[QUOTE="soonersfan, post: 1582655, member: 9063"] Well I did not mean to start a cop bashing thread even though that is obviously where my comments would take us. I have two friends who are cops and they are great human beings. When I said I don't like most cops I've met I was being honest but I wasn't stereotyping the whole profession. I am always respectful to LEO and give them the benefit of the doubt until they give me a reason not to. Even when they are a-holes, I have never cursed at LEO, given them the bird or done anything else whatsoever to be disrespectful. Although a few individuals have left a bad image in my mind, I still respect the profession and what they go through on a daily basis. I spoke to the guy's supervisor today who admitted the officer could have handled it better and said he would have a talk with him. I'm satisfied with that. After I hung up, a couple of my employees came in and elaborated further. They said the officer was red faced, his voice was really elevated and most of our 70+ customers in the dining room were just sitting there wide eyed watching the whole thing go down until my manager went outside with the officer. I don't care about this guy getting a mark in his file, a suspension or even fired. I just want him to admit he did wrong, maybe even apologize and hopefully learn something from his mistake. It is hard for me to believe this would not create some negative connotation with customers about what is going on at my restaurant. I feel his actions were a personal attack on my livelihood. The fact of the matter is, I went into this situation with every intent of cooperating with the officer. Now I will be much less inclined to do so should I have the opportunity in the future. I had a similar situation like this in the past where an officer needed to arrest an employee. I gave him the employee's schedule and just asked that he be discreet and avoid coming in between 11:30 and 1:30. I told him I would call the employee to the back for a conference where they would be waiting for him and escort him out the back door. He agreed. Of course he showed up at 12:30, cuffed the guy in the dining room and acted like a total douche to me when I asked why he did not honor his word. Now that I have had two similar experiences, I am totally done volunteering any information or cooperation in the future. If I ever here of a cop "helping" someone, I will post it on here asap. I'm sure it happens. I am just not aware of it. I've seen OHP helping those in need many times and I greatly appreciate it. If ever I have the chance to help one of them, I'll be all over it. As for City cops, I know there are a lot of good ones out there. I hope I get a chance to meet more of them in the future. In the meantime, I hope they'll try to clean house of their colleagues that give them all a bad name. [/QUOTE]
