Police Officer Killed In Crash During First Day On The Job

<snip>

A crash during a police chase killed a Tabor City, N.C., police officer early Saturday, just hours after he was sworn in as an officer.

Officer Timothy Shane Miller died at the scene of a wreck on N.C. 940, after the squad car he was in struck another vehicle while on a police chase. Another officer was driving the car and was also injured in the crash, but his injuries were not life-threatening.

Tabor City is about 10 miles north of Loris across the state line.

Miller always dreamed of becoming a police officer, said Tabor City Mayor Marion Baxter. The 27-year-old man had worked as a firefighter and a corrections officer before going to school to become a police officer.

"His father told me that, ever since he was six, he wanted to be a police officer," Baxter said.

Geez...

Not as ood as a drunk off duty police officer hiting another off duty police officer which happened in my hometown.

never had the chance to help bushco supress protestors, or beat blind old women for fun

That's cold. Did you mean it that way?

the police are quickly becoming the enemy

their help.

and they failed, because thier incopitent, and wont lift a finger to help, but go out of thier way to hurt you

It varies from department to department though, some departments in general are assholes while many others are very professional about their job. But how do you know this individual would end up abusing the power he has?

i knew some cops once, and they were ALL paranoid freaks, i caught one trying to plant drugs in my house once

I suggest you do a search on the posts of our very own Cuban_liberal and re-think the extremism of those comments.

those are the ones i am speaking about

You're saying that the DUers who happen to be cops are paranoid and to be considered "the enemy?"

i'm saying the police HERE have been put through mental conditioning to believe that everyone is out to get them, and they should only trust other cops, its something i have seen elsewhere as well, and its spreading, thare ARE good cops, just not as manny

Everywhere.

While I'm not always keen on cops, there are the honorable ones and I've met a few of them too.

I wish our society was geared toward helping whistleblowers and the ilk instead of intimidating them. THAT would be the first start to getting society back onto ethical ground.

a world with police. a world without them. hmm :spank: :spank: :spank:

a world with police trained to help people and serve the public trust Vs. A world with police made up of mostly the macho rambo type, and fed so much bullshit it has turned them all paranoid
