And before it comes up, you are so very welcome and glad this example of how the system typically works could be shared.

Another lying post by the master cop hater Jason B. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Since fuckin' when are meter maids "Cops"???? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

If you are going to paste such shit, at least do your research which took me all of about 10 minutes:

Persons regularly employed as investigators by the Department of Transportation for the City of Los Angeles and designated by local ordinance as public officers, to the extent necessary to enforce laws related to public transportation, and authorized by a memorandum of understanding with the chief of police, permitting the exercise of that authority. For the purposes of this subdivision, "investigator" means an employee defined in Section 53075.61 of the Government Code authorized by local ordinance to enforce laws related to public transportation. Transportation investigators authorized by this section shall not be deemed "peace officers" for purposes of Sections 241 and 243.

The sections referred to concerns increased penalties for assaulting a peace officer. (which is what a COP is defined as) Cops carry guns, have unlimited powers of arrest (i.e, not limited to traffic enforcement) & are both sworn & certified.

These meter maids might have a badge & a uniform but that is as far as it goes in comparison to 'cops' ya dumbass. Nice try retard.

Hey G-man..we'll compromise and just call them government employee POS.....

You know about government POS employees, don't you?

I thought so.

So if it isn't a reflection on your "real cops" who are on the same team as these people, then why have none of them been arrested for assault and so on?

[the gman]

How are they on the same team? Did the LA meter maids go thru a police academy? Are they certified? Are they authorized to carry firearms or employed by a certified law enforcement authority?

Er, no, no, & no. They are, as mentioned above, local government POS employees.

The reason they have yet to be prosecuted has way more to do with a completely dysfunctional, bloated bureaucracy that can't get its shit together more than any kind of 'professional courtesy' that might exist in your tiny, twisted mind.

I'd go further & say that most 'real' cops despise these wanna be, fat, worthless douchenozzles & would love to charge them with a crime.

Did the guy who was punched in the arm call the real cops & make a formal complaint of battery? If not, why not?

Seems like the other meter maids who screwed up got punished by the criminal justice system?


-An on-duty LADOT officer was arrested while soliciting a prostitute. Two additional officers have been convicted of soliciting prostitutes.

- An LADOT officer was convicted of shoplifting from a West LA Macy’s, and then later was arrested again on a charge of shoplifting from a supermarket.

Oh, that would mean some real cops arrested the losers above & took it all the way to conviction; hardly the actions of officers with any kind of predisposition to let folks on the "same team" go unpunished???

The fact that these pricks remain on the LADOT payroll indicates that they are completely NOT 'cops' in any fashion. Any certified police officer convicted of such offenses would more than likely be fired. Again, you might think they are 'cops' but the truth is far different, as usual. Try harder, retard...... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Not sure how the article mention of :

"-An LADOT officer “punched” a motorist who yelled at him."

becomes the innocuous:

"the guy who was punched in the arm"

considering:

"The same officer later threw a heavy steel padlock at a supervisor."


I realize is a different agency (although in the same area,) but do the people mentioned meet your definition of real cops?

In regard to "the guy who was punched in the arm", watch the fuckin' video you provided moron. The man who was punched perfectly describes what happened & he was punched in the fuckin' arm. Why is that so difficult for you to understand dimwit?

I'll check the rest of your link later but I think I have adequately demonstrated that you have a one track (tiny) mind when any person that wears a uniform is called a 'Cop'. Pisses me off in the same way that other numbnuts with a similar IQ call mags 'clips'...... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Looked at the link. Transient got lucky that a county employee was involved rather than a non-county employee. Story doesn't say when the deputy's shift ended when he had his "couple of beers" but regardless, the deputy had certainly been trained in DWI & should have been aware that he was still under the influence. Therefore he shouldn't have been driving that morning.

From the story, the transient was out of his mind on meth, opiates & benzo when the crash occurred. Who caused the crash was never determined so it could have been the deputy who ran the light or the doper. Given the cocktail of drugs floating around in the doper, my money is on him, regardless of the status of the other driver.

If you replace the deputy with any other county or city worker, I'm pretty sure the settlement would be the same. Don't agree with that either, especially when the doper was so whacked out.

Sounds like the deputy had a smart lawyer who negotiated a plea deal that allowed him to keep his job; I personally think he should have been fired for betraying the trust that was placed in him by the public. Where I live, any LEO caught DWI is going to get fired, period.

Also, DWI in the morning after period is a huge problem everywhere. Fully 45% of all DWI convictions in this county are caught between 5am & 9am. As I said, he should have known better as he had been trained in DWI enforcement. He had a smart lawyer & managed to squirm his way out of being fired but he's certainly not an example of the kind of LEO I would want working in my county.

The only video on that page I am seeing is an ad for Citibank and didn't even realive that was a video the first time I read the story. Let me know where you found it and I will watch it.

Now as to the rest, notice how your real cop was very similar in activities and everything else compared to the meter maids?

Firstly, he's not "my real cop". I don't care who is behaving badly & betraying the public trust, they all deserve condemnation. Regardless of if they are a deputy, a meter maid or a NY house rep, they should be held to a higher standard. Never said anything different. Have issues with people using incorrect terminology to describe occupations, especially when they have ulterior motives as you do.

Secondly, he was convicted of DWI, didn't punch anyone, consort with prostitutes or shoplift anything so I fail to see the correlation with the meter maids? Unless all illegal activity by anyone is considered equal in your world?

When I open your link using FireFox, right underneath the headline there is what looks like a photo with a big 'play' symbol right on it that shows the patch of the the City of Los Angeles Traffic Officer on an meter maid's shoulder. It's so bloody obvious that even a clueless pillock like you should be able to see it. :tongue: :tongue:

When you watch the video, you will hear the guy who was allegedly punched telling what happened. I'm not saying the event didn't happen but absent evidence of same, it would be hard to gain a conviction.

Again, did the guy file a complaint or not? If not, why not? It surely can't be because he had no faith in the real cops taking action because as the the report clearly shows, they do & have done so or none of the meter maids would have have been convicted/arrested for their malfeasance. Couldn't be that he might just be pissed that he got a ticket & wanted to get the meter maid in trouble? No, cuz everyone is always so honest, all the time, especially when they are getting a citation. Let's take it at face value & consider that the meter maid did punch his shoulder, what are the legal options? The meter maid could be arrested for simple battery but how is it going to be proven? It's a case of he said, she said & most DA's won't proceed on that basis. The citizen can also make an official complaint to the DOT & hope that they take action. From what I have read, good luck with that due entirely to the institutional bureaucracy rampant in that bloated department.

His next step would be a lawsuit, all the lawyers will make money out of that one.

If them still having their jobs bugs you so much, write the City Councillors & the Sheriff in question to complain & quit wasting bandwidth on horseshit.

I never noticed it till now so no problem. Why you had to resort to insults is a bit of a mystery however. Never mind, we can just get more instances of real cops violating the public trust so eventually you will feel the need to defend them.
