Who will help you now? A cop questionnaire...

[LickNeckey]

Have been running an informal poll and am interested in your feedback.

Only interested in personal interactions and history with law enforcement.

A mixed bag.

The white cops mixed from downright harassment to very helpful

One bad incident with a black cop who was clearly working on the ticket quota, but otherwise great, including one that was super great.

[DaBigTrain]

Never gotten a ticket for anything and only pulled over 3 times(2 for under car LED’s and one time for going 6 over) so I have very limited experience. The cops in the D.A.R.E program in middle school seemed fine.

Cops got me out of two jams in my youth.

[puniraptor]

missouri cops absolutely LOVE pulling over kansans for having no front license plate

[DaBigTrain]

Last year I had two separate incidents where a bullet was fired from my neighbor's apartment into mine. I don't know if they prevented anything but tbh I'm glad the police came.

[puniraptor]

are the guys who manhandle 85 year old men trying to sell an extra ticket at the bill kstate cops? or possibly hired guns from the surrounding area?

[puniraptor]

i've always driven really shitty cars, so i get pulled over alot (even tho white)

[cfbandyman]

Baseball coach in HS was cop, so definitely suffered the harassment during workouts

ge'ing aside, not a lot of interaction. Had a decently cool student resource officer that happened to move from my middle school to high school as I moved up. Since all my high school interactions are well over a decade ago, most recent stuff has been pulled over once and I think mostly inconsequential. Nothing bad, but no real connection or care besides always seeing them in their big ass SUVs and shades and enough equipment on their belts to make batman jealous.

I speed a lot (always) and used to get pulled over a lot in the shittier cars. Now that I drive a joco soccer mom SUV cops don't even notice me.

I got pulled over a shitload when I drove crappy old Buicks.  Was like 1 for 13 on getting written up for a ticket though.  Now I drive a nice car and almost never get pulled over, but I'm 1 for 1 on getting tickets.  Other than that my experience with cops has been as an SRO / football coach who was great, and MHK cops breaking up house parties.

On the wide open Savannah plain of joco it's hard to tell where one joco soccer mom car begins and the other ends. Zebra's are some of nature's most special animals.

Oh man remember when you thought it was the best idea to just “act like you were 21” and not go inside or act like you cared the cops showed up? Maybe just me but I should have gotten so many MIP’s from doing that....didn’t though

I had one super close call from exactly that like 4 months before turning 21.  I was going to be pissed!

RCPD once gave me a ride home when I was over served. That was nice of them.

I helped solve a robbery in MHK.. went down to the station and all of that.. biggest mistake was texting a cop buddy instead of calling crime stoppers my reward was a handwritten card and varsity donuts

My apartment got robbed on Easter Sunday my first year at KSU and the RCPD barely even cared and the case was never solved

I left my car unlocked at a girlfriend's and someone opened the door and swiped some stuff.  RCPD came out and dusted for prints and everything.  I don't think they ever found the perp.

Oh crap, this reminded me of the one positive police interaction. My friend asked a cop if he could give us a ride from burrito King to Jayhawk towers after a night of mass st pakking and I ate my burrito in the back. Only time I've ever been in a cop car.

Had a drunk dude kicking on my condo door, thought he was going to break it, opened up and calmed him down but he kept coming back as he thought his buddy lived there and that there was a party going on inside.  Ended up calling 911 and I don't think they believed I didn't know the person but they sent a car out.  Took awhile so I decided to walk him down to the local bar and was going to throw him in a cab.  His buddy came walking the other way and was like "there you are!".  Cop car pulled up around that time so I told his buddy "SOMEBODY called the cops on your buddy, might want to get him out of here" and I went and talked to the cop.  She was a nice older than you'd think lady and was super sweet regard my situation.

My door was locked and was kicked in(could have been a 3 year old that kicked it in because the apartment was so shitty) and they didn’t even look for prints. We told them it was the drug dealer house across the street but they never even checked!

not my story.. but my brother left his keys in his truck while at a party.. truck was stolen but was super low on gas.. brother noticed it was gone so they called the cops. cops found the truck and the guys at a gas station. truck was filled up and nothing else wrong with it. they also found stolen bikes and stereos.

Our buddy got dropped off at our house one time hammered/sobbing with a black eye babbling about how he got jumped at a party. This guy looks like mr burns from the simpsons and is the most harmless person in the world so we were all pissed. He didn't know where he was at so we made to DD take us back to where he got picked up at so we could figure out what happened.

Turns out he wandered away from aggieville to a house party, thought it was his house and kept trying to kick everyone out. While trying to kick everyone out of their own house he told a girl to "be quiet missy" and she punched him in the face then took his phone and called the last person in his call history to come pick him up.

We ended up hanging out there the rest of the night talking about what a dumbass our friend was.

[michigancat]

my most recent interaction with the police involved a female youth basketball coach/suburban cop who verbally abused 3rd and 4th grade girls, and not just her own daughter. Like she would get in their face and scream "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" and told a third grade girl on my team that she was fine, get up" when they got banged up. The last time we played them she was especially awful to a player who took too much time to shoot free throws after a hard foul and someone from the stands yelled "How are you even a coach?" and after the game she scolded me telling me "you need to get your dad in line" referring to the rando who thought she sucked.

Perhaps not coincidentally, a junior high football coach I had who was really abusive ended up coming back into my awareness in a semi-viral video as a sheriff's deputy being a verbally abusive dick to innocent people a few years later.

Personally have only had positive interactions.

My brother in law who is black has been pulled over for crazy reasons, “swerving”, following too close. He’s had an officer approach with gun drawn in the evening at least once.


Don’t think he was ticketed in any.
