Sensitive LAPD brother...(Valencia)

[kaphow]

I apologize in advance for making this appear like the "missed connections" portion of Craigslist, but I really had this eating at me since roughly 1330 today. Addressed to my LEO comrade at the always professional LAPD: Today at 1258 hours you felt I slighted you and "cut you off" while attempting to free up the fast lane while driving my not-so-fast county vehicle. I assure you this was not done on purpose and with malicious intent; I simply perceived your unit to be well enough behind for me to make a safe lane change. Apparently not, as you zipped into the fast lane and zoomed ahead to complete your shift. Curse me briefly then go 10-7. Cool, or so I thought...

No, you went the extra step to run the plate and call my Sergeant to angrily vent to him regarding what loony driving habits I have along with other such gripes. Ticky tack, Good Sir. I'm sure you have beat partners getting half off their cups of coffee; make sure you take measures to ensure your Watch Commander gets wind of this. After that, grow a pair.

That Dep...

What a tattle!

What a tattle!

Very much so. This is likely a fruitless attempt at gaining the attention of this particular individual so I can gain a little perspective on what I did that prompted such a weak move. Just seems chicken s--- to me.

Today's "new cop:" Making you look bad so they will look better. Very weak.

What did your sgt have to say about it if I may ask?

Sgt. was on his way out til Tuesday, so he got the rundown on my end and pretty much gave a "Eh, we'll cover it next week"

lol, he's not worried about it!
I hope he's on here..............(the other guy I mean)

[kaphow]

Yeah, that's kinda what I'm hoping for. Every department has several of them, I'm sure, but you never imagine being the guy that falls victim to this BS. I shouldn't be but I am irrationally bothered about it. Haha.

[DOAcop38]

curious- were you in the city or the County? and WHY do you care? Like already said, some folks are part of the "new cop" generation- all ego, and little focus on "what they have to do". I've been cut off on the fwy, blown past( yeah, the light speed decal stripping speed) and have had other coppers drag their ARSES when I was behind them !

once had a CHP officer and his partner literally follow me and mine up the 405 fwy from Mulholland to burbank blvd then HIT his lights on me to PULL OVER!!- slowed down just enough to WTF look him, and when he rolled down his window, he tried to tell me to "slow down"; as he did so, the drunken warrant suspect in my back seat KICKED the window out in full view of the CHP officers- they then proceeded to say " TAKE CARE" and DROVE OFF NORTH !!!!!( several minutes later, suspect OC'D- trainee as well- and off to Van Nuys jail we were again)

I think we make too much out of the holier than thou attitudes between each other. As long as Joe citizen- the guy/gal paying the taxes- doesn't complain about us, why should we do it to ourselves........

CHP calls in about LAPD shops all the time big deal.

Some guys just can't get over themselves and think the are the top dog at all times.

Besides..... if I had to call an LASD station every time I saw a Dep do something stupid I'd never get off the phone!!

























JUST KIDDING!

That's funny. Hey, I'm just happy to hear that you'd actually be on the street to see a Dep do something stupid, since we rarely see a LAPD unit on the streets ; )






























JUST KIDDING!

[mtxpro752]

Hah, I see Deps on the street all the time, oh wait, it's not really the street I guess... or do you guys consider sitting in the 7-11 parking lot for 4 hours at a time "patrolling"
LOL

Fig and Adams always looks like a multi agency command post, LAPD, LASD, CHP , LAUSD, LA GSPD, USC DPS all hanging out at any given moment.

[Berlioz]

lol, I don't think I've ever been to that 7/11 without sering another copper there...

I see deputies in front of hollywood and highland all the time, but TSB doesn't count....right?

Lol, jk...

When I was a student at USC, I would always laugh at this. Talk about a bad spot to "do something." I always wondered why people always made comments about how scared they were to go there. The University Park area, especially to the north along Jefferson is basically like Baghdad's Green Zone.
