Bruce, I swore I was going to stay out of this but your comments are so far out of line that I can not refrain from telling you that your just plain WRONG. Law Enforcement is a choice when it comes to choosing a career. However the issues that come with it that they don't tell you are large amounts of stress, underpay, going to court in the middle of your sleep time, waiting for the next idiot you come in contact with to either want to fight or take a shot at you. You work in a chemical plant right, they give you a plastic suit and hood and let you control chemicals that can kill you but you have CONTROL, LEO's have NO CONTROL on who and when that someone wants to kill them. Yes they are trained but they are dealing with low life scum with no morals nor compunction about shooting a police officer just to traffic their dope, or other illegal activities. If you get injured at work you can sue for inadequate training or poor equipment. Cops can't sue the POS that hurts them because well their pieces of sh*t and have nothing, you have a giant corporation to go after. Having walked a mile in their shoes I can only tell you that you are so completely out of line on this it is ludicrous to even continue. In fact I just can't express myself any more on this and for that reason i am out. Terry PS Tim, let it go man he is wrong and I bet 99.9% on this site agree with the fact he is wrong and support the LEO's and there effort to protect us. My thanks to you and your family for what you do. Terry

WOW! Really ? what I do is just a job? Well come down here so I can introduce you to 4 familes that no longer have a dad because he was MURDERED doing his job. If everyone played by the rules then there would be no need for law enforcement. Please enlighten me as to the other jobs that are as dangerous to the safety of the public as law enforcement. And I don't want to hear, Firefighter or paramedic. I know those are dangerous jobs but they know what they are going to before they arrive and can prep for the situation or call for more help. We (Law Enforcement) do not have that luxury, help can be over an hour away at times. I know pay cuts are sometimes needed and I can appreciate that. But to come out and cut almost 40% of my check right away is not right. If you think that is ok then please sign up and work along side of me and I don't want to hear you gripe about the work load and the pay. I have never met you and don't hold any bad feelings towards your opinions, thats how you feel. But to make statements about our jobs not being dangerous is just wrong. By doing your job do you get bounty's put on your head? WE DO! By doing your job do you feel any payback or retribution coming at you? WE DO. By doing your job do you feel good knowing you did what you could do to keep the border safe? WE DO!!!!! P.S. I see you live in Big Bear accoring to your signature. How about the lunatic that just got burned to the ground in that cabin. He targeted cops. Innocent cops that had nothing to do with him being fired. Now those families have to deal with them not being around because they we doing their job. This man KILLED them in retirbution for being fired. Hmmm not that dangerous of a job at all. Kiss the wife good bye as you walk out the door never to return..But hey it's JUST A JOB.

This is suppose to be fun forum. I am not going to get into arrgument with you. DDR doesn't need that kind of conversation going on. I am retired and worked in the construction related industry for over 40 years. I just thought your statement was unneeded and didn't keep with the mood of DDR or respect for the job BPGuy does every day. It sounded like you were taking a statement and turning it into something that was intended to put BP Guy down. With that, I took offense. I respect Law Enforcement in any situation and think they are under paid for putting their life on the line every day they go to work. If you disagree with that, it is your right. It is also my right to disagree. So....loosen your shorts and accept peoples statements that may not agree with you. There seem to be more and more posts that just make no sense any more. It almost seems like some just like to start sh*t or argument. I don't think DDR was set up to do that! Your responce had nothing to do with what your post said.....????? I'm done, said my piece and thats it! Politics or relegion have no place on here IMHO.

What does the price of gas have to do with my topic? I took this job knowing I might die. I also took this knowing I might have to kill someone. All I was asking was for you to take 3 minutes of your time and sign a petition that could save me and 21,000 other agents alot of money. We spend alot of money over seas on things that are trivial at best. We need to focus on our nation first. I have been doing this job almost 11 years now. My living has grown accustomed to my pay. My mortgage will suffer alot if I lose this money. I drive 9 miles to work so gas and my car is irrelevant. By the way, I own my truck so why go buy another car and have a payment? Anyone that puts their life on the line on a daily basis should be paid higer then joe blo the paper pusher. Our military gets SCREWED! They should make more than me. And people that jump to the conclusion that we make too much are usually jealous that I get what I get but they are too lazy to find a job that makes as much or more. If your a hater of the government payscale because your on the outside looking in. I think you know who to blame. If not I have a mirror you can borrow. And thanks to all that support me on here. I know alot of you personally and call you all my friends. Oh BTW... 1320--- That child molester I caught in the field and and is now in jail waiting to be sent home just might have been coming to your neighborhood looking for your son/daughter. Just a thought........

Maybe should get a good education and dedicate 30+ years of yours and your family's life to National Security and then try and determine who is overpaid. Or be the size of an overgrown Sasquatch and try and squeeze in all the areas of an M1A1 Main Battle Tank that would be a tight fit for a Korean midget or even a spider monkey all the while spark chasing and trying to keep the weapon of war in the fight so that when some Islamic Zhithead that is trying to disrupt your Freedoms and Liberties simply because you don't believe the way he does steps into the gunners crosshairs said gunner can make said Zhithead disappear from the face of the earth when he squeezes the trigger. That is only one of the many small simple tasks that I perform from day to day to make my "big bank" as you refer to it. I puts a roof over my family's head and some groceries on the table and allows for some recreation from time to time. I wouldn't consider it big bank but for the 7 or so years of being seperated from my wife and children over a 20 year career in the Marine Corps and then the hard azz job I have as a Civilian Marine I'll take it. I don't know if Tim gets paid once a month or bi-weekly but regardless, $800 it a big hit. And I would not want his job any day of the week. Thanks for the tasks that you're performing Tim. Gotta be tough trying to keep the Homeland safe and being under appreciated at the same time.

What he TRIES to do? Maybe you don't understand what our border patrol agents successfully accomplish every day for our country.
