So I recently was watching dash cam footage of various emergency services responding to calls.
And please do read through this entirely before carving out any opinions.
Until I cam across this video:[Mart Texas cops hate legal gestures. Copblock.]
View at your own pleasure...
Now something that is actually meaningful towards this title, of which I was going to get at later on, some things I hate about people, that makes me want to become a hobbit:
Ignorance
Dishonesty
Stealing
Arrogance
I know it's really not much, but they all go hand-in-hand, and in a way, I guess you could say this post is a bit of arrogance on my part, and that is completely objective. Anyway, ever since I started playing Football, including all of the accolades, I've noticed how much I've came to hating people, especially online. It may just be a small case of smalltownboyitis, but who really knows? Coming from a questionable mental background (Crazy white people! Am I right?), and that of seclusion. I was an extreme introvert. I hated being social, hated school, hated spending time with people who cared about me, ect., basically all the downsides of becoming a teenager. Until my discovery of LCPDFR, I never had any interest of becoming a peace officer, nor even paid attention to the recent happenings, and outcries of people who where distraught about the men and women who take it upon themselves to serve the people. Which brings me to the video I posted (Be warned, those who did not, or will not watch the video, you MAY not understand this next bit.), why in the world would you promote your rights, and punish his? All Officer Adams was doing was feeding his curiosity, and stopping by if you needed any help? Or maybe it was because you flipped off Officer Adams. I have no clue. Than, Mr. Dennis, I presume is his name, continued being rude, and complained about Adam's yelling at him. You wonder why he's yelling at you, when you are yelling at him. Maybe if you stopped interrupting Adam's, and let him convey his concern for either your safety, or well-being, he would've not had threatened to arrest you for non-compliance. I find it amusing how he "had" to point out his anonymous sticker on his car. Now, I'm not thrashing the group, but Dennis gives that group a bad name. I also think Dennis might need to look into a nifty-little thing called communication, and use it, instead of abusing it. Sure he made his point valid. But was it really worth it?
Scott Dennis, if you where to read this, you should have some pride in yourself, and respect the officer, who is loyal to serve you, and anyone you know. If you hadn't thrown your common sense out the window, you could have saved a lot of people headaches. Also, apologizing would help, in the case you disrespected Adam's by waving them a "legal" gesture. Y'know, since Officer Adam was just doing his job...
(Sorry if my words got a little "heated" in the latter from above.)
Some things I have learned however:
Honesty
Loyalty
Respect
Pride
I'll be frank with you, I think the things I learned to put into practice, should just become part of the standardized curriculum taught in educational facilities all across the United States. To put those four things---I'm not including common sense---into practice seems to be challenging for some people, but I assure, overall, people will come to respect you as a human being.
It seems people have forgotten that everyone is the same human under their skin. Yet it's objective, sadly...
I love education, love to learn, and share that knowledge with like-minded people. And to learn, and be able to express it properly, you must be able to love, respect, and be honest to yourself. With that being said, to really be able to put those four things I've learned into practice, you must be able to apply those four in the blue list to your life, and banish those in the red.
This is one of the reasons why I love the LCPDFR community, because you get people of all professions, races, sexual orientations, religions, ect., to come onto a single modification for a simple, yet complex video game, and still enjoy it. Everyone forgets about anything separating, and focus on a single goal of entertainment. This could be said about many other gaming communities. But I enjoy this one in particular.
What are your thoughts on "Cop Blocking" and people similar to Dennis who "practice" their freedom of speech? Do you think they are proving their point? Or making fools of themselves? Or what have you learned from those people?
P.S. This is for you Scott Dennis.
A "little" analogy of minding your own Business: When a bird lands on a tree branch and starts to sing it's song. A person approaches and says, "Bird, I love your song! It makes my morning feel so vibrant!" The bird replies, "Great! But It's just what I do?" Then the person walks away. Now an angry fellow approaches and yells, "Bird! You are so annoying! Stop singing that song of yours and go somewhere else!" but the bird replies, "So? It's just what I do?" and the angry man walks away, while the bird continues to sing his song.
P.P.S
Also, here's an awesome Dash cam video :D

(Also sorry if somethings don't make since, it's midnight, and it Scott's video was keeping me up in frustration. Will revise a bite more later XD)
