Nyarlathotep User ID: 20053617 United States 12/19/2012 05:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | law enforcement officers from New England are driving to Virginia to hand deliver Christmas cards and gifts to a young 5 yr old boy fighting cancer - since 2009. Quoting: Phennommennonn [link to www.abc27.com] Good to see some goodness in the world. All we preach is doom and believe the world to be black and white... when in fact it is just shades of gray. Yes, there are good cops out there and glad to see them doing something notably kind. I have met both flavors and everywhere in between. Was stopped by a police officer and made to stand in the rain. He did it on purpose and was acting like an ass about it. I have also been stopped with someone in my back seat caught with paraphernalia and the cop let us go, letting the person with the stuff know to keep that stuff at home and only do it at home. 5 Stars for you :) itis sad for the tax payers of "New England", whoarenow without police protection, that the police had to drive hundreds of costly miles out of town to find some sick, little kid they could use to make themselves look good. You are correct in the excessiveness. 100 cars is a bit much. Even 10 probably would be been a lot. How many cops actually work in the New England area though? Maybe this is a small amount? One from each town? Not for me to judge as I don't know the full story. Still glad to see gifts given to a kid in need rather than batons smashed into the face of a protester. |

It costs about 100 bucks easy, round trip and tolls. 6 hours each way. they'll also have to stay overnight in a hotel somewhere. UPS and FEDEX go everyday and don't use tax payer resources. stupid pr stunt. |

Anything else is pure PR bullshit.

What, they couldn't charter a few buses? |

I do hope they are paying for the gas themselves. Seems like publicity. How about visiting all the children in Iraq or any country we oppressed and apologize for killing their parents or bombing their school. |

Quoting: Phennommennonn Are you kidding me? Someone is getting stabbed, raped, or robbed at this very moment and the police are delivering gifts? Since they have so many people with that kind of time, might as well take up pizza delkivery too. They might earn extra cash that way. This is either a useless stunt, or they are up to something else. What could that be? Well, it could be anything. A secret cocaine deal? Advanced training? A new Manhattan Project? Invaders from Denmark? Or maybe they're just doing what they think is the best way to show their Xmas spirit. If that's the case, the people of PA need to think carefully about who calls the shots on how department resources are allocated. |

Quoting: Phennommennonn Here in Oklahoma we call it "shop with a cop" for Christmas and numerous local police departments buy gifts for kids who otherwise would not recieve much in the way of gifts. Here's an abundance of small town news articles about it: [link to www.google.com] The kids get picked up by a police officer in uniform, transported in a cop car (front seat!), go shopping for clothes and toys, then usually get taken out as a group for lunch or snacks with other kids and cops. Truly, it is a beautiful thing, and many civic organisations donate towards it. Great public relations for the local police, plus kids get a positive experience getting to know their local officers as real, warm-blooded people.

Or maybe they are visiting to xtort him for his piggy bank money? However the most probable scenario is they will visit the room, 'smell marijuana', knock him around a bit with loaded glocks then demand 'harsh' penalties and surveillance power over the parents. Just speculating.... |
