Off-Duty coppers

[Louwai]

Happened to a rellie of mine in WA when running late to drop off kid to school, there is either some sort of overtime scam going on or some of those "employees" seem to have major personal issues.

I hear what you're saying, but my neighbour in Brissy was a guy who genuinly believed in the law. He was just an average guy who happened to be a copper & who happened to believe that what he did was making a difference.
Some of the stories he told me were quite amazing.
One day, while working, he pulled over a speeding car. Was 2 young guys in it. Nothing to cause him to suspect anything, no drugs search, just general speeding issue. While he was standing at the drivers window writing the ticket the passenger pulled out a sawn off 22 & shot him.
The mentality of some wankers is amazing. This idiot could have copped a speeding fine & still been free on the street, but instead he's now doing time for attempted murder.
There are plenty out there who would applaud this kid's actions too.

And the coppers get crap money. Stuffed if I would put up with being shot at for the money they get.
