09/25 Fireproof Your Marriage

Quote From: mpierre

My lord..  so what he's a cop.  He seems like he feels he's God and the wife and kids should listen to him and bow down .  LOL  My brother is a cop as well.  This guy talked alot about respect.  Well buddy u earn respect in the sreets and at home! He looks to me to be a bit arrogant and self centered.  He is just 1 of many who thinks the badge and gun make him someone SPECIAL.  You are NO special than anyone else.  Just look around at the corruption and bad press of late.... respect?  As I said earn it.   We all have stress at work, we all want to be heard, but theres a time for it all, when you have a spouse and children.  He may be a real nice guy ( doubt it tho)  but he came off to me as just another cop who wears the badge for the power.   Well budd u have no power at home!

You obviously don't get it. Your BROTHER is a Police Officer. You don't work in PS nor do you have a romantic relationship with someone in PS. Therefore, you can't grasp the concept. There is a huge difference between someone who works at Wal*Mart, a grocery store, a gas station, at a bank, a call center or anywhere else and people that work in PS. You might have a bad day at work, but it doesnt involve someone raping a child, it doesnt involve someone's mangled dead body being pulled from wreckage, it doesn't involve a house fire with people trapped inside, it doesn't involve what our jobs involve.

 

Responses like this are the idiocracy that spread poor opinions of people in PS. We are different. We go out and we serve our communities, states, and our country as first responders out to help the public. If we were selfish people who were only concerned about ourselves we'd probably be in whatever line of work that you're in. We want to be appreciated for who we are and what we do.

Yay!!!!! Say it like it is. I tried to be nice...read Eye Opener...Page 7(i think) Seriously, a lot of cops, and not to offend, (ALL first time responders) think they are the s***. My husband is...you know why...because he respects us therefore we respect him. It is a job! A job to be respected, in my book, but all jobs should be respected on some level. The ego doesn't work. Be a man or woman and be caring and gentle. Be a member of the family. It seems everyone is complaining or whining about how they are so hard done by. Do you want to fix it or not? Be willing to put in the work and time that it takes to make a marriage succeed. To those of you who keep bringing up watching the movie ...this show was not solely about the movie and your interpretation of it. I keep reading how people are insulted that everyone is responding in regards to cops, firefighters, etc. and the movie was about this or that. I believe the show started with a story about a couple who was divorced and the husband was in law enforcement. WAY LATER... the movie came up. Give people room to respond to the ENTIRE show...not just the part you were able to watch!!
