I Almost Died Today and My Thoughts On Cops May Have Changed

[BluePhantom]

I was raised in Lewiston, Idaho and taught to respect the police....and I did. Then I moved to Phoenix, Arizona and got a very different taste about what the police were all about. I grew to hate them because they were just another gang in a battle against gangbangers and us law abiding people were caught in between.

I used to tell my friends from out of state that Arizona cops do not discriminate. That's total bullshit. They don't harass Mexicans, falsify evidence against Hispanics, lie on the stand against Hispanics...they do that to EVERYONE whether you are Hispanic or not.

Then I moved to Oregon and my hatred of the police followed me.

Then this morning I got into a car wreck....a bad one. On other threads I have posted about "God moments" where there is no other explanation but divine intervention. I have no idea how I am alive right now and I have no idea how someone didn't get killed.

I just blacked out. I was driving perfectly fine just like any other day. I wasn't drunk,I wasn't hung over, I was fully rested so I wasn't tired....I was coughing...I started coughing very hard and it wouldn't stop....then I just passed out.

My next memory is the airbag in my face and me shaking like a leaf in a hurricane. I have no idea what happened.

By the grace of God I survived and no one else was hurt. My car is totally destroyed but I am alive and no one else was hurt.

The cops at the scene were AWESOME. They took care of me, took care of the situation. They didn't understand why I would just black out like that so they tested me...I blew a 0.0 LOL I wasn't under the influence. But they were really incredible.

I am glad to be alive today. i am glad I didn't kill anyone today. And the police were so awesome....maybe I don't hate them anymore.

Thank you to the Portland Oregon Police Department

I am happy you survived a very bad experience. I too had a similar occurrence but fortunately I was sitting in my reading chair. Same thing though, major coughing attack and then my wife was shaking me and calling my name in a very concerned tone. The coughing cut off oxygen to the brain and the rest followed.

My guess is the same happened to you.

I am a smoker. In the mornings I can occasionally go into coughing fits where I am trying to clear my lungs. Sometimes it causes me to hyperventilate and it makes me dizzy. That has to be what happened. I remember starting to cough. I had to have gone into a coughing fit that filled my brain with carbon dioxide and deprived it of oxygen and i blacked out.

Yeah i am certain the same thing happened. i was totally fine. Just another day on the way to work. I remember the first cough, then I remember my head spinning, then I remember the airbag hitting my face and thinking "what the fuck just happened?"

You may have a really hard time for GOVT to EVER let you drive again.

I think this is your body telling you it's time to quit....

Ya Think? I am just happy to be alive and that I didn't kill someone. It is a busy street. There were so many people around. So many cars....even the cops said I didn't so anything wrong. I wasnt cited for anything, I didn't even get so much as a ticket for anything....i just blacked out.

those cops were awesome. They listened to the EMTs at the scene and when the EMTs told them "he just passed out, he didn't do anything wrong". Those cops were totally on my side. Although one of them chided me saying "You need to go to a doctor and figure out why this happened and make sure it doesn't happen again"

Police are a service we pay for through our taxes.

In spite of the stupid claims by some that they represent socialism...they simply represent civilization.

Glad you are O.K.

Glad your experience with the police was good.

I've never met a police officer I didn't have a lot of respect for.

My hatred for the police started with Arizona....my ex-wife was basically crazy. Oh i was thrilled when she told me she was "bi"....I just wish she would have told me the next part was "polar". One night she got her crazy on and started attacking me, I mean really beating the shit out of me and I wasn't doing anything to her. When the cops arrived she started running around crying and claiming I was beating HER. The cops didn't just arrest me...they slammed my head into the car frame as they were "guiding me" into the car, they slammed my face into the bars and kept saying "so you want to hit a woman, huh? Here's what happens". They really worked me over.

I never laid a finger on her and those pigs had a very good time beating the shit out of me when in reality it was my ex that was the one getting crazy. That's when I learned to hate cops. It wasnt that they arrested me...I get that...they have to diffuse the situation and so someone has to go away....but they really worked me over and it wasn't me...it was her.

Can you blame me for having anger for them?

We all have experiences that we index to.

I am glad you are doing well.

 

[waltky]

One thing to remember is...

... cops are there to respond to any given situation...

... they don't get the option to choose the circumstances.

Not too many people would be willing to do a job...

... under those conditions.

God bless you and James and the cops that were there for you always!!!
