Have you ever watched one of the officers on the tv show Cops try to unload a suspects weapon ? One evening I saw a officer trying to unload a single action revolver.All the bullets wound up on the ground.Tonight one was taking bullets out of a AR15 magazine, and exclaims with excitement in his voice that they are deadly hollow points.At one point a officer called the AR15 a machinegun. Duh!

    Why on every Cops TV show the first words out of the officers mouth is do you have any weapons or drugs in the car? They ask the same thing when they want to enter someones home.Is this the standard greetings officers use nowadays? And why are all the people they have on the show look like hillbillys or the scum of the earth? Don't they ever stop white coller types driving expense cars or entering a home in a exclusive neighborhood? For once I would like to see them drag a Kennedy out of their car or some big Holleyweird type.I am so sick of this crap.Ya wanna step out of the car Babs so we can search you and your car for weapons and drugs.And justice for all.

    Unfortunately a lot of officers these days have never held a weapon until they attend their respective academies and most of their knowledge before hand comes from television and movies.

    I saw it earlier this evening, looked like a scene from Jerry Springer and the meth head trailer park folks beating on female bar patrons and waving an AR-15 at the bars bouncer. It was comical! [:D]

    Tonight one was taking bullets out of a AR15 magazine,Either they were disassembling ammunition or you just pulled a big ol' * while hoo-rahing other's lack of knowledge and use of incorrect terminology. [:D]

    I watched that same episode. The cop said the Bushmaster was "just like his" and called it an "automatic rifle", which it wasn't, and he called the ammo "hollow points", which they weren't.

    I think you find the lack of firearms knowledge more with bigger city cops. They have not been around firearms growing up sadly.

    My Fire Department helped the Cops remove LOTS of guns and THOUSANDS of rounds of ammo from a house that the owner was being arrested for pointing an unloaded shotgun at tree cutters that where removing some trees for the power company in his yard. They didn't want to leave the stuff in the house without anyone going to be living there for sometime. They where going to be trying to have him committed. His family got all of the stuff back after the serial numbers where check, everything came back OK.

    We formed a line and just passed everything out to be photographed and loaded in a truck and trailer, we used blankets to protect them. I ended up at the end of the line helping the ATF guy clear them and the City detective take pictures. Out of a few hundred guns I could not clear 2.

    I was drooling over some of them and the CASES of .223 and .308.

    My family was watching cops one night and one of the calls they went on was a complaint about a bird. I noticed a guy talking to one of the cops and realized he was a former neighbor in Texas when my wife and I lived there, funny as hell!!

    I feel sorry for some of the perps on COPS. They show some of them stopping people for doing 5 miles over the limit just to get on TV. A boring night will not get these guys on the tube, so they need to make things as dramatic as possible.
