Dennis said:What? Are you kidding me? Were you even alive during that period? Heaven help you if you were a woman or a minority before the 60's. Let's look back before the 50's:
1) Organized crime was empowered through Prohibition. More and more people went to crime because Congress wanted to legislate morality. Very unpopular laws were passed in the name of making Americans more "Christian."
2) Empowering and hiring of family members instead of qualified and trained people in law enforcement was common. You'd be stuck with a officer of the likes of Barney instead of Andy Griffith, and there wasn't a thing you could do because he was family to the police in the area.
3) Education wasn't important to the field of law enforcement. Investigating crimes? Just point at someone and arrest them. Form a posse and deputize people and they'll hunt down people for you. It was only later in the 20th century when a movement started to have policemen/women hired because of their smarts, not their brawn.
Be careful wishing for the "days gone by." Things really are NOT better in the old days.
I did not live through these times. I have listened to the policemen stories of those times from policemen that lived through those times themselves. You misunderstood my statement and went into an angry tirade. Criminals that really commited crimes did not get off like they do today. The police could use excessive force on violent criminals without fear of being sued. Alochol was a big problem much like crack is today. You see the pastors preaching against crack being smoked or being sold. It was the same level of abuse in alochol that prompted the Prohibition and naturally, criminals took advantage of that and the police had to combat the problem of violent alocholic addicts ( The Prohibition wants you to believe the social drinkers were arrested on the tv mass media. Real policemen that lived through that time went after the violent alocholic addicts, not the social drinkers. ) The generation of police to police families was there because it was a good job and not because of police abuse or slavery. It simply was a good job the way it was at that time also police technology was not really there and policemen became very good at studying the human behavior and usually , not always but usually could tell when someone was telling the truth or not. Policemen are human like back then and policemen are human today. You say that police were not trained or had education. You are wrong right there. Education and training was very important back then like they are today !!!! My God look at the old police manuals found on the internet and back then at that time , the training was not as extreme as we train today. It was a natural process of training and education that the police went through that got us where we are today. You better realize that today the criminals are attempting to control the police through politics and laws, back then criminals could not vote and today criminals can vote from prison and that is scary and not good at all, I am thinking ................... ( National security, gun control , anti-crime laws turned down etc) because of those criminals who can vote thanks to the corrupt politicans. Even back then politicans would have prison guards shoot a criminal for even thinking he could vote from his prison cell. Nobody in America would have allowed that to happen having a criminal vote from a prison cell !!! It was common-sense so go figure and It was much better for the police and may not have been for a Deaf man but at least the police knew when a Deaf man was innocent or guilty. They just used commonsense. Yes the police may have made mistakes but they had commonsense. Now it is all scientific data but still common sense and scientific data should go hand in hand. That is what the liberal politicans are trying to seperate forensic science from. The police aren't having any of it.The old days back then had better moral values and American society was not as violent as it was until after about 1955. That is when all the trouble began everybody who lived through that time I asked when did that year become a problem or troublesome they say alittle right after 1955.

you need a girl!
and those people you got off in court due to speeding tickets and agrued over racial profiling in another thread. The judge will look through their records when they are arrested again and check with sealed or tossed out police rap sheets etc. Because that person was caught doing something wrong okay then the judge is gonna throw the book at that person then he is sitting here in jail then he will realize you were not a real friend to him at all. You just delayed and caused him more trouble at a later date, that is if he was ever caught and arrested again and if you got arrested again and brought up before the judge and he sees who you are and what you did from before ( remember judges do talk to another judges ) then a very hard sentence would be passed down that makes your knees go under from you with a jaw dropped mouth and a righteous dose of fear of going to the big house a.k.a the zoo and you would resist as the prison guards come to escort you out of the courtroom. Nobody in their right mind wants to be in the big house.
Mind your manners and say you're sorry. I love a good laugh but seriously, Heath, knock it off...email me.
