So, fuck off, maggot and move along. - Officer Friendly
Even though being a cop has never been safer, is not in the top ten of most dangerous jobs, and cops killed in 2013 is at a historic low.
Nope, they make everything possible, even Christmas, and they have a tough job, so, if you get treated like shit by a cop, STFU and take it, Mundane, and be happy you didn't get shot.
Suspect killed in shootout with Grand Prairie police was a 16-year-old Mansfield boy

Two Grand Prairie police officers were wounded in a Christmas Day shootout with a man who led authorities on a 10-hour manhunt near Joe Pool Lake.
The suspect was also shot and died in surgery Wednesday evening, said police spokesman Mark Beseda.
The injured officers, whose names had not been released, were both reported to be in good condition. They were released from Methodist Dallas Medical Center Wednesday night with wounds to their “outer extremities” that authorities said never appeared to be life-threatening. The officers are 16 and seven year veterans of the police department.
The suspect, who was identified only as a 16-year-old boy from Mansfield because of his age, was taken by helicopter to the trauma center at Parkland Hospital in Dallas. Authorities didn’t release details of his injuries.
The manhunt started before daybreak after an officer attempted to pull the man over for what was expected to be a routine traffic stop on North Camino Lagos, a residential street less than half a mile from the lake, near North Grand Peninsula Drive and England Parkway.
The suspect led the officer on a brief chase that ended in the middle of an open field, where the suspect abandoned the car he was driving and opened fire. The officer shot back, but neither man was wounded and the suspect escaped into a densely wooded area. It’s unclear what caused the man to flee.
That prompted a search that lasted into the early afternoon as Grand Prairie police were joined by officers from Arlington and Mansfield. SWAT teams hacked through trees and brush while a Department of Public Safety helicopter hovered overhead.
Authorities said it was fortunate the suspect fled to a secluded spot rather than nearby residential areas. But people in the Mira Lagos and Grand Peninsula neighborhoods were still advised to stay indoors during the search.
About 2 p.m., police tracked the suspect to near East Seeton Road, roughly a mile and a half from where the chase started. There the man engaged in another shootout that injured two officers before authorities surrounded him and he was shot.
The mayor said the situation should remind people of the dangerous work police do.
“We take what our officers do for granted,” Jensen said. “We get angry at our officers when they pull us over because they are a little gruff, or they aren’t really pleasant. Folks need to realize that they put themselves at danger.
“They don’t know what a routine traffic stop is going to do. So don’t call me and complain about an officer not being very pleasant.”
Jensen said he visited the hospital room of one of the wounded officers soon after the shooting and found him to be in good spirits. The officer had been shot in the foot and the bullet had exited cleanly, he said.
“He is doing great,” Jensen said. “He’ll be just fine.”
