Do You see the Uniform or the Person (66)
whitepaws: Quite often i come across a checkpoint by the Cops and begrudginly i comply with showing a licence or what ever...I drive off mumbling about being delayed.
recently i was awarded 2 points for doing 60kmh in a 50kmh zone and again i look at the cops grudgingly..
walking around international airports i look at armed men/women but see a uniform not a person and think a good slap would disarm them and then i could really light the place up Is there really a need for this.
But when your out and meet these people, their normally decent people just doing a thankless task...

Considering where I live I not only see the person but I know the person.

MountJoy
whitepaws: MountJoy
Rural area. We have one cop.... sometimes!
I don't like the looks of that second pic. She looks like one of them 'pegging' fans. Ouch!
facetowardsfront: Funny that because the mojority of Garda in Ireland are men. There wouldn't be a connection, would there?
A connection with men? What are you on about? You need medication. I am glad to see you took down your ghostbusters pic anyway.
My brother is a guard and my uncles used to be.....and I was seeing a soldier a few yrs back. SO I see the person not the uniform.
I see the day to days lives they have. I see my own brother juggle having young kids and a mortgage and all the same issues and problems everyone else has in their lives. And since my mother was a teacher for 40yrs I also see the thankless task that is too.
Yes we judge people in a instance when we first meet them......but as I said in a comment earlier today.....its up to us whether or not we allow ourselves to open up to changing from those first impressions.

I suppose its all about personal experience and the way we percieve people. As I said before I have no time for them. They think the law does not apply to them and it is one law for them and one for us. I have not met one that is nice or helpfull. Even when I have to get something stamped in the Station they always act like they are doing you a favour and not their job.

Perhaps it's how you approach the task. Going in there all hot-headed wont necessarily get you a wine and roses reception.

I dont go in hot headed. Why would I? I only need to get passport pics stamped or report my driving licence lost /stolen. I go in perfectly normal.
They are the ones who then have the attitude that you are making them do some work and they act like they are doing you a favour.

The last time I was getting passport forms signed, for my son, the Garda couldn't have been nicer. I had to go with my ex in tow (scary at the best of times) and the Garda picked up on my mood/body language. He rang me about 20 minutes later to ask if I was safe and if I needed a car around. Above and beyond the call of duty.They are the ones who then have the attitude that you are making them do some work and they act like they are doing you a favour.

He should have been calling your ex to see if he had a frying pan stuck in the back of his head
So what was this 'body language' that made a man in uniform go the extra few inches? Can you post a vid?
guard lives four doors down from me,ban garda next door,two ban garda across the way and a retired met officer down the road!!!!!!!!!!

Pale, pasty, and probably sweating with nerves... not a good pic!
