[Honor above all]

That is incorrect. I see transsexual prostitution as an immoral criminal act. And again, though I have apparently used a poor analogy, I DO NOT see it as comparable to the religious persecution of the Jews. Please get that. I also find it acceptable to say “I don’t like what this guy is doing, but he didn’t deserve...” what I found offensive was, regardless of the transgression of the offender, opening the sentence with a disclaimer of how disgusting the person was served no purpose. It was merely an opportunity to smear a person whose life is clearly out of control anyway. Cheap shot. That was my point.

Barney never hurt anyone but hisself...RIP

What kind of response is that? Your opinion of the persons sexuality is irrelevant. This issue here is one of abuse of power. Your comment is akin to saying “As _____ (fill in the blank) as the Jews were, they didn't deserve to be gassed in ovens”. I'm not equating the two groups but am suggesting that your disclaimer is pathetic.

that is one of the most ridiculous equivocations I've ever seen here.....the anti-Semite card used to trump someone merely saying that person even though wretched looking did not deserve that beating. that sort of PC baiting is what is wrong with our country...we can't fix anything for fear of being called out like you just did

[wardaddy]

The brutality and thuggishness of too many cops today reflects the same in our culture and how we tolerate it for fear of being called some sort of insensitive slur.

A drooge populace will manifest a drooge police force.

Folks used to be more polite and so were the police.

I haven't had a ticket or accident in over a decade

then we need to get you a new truck filo...lol...nice defense of your position

love the way you deftly swatted the race card to the floor when tossed yer way....isn't it great how many freepers today are PC race baiters....they had to come back after their anti-freeper sites imploded

You have not only not provided exhaustive proof, you have provided no proof. On top of that you are now a psychic because you claim to know what is in my heart. There is clearly no point in continuing this discussion.

Au contraire, I have provided proof, although I'd be the first to admit that it's nowhere near exhaustive. In fact, I'm pretty sure I admitted that above.

As for my psychic abilities, I believe I suggested what may be in your heart. I clearly worded it as a guess.

Meanwhile you have somehow determined my educational background, driving record and any number of other things and attempted to use those to bolster your assault on my position - with no success.

You are right, however, that there is no point in continuing this discussion. Your position is untenable and really can't be supported by the available evidence which is why, I guess, you haven't presented any.

Meanwhile the police are out there even now brutalizing the general populace in the name of "law and order" while being protected by other cops, the judicial system and apologists just like you.

Ain't it grand.

You clearly have me confused with someone else. I was never involved in any of the race discussions - in this thread or elsewhere - and I haven't left FR since I joined.

I encourage you to scroll back and read what I've actually written here for yourself. Then, hopefully, you can retract your accusation.

But you're right about the truck. She got wrecked in '93 and I haven't replaced her. I miss that old girl. :(

I was talking about freepers who were baiting you, not you.

I applaued what you wrote, I should have been more precise.

my bad

My father is a retired 27-year Deputy. He's still the County range master and does all the re-qual courses.

He's glad he got out when he did. There's a whole 'nuther breed manning the streets. Not in a good way either.

D'oh. I misread you. That was my bad.

Sorry, and thanks. :)

Much like the rest of the population and various occupations, people in the law enforcement profession are no different.

90% work hard and are just trying to earn an honest living and serve their fellow man. 8% don’t care one way or the other.

Then there are the 2% of very sick individuals with badges who are trying to make up for something lacking who got into “law enforcement” just so they can beat the living snot out of people and not be arrested. They can even shoot people and not face charges.

They can just lie and say it was justified.

That actually sounds like a great job to me. I’m in the wrong line of work.

Hell, I’ll do it for free!!!!!

Any police dept. who wants my services please send me a FReepmail.

I think we understand each other now. I understand that other people may consider the comment a cheap shot. And you understand the analogy was not quite right. Thanks for the last reply.
