I rise today in support of the NYPD

And I don't take kindly to people brutalizing other people in front of me, whether they're wearing magic blue costumes, or not.

Oh? So what did you do the last time it happened in front of you when the brutalizer was wearing a blue magic suit?

I challenged what they were doing.

I didn't lick their boots in slavish adoration.

BTW - speaking of "subverting the innocent-til-proven-guilty narrative from playing out" - I notice that you and a number of other boot leather fetishists are OK with Garner getting executed by vigilante cops because of "previous failures of their officers to cause him to cease and desist from persisting in undercutting their offerings of lawfully taxed products."

Guess the innocent-til-proven-guilty narrative didn't play out there, did it? But it's all good, because a magic PLAINSCLOTHES-SUITED punk suckerchoked Garner.

And a final thought:

Earlier, I responded to your post of "...and the outcomes were all supported by Eric's fellow citizens..." by quoting the Korean owner of Bay Beauty, Rodney Lee, where #EricGarner died: "This isn't about race; It's about cop abuse & power"

You didn't respond to that, because it didn't fit your Police State Loving narrative.

Another shop owner next door weighed in:

Katie McCarthy, owner of Book Cafe, #Ferguson and #EricGarner cases show "We have a long way to go in America."

I presume she's talking about Garner getting suckerchoked, not about restricting loosies with vigilante jackboot tactics... LOL! :)

That is evading the question. OK, find me a group of people working at any job where no mistakes are made, where there are no bad actors, and no crimes are committed. Police are human and you find the same faults among them that you do in all humans. Add to that the stress of the job, and I’m surprised we can get people to do the job at all.
