You are in effect, defending the actions of a rogue cop. -- You said "right or wrong cops should stick together" .
no you dolt,
Typical. You're losing control because you're losing the debate.
not right cops or wrong cops! cops stick together just because they stick together. not right or wrong in terms of backing up cops who break the laws.
Good. You've finally admitted cops who break the laws should not backed.
are you serious. have you never heard of figures of speech? if a family member of yours did something stupid or illegal, would you disown them? or would you perhaps condemn their behavior but offer support? that is called sticking together.
My family/co-workers/country right or wrong? -- Read about the Nurenberg principle, -- wherein illegal acts can not be condoned. Offering support for condemned behavior is constitutionally repugnant.
and no, dangerous situations have little do with with protecting the constitution. they have to do with getting you and your fellow cops home alive.
Pitiful rationalism. The rogue cop at issue was causing dangerous situations to occur.
i'm not talking about a car stop of a 20 year old punk kid. i'm talking about real danger.
I'm talking about the real dangers posed by overzealous cops to the 'punk citizens' they stop. Not to long ago we had a thread on FR about such a shootout, - and nobody won.
you seem to be thoroughly out of touch with how to interpret normal discourse. step away from the computer, go outside and talk to actual people.
I do. Most here are regular people who are making your 'discourse' look ridiculous.
however, if my brother commits a crime, he is still my brother and i'll support HIM through his ordeal, while NOT supporting his behavior.
who in their right mind would support illegal acts, other than criminals?
