The only reason I posted at all was to bring out all the cop haters ... and they came out in abundance. LOL!
What? Because someone disagrees with you and can see that a kid with Downs Syndrome and wearing a Colostomy bag should not be beaten down and his bag ripped off?
Seeing and understanding that somehow in your mind makes me or any of these other folks cop haters?
What I hate is when innocent American citizens, who are harming no one fall victim to ANYON who is a thug and willing to violate their rights. I do not care if the thug is a thief, a street thug, or a police officer or politician.
Get a grip man. The kid was not arrested. Let me repeat, he was not charged with ANYTHING, or arrested.
He just got a beating for his trouble.
If you really worked in law enforcement...and have any feeling for the constitution of this nation and the rights of its citizens, this should make you so sick to your stomach that you want to puke.
As it should any American, from whatever walk of life.
I would hope you would simply step back, consider it...and apologize for taking the wrong side in this. There is no dishonor, or anything wrong with that.
And then for you to say that all you were trying to do was bring out all the cop haters. What are you a little child? Grow up! Am sure even thats to late for you.
I've heard plenty of that bullcrap before.
Here is how it goes...
Whenever someone defends the cops some drooling idiot calls them a "bootlicker."
Whenever someone condemns the actions of a cop some drooling idiot calls them a "cop hater."
No cop haters came out.
Just constitution followers and believers in the bill of rights.
Not that you understand those things evidently.
Your words and your attitude on this thread are possibly the stupidest I’ve ever read on Free Republic.
I don’t believe you have any more of a background in Law Enforcement than than me and I spent four years as a Sheriff Explorer.
Rode patrol, did the whole family fights things, gang bangers arrested, drunks, rapes, worked in three different jails(required after every three ride alongs), worked in the Bailiff, transport, search and seizure, security for various events including that nut case Huey Newton of the the Black Panthers, spent summers with DEA, FBI and Mutual Aid from neighboring counties, search and rescue and even pulled my Mom over one night as she was coming home from work.
I did everything you see on the show COPS and more.
I don’t believe you are or were LEO and if you were, you left under estranged circumstances.
There is no way you can read this story and come to the conclusion the LE was in the right.
Further, Google this ass hat and you learn he has a history demonstrating he is not one bit suited for Law Enforcement.
I don’t think with what I’ve learned Paul Blartt would serve with him....
Ever wonder why some u of us don't care for cops? People like YOU!
“The only reason I posted at all was to bring out all the cop haters ... and they came out in abundance. LOL!”
So what you are saying is that your whole purpose here is to troll.
What a putz.
IOW you're Trolling huh? I've ran into Cops and interacted with more than my share. Most were professional and had some common sense. I've met others who should never have been allowed to wear a badge including a close family member who's abuses set off one of the largest manhunts in my state. He ran a penal farm and was warden. His hobby? Lining up prisioners and beating them. How do I know this? His daughter as a child saw him do this. His daughter is my wife.
I also have an uncle who was a cop. His personality didn't change when the belt and badge went on. I also knew a police chief a fine man loved & rspected by the community. He too did his job professionally. But I'll call for the badge of a cop any cop who thinks their badge allows them to violate others rights.
Then you are a troll, and should be banned from or leave Free Republic.
Write an opus about all us “cop haters” (that is, defenders of the US Constitution) and leave. It will save the admin moderator and Jim Robinson the trouble of your banning.
