“I just wish everyone be as perfect as you.”

Doesn’t take much to be more perfect than a cop. The average hood rat probably has more morals than most cops. Though that isn’t hard.

Now, did you actually have a counter to the FACTS I pointed out? Or you just want to insult comments you don’t like?

He was a big kid and from witnesses it appears that the officer bit off more than he could chew by grabbing his throat and that’s when the officer pulled his gun for some extra help.

...hundreds of thousands of people you never met and who risk their lives to keep you and your family safe.

I laugh. Right in your face, copper.

You are so brave from behind your computer.

You and I both know you are a coward in real life.

When the police were asked if the officer had any medical attention the department answered "NO Comment".

If he were bruised then he would have had medical treatment.

Can’t they teach young journalism students how to cover a story without an angle to play? Is that asking too much?

When you take on a cop getting shot is a risk you take.

Done it more than once myself except I didn’t get shot.

How about calling it a Tony Stewart moment.

Unless you can get into either persons head (cop, teenager, race car driver) nothing will ever be a clear and cut case.

I don’t trust cops and I don’t trust any one who voted for 0bama.

As for race car drivers....I really don’t care.

Typical cop mentality...thinking you know what you just couldn’t. Did jumping to unwarranted conclusions get you the title of “detective”?

Do you want to choke me and shoot me now?

Wow. That took an ugly turn, didn’t it? What’s next? Dookie head?

You know very well that police have no duty to protect the citizens. Law enFORCEment is the name of the game.

Without signing on as a cop hater, this looks like a bad shoot.

At first glance looks like trouble for the officer (per video)

There are, of course, many good police officers. And I admire your tenacity in defending them.

But something is seriously wrong with law enforcement today. This is a no-nonsense conservative site. One would expect most folks here to law-and-order types, and so be pro-police.

But most here are not now pro-police. That should be a wake-up call. I must tell you that I originally had my first sentence in this post read “Most police officers are good people.” But I just don't believe that anymore. So I changed my first sentence to the one above.

Look, it's one of two things. Either most of LE has changed for the worse, or the good LE folks have lost the PR war. Either way, LE must get its act together. Don't be like Tsar Nickolas II:

British embassador: You must regain the trust of your people.
Nickolas II: It's the people who must regain my trust.

Well, we all know what happened to the Tsar.

It sure did. Imagine how it manifests itself on the street.

Something’s missing here. Jesse Jackson is late to this show. Where is Obama talking about Brown being his kid? Eric Holder? They’re holding back for some reason, and it makes me uneasy.


Could the cop be black?
