I invite others to offer what they've learned about the human spirit from that show

After first, I'll admit, I loved seeing the perps get tased, or seeing the canines turned loose on them. Now I watch though, and I almost feel sorry for some of them. Yes, they made bad decisions along the way--yes, they sought the "easy way out," either through making money illicitly, or chose to escape reality by getting involved with drugs.

But I look at these people, grown men and women, still acting like little children. They don't take responsibility for their actions:

I don't know how that 10-pound bag of weed got in my car, officer!

Officer: "Why did you give them a ride if you knew they were carrying drugs on their person?"

Perp: I don't even know that person...they just asked me for a ride across town!

Officer: "Why are there bags of meth in your center console?"

Perp: I lent my car to someone, and they must've put it there!"

Officer: "But why are their bags of meth in your pants?"

Perp: I don't even know, I didn't put them there!"

It's the same theme, over and over again. Adults whose lives are subject to random chance and happenstance; they're never the cause, always the victim.

They don’t take responsibility for their actions because they’re sociopaths; those who do unto others things that they would not tolerate having done to them.

I was living with a woman who had her grown son move in with us 2 years ago — and I left when he was taken away in handcuffs for the 4th time. He was clinically diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder — i.e. a flaming @sshole.

He had no conscience, no empathy and neither the capacity to take responsibility for his own behavior nor a willingness to accept consequences. Ever.

This is why I say Michael Brown was a sociopath. When the store clerk followed him and was saying something to him after he snatched merchandise right in front of him, he was outraged that someone would dare to even suggest limitations/consequences.

And then soon afterward, he got himself killed — likely for the same reason.

So I don’t share a shred of your sympathy; I am at war with the @ssholes of the world, in fact. Not enough of them are being Tazed or shot. And the ones who toss flowers in the street for such people are even bigger @ssholes.
