I have had a lot of troubling discussions on police threads too. I am basically very pro-law-enforcement - but I also hold them to a very high standard where search and seizure are concerned. So I have ended up on threads where I am arguing with both the sides of the issue, but indeed the outright cop haters bother me the most.
Good idea to get out of it. Hold to it now! - It is the weekend, and a time for much merriment and good cheer!
Does this mean that it's too late to tell you about Ernie Keebler? I ran "Ernie Keebler" through the Middle-Earth name thing and he came up....Evil Shirrif!
I was hoping it would translate into "Elf who bakes cookies in a hollow tree" but no such luck!
I agree, see you folks sometime late tomorrow. I agree that police can go too far, but this does not seem to be the case on that thread, many there have a visceral hate for anyone who is part of the judicial system, except for defense attorneys.
