Are you sure you're in the right place?
Wow what a thread. Personally I find such thread enjoyable and amusing but also frightening:
1. As relates to your post I am responding to, isn’t is amazing that there are always people shocked that at a website called FREErepublic, there are those of us who believe in freedom not a police state.
2. How dumb do you have to be to be an NC cop doing these kinds of things after the fiasco in Durham about the Duke lacrosse players. I would imagine cop testimony in NC these day might tend to get defendants off. Don’t these guys or at least their supervisors understand that you build up credibility very very very slowly case by case, but you can undermine the public’s belief in police credibility very quickly.
3. At least in this case no one was badly hurt or killed. Though sadly these clowns will probably get another badge. In fact in several of these cases that have shown up on FR, the perp resigns the current police position making complaints against them moot and takes another police position with a different agencey before they are fired at the first policing job.
4. It is shocking to read suggestions on this thread that it is ok to step on someone’s rights based on what they do for a living. That is much more a Dim view than one usually seen here.
