Okay, okay, you win.

We can't control Obama so we can't control local cops.

We are free to hate them all.

Only Al Sharpton can save us.

Logic and analogy usually does.

We can't control Obama so we can't control local cops.

Oh, see? I called it. I predicted you wouldn't 'get it', and sure enough you didn't.

I demonstrated (apparently effectively) that your dismissal of anyone's concerns about police was nearly impossible to implement (as are my counters about Obama), yet somehow you smugly assumed it was a winning dismissal.

It is not. People have valid concerns about a rapidly-militarizing, detached-from-the-public, overly aggressive and overreaching police, and your casual dismissal of those concerns ("Go fix it") is no more realistic than my retort of "Go fix Obama".

I predict you still will not 'get it'.

We are free to hate them all.

No ma'am. We are free to disparage, however, those police that disregard the Constitution. We are free to criticize those police who view all citizens as 'perps that have not yet been caught'. We are free to be concerned about police that show up in military gear, with military personal equipment and military tactics, for a police job. We are free to be upset about those police who shoot dogs without justification and nearly without provocation. We are free to become enraged at police who, instead of serving a simple warrant, exercise 'dynamic entry' and SWAT tactics when such actions are clearly not justified.

Also, we are free to be pleased with those cops who do not do any of the above. We are free to mourn good cops who are gunned down by criminals.

See, you exhibit all the signs of a binary thinker. Either we must love all police, or we must hate all police, seems to be your view. I do not share that view.

Again: I predict you still will not 'get it'.
