How bout if a cop is proved to manufacture evidence he should serve the term his victim was looking at...same of corrupted DA’s

[marktwain]

And no. I’ve never been in trouble w/ the law and don’t expect to...I’ve just got a keen eye for dead weight!

Police have a significant impact in reducing crime. It is considerably greater than the impact of armed citizens(John Lott). Police should be there to back up the citizenry and to investigate crimes. That is what they do, for the most part.

A famous quote about police work is 99.9% boredom punctuated with .1% sheer terror!

What the tape doesn't show is striking: At no point ... did the brothers appear to be involved in a drug deal with anyone else. Adding insult to injury, an outside camera taped the undercovers literally dancing down the street.

its amazing the amount of ignorance that can be displayed in just one post.

Just remember that in this case the plainiff’s “Filthy lawyer” as you choose to call him...is white as snow compared to the Judges and district attourneys involved here.

When you have a plague infested sewage pit of corrupt lawyers, you have to bring another in from outside to disinfect,

Now can we end the War on Drugs?

We don't have one, and have not had one since the early 70s.

Fighting drugs like a war would be eminently winable, were it practiced.

Part of doint it would include cosing the borders. When you can show that was done, you can claim there is a war on drugs.

No reason to end something that doesn't exist.

Amen. Pres--ent Ubama should contemplate the utter failure waging a legal battle against drugs has proven to be before he institutes a legal battle against terrorism.

Alas, obviously it's too late for that.

If so many cops weren’t scub bags, the tax payer wouldn’t have to pay for the constitutional violations committed by cops.

If cities and other governments wouldn’t defend these cop criminals, the tax payers wouldn’t be one the hook nearly as often. If the city fired these cops and prosecuted them at the outset, the city likely wouldn’t be liable; and for a lot less money if they were.

I'm thinking that there is a rapidly-expanding market for something that can video one's every moment and have it instantly uploaded to a secure site for future use.

It may be the only way to fight the largest, best financed, best equipped, best supported street gang in America (the cops).

I’ll bet your son is a fine honest man who view his job as that of a servant to the public and not an overlord to them.

I have absolutely no problem with paying for the police to be sitting around bored, same with the Fire Department. In fact, that is exactly my preference. However, I just wish that the Police were as willing to sit around bored as the Firemen are.....
