Since when did FR become a cop bashing site? Sure there are some bad cops out there but the majority are good. The same can be said of the US Military and conservatives in general. Do we condemn the whole based on the actions of a few? C’mon guys, that’s what Liberals do.
“the majority are good.”
I’m afraid not in Atlanta. He has a point, when we get to Atlanta cops, I’m sorry to say
Posting a news story isn’t “bashing”.
Nice try at deflecting the issue.
Maybe the majority of cops in Atlanta are good, but SO darn many of them are not!
Good post.
WE were not there and I for one will usually give the benefit of doubt to a cop. Least until a real unbiased investigation was preformed. Or there is a film of said cop doing an unjustified beat down.
The purpose of this site is to discuss corruption in government, among other things. Cops = government. Bad cops are very much fair game in this context.
Personally, I find the idea that "all men are created equal" to be incompatible with the idea that cops should be able to legally use deadly force under conditions that would get citizens charged (and usually convicted) with crimes.
If that makes me a "cop hater," so be it.
The way these threads usually go is that everyone speaks there pro or anti cop piece and then more facts come out a day later and the thread dies out. Repeat and rinse.
