And that’s what I said. Wat part of this are you missing?

“Don’t let your functional illiteracy be my fault.”

I’m clearly NOT the one who is illiterate around here.

“Q:How can you tell a cop is lying?
A:He’s on the witness stand.”

Q: How can you tell when someone is bigoted against the police?
A: When he assumes that all cops lie on the witness stand - especially when other witnesses and video actually back-up their testimony and a jury agrees with them.

“If the cops expected a taser they would have gotten out of the way.”

Not necesarily when holding a man down.

I'm not missing anything. You are missing the idiocy of pointing something this obvious out as if it has an impact on my argument.

I beg to differ.

The concept of bigotry assumes that there isn't a correlation. If a statement is true it can't be bigoted.

And guess what, the video does not back up what you are saying. At the time Grant was shot he was under the full control of two other officers. That is 100% clear from each of the numerous videos available.

But that's okay to cops and boot-lickers. If, at sometime in the recent or distant past, a person might have resisted arrest, might have committed a crime or might even consider doing so at some point then they deserve to be shot in the back.

And people wonder why I hate cops.

Drop the PC mongering. You're sounding like Eric Holder. Cops are not a race, religion, ethnicity, or other "protected class" against which one may be "bigoted."

Cops are regular human beings who choose to work in a particular profession and nothing more. They work in that profession voluntarily, fully knowing both the risks (which are often severely overstated) and the benefits (which are usually comparable to the cushiest positions at the highest levels of the federal bureaucracy). They also do so knowing fully that their line of work is in the public sector and funded at public expense, and as such it is constantly subject to citizen scrutiny for any reason whatsoever by right whether that scrutiny is welcome by the cops or not.

To whine about a supposed "bigotry" against cops is therefore both inappropriate and factually unsustainable. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
