“No, it shows that I have a realistic bias.”

Nope. That would take demonstrative evidence for your claims. You have presented none.

“When I can cite as many incidents as I can, as many cover ups as I can and so on then I have a very real reason for my conclusions.”

Nope. The cases you could site - but haven’t - don’t amount to a hill of beans in terms of the total number of officers or in regard to this particular officer.

“As for the evidence, I have presented it. It’s just that you and people like you think it’s perfectly okay for cops to kill people without cause.”

No, actually we don’t think that at all. But your insistence that that is what we believe - despite all evidence and common sense to the contrary - is indicative of your lack of an argument and your bigotry. You have NOTHING so you just make stuff up instead.

Hey...come to think of it I hate government bureaucrats, democratic congressmen, tow truck drivers, meter maids, porn store owners, used car salesmen, and plaintiff's attorneys. According to your bizarre definition that would make me a "bigot" against those chosen professions.

Back in the real world though they are professions and nothing more. And people are free to like/dislike them based on the jobs they do and how well they perform them. If cops do something that make people dislike them, then they have only themselves to blame just like any other profession with a reputation for sleaze.

The only claim under debate here is whether or not Mehserle was justified in pulling a weapon on an immobilized, defenseless man.

No reasonable person can say he was.

The closest the boot-licker clowns get is to misrepresent what Grant was really doing as demonstrated clearly by the numerous videos.

My evidence is the videos and the fact that Grant, when shot, was under the full control of the police. No taser was needed. No gun was needed.

The only reason Mehserle pulled one was because he was pissed off and wanted to hurt Grant. In doing so he demonstrated a clear disregard for human life and, in the end, took one.

Murder 2.

Case closed.

The end.

Actually they do when you count the orders of magnitude more cases that never make the papers and the associated cover-ups and lesser crimes committed by virtually every cop on the force.

I'm not saying that all cops are always bad, I am saying that almost all cops are bad frequently enough to make me question (and hate) the whole profession.

Sometimes the bad is shooting an unarmed man. Sometimes it's just fixing a ticket for a buddy, popping a "perp" a few extra times or driving drunk because you know your buddies have your back.
