I know you all smoke pot because I've just seen Aaron King, an Iowa police officer, say it is so. The evidence emerged from King being filmed with a cell phone during a routine traffic stop.
It all started innocently enough. King apparently stopped the car because its headlights were not turned on.

Funny how you try to play.
You have nothing intellectual.
Nothing but attempts to play on emotion, as all liberals do and leftists do.
You are the same as those Ferguson protestors, in mind and spirit.
Not worth much, but persistent in your destructive sociopathic tendencies.
Finn, you are doing the classic cop activity of treating opinion like fact. What has you so sure this guy was stoning?
” King persisted by suggesting that
because Beckwith wouldn’t tell him if
he’d smoked pot before, that was a
“yes” to him. This is an interesting
interpretation of innocent until proven
guilty, or not offering self-incriminating
commentary.”
Maybe he just understands his dignity was under attack. And flat out, he doesn’t owe that cop an answer. Not to mention that cop had already made up his mind, without evidence.
I am the same. My life is clean. But I don’t just share it because some bullu wants to demand an accounting of me. We have a sense of our own dignity, just like any cop.
I don’t really care if he was stoning.
The point is this is trivial and nothing but the same leftist instigators try to drum up fear and hatred of police.
In other words this is propaganda baloney.
It’s not very good propaganda because all I had to do was watch the video to see there is no problem anywhere.
These threads amount to huge cries of wolf.
A cop showing a bad attitude is NEVER trivial. It is the core of his character. And above all, a cop should have a good character and a sense of professional conduct.
I don’t get why so many think we should happily subject ourselves to abusive cops. Why should I happily let a cop talk down to me?
You are probably not very old, are you?
I don’t mean that as a put down.
38, why?
So not so young.
I asked because your concern about being disrespected by cops is something all young people feel but get over with age and wisdom.
I’m 54 now, and can’t quite remember when my adolescent animosity to cops as authority figures went away.
It’s never really ever goes away and I still don’t like seeing cops, makes me uncomfortable.
Why would, or should, a person get over expecting respectful and professional behavior from cops? My dignity means something to me. If it means nothing to the cop, I have no intentions of shrugging that off.
In my world, I am expected to behave correctly. I see no reason to expect less of a cop.
Of course Cops should behave correctly n
This is not an example of misbehavior.
To think otherwise is being stuck in the adolescent trap of being dissed or disrespected and feeling resentment over it.
