The Philadelphia Story: When the Cops are Crooks
A Different Drummer ^ | 3 May 2002 | Nicholas Stix

Posted on 05/02/2002 9:50:53 AM PDT by mrustow

Article details the race-based corruption of the Philadelphia Police Department, where incompetent and even dangerous candidates are hired, based on the color of their skin, and who as police officers go on to shoot children, engineer anthrax hoaxes, and otherwise engage in criminal acts.

Gee, Harry. If you'd looked, you'd see that I posted this article FIRST! So, why aren't you trying to get the LATER post pulled?!

That'll teach me, for complimenting your post. (Is that why you're trying to get this post pulled? The shock of someone saying something nice to you? Are you used to only getting abuse?)

As my Momma always says, no good deed goes unpunished.

There obviously needs to be higher standards in law enforcement and in education.
A lot of blame must rest with the hiring, training and management.

oops. no offense intended. regardless, dupe posts don't get deleted anymore, just locked down. The other thread had more comments, fewer pings, and had the article at the top - much easier on the eyes.

if i learned anything around here, it's not to fall in love with my own posts.

Here you go, people. Kneel down and worship your idol. He's been hating cops for a lot longer than you have, and, frankly, he's more creative about it than you losers are. Enjoy!

I will bet dollars to doughnuts that this idiot officer(?)didn't know that there's no magazine disconnector on a Glock.Learning the function of your weapon is too difficult nowadays.When I first started out,it was optional to carry single action automatics on my job-I did so for years.Later on they were banned because the bright young people we were getting just couldn't be trusted to carry one without being a menace.If this woman had been White,Sharpton would have already incited a riot.Thank God the child wasn't more seriously injured or killed.Calling this woman a retard would be an insult to mentally retarded citizens.I own a Browning Hi-Power and a Colt Officer's Model-both seem remarkably similar except the Browning won't fire with the magazine out and the Colt will;S&W autos won't fire with the magazine out,but Sig-Sauers will-if this is all too difficult to learn,don't take a job where carrying a firearm is a requirement.

[sighs] I hate when that happens. [shrugs] It was just a picture of Charlie Manson. Sorry. It's harder to find a picture of him than you might think... Sorry again for the tease. The Web isn't what it used to be for free pictures...

Thanks for the flag.

I'm all for rooting bad cops out regardless of race and I don't think hiring standards should be lowered because of race. Make everyone meet the same reasonable standards. It's really that simple.

"In a world of defined-down standards, I suppose we should be satisfied that the shooting wasn't deliberate, and that there were no fatalities."

Since the writer strikes me as someone trying very hard to dance around the truth of the matter?
Permit me to cut right to the chase, & translate this statement the way I'd like to have read it, OK?

Ol' Nick Stix makes the statement, "In a world of defined-down standards"...

Actually says;
"They'll hang a badge on just about anyone whether they're qualified & competent or not simply to satisfy a Liberally-inspired utopian head-count requirement; so, given the maniacs sporting badges, how is it we're not seeing a hell of a lot more of this kind of screw-up?"

For me?
The question then becomes, "Why didn't Nick Stix simply come out & say that?"
After all, isn't that really what everyone's honestly thinking?

Liberal PC double-speak is going to continue to get us into some seriously woeful trouble; &, it really isn't going to get any better left to its own devise, either.

...but there's always hope; because, it's never too late to change.

Socialist/leftist affirmative action combined with Political Correctness can injury us or kill us!
