What I don't get is how annal retentive in crying foul cops or protesting the war on drugs that you take the time to look me up months later to say, "see I told you so."

Translation: I hate being VERY wrong and being called on it.

“It could still unfold in unpredictable ways as liars are involved.”

You’re right. It’s difficult to tell what BS story the cops will come up with next.

“Why is it that when ordinary people commit robbery and someone is killed they’re charged with Murder One, but when cops do it they aren’t?”

Because,My man, the law only applies to little people.

And another thing, you can bet that this was not their first rodeo.

Some people are just addicted to licking jackboot leather.

What the jackboot lickers fail to understant is that the JBTs have less respect for them than they do us.
And Archy it is always good reading one of your posts.

I remember all the Barney Fifes badmouthing the old lady...trying to shame us because we just didn’t have sufficient empathy for cops.

I used to believe that drug criminilization was the lesser of two evils. After reading these Keystone Kops stories I've changed my mind. Trusting Police is not an option.

That stinks.

If you disagree, just avoid calling a cop next time you are assualted or need help. Just handle it yourself...

You didn't mention that cops generally support disarming citizens...or that the Supreme Court has held that cops have no affirmative duty to protect anyone.

It turns out they were bad cops and they need to be punished. The two convicted will go to jail for 10 and 12 years respectively. The third who is charged with far less serious crimes, false official statments, etc, is awaiting trial after pleading not guilty.

Ah, the moral equivalent of the "moderate muslim." You just don't get it. It isn't that most cops are bad, just a handful here and there. But when you defend them until the absurdly indefensible end then promote light sentences for horrific betrayals of trust, you do more harm to the cops than those who think they are all bad.

You demonstrate that you don't have any principles in the matter and don't expect the cops to either. Police behaving in this way should get harsher sentences than a criminal because of the trust placed in them.

I have a recording of a cop (Buffalo Transit Authority, at an airport) saying “we are the law” in response to me citing the law.

Not a lot of sympathy to those who come to that conclusion.

“Did you side with Tawana Brawley?”

Man, you’re killing me with this stuff. First you say the old lady got what she deserved and now, even though the cops have been PROVEN liars, you have the gall to ask the question above. Keep digging your hole, I’m going to sit here and laugh at your pathetic self.

You know what really should have people worried?, it's the constant use of "no-knock search warrant's". Had this been an actual (original) Constitutionally issued warrant, this entire tragedy would've been avoided.

This scenario is repeated all across these untied states all the time. Its all over the TV, cops busting down doors dragging people out onto the streets and the people cheer . What happened to good ole police investigating? Do the police now just believe what any ole informant says and just bust down a door with guns blazing? The bastardization of our Constitutional protections is getting worst and worst. Soon we'll end up as another 3ed world dictatorial sh*thole and when the sleeping people finally wake up, they will all stand around and wonder why 'someone didn't do something'.

The American people have been asleep for so long enjoying their blissful illusion of liberty that they will do nothing to protect what liberty we still have left.

hello,

I was this man’s best friend. This was a pointless and needless tragedy and one I lived with everyday for many years. I saw him one week before they killed him and I was the guy that brought him to FLorida. He never had a chance, I have the newspaper articles on this entire thing and they depicted him as some kind of nut. He was a great guy. R.I.P. Joe, long you live and forever. And your on the web, too bad you had to die for it, working on our book.
