Geesh! I had no idea you personally knew all the police officers in the United States in such a personal way! Based on your expert advice then, I stand corrected. LOL
It is dishonest to make the claim that all police officers and all police departments are abusive of citizens. They are not. It is honest to say that the problem police officers and departments have become so numerous at this point, a nation-wide professional, administrative, legal and political action is necessary to stop the abusers.
They need to be retrained because homeland security has screwed everything up and they need to understand they will be head-chopped if they violate the rights of citizens or fail to report or punish the violation of rights.
It would be helpful if conservative police officers - especially reitred ones - who remember the integrity of the profession prior to 911 would study the problems and lead us in advocating for change. Otherwise it will be the race baiters who go after them. And in their love for criminality, mindlessness and hatred, they will get officers killed.
Just as it is dishonest to imply that I made such a universally sweeping and easily refutable claim.
Nevertheless, it is completely boneheaded to miss the argument's center of gravity, and treat the exception as the rule.
