and you say that you don't care, use the screen name SharptonFan.
You're basing your opinion about cops killing citizens on reports from the media. The media lies. They leave out important details. Sure a few of the local 750,000 police officers in this country are bad eggs. An overwhelming majority aren't.
Obama wants centralized control over local law enforcement similar to the way he wants centralized control over everything.
So the media pushes the lies (and a few legitimate cases) and you believe them.
I like Levin, but this is one of the few areas he is flat WRONG about.
Fair enough.
So when you are posting about all the other stuff, keep your screen name as it is.
When you are posting on a thread about two innocent cops who have just been assasinated, and you say that you don't care, use the screen name SharptonFan.

What you aren’t getting is that when good cops protect their bad eggs, they become bad eggs themselves. Look at that NYC stairwell shooting. When that chief decided it is just ‘an accident’ and the cop should walk away from it, that chief became a bad egg.
In the Harless of Canton OH incident, Harless was the ‘bad egg’. But ALL of those cops stood up for his worthless behind.
I don’t blame LE for the few Harlesses, cowards like the NYC stairwell shooting, criminal cops, or the incompetents that can’t practice proper weapons safety.
I blame LE as a whole for their wholehearted SUPPORT and DEFENSE of those same bad cops. You can’t hold the blue line and still be a good cop. The ‘good’ cops need to decide which is more important. That brother officer blue line game, or being an honest cop. The two attitudes are not compatible.
Before I forget, here is a prime example of a blue line game at its finest.

Do you think for one moment any of those cops didn’t realize they were protecting a brother officer who’d murdered his ex-wife? No cop is going to be stupid enough to buy a suicide by shooting oneself in the back of the head.
He was the bad apple. And so where they for going along with it. I won’t say every cop in the department knew about it. But it is clear the investigating officers knew it, and so did the chief/sheriff.
