Perhaps you could wait till somebody does post something you don't like, instead of accusing non existent posters of something they have yet to do.
There are FReepers who oppose laws against murder and theft? Can you quote them to that effect?
Does it make me a cop “hater” if I have built up a healthy distrust of police due to their overly aggressive behavior over the years and them being the new yes men for an out-of-control gov’t hell bent on stamping out multiple freedoms we enjoy?
No sane person would cheer the deaths of police officers, but there are clear examples of police acting like good for nothing thugs.
Like this piece of trash:
“what a dip shitted comment”
+1.
You self-proclaimed defenders of my freedom, aren’t worth a pile of barnyard manure.
Why don’t you rant on about how many more dangerous jobs are out there while you’re at it.
I recognize when officers go outside the law. I also recognize that there is no harder more thankless job than driving up to some home with a domestic dispute, where the person who actually called, may wind up shooting the officers that came to help them.
It’s not the rights you seek to defend that cause me to detest you, it’s your methods and disrespect of the majority of officers that joined their local force because of a sense of civic duty.
Go crap on some other forum. I’m tired of smelling your droppings here.
Notice...guy “takes off”. Well, now, here’s a law-abiding, cooperative, upright citizen who is killed for giving to the Salvation Army...or not. Here’s a clue, Roman, STOP when the cops tell you to. OR EXPECT TO GET SHOT. I hope the lady gets off.
No problem, I knew some would be pinged to this thread and there is a handful I just ignore now as they are not worthy of my time and yes one has appeared on here.
You would think that even after so many posts of never getting a reply they would get the message but alas they do not.
There are legitimate concerns about American law enforcement and how it does its job.
Case in point. Statistics are difficult to come by, but it is probable that UK now has a higher violent crime rate than USA. Certainly London has a higher violent crime rate than NYC. Although their murder rate is much lower than ours.
Last year, in the entire country, UK police fired their weapons in confrontation with suspects a grand total of three times. Nobody died.
We can discuss why the astonishing disparity with American LEO, but that the disparity exists tells us something about our LEOs, about America itself, or both.
Thanks for your post-—I came very close to leaving FR in December because of the cop haters.
I don’t get it-—I really don’t.

A major reason why some extrapolate from the bad cops to all cops is that the good cops have a strong ethic of supporting all other cops, including the bad ones, regardless.
If good cops went after bad ones with the zeal they should, they’d get a lot more support from the community.
Early days yet, but it appears that departments that introduce cop-cams promptly have a significant drop in accusations of excessive force. Now that could be because false accusations aren’t made, or because cops are cutting back on bad behavior knowing they’re on camera.
Or both.
shhhhhhh it isn’t nice to confuse folks with the facts
You missed the part where she had the idiot on the ground and tased his a$$. He wasn’t resisting at that point.
Highly unlikely she’ll get off now since cops like her are giving a very bad name for cops everywhere, and the public notices (thanks to our anti-cop media). Call me a “hater” then ;) because I call it murder.

And we wonder why the direct result of it is a very distrustful public, and certain departments with a mafia like reputation.
I don’t remember if I read it here or on the comments section on Yahoo! (I think it was FR), but a poster had a good theory as to why there is no outrage in cases like these. The race-baiters always pick a case in which two sides can be baited in a case. Prime examples are Trayvon and Michael “Gentle Giant” Brown. At first, it looked as if an innocent young black had been hounded to death by some “cracka” just for being black. This caused outrage among blacks and other assorted idiots around the country. Once more details emerged, it became clear to people with brains that the young black males had caused their own deaths due to their thuggish behavior. This gets whites riled up as they feel the need to defend themselves against false “white racism” charges.
If the race-baiters (Sharpton, Jesse, Holder, Obama, et al) picked a case where an upright young black male was indeed killed by an outright racist, they won’t run with that story because blacks and whites will be united in their desire to see justice meted out to the racist bad guy. They also won’t show stories of feral yutes beating and raping and killing whites because they can only create outrage among whites. That does not serve the purpose of sowing disharmony among the races, which is why you don’t see those stories.
You’ll see most cops defend other cops simply because they were not there. They realize from experience you can’t extrapolate out everything that took place from the code book or simple reasoned though inaccurate extrapolations.
Once a cop is found out to be absolutely wrong, the other cops more or less hang their heads wishing it weren’t so.
I’ll grant you there’s some truth in what you say. There’s also some truth in what I am saying.
We know from life, no group is one thing or another solely. Unfortunately that is tossed out then window by some people when it comes to law enforcement.
No, I did not miss it. You missed the part where she tried to stop him, but of course, mr. integrity ran off because he knows better. Clue, again, here Roman...STOP the FIRST time they ask. Gee...there is a new concept.
bkmk
Amazing stat.
I agree there is truth to what you say.
Cops depend on each other in life and death situations. Doesn’t happen every day, and for many cops such a situation never really arises. But there’s always the chance today might be the day.
By definition, such a relationship creates strong bonds and a desire to protect. And that’s all to the good.
But the problem is that there is also a downside. Particularly when carried too far.
The militarization and extreme force used by cops that has become more reported in recent years leads me to wonder about something. Likely most conservatives I generally discounted black people with their complaints of police brutality.
But could it be that cops are now bringing out into the wider community methods and attitudes they’ve always had when dealing with the black community? Could all those minorities complaining about police brutality have been at least partialy right?
and that is a discussion I could have with you making some good points
