    This photograph and the posting that followed is what spurred the discussion. Why is someone that's concerned by it a "Cop Hater"?
Perspective is a funny thing... I find no humor in your choice of words.

Because you have NO idea what went on in that picture, unless you are going to now claim that AP is a reliable source.

You're jumping to conclusions you have NO way of knowing and smearing good, honest law enforcement officers while you're doing it.

Pink is very cute, but really hard to read. If you want people to notice pretty colors, make it pink.

If you want people to read your stuff, make it easy to read.

I saw the picture. So? Do you assume the police just decided, "Hey, this would be a good time to throw someone to the ground and cuff 'em, just for the hell of it"?

Furthermore, I consider some of the people on this thread cop-haters because of their anti-police rhetoric. If the shoe fits, wear it.

FURTHERMORE, when someone says perspective is "a funny thing", it doesn't necessarily imply that that they think that thing is humorous. But you knew that, didn't you?

If you're "concerned" about it, why not contact the cops having the jurisdiction and who made the stop in the photograph.......ask them what led up to it and for an explanation...there are ways to do this

There isn't anyone here that can give you an explanation, unless they were the officers shown in the picture, right?

To insinuate that those of us who assume there is a good reason why the guy is restrained on the ground, are "sheep" and post cute little graphics of bleeting critters is really an uneducated generalization, on your part.

And it uses up a lot of bandwith too.
