I am calling a spade a spade and you are saying its a spoon. you really must love authority and your slavery the way you defend it. born and bred slave. enjoy it
What happened to you that you are so angry with all authority in life? I mean, I am far from pro-cop, but you seem to blacklist them all. Simmer down, buddy. The world isn't really a horrible place. You live in Hawaii, so I am not sure what could bring you down out there.
not being brought down, I think any arbitrary authority is a threat to human kind. its sad that we let ourselves get in this situation. We are all human and to think that an article of paper can give someone the authority to abuse and mistreat his fellow humans is asinine. People who advocate for this praetorian state are ill in the head.
Gotta dig how this thread prompted many SI members to get an avatar or change the one they had. Improves the visual experience of the site. BANNER FOR AVATARS!
But not all cops abuse others. Most cops are trying to actually prevent abuse. There are some bad seeds, and they seem to give others a bad name. I have partied with a few cops before. Good decent human beings, just like us. I have also been harassed by ****head cops. I just try to remember that they aren't all bad.
I think as a rule the 'blue shield' is nonsense as they don't report abuse, they cover for it. Good cops cover for bad cops on the reg. its a disease. cops arent allowed to be smart, either: http://reason.com/blog/2013/05/01/court-oks-barring-smart-people-from-beco I know some cops are good decent human beings...I am related to more than one as a few of my cousins are cops in NJ.....but have you ever heard of the Stanford prison experiment? read about it, its fascinating. its a matter of WHEN, not IF those in authority will abuse their authority
I don't love authority. I had trouble with authority for 20 years. You just call everything a spade. I call the actual spades spades. When you same the same thing over and over hoping that one time you're correct nobody will believe you when you are. Look at the pics you posted and said the cop kicked the dog. That's just complete BS. There's plenty of police abuse in the world to jump on (kid that was shot in his home is a perfect example). Why not save your hate for them?
how about this? I dont care what that woman did, to kick a handcuffed woman is cowardly and indefensible or this hilarious gem
