The weird dynamic here Rob is that I'm not a big fan of the cops myself. But you have just taken things so far to the exteme it's not leaving much room for reasonable discussion.
Obviously, I don't consider my take extreme at all. I would question the intensity a bit to be honest with you if my neighbors - not the Guatemalans, btw, of course they won't ever see the police the same way again, either - didn't see this issue the same way. I don't know but I'm guessing some of it is social class conditioning and some of it is life experiences....I do know of a few people with money who agree with me though, so that blows my theory out of the water. Let's just say in my case that the trust has been permanently lost. Rob

I just realized this is a holiday - I'm going to take a break from this thread for a day or two barring significant events coming out of Ferguson. Honestly, by this time everyone knows my take and I'm not changing my mind and neither is anyone else.....this is a bit of a hot topic it seems. This took my a little bit by surprise but then again, this is not my neighborhood I live in on the board here and we do all have own unique experiences that factor into our takes here. Out of respect to that I'm giving it a rest for a bit. Happy Labor Day to all.
