Iris lilies, how are things in your hood?

Once again, I'm amazed at a couple of posters here who seem to expect me to go along and give the police a free pass even though I have witnessed police brutality in my neighborhood in Phoenix against Hispanic neighbors. Sorry, no can do. ...Rob

You make two points over and over that I will now address, but won't argue against, because they are too generaL

1) Rob: There is police brutality in the U.S., there is inappropriate action by police.
iris:No kidding.

2) Rob:I do not trust police.
iris: OK.

My worldview doesn't have to be your worldview and you may form you own opinion, but I'm not going to argue with point #2 because that's your worldview and you are entitled to it.

The generalities in #1 are too extreme to have a conversation. Police brutality and lying and graft and corruption all happen, sure. It's a good thing to have watchdogs watching the watchdogs, and I regularly see news reports of Internal Affairs investigations in my local police force. So from whee I sit, there IS regular review of police action. Didn't you watch The Shield? Vince finally got what was coming to him, you know. It just took seven seasons.
