There is one huge gaping hole in your argument here. Being me, let's proceed to it. Waiters as I said before, really don't have any power to abuse you with - the police do. Right here and now I'll give you that not every cop abuses their power - I get that. The unfortunate truth is that some do and you never know what kind of cop you will be dealing with in advance. I'd a sight rather have someone spit in my food unpleasant though that may be, than be brutally attacked as my neighbor was, as the elderly Indian man in Alabama was - as others have been and continue to be. I have no sympathy for the police until there is more of a level playing field and until such as date as when they cross the line into illegal behavior, they find themselves dealing with swift and severe consequences. Until such a date as some kind of bill of citizen rights against illegal behavior by the police is drawn up and is made effective, I say boo ####ing hoo for the police. Some of them sure have earned it. Unfortunately there are some good people in the mix who are cops who are going to suffer for this - but my question from awhile back still stands: Why are the good cops not agitating to have the troublemakers/trash that causes problems thrown off the force? I have a hard time having sympathy when trash and troublemakers are kept on - and for people that are more on the cops side, please realize this type of officer causes more huge settlements, upping insurance rates for municipalities and causing over time fewer services and higher taxes. Is this what you want, those who side with the police? That's up to you, I can't make that choice for other people. But I won't deny that some cops have no business being a cop and that sometimes the public pays for it. In more than one way. RobOriginally Posted by Yossarian
