Scan through the Fucking Cops thread.  Plenty of examples of cops claiming things which don't appear on the videos they didn't know were recording them.

(To me, that implies a basic level of dishonesty.)

Percentages, please.

Some news snippets:

'A teen returning home late from a party was trying to sneak into his home, when his father accidentally killed him with a muscle car.'

'A six year old boy managed to get ahold of his uncle's unsecured muscle car. While he was playing with it, the car went off, killing the boy's two year old cousin.'

'Police are on the lookout for a man in his late twenties who entered a bank yesterday and demanded cash. According to witnesses, the man shouted, "Don't try anything stupid - I have a muscle car!" '.

'While cleaning her muscle car, 47 year old Elspeth Grundler was severely wounded when the car unexpectedly discharged.'

How long with these senseless tragedies be allowed to continue?

Quote:No offense, but how arrogant and simple are you to think this can be done without starting a war against an enemy which probably won't be much better organized than the Oregon morons, but numerous enough to cause death by at least the thousands? Americans are not Brits, they will resist, therefore they need to be dealt with delicately. They have the relative geographic factors on their side against any government which is dumb enough to go to their houses in the attempt to confiscate anything, they believe they are right because any such a policy violates their core values as Americans, and they are very determined to keep what they have.

Then you're not going about it properly. To confiscate guns, the US should retain Liam Neeson. I don't know if you've seen the outstanding documentary series 'Taken', but Neeson is VERY good at taking guns away from people.

You mean what percentage of cops will protect other cops?  Damn close to all of them I would say.

You have no numbers, so you try a diversion. Your confirmation bias is showing.

I don't believe anything the cops say any more so for me the number is 100%.

In case you have a short memory.

Your hate is your sole prop. Doesn't do much for your credibility.

Hey, if you want to believe the childish story that "the policeman is your friend" be my fucking guest. 

They are in it for themselves and you don't want to get in their way.  They'll gladly shoot you and claim it was your fault.  And if there is no video they'll get away with it.

Case after case is now coming out - thank goodness for cell phone video - and taxpayer are having to pay millions to settle up with the victims of the blue wall of silence.  These are facts, pal.  Believe them or not.  No skin off my nose.

If I had a gun in my dick, I'd want to be shot, just to put me out of my misery.
