They are no different than any other schlub on the street - and they will be the first to tell you that.

Their ethics and morals don't come from a textbook or a seminar - but like everone else - a life lived.

Then do a better job of who you hire as cops. Maybe an interview question like, ‘Describe the circumstances under which you would pepper spray a nine year old in the face’ would be helpful.

"If she had calves like cantaloupes and was kicking at me, she'd need some pepper spray to the face" isn't likely to be an answer in an interview, and shouldn't be one on the street, either.

Heavy, fat...get your head out of your ass you POS.

I didn't bring up how heavy she is to mock her. I feel bad for her because her parents clearly do not care about her health and let her become that. She'll lose decades of her lifespan if she continues eating at the rate she is. And I brought up her weight because someone in the thread was misrepresenting the situation and called her 60 lbs. A 60 lb 9 year old would be a stick figure. This girl is not your average 9 year old.

I defended her in my posts. I'm ok with her being handcuffed because she was kicking people, but it was wrong to pepper spray her. If bringing up a fact like her being a large girl offends you, I don't know what to tell you. Facts don't care about feelings.

Attacking an officer is a really bad idea though. I know she's 9, but someone called her 60 lbs? She looks very fat to me. Heavier than many grown women.

She looks probably around 130 lbs. As heavy as a grown woman. Look at her legs. They are huge/ very thick. A kick from a girl even under a hundred pounds could easily crack a grown man's ribs. She obviously has very f'd up parents who have been a terrible influence on her. She thought her mom stabbed her father, and it's abuse in itself to let any 9 year old child get that fat. The parents are killing the child slowly letting her get that fat.

I didn't see the child kick the cop in the back of the car, and if she wasn't kicking at that point, they should have been more patient with her. Maybe they didn't just want to shove her in there because they were afraid of injuring her legs. That doesn't mean they should have pepper sprayed her though. She may be the size of an adult, but she has the mind of a child, so you can't just treat her like an adult.

I love question time.  Do you read the threads, or instinctively cover for other assholes like you instinctively cover for asshole cops?

We have EVERY right to expect a higher moral and ethical standard from them. If they can’t provide or live up to that standard, they should choose another profession.
