Fucking Cops

Not listening to yourself, are you?

I'm not sure what you mean but this is hardly news.

Hundreds of Police Killings Are Uncounted in Federal Stats

FBI Data Differs from Local Counts on Justifiable Homicides

The full national scope of the underreporting can’t be quantified. In the period analyzed by the Journal, 753 police entities reported about 2,400 killings by police. The large majority of the nation’s roughly 18,000 law-enforcement agencies didn’t report any.

We really don't know what the killer-cop tally is.  That is one of the problems.

[Gawdzilla]

Sigh.

So why don't you just say that you think cops should be able to kill anyone they want and be done with it.  At least that would be honest on your part.

I expected you to go idiot at some point, but you're early.

You're not saying anything coherent so I have lost patience with you.

Fuck off or say what you need to say.

My attitude is in regard to posters making sweeping generalizations about a category of people. All cops are bad? Yes, I hear that. The subject line for instance. If there was thread here saying "fucking blacks!" what would the forum's attitude be? "Fucking Jews!" "Fucking faggots!"

Listen to yourselves.

We're condemning actions. Not things that people can't help. Are there good cops? Great. Those aren't the ones we're talking about. We're talking about criminals hiding behind badges.

I don't see any discrimination between cops who are guilty and those who are not here, that's why I'm calling "sweeping generalization".

[Minimalist]

Oh, so we're back to the not all cops are bad shit.

That's been stipulated before although I'm not at all sure what a good cop is.

My view of a good cop is one who reports a fellow officer who exceeds his authority...not one who tries to cover up the crime.

While you're trying to find evidence of these 'good cops' here's another bad one.

Seattle officer who arrested black man for walking with a golf club ‘should be fired’

A white Seattle officer should be fired for biased and improper policing after she arrested an elderly black man using a golf club as a cane during a walk last summer, the director of a police watchdog group said on Tuesday.

The lawsuit says Whitlatch lied when she alleged he swung the golf club at her. Nowhere in a roughly seven-minute police dashboard camera video can he be seen swinging the club.

The video is instrumental in demonstrating that the cop lied.  What would have been result of the case without it?  She said - he said and she was wearing blue.
