The only thing I've seen my police brutalize is a bottle of beer.

But that's my police. I've seen other departments that have had legitimate issues with police misconduct. In most cases they handle the issue appropriately. Speaking for myself I'd prosecute a cop same as anybody else...in fact I tried a Sheriff Deputy for Disorderly Conduct last year.

But you've rather strongly indicated that you have no problem with police brutality, even going so far as to characterize it as them exercising their "right of free expression" and "right of rebuttal". And there's also this little gem of yours:

Quote:


I invite you to go to the police station...make sure nobody is around (otherwise it could be Disorderly) except for you and the officers, and then say what you feel.

Yep, just you, your freedom of speech, and a roomfull of police officers who you've just insulted. I'm sure that would be just fine.

Excerpt from police report re: arrest of aka AnthonyT: "...suspect then proceeded to ram the nightstick up his own anus. Officers asked him to stop and when he refused to stop hitting himself he was tasered for his own safety."




So you claim it's never happened, but then you also seem to indicate that if it DID happen, and were covered up, you'd be fine with that, too.

So tell me again why anyone should believe you?

Freedom is Important because People are Important


Hello,

I think Hero was making a bad joke.

The irony is that his joke relies on the expectations we all have of police officers.

Hero expects, as we all do, that police officers would retaliate in such a situation if at all possible.

It rather makes the point.

Oh, I know. I'm having fun with him, taking his words at face value and turning his joke around to poke fun at him with it.

Oooo - be careful! BigDamnNobody might get upset at you for saying we all have low expectations of the cops.

Indeed it does. Doesn't say much for the police, when even one of the people who's supposed to be on "their" side thinks so little of them, does it?

First of all it was a good joke that pokes fun at police for how they write reports and at you folks for having these stupid expectations.

Reminds me of a video we have in our "special" collection. Man is being arrested for DUI. He starts screaming and crying and begging the officer to stop hurting him...the officer had yet to even take a step towards him. Later the guy is placed in the back of the car along with his girlfriend. Not knowing about the camera he proceeds to ask her to help him injure himself "so I's can sue".

Very funny. Especially when the officer asks him deadpan to stop crying till "after I've actually touched you".

Having run across a relative bit, lemme quote an earlier statement here.

Maryland, in particular western MD, has a long history of police officers misusing attack dogs on unresisting suspects, cause they can always just blame the dog - and one officer let me on to a sneaky little secret they don't tell you about so-called drug sniffing dogs...

See, the officer usually sets up some kind of discreet signal to the dog, training them to react to it as if they would an actual scent hit, which is WHY, if you check, you'll find so *many* instances of a search caused by that turning up no drugs, but often enough something else given that just about every goddamn thing can be construed to be illegal in some fashion.



And here's a clip of a cop giving that pre-arranged hand signal to the dog and his fellow officers, and following through by PLANTING the dope, and this AFTER encouraging the dog to bite a compliant suspect, in an ironic echo of the very behavior I just described.

Of course, this being Tennessee, and as PN will quite justifiable tell you, also corrupt as all hell, specifically including the police.
