They don't? Heck, I respect them as a group. I respect them because I know that most are honorable men and women doing a job they get little thanks for. This is not a thread about the military, this is a thread about dirty pigs, as you were. The commenet I responded to was directed at police as a group, not just the bad ones. Please try to pay attention. And I was never a cop, let alone a "dirty pig". As you were menat to be ab independent statement, not an assertion that you were ever a cop - poor punctuation. Police as a group - as another poster said, that is the problem; they are pigs as a group with a few good ones. Also, the courts allow them to get away with murder, so the problem is systemic and isn't getting better. Have any viable data to back up your claim that more cops are bad than good? Or your claim that the courts "let them get away with murder" ? Yea, they really keep data on dirty cops and most of it goes unreported or uninvestgated/unenforced, so just go on pig-loving and pretending it's just 1 bad one here or there. I've witnessed the courts letting one go on murder, observed cases where 2nd degree gets charged as a traffic ticket. The only reason they charge it that way is to avoid double jeopardy and immunize the murdering piggy from further charges. So you're just blowin' smoke based on your own prejudices with no data at all to back up your claims. In other words...business as usual. Yea, pot - kettle. Do I need to post data that you ignored that's just a couple threadfs away? Yea, 100 years of tax rates? Uh huh, you ought to let that one go. It's about as ridiculous as you can get to think any credible data or data alone is collected and tabulated for dirty cops. Love it, I had a tool in a fidd forum ask me for data about all the innocent people executed since Gregg v Georgia in 1976; guess what? They don't make those admissions, just like dirty cops - it just won't be admitted. What the FUCK are you talking about????? Seriously, Dude, you need to get outside and spend some time away from the internet.

rhaig 0 #52 August 12, 2010 QuoteQuotebull - so it's less of a crime if an accountant beats on someone and breaks their leg???It's not against the law to fight back against the accountant. Wendy P. http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/PE/htm/PE.9.htmhttp://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/PE/htm/PE.9.htm Quote (c) The use of force to resist an arrest or search is justified: (1) if, before the actor offers any resistance, the peace officer (or person acting at his direction) uses or attempts to use greater force than necessary to make the arrest or search; and (2) when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the peace officer's (or other person's) use or attempted use of greater force than necessary. and it may not be against the law to fight back against a LEO who is using unlawful force. know your local laws, don't be sheeple.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #53 August 12, 2010 QuoteCan't you see the clear distinction. My standards for all people on the topic is "you don't beat up on others". I don't see how you can have a higher or lower standard on the topic. What would it be? "you can beat up another a little bit and it's ok with me, while that guy can't" ?? it's nuts. How can someone have moving standards? this is about semantics anyway - if you read the other responses you might have caught that ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,120 #54 August 12, 2010 >What would it be? "you can beat up another a little bit and it's ok with >me, while that guy can't" ?? it's nuts. Yes. Try these two cases: Driver guy has a few drinks, gets into an accident with someone. Both get out of their cars. Other guy is pissed. He says "give me your license!" Driver guy says "fuck you asshole!" Guy says "that's it, you're coming with me to sort this out." Driver says "fuck you!" and turns to leave. Guy tackles him, bloodying his nose in the process, gets him into a headlock, drags him across the street to his place of business, and holds him there until he pays for the damage. Driver guy has a few drinks, gets into an accident with a cop car. Both get out of their cars. Cop is pissed. He says "give me your license!" Driver guy says "fuck you asshole!" Cop says "that's it, you're under arrest." Driver says "fuck you!" and turns to leave. Cop tackles him, bloodying his nose in the process, handcuffs him, and drags him back to the station, holding him there until he is arraigned and someone bails him out. Exactly the same physical altercation in both cases. One is OK, one isn't - based purely on who the other guy is. >How can someone have moving standards? "Moving standards" is another word for "common sense." You would not apply the same standards of behavior to a child, a senile old man, a cop and a 30 year old.
