What I said to beetnemesis random thoughts Send a noteboard - 09/12/2011 06:19:14 PM
I am not saying cops are never assholes just that 90% of the time when we see some youtube video claiming cops are being assholes it is cops be put into a position to force someone to listen to them. Look at all the people upset over that cop pepper spraying those kids out in California, they were told they had to leave and refused so they got peppered sprayed. Why should police officers risk personal injury because some dumb shit refuses to move when he is told. If the police tell you to get off the sidewalk or you will get peppered sprayed and refuse to give then you chose to get pepper sprayed and you have no one to blame but yourself. The headline tohose videos should have been "brain dead college students choose to get pepper sprayed in the face over moving off the sidewalk".

Funny I am 45 years old and I spent a lot of time in rural area all over this country and only very rarely have I had problems with a cop being an asshole. The vast majority of time even when I am in the wrong they are polite and the few times they were not I was able to resolve it by walking away.

No, I'm pretty sure there's a difference between "asshole" and "cautious" - 09/12/2011 01:36:26 PM 391 Views
