Watch what this cop did to this guy after pulling him over!

Considering the $100 was enough to buy tags for two cars I think it unlikely that the citation actually was a citation.
 
STY will probably do some "research" and inform everyone that the Police Officer is now forcing the young man to be a paid informant.
 
These discussions are really the distasteful realm of cowards. On Monday morning, the NYPD buried one of its "bullies" and his partner remains in the hospital fighting for her life.

What "outrage" did they commit? They ran into a burning public housing development trying to save lives.

And that's the difference in this debate. One side rushes towards danger, the other rushes away.

Watch the 9-11 tapes for a stark example. One group of people runs toward the towers, the other group runs away.... and once at a safe distance, they look back and bitch about those who ran towards the danger.

I am not one to say that all US cops are fascist bastards but the police over here are far more strictly regulated to weed out the psychopaths. WE have the IPCC, no not the UN clowns, but the Independent Police Complaints Commission. I am reminded of that case in NY where an unarmed African man had 41 bullets fired at him and even then at nearly point blank range 22 of them missed! Naturally all the cops walked.

Amadou Diallo

DIALLO-190.jpg


CBS 2 via Associated Press

Amadou Diallo, an unarmed West African immigrant with no criminal record, was 22 years old when he was killed on Feb. 5, 1999, by four New York City police officers. The officers — Kenneth Boss, Sean Carroll, Edward McMellon and Richard Murphy — acknowledged firing 41 shots that night, but said they thought that Mr. Diallo was carrying a gun. Mr. Diallo, who came to America more than two years before from Guinea and worked as a street peddler in Manhattan, was hit by 19 bullets while standing in the doorway of his Bronx apartment building.

The case set off massive protests across the city, and became a flashpoint for heightened frictions between minority leaders and the administration of Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani. All four officers, who were in plainclothes, said they approached Mr. Diallo because they thought he fit the description of a man wanted in a rape case. They contended that when he pulled out his wallet to show identification they mistook it for a gun.

The officers faced prosecution on second-degree murder and other charges but were acquitted by a jury in Albany, where the trial had been moved because of concerns over pretrial publicity.

I could explain all of the particulars of the Diallo shooting that led to the officers being acquitted of criminal charges, I've done so many times over the intervening years.... to the point of exhaustion. Some people seem to take a perverse comfort in the belief that police officers start their tours in the lockerroom saying things like "Hey! It's been boring lately. Let's go out tonight and light someone up for absolutely no reason, face criminal and civil charges, and totally screw our lives up! It'll be a gas!"

I've learned that willfully ignorant mindset can not be swayed.

Suffice to say, the verdict was not a message from the people of New York that it's OK for the police to run around pumping 40+ rounds into unarmed people. It that had been the case, the intervening 15 years would have been a bloodbath in New York City. The contrary, the firearms discharge rate of the NYPD is one of the lowest in the nation.

But this is a meaningless discussion. I'm here, and have been all my life. You're over there.... a plastic hot dog eating Yankee.

Is that where you've moved to now, MF?

Yes, tommy, your crack research has found me out, again! I bet you thought I moved somewhere else didn't you? But nope I didn't move East, tommy, I moved South! I came down here because I heard Texas was turning blue and I wanted to be here for the historic shift so I moved to Brownsville, Besides I really hate Rick Perry and Republicans and I love Wendy Davis so it was a natural for me. Just a good fit all the way around. There are plenty of Republicans for me to hate and I am working on Davis's campaign. I think she is going to win, tommy, and besides being that Texas is so close to Mexico, I can take more of those Mexican vacations that I have become famous for and it turns out that Texas is experiencing some rather warm temperatures, too! So maybe I will study that global warming hoax while I am here!

Our police are bloody saints compared to what you have in the US, people still trust them over here for the most part.

Oh, saints are they now?

Pray, tell me which great figures of Christendom are they emulating when they finger out prominent Irish Republicans to loyalist paramilitary groups to be shot down in their homes in front of their families?

:rolleyes:

Did a single cop risk his life at Columbine High School to save school children or did they cower outside in fear and helplessness while children were slaughtered? Stop being such a liar, it is very unbecoming.
