Thank God I'm not qualified to become a Policeman

I not only studied criminal justice in college. I was a policeman for years. I've forgotten more about police work than you'll ever know.

Thanks for playing.
Don't forget to take your Thorazine.

Baltimore became the dumping ground for mid-Atlantic poor..not a black or white issue, more a crappy tax base

HAHAHA. Baltimore is 90% black and they're all on welfare. That's why they have a crappy tax base, you fool.

no, I agree that there's one definition for traveling, according to the law.

But since you want to use one example of someone not being hired and then try to use that as a broad brush to paint everyone else, why aren't we able to use one travelers behavior to paint the rest of them??

That might explain why you're no longer a Policeman, if you ever were one to begin with.

if you want to be on the side of big government, like all liberals, then feel free to use that example as you see fit.

I got in as a matter of principle, a commitment to civilization, & law & order.
I spent some years at it. And when I learned that it wasn't what I'd dreamed it would be, I got out of that line of work, and into computer chip development.

My salary increased manifold.
My working conditions became safer and more relaxed.
Instead of dragging drunks out of bars, I worked with engineers, some of the best on the planet.

I'm not an anarchist. I deeply appreciate law & order. But I've spent time with half a dozen COPs in the past year, and I'm very glad they're taking care of it. In my retirement I consider my bout as a COP as a youthful indiscretion.

It wasn't a comment or a question about being on the side of big government and instead was about using a single Travelers behavior as an example of ALL TRAVELERS behaviors.

I thought you understood that.

So you say; but then, it does appear that liberals do tend to make up "stories" about who they know, where they've lived and/or worked.

[iewitness]

there will be a whole lot more goons shot to death in Baltimore. genius. ; a dead man can't sue their killer or testify against their killer.

Thank you for attesting to my veracity.

Thank you for attesting to my veracity.

If you believe that I was "attesting" to you being truthful, probably shows another reason why you're not involved in law enforcement.

you used a comparison of one being the same as the other. I thought YOU understood that.

[USFREEDOM911]

you used a comparison of one being the same as the other. I thought YOU understood that.

But that was to point out what you were attempting to do and that led to the question I asked.

Didn't you understand that?

[Text Drivers are Killers]

My salary increased manifold.

HAHAHA. You mean many-fold? HAHAHA. Blacks are so illiterate.

"If you believe that I was "attesting" to you being truthful ..." U9 #41

In matters such as this sir or m'am, why would what I think matter?
My comment addressed YOUR WORDS, not my thoughts:

YOUR WORDS: "So you say; but then, it does appear that liberals do tend to make up "stories" about who they know, where they've lived and/or worked." U9 #38

Therefore by logical deduction, if "liberals do tend to make up 'stories'" then conservatives do not.
I'm vastly too mature to squabble about labels. But as a political conservative I accept your flattery, as well as your validation.

"probably shows another reason why you're not involved in law enforcement." U9 #41

You've made numerous errors here.
- Not involved now, I retired in 1997.
- "Probably" addresses probability. But this is a simple binary. Either I was OTJ, or not. Your amateurish attempt at statistical analysis will only lead you astray.

I understand you're not smart enough to figure it out. And I have nothing to gain no matter what you think. If you wish to think I'm the man in the moon, please yourself.

Now if YOU are done with the ad hom, the topic is about holding police responsible for their OTJ actions.

As a conservative I think it's a disgrace we haven't done this from the start.

Personal responsibility is a cornerstone of conservatism.

But I can reduced this in conceptual complexity to a level of simplicity even you can understand.

The People are not here for the convenience (or annoyance) of the police.
The police are here for the welfare of the whole People.

And therefore it is the essence of political conservatism that those whose sworn professional duty is our welfare be held to the same standard the rest of us are.

I hope this very quickly becomes the U.S. national standard, and spreads from there to encompass the globe.

I don't mind being corrected TK, if I'm wrong. But according to AHD, my usage was correct.
