With few exceptions, such as Al Queda, labeling and hating an entire group/class/category/etc. is ridiculous and indefensible.

Don't forget to add Wanda Sykes and the former 219 to the exceptions list.

Staged.

It wasn't staged! The cop gave the bum shoes so the cop wouldn't have to carry this retched piece of human trash into the subway tunnel, he was able to walk in on his own. Once inside the tunnel the cop tased the bum to make him more compliant (pliant) and then tossed him on the rails and watched him do the crappy flop thing. I feel real bad for the 5% that get painted with the same brush.

I run corrugated. Bales, stacked the whole length of the trailer, usually all the way to the back doors. They frequently fall against the doors and more than one driver has had a bale fall on him when opening the doors. In fact, it just happened recently, causing the company some money in medical bills, and the driver's going to be off work for a while.
So they just issued us straps. You move the door handle out of the way, put the hook through the hole in the latch where the seal goes, then do the same to the other door. Then when you open the doors, they'll only open about 6-8". If a bale is about to fall, this stops out before it can fall on your head. It's a little bit of a PIA, putting this stupid strap on every time you open the doors, but we can see that it's smart, because we've all had bales threaten to come down on us, at least, all of us that have been here for any length of time. It's the nature of hauling these bales.
And so it is with cops. It's the nature of modern police work--and by modern, I mean the last 2-3 decades, depending on where you live--to violate people's rights and use excessive force. It's the nature of the beast now, and any cop who's been on the beat for any length of time has done it. Any cop that won't doesn't stay a cop for very long. Don't believe me? Ask Regina Tosca, the former cop in Bogota, NJ, who got fired after stepping in to stop other cops from using excessive force. Or ask the ex-cop whose name I'm going to edit in here after I look it up, who got fired from the Austin, TX PD after refusing to use a taser on an elderly man who didn't need to be subdued. (edit: Ramon Perez God vs. Taser: Officer Sues APD: Former rookie officer claims he was forced to resign because of his religious beliefs after he refused to comply with a supervisor's order to use excessive force on a suspect - News - The Austin Chronicle)
tl;dr I don't need to know the cop in question personally to know he's violated people's rights. That he's been a cop for more than a month makes it a certainty.

Your arguments are becoming more ridiculous with each post.

A major indicator of a problem is denial. Please don't shout at me. I am doing my best to help you. You are among friends here.
Now. When did you first start having these feelings?

Good news Monger! As of last night there is one less jacked booted thug waiting to stomp on your Constitutional Rights. He had a wife and four children, but that doesn't mean he couldn't have been a closet :censoredsign:

So the kid that almost beat his sister to death for being gay did it out of love?
You don't choose to be gay, but you can choose to a d*@k...

)O( ~ Namaste ~ )O(

That would be assault & battery, of course. But I'm sure he wasn't "afraid of her."
As far as what we choose and don't, maybe homosexuals don't choose what confused brain wiring they unfortunately received, but they can choose whether or not to sin.
