First .. Read the article.
Second .. Injustice Everywhere

For boot-lickers, there will never be such a thing as Police Brutality .. At least until it comes to them.

Who said there was no such thing as police brutality? If you're just going to make up your own issues to argue against, you could probably save everyone some time and just debate yourself in front of a mirror.

A picture does not make it an epidemic, daily accounts of police brutality coupled with evidence make it an epidemic.

That said, one incidence of murder by domestic law enfrocement is one too many. Especially when the authorities response is to try and cover it up instead of reassure the public and remove the bad apples from the barrel before they corrupt others.

Sure, one instance of an incompetent doctor leaving a sponge in a patient is one too many. One instance of an teacher having sex with a student is one too many.

That's all well and good, but cops are humans, and last time I checked, humans are rather unreliable creatures. So crap is always going to happen. There are over 800,000 cops in the U.S.

Link please. (Waiting to find out that they heard screams inside after being called for a distrubance or something else being dishonestly represented.)

P.S. Read the article posted later and gee....a couple fighting outside tried to scoot inside their apartment when the cops came to see what's up. Seriously, you have a PUBLIC fight and try to run into your own little "diplomatic immunity zone" when they show up. Heck, they didn't even have the door closed and the police are trying to get to the bottom of the situation....

I was right, this is being dishonestly portrayed as if the people were just sitting at home and the police just broke the door down.

We have the boot-lickers that excuse everything and the scumbags that blame everything.

Still isn't an epidemic. How many people are killed in hospitals every year simply because of negligence and incompetence?

I just accept that everything involving humans is going to be flawed. There is no "epidemic," there is simply humanity at work - good and bad.

Like I said, over 800,000 cops in this country, of course there is going to be misconduct, only an extremely naive person would actually believe that any facet of society can be scrubbed of misconduct.

But, by all means, I'm sure whining on the internet some more will definitely make a difference.

Damn gestapo thugs! Harrumph... oOoooooh, prisonplanet.com has a new article on FEMA concentration camps!
