[quote=Blogstar][quote=scaredyclassic]I agree we need police.
I agree society should respect the police.
I believe police should always be honest and follow the law.
I believe they should receive the full brunt of the law when they dont.
I want full transparency and recording of all police interactions.
I believe all drugs should be legal and it is I’m moral to cage someone who has a drug problem.
I am glad to see at least some skepticism that police are always acting in our best interedt.
Is any of this really all that controversial except the drug positiin. Not sure what you’re so tweaked about?[/quote]
Not really tweaked. More fatigued. Seems like we are just talking around each other. Time to move on. BTW, every time I have ever been up for jury selection, the prosecution throws me off. I am with you on everything you just posted, against three strikes etc. At first I just started playing devil’s advocate here, then I begin to think, wow, There is a lot of misunderstanding here, the problem is bigger than bad acts by cops. Couldn’t open any discussion on that at all, just more example of bad acts thrown back, it’s all very onesided . Once you are told you are a wrong side of things after all that, well it’s easy to realize this is just all exhausting![/quote]
OK. I see that. I apologize. i agree the problem is bigger than just bad cops. it’s probably just a symptom of a sick society.
shoot, whats the answer? hell if I know. Id like to see a less mean society, one where there is no way in hell anyone can see that videotape of the way that indian guy was treated as in any way remotely acceptable. Course, I’d also liek to see less meanness on the part of the criminals also…but we have a giant machine that seems designed to esnure a portion of our population will be raise din meanness and graduate to to prison and churns them out even meaner and less employable and apart from society with every prison stay…
it’s a machine of horror. the polcie are perhaps just the face of the machine…
