Everybody hates cops, until they need them.


so that means the public need to put up with any bad behaviour by cops, no matter what?


Didn't realize Reed Richards had an account here.

Because that was a helluva stretch.

This is the key here - it's fucking bananas to me that police in Arizona are consistently egregious as they are. Numbers back it up, video backs it up. The brazen nature of it makes it all the worse.

That's where I, a message board poster who doesn't frequent that area but pays attention to the news, find it completely understandable that someone who wants to pay to chill with some coffee in the oppressive Arizona summer might get the nerve to get these cops to fuck off. And then find it embarrassing when the station releases some garbage like they did. That's why even though it "might" have been some petty, paranoid shit and these cops did nothing wrong, I have no sympathy for them. Look in the mirror.


Okay, I see where you're coming from. Specifically within the context of Arizona Police, without knowing more about that particular District there may be reason to think that locals would be uncomfortable. As long as we don't act like that extrapolates to the whole of the country I think that's a reasonable concern.

It's so great that we as a society have decided it's okay to openly complain about a specific group being together in public because a small percentage of said group causes trouble.

Richard Spencer is going to think Christmas came early.


imagine thinking you're cute comparing paranoid racsim to a very justified fear of cops.

Justified paranoia

If people are justified in being afraid of getting shot by cops, then they're much more justified in being afraid of getting shot by blacks.

I know that i speak for all liberals here when i say that there shouldnt be any police at all in the US. every police force needs to be disbanded. we are better off without them. If we fixed the root cause of crime (which is poverty), all crime would be eliminated.

Hey, just looking out for you. I figured maybe if you were more aware of what people were saying and not accusing everybody of paranoid racism you would get suspended less often.

nah, its obvious what you were implying, just like its obvious the moderation staff doesn't like its racial makeup and what it may mean openly discussed. It's why they straw manned my point, then suspended me

LOL, nice try. You constantly insult the mod staff for being "almost entirely white" and imply that they're inept and unable to properly do their jobs due to their race.

If someone said a black man couldn't properly do his job due to being black, you'd be the first to have a shit fit.

I most certainly did assume the staff was all white.

where you (and error and company) fail to understand is that I didnt accuse them of being inept because of them being white. I made a point that a racially homogeneous enforcement group of a website that deals with a lot of racially sensitive issues may be susceptible to blind spots. This, predictably was turned into "frisbeedude thinks the mod staff are card carrying racists! ban him!"

hell, I even presented the scenario of a mostly black female staff handling moderations and how that would be perceived

It's because they have immunity... The cops can pretty much do whatever they want..
.Can't find a reason to pull you over... They will do it and tell you, you have a dirty license plate..

Don't consent to a search.. and all of a sudden they smell weed.

Also five cops? Don't they usually go out in 2s? I would assume they were up to something too.
