I don't think that should be the case. A lot of us here obviously feel like these people's rights were violated. "It didn't happen to me" is not a good reason to not get upset or take some sort of action (as in writing the APD, newspaper editor, sharing the story with others, etc.).

The police caught a bank robber, no one was hurt, and everyone of you is bitching about it...

I don't believe "bitching" is the write word. A lot of people have brought up some very good points on the subject. Discussing a topic is not "bitching". If it were, wouldn't you be "bitching" about others "bitching"?

I bet you're the same people that bitch when someone gets away... Or you're the same ones that bitch when the police don't help you out.. Right away.. When you demand it.. Cuz you're important..

Maybe, maybe not. But that's quite an assumption, and really doesn't contribute anything to the discussion.

Let's just say... For shits and giggles... The Aurora Police didn't do what they did... Robber gets away... Car jacks a mother and her two children... Now he has hostages... They corner him... He freaks out... Kills all three of them...

Now you're all going to bitch because they didn't catch the guy at the intersection when they had a chance...

As others have pointed out, lets say that the guy shot everybody who was innocent while they were detained in handcuffs sitting on the curb. What's your point?


Here's a plan... All of you that are bitching about the way this was handled, and HAVE NOT BEEN ONE... Go be a cop for a day. Just ONE DAY. Then, if you're not too busy crying, come back and tell us how you feel.
I think most if not all of the people here have a great deal of respect for police officers. But that doesn't mean that they get a free pass when they do something wrong.
