I was the one that closed the thread. It wasn't to stick up for the cop.

The thread had no real discussion. It was headed nowhere but sarcastic remarks and far fetched comparisons. So I closed it, as I didn't see any viable path for that thread to become a valuable discussion. I only saw a downside of it branching off to a couple of cop bashing posts and getting closed anyways.

Yes, sometimes our moods change how lenient and patient we are. We are only human, it happens to the best of us. Nobody is getting banned, so don't worry about that.
