Attorneys?

I blame the overly complicated directions to put on a condom.

I just got my stickers so I have no comment.

pics or it didn't happen.

my goal is to derail a anti-cop/cop bashing thread into a sticker posting thread.

They wonder why they get No respect.

The Army vet got it right when he was speaking in the first video linked. He stated that when he was in Iraq that if he or any of his Soldiers had done this to an unarmed insurgent that they would have been court-martialed and sent to Ft. Leavenworth. That is exactly right. Why do we hold our Soldiers to higher standards in combat zones than these police officers are being held to?

At least the citizens are protesting in a peaceful manner and not out looting and destroying property.

I agree that it appears that what occured here was very wrong but let's be very careful able sliding into a general cop bashing thread.

That was not my intent after reviewing my orginal post I woud like to state that my friends / fellow forum members that are leo's I'm sure are as infurated as I if not more so. Leo's as of late have enough to worry about with a negitive perception from the majority of the public without having to deal with a situation like this blackening their eye more. I appriciate the job they do and have the utmost respect for them, with that said with great power comes great responsability and the officers involved should be held responsable for what it was murder, not put on a paid vacation while the mayors office offers the victims family 900k in hush money.

notice how a lot of these incidents that we're hearing about that give such a black eye to law enforcement are happening in very liberal places like california, michigan, ohio, and pennsylvania?

This article states one officer had been injured previously by an assailant, lost an eye while on duty with LAPD. I just wonder if the alleged police surveillance will ever be made public? Secret government scares me...
