So...because we were not there we have no reason to worry about our rights as citizens? An abuse of power and mistreatment of fellow citizens should be ignored by anyone who is not involved?

Hmm... Sure. I suppose you're right.. But if you're gonna do that... You shouldn't be mad at the COPS.. Just the one cop that made the order to detain. The rest were just following orders...

It upsets me with everyone involved. Any officer there can step up and tell his fellow officers if he/she thinks someting is right or wrong.


By your statements above I could surmise that you would be ok if Obama ordered a nuke strike in El Paso, TX, and because you were not involved or hurt in any way, you would be ok with it.

I don't live in Texas. Nor do I know anyone that lives in Texas. I do know this though... There is a show my mom tells me about called "Big Rich Texas." That show alone would make me not care if a nuke went off in Texas.

I expected this response to be honest. Because you have no relations there and come to your own conclusions of a state from a T.V. show you have a complete diregard for human life.



How has anyone in this thread directly told anyone involved how they should feel? Not one person in this thread has posted they were there, and I doubt anyone who has posted is in contact with anyone that was in order to tell them how to feel.

More than one person said that the people involved should be upset and sue... Go back and read. That's telling those involved how to feel.

Yes, they stated their opinion. However, last time I checked, a person stating their opinion on an internet forum about someone does not generate any alerts out of thin air revealing what was said or telling them how they should feel.



A violation of rights is worth it to catch 4 criminals? Now you are sayng it is ok to violate the rights of innocent people in order to catch the few bad ones...wow.

Are you mad we dropped two nukes on Japan? I mean... All those innocent people we killed to kill just a few bad ones...

Comparing a war to a loss or abuse of our civil rights?!?!

I understand you are getting a good laugh from the posts in this thread. What I find sad and laughable myself is your complete lack of understanding of what you are reading and your complete disregard of your own rights.

I understand it all more than you know... You just assume I don't...
I only base my opinion off of what you are posting.


I just want you all to know... I still love all of you...

Hey guys, there's a drunk driver on I25 RIGHT NOW!

Everyone, stop, get out, and blow.

These tactics are now here to stay. Not sure how far they will go but the police have a precedent. Where does it end? A whole street, block, area of a city?

Not even close to the same thing... Nice try though.

Oh, but it is. I will bet cash someone would blow over .08, therefore catching the bad guy and saving a mom and kids.

No. It's not... It's not a felony. But again.. Nice try.

Fine. There is a felon with a gun on I25.

The point is, if you think the Aurora incident is OK, where is the line and when does it get crossed?

Whether or not the people that were stopped complain is irrelevant. This is about liberties being abridged and eroded.

THIS!

To your first point....they had a description of the robbery victim in your example, they had no description of the robber or his verhicle in this case. Moot point.

To your second example....again you have a felon in a KNOWN location, no guessing, they know FOR SURE he is there. Again, in this case, they went off of an anonymous tip and had no idea if he was there at all, which he wasn't.

Yes, they did what they thought was right, but as it turns out sometimes, their choice is wrong. Police make mistakes, I have a lot in my family and they admit the same. They are human to!

I agree, no one was hurt. However, the fact they potentially put all of those people at risk, and violated certain rights, is still not right.

No justification will make a wrong "right". Wrong is simply "wrong".
