Sorry... You're right... "Crying like a bitch" would have been better... "ALL THOSE PEOPLE SHOULD SUE!!!!" That's bitching... My opinion. Or am I not entitled?
And really? FBI and Cops all over with guns... You think the dude is going to shoot everyone out there in cuffs?
So much respect that the only things you see on here are about the bad things they do... And about how they should be fired... And about how they're all just a bunch of gang members...
You're right. All of you love cops..
I'm sure there's a good number that do have respect, but the ones that dont seem to out number those that do..
But hey, I'm just discussing.![]()
So along that line, and I'm not attacking you, I'm attacking your line of thinking, what if you saw on the news tonight, a blatant disregard for someones constitutional rights by a police agency, but they weren't all too upset when all was said and done... you shouldn't be upset, right? Ya know, because it wasn't you.![]()
I see instances like this and they get my blood temperature up, not to boiling point, not yet at least, but it makes me angry that this behavior is allowed. Again, sitting on a curb in handcuffs while the PD searches for a suspect who may still be in the area, is not a concern of safety, but a concern of right and wrong. While it may be in the neat little gray area, still makes it feel pretty wrong when I have done nothing to deserve this. The fact that I didn't personally experience this doesn't change the fact that something wrong happened to my fellow Americans (remember WE the people, not I the person) by those who are supposed to uphold the law and lead by example, and I am awake enough to realize this and be angry about it.

So you are capable of knowing folks emotions from reading plain text? Kudos to you....
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Whether or not the people that were stopped complain is irrelevant. This is about liberties being abridged and eroded.

Nobody said you're not entitled to an opinion. Don't try to make it sound like you're being victimized.
And the fact that no one talks about the good things cops do on here is not true. The bad posts do outnumber the good posts, that is true. But police officers are not above reproach. And there's a difference between love and respect. Just because someone doesn't love or even like police officers doesn't equate to disrespect.
And I hope we all keep discussing.![]()

Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
Like you already said.. totally different..
But I'll play
Nope I wouldn't be. The cops had more of a tip other then " in the area" and besides the odds of 5 of the same car being in the same place at the same time are astronomical .
Look the real point is that stopping everyone "in an area" at gun point is just over the top. and to add to it... the "tactic" didn't even work . .they caught the guy hours later somewhere else. they can;t even say "well we got our man so it's ok" instead they did all of they FOR NOTHING! ( well ok not true .. they proved he wasn't there)
