NYPD - Once again, New York's 'finest' behaving like children.

[Skip8282]

Skip8282 here would fire half the police department.

Yeah that'd be a great move.

Obviously it would need to be controlled, but yeah, I'd go Reagan on their asses.

I see your still too much of a pussy to answer the question I've posed.

[blacken700]

what's your question ,are the cops behaving like children. Nooo. now which one are you criminal, thug or loser

[Soul Crusher]

 

[Skip8282]

I'm sorry that the only thing I can do is call you names.  Unfortunately, I'm too much of a pussy to provide a logical, reasonable, rational response to your question.

No problem, I understand.

[Skip8282]

C'mon...you've got to know I don't go that far.  He can strike a balance between the two.

Of course, this still has nothing to do with cops in uniform behaving like a bunch of children.

[blacken700]

I can't help myself I hate cops

not calling names just stating the facts 95% of your post are cop hating,95% is being generous it probably higher.so which one are you criminal, thug or loser

Definitely disrespectful, but I don't blame them.  In fact, I might have participated with them if I was there.  de Blasio earned this.  He is partly to blame for creating a climate of hate and intolerance for law enforcement.  He ran for office on an anti-cop platform, blamed the Garner death on "centuries of racism," and told the world that he teaches his son to be afraid of cops.  He shouldn't be surprised when his actions, combined with the protestors and race agitators, creates an environment that helps motivate someone to commit an act of violence.  

IMO, this is a form of peaceful protest.

They do such an effective job of it themselves, though. That's the problem. No one else could even begin to approach the point of hurting their reputation as much as they've hurt it themselves. It would be completely impossible.

[Jack T. Cross]

Cops did themselves in, and now they're looking for someone else to blame.

yeah, they don't even bother explaining the fckups they commit... it's just "oh, you dont have our back!"

Imagine if teachers or firefighters kept beating, framing, and occasionally killing people, and just kept neglecting the paperwork where they take any guilt lol.   We woudln't hear "but but you don't support the teachers!" if the teachers were fcking arresting people for hitting police cars, when video shows the cops actually hit him while he sat passenger in the car.

Yes, good cops do a good job.  But if a mayor wants to tell his kid to be careful around cops, because some of them are lying fckups, I think the only offended people are butthurt bitches to begin with. 

[JOHN MATRIX]

Hahahhahahah millions of fergusons nationwide riot, loot, burn, shut down highways, block malls, and shooting at cops, and not a peep.

But a few cops turn their backs to a anti-cop politician, AND OMG THEY ARE ACTING CHILDISH!!! 

The hypocrisy of the lefties knows no bounds.

I was just reading up on some of the police shit that's happened in LA over the last few years, and it would otherwise be unbelievable to anyone with a shred of faith in collective sanity.

Cannot believe your eyes, type things. One event after the next, and it's only ONE city.

Citizens everywhere know it and they internalize it. Not good for society.

If you're waiting to get bad citizens in order before you focus on bad cops, you are doing it backwards and you will die waiting. Hope that helps.

I disagree.  I don't live in NY, but I heard cops helped bring the crime rate down tremendously in NYC.  They should be commended for that.  The fact a comparative handful of cops are bad doesn't change anything.  I think we do a pretty good job nationwide of punishing cops when they become criminals. 

What those NYC cops don't deserve is to be demonized the way de Blasio has done.

COPS bad CRIMINALS good

It "doesn't change anything"? How do you figure?

Have to admit I haven't followed this particular situation closely. Exactly what did he do?

Because the number bad apples are small and do not overshadow all the good law enforcement does, including helping bring down the crime rate in NYC.  What's ironic is you anti-law enforcement people will be the first ones calling 911 when you have a problem. 

Exactly what I said earlier:  ran on an anti-cop platform, held a press conference and blamed the Garner death on centuries of racism, and told the world that he has to teach his son to be afraid of the cops.

It only undermines it, would you say?

I don't recall seeing any damning quotes, so that's why I ask. Would you say there are any quotes worth looking for?

Depends.  If you're looking for an excuse to dump on law enforcement, then yes a few bad apples spoil the bunch.  But if you understand that there are bad apples in every profession and that humans are imperfect and always make mistakes (or sometimes are just rotten), then no it does not. 

I don't know what you consider "damning quotes," so you'll have to check that out for yourself.

Did you consider anything he said to be damning by your own standard?

I blame the smartphone industry for putting video cameras in every phone. 

Let's also not forget the contribution of youtube, the internet in general and viewers' lying eyes.

If a cop suffocates a citizen in a forest without any witnesses, who can really say if the citizen was able to breathe or not?

Seriously, though, I think it's reasonable for cops and cop-sympathizers to be concerned that folks who are speaking out (including the mayor) are causing the mainstream public to feel that the police abuse issue is more widespread than it really is. 

However, if police abuse really is a rare thing, then I don't see why it's taboo for cops to come down like a ton of bricks on the "bad" cops without whom there wouldn't be the kind of situation we have today.

Come on, Erich.  You know better.  Garner wasn't suffocated.

[RRKore]

I think you're right that "suffocate" isn't exactly right...but I had grammar issues when trying to write that sentence using some form of the word "dog-pile". 

FWIW, I read a post from Coach earlier where he said that he thought that the cop that jumped on Garner should have been indicted.  I was shocked...
