I know too much about the police and have seen them in action too often to have respect for them. Just cuz you live in your little white bread world where nothing ever goes wrong doesn't mean down here on the ground the police don't act like bullies, thugs, etc.

I could tell you stories, but you won't listen so what's the point?

My post was meant as a provocation, BTW.

Well, it worked!

A sure-fire sign that I'm completely without inspiration (or discipline) at work... When I try to engage myself in the neverending debates at the OT...

Never said the police don't act like bullies, thugs, etc. Just that most of them don't, and you shouldn't paint them all with the same brush. They're human.

Something tells me you'd throw a big fit if, say, Ned was generalizing black people -- yet here you are generalizing cops.

Police officers are not thugs by default, you and Ludd need to brush off that antisocial part of your personality and move on.

Ah!

Thanks.

You have a hard time with context, don't you?

Enough information was provided without knowing about the explosive belt.

The problem is you're not very insightful -- you're antisocial (I'm using this as a psychological term, not as an insult) and you jump to conclusions based on that.

Ah, don't diss yourself for debating in the OT, King Karl.

A level headed Swede is kind of a scarce ressource these days.

Thugs aren't human?

Dude, I know too many cops for you to be trying to "educate" me. I've seen too much stuff, not even having to do with demonstrations or politis, but just walking home or waiting for a bus.

I agree with Asher

Perhaps they treat you like sh*t because you make your disrespect for police in uniform so obvious?

I'd do the same if some punk like you didn't respect the life I put on the line to serve & protect.

Who said they treat me like ****. I'm scared of them, so I always do what they say, exactly they way they say it. I said I'd seen ****, not that **** happened to me.
