Cop in my town got busted for littering.

I'm sure they were aiming for that crib.

The next time someone in a group you belong to has a horrible accident that hurts someone, I'll remember that it wasn't all of you. You are being facetious while I am being sincere. Now: justify the double standard.

So that flashbang was only meant to hit one or two people. :hmm:

Just like gas or smoke grenades, flash bangs aren't meant to "hit" anyone. They make a bang and a flash to startle, hence, the name. You are thinking of a fragmentation grenade.

I really do hope that some of your online personas are not a reflection of who you are in real life. It really surprises me that so many of you fall into the "cops are bad" or "cops are heroes" camps - it's actually quite frightening. Anyone defending this guy simply because he was "trolled" or using this guy as an example to attack all other cops is really demonstrating a lack of critical thought/intelligence - and since you're posting it online, you're preserving the evidence of your ineptitude for generations to come.

Not sure who you are saying is on the "all cops are heros" side of this, but I didn't say he was a hero for anything like this. I said he probably should not have lost his job and I said that without having seen the video.

The thing is, I am one who has actually kicked a passenger out of his car to pick up their litter. More than once, actually. I feel very strongly about it, and yet I still don't feel that he should have lost his job. All the people screaming that cops aren't above the law need to honestly ask themselves when someone they know was last fined in a similar situation (tossing something out the window). Now, assuming you can even think of an incident, was that person fired from their job? No? Then police ARE held to a higher standard! Imagine that. You have nothing to complain about here. Move along. Stop talking about flash bangs in cribs and killing cops and all that because it isn't relevant. This cop already got the short end of the stick even if you think he deserved it.

I wasn't referring to you and not necessarily this thread specifically. There are very few black and white issues in this world, yet an inordinate amount of people on this forum (and unfortunately in real life too) seem to only see in those two shades. Cops are good. Cops are bad. Democrats good. Republicans bad. And so on and so on.

If its too hot in the kitchen get out...same applies for being a cop....

I don't even know what this means. The camera guys were dicks. If this particular officer was never born they'd still be dicks, just to a different officer. They suck and I despise them. That's my point.

yes i went a too far.

the streets of anytown usa are not the streets of iraq.

police do NOT need vehicles that stand up to mines.

they were doing ok with the standard issue cruises.

Did someone's ipod just shuffle "Fuck Tha Police"? Only good cop is a dead cop? You're a piece of shit dude. Literally. When the hell did shit like that get approval to be said on here?

Your idea that concisely standing firm on one side of an issue is "demonstrating a lack of critical thought/intelligence" while yourself having almost zero information to reach that conclusion shows, wait for it... a lack of critical thought and/or intelligence.

It really surprises me...it's actually quite frightening...

Or maybe you are just a huge pussy.

I don't have enough information to say for sure.

It's 56 degrees outside and I am shivering, so ya, huge pussy.

I'm not convinced.
