Who in that thread said it was OK for the cops to abuse their power?

people in this thread seem to condone then cops actions and say the guy deserved what happened to him for being an asshat.

The guy took the time to stop and yell at a cop in the middle of the night simply because he hates them. Personally, I wish the cops had shot the son-of-a-bitch.

Would have resulted in one less moron in the world.

if he had stopped him right there and written him a ticket for interfering with a traffic stop, i would have no problem with that. it's the abuse of the cops power afterwards that i don't like.

The cops did not know if they were dealing with a drunk or dope fiend.

Did you really get that impression from reading it? It sounded more like simple revenge to me.

It was 3am, what would you expect to be dealing with if someone pulled over in the middle of their trip simply to yell crap at you?

this thread has nothing to do with trolling or anything. yes, what he did was dumb, but i'm surprised by the number of people that think its ok for a cop to abuse his power to get back at someone. there's no excuses for that. it's unprofessional.

yea, would anybody please explain to me what trolling even is?

Honestly people, I am usually for real when I talk on this forum, so yes I am this ****ed up

I havent personally had any trouble with cops so i have no reason to be mad at them. I do think it is neat to stretch your rights to their limits though.

My reason was because of what another officer did to me, but you're right, its probably not good to generalize against the police as a whole

I am being truthful, that IS what happened.

done something funny? like insult him? I tried, and it just made things worse

If you spent less time being an asshat you'd have plenty of time to search for that elusive poontag that you're always pining over.

Well compared to you he probably is.

Hey now, just because you are waving around your power as an "elite member" doesn't mean you can put other people down. They say people build power, wealth, or have nice cars, or in your case putting other people down to compensate for the lack of ... (do I need to finish the sentence?)

You expect to get real answers about stupid stuff from ATOT. That's a big "issue".

The only remedy is to get some poontang. Sorry, you'll have this issue for life.

Maybe skywalker66 just has a boring life. He needs some excitement in his life so he harasses cops and does other odd things to get his adrenaline rushing. :confused:

Skywalker66, maybe it's the lack of social interactions that make you act this way... and getting by everyday in solitary confinement.


Anyways, cops definitely can be a$$holes. I personally don't like police officers for the most part.. but that's just from my experience.

After reading through skywalker66's incoherent story I have come to the following conclusions:

1. Skwalker66 is indeed an idiot as suggested by M4H.

2. The cops did not act properly (assuming his story is accurate).

3. Skwalker66 needs to get a freaking clue.

So to you, "DA MAN" is a socially inept jackass with no concept of how the real world works?

Maybe if he gets arrested he can find a new significant other in prison.

Like Bubba, Tyrone, Big Leroy, or Tattoo.
