They just did it in Worcester, Ma. They dragged a guy out of a car and beat him to death because he was smoking a joint. Also, look up “Rachel Hoffman.” I’m not talking about justified shootings. I’m talking about instances where the cops create a charged situation and then either react badly or overreact. Although I’m defending cops here they system that has been set up is very attractive to bullies and other violent personalities. That’s what we need to change.
Translated to normal english this sounds to me like you want the cops to be peacekeepers whose interference in everyday life is kept at the minimum level required to keep the peace. That’s been my whole point all along. Don’t hate the cops, change the system and redefine their job. The war on drugs has turned them into predators instead of peacekeepers. But isn’t that the govt. way? Create a fear so the people ask for their own oppression?
Your dates are shemales? Freak. As if power trips and ego don’t have an effect on other occupations. Bankers and credit card companies tuck it more to the populace than cops do. When is the last time you spoke to a customer service rep of any company who went out of their way to be helpful? Oil companies? Plumbers? College Professor’s? Doctors? On and on…..everyone is a human – and regardless of occupational choice, there are going to be times where emotion takes over.
Okay – well my thought on this, given the comments posted here, that you could replace today’s police with Benedictine Monks, and you will still have them berated at every turn – and somewhere along the way, even a monk is going to be fed up with constant quarterbacking, back talk, threats to family and physical assault, that a few here and there are going to do something stupid. I realize that there are a few cops who are not too bright out there – we’ve all met them before.
Good grief…you do a great job Dave, except for the completely inappropriate use of semi-naked women. What is your problem?
Please stop.
I was talking about the BART incident. See it here

I disagree. If police duties consisted of maintaining peace and dealing with crimes that have actual victims most people would be glad to have them around. As it stands they are used as predators, taught to fear and suspect everyone they meet and taught that they have the right to make demands of people and that those who stand up for their rights must be hiding something. Again, this is a systemic problem and won’t change until the people get sick enough of it and change the system.
I think he was implying that the gov’t was cowardly.
The only one dating shemales is you. Cops are known for being more likely to be gay or into BDSM.
No one else is complaining. Lighten up, and don’t be such a prude.
I’m sorry Dave. I hate to give you a hard time, but when you say things like, “As much as I like Bill Maher…”
Bill Maher has some viewpoints that would be considered Libertarian, but he also has many viewpoints that would be considered liberal/progressive. He’s a self proclaimed genius&narcissist that looks down on everyone that doesn’t think his way.He thinks almost everyone is stupid except himself & a select few others.He’s also a board member of PETA.Why do you seemingly admire this guy??
Is that a fact or a wish? Even if I did – and even if I was gay – or the fact you opine that cops are gay….do you have a problem with that? If you didn’t – why would you feel the need to inform me? Or are you making a pathetic attempt to insult me. If so….there is much work on your part to be done. Soooooo overused.
Agreed, Good work, keep it up :-)
3:18 …. what did he say?? this is really dull, and not interesting. don’t watch
It was rhetorical.
You don’t have to agree with someone to like them.
Now you’ve done it…everyone from here on out will watch to the end for the gratuitous public domain hotties…..
What is there to like about him? I’m all ears.
f. scott fitzgerald, not orwell
stupid commercials ruin it im outa here.
There is only one truth. Might makes right.
That.s the law of Nature. And it always will be like that.
All the rest, kwaps behavior, are deriving from what the powers that be have on their agenda.
Everyone can go to war armed to teeth and fed with tals about Amercan under Jesus.
Bite.
Cops are (always?) wrong at what they do? They only have *some* kind of courage?
If that’s really the case, I’m really happy of not living in your country.
he is dead ass wrong COPS are people who were bullied or were bullies they become COPS to kick ass its a low paying job that people who are edcuated wiil not take,hear in the south all you need to become a COP is an attitude and the desire to hurt peopleCOPS who live hear are liveing in public or low income houses BUT they have the power WE have as a people have none.
Most Cops = Sociopaths attracted to positions of power for personal glory & to exercise physical / mental abuse to others for kicks / pleasure.
