NYPD Cops Outta Control

[ErikJ972]

"I don't know if he did anything wrong or not."
He didn't. That was established. In fact, 88% of those stopped during stop and frisk did nothing wrong.
So because cops "go on hunches" they have the right to throw racial slurs at 17 year olds?

You're obsessed.

By the way, while we're on the topic, what are your thoughts on violent protests and vandalism and looting against innocent bystanders in African-American communities as a response to police enforcement? (see: Ferguson, Missouri, last night) Just curious.

Erik, now that you're finished harassing Fisherman Bob, DO NOT make me the object of your obsession. I'm out.

I'm trying to figure out who Islander_fan is/was. Only been here for barely two months and already stirring the pot (read: shIt) in such a short amount of time on things of a political/racial nature?

Things that make you go: Hmmmmm . . . .

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Looting is terrible and two wrongs don't make a right. But a second wrong in no way negates or diminishes the first wrong.

[ErikJ972]

Harassing FishermanBob? LOL. I responded to him once with a different viewpont. That's harassing?
I'm actually genuinely interested how someone can read the article I posted and listen to the audio and then feel "more sorry" for the police. And I don't understand how the fact that they have to operate on hunches explains this. I wasn't trying to harass anyone.
But you're out anyway...so bye.
And Liza...you're a fool not worth responding to. You've joined Goth as the 2nd person worthy of the ignore button.

Yes, it's hard to engage and easy to ignore. I'd probably go with the easier choice, too. I don't blame you.

[ErikJ972]

Correct. It's so much easier to ignore a centrist, libertarian, bww stalker than engage them. This will be our last interaction. :)
