I GUESS HE'S NOT A HERO. just think if he was a rag-head, the pigs would b running 4 there life's...man this world is gone anti-white.

[greataff]

@chadberry75 Ah the reverse-racism card, not one talked about too often. Letting the "ragheads" build buildings to worship their idea of god or not murdering them after 9/11 is not the same as standing up for a soldier who resisted arrest.

(The preceding statement does not reflect Great Affinity's opinion, we denounce the use of "raghead" and anti-white rhetoric)

didnt the guy who beat the soldier up get a promotion to weapons instructor?

[greataff]

@ELFHUNTER50 Yes

I love my country......but I hate my government

[greataff]

@cuzairsoftisghey Good, but this is local government, the kind most libertarians, conservatives love. You Commie!

(This is not a serious comment, have a little levity please)

@0688223 He could have taken all of those fuckers with his bear hands, but if some good cops show up and they see two dead cops on the floor, and one man standing...Well even a trained soldier cant outrun a bullet

Wow is this what this man was fighting for & risking his life for over seas? When will this police brutality stop? Seriously, how is it that cops are getting away with this in our legal system? What is being done about this? And why is it when everyone clearly sees that it was police brutality the sheriff/captain/TSA or whoever always releases a statement where they say that it was within the protocol or the bounds of the policy? Maybe we need a policy change...or stop covering up for dirty cops

[MsContenteditor]

@gatotres7620 You know what I shoudl do that!!! At least they are doing something about things that are wrong with our country. Unlike me just talking here. So, I agree with you I should get a tent and get to one of those "occupy ^(*%^&$**((&*#)(&)&#)# " gatherings. Notice how police are trying to discredit them by saying that there are fire hazards due to heaters in tents and one sexual assualt. People get sexually assaulted at work, so should I not work? Should I now not go to work?

[gatotres7620]

@MsContenteditor No. Your misinformed and being sarcastic when you should not be in a serious situation. What the soldier was asked to do he did not agree with but it was a legal and lawful request/order. Most Police Officers served our country too in the military. He should have done what he was asked and complain, or take legal recourse later.

Continue to look at half the story and get back to your tent for the next 'Occupy' gathering.

[greataff]

@MsContenteditor No one is advocating that, probably not even @gatores7620. However some context, if that girl is unarmed she'd be a moron to not do what someone tells her to if she's at gun point, by the same token she'd be a moron NOT to call an attorney the next day.

I fight the Cops everyday where it matters, in court!

Better Call Saul!

@gatotres7620 so just because they have guns, nightsticks and taser you should do whatever they want? So a girl is suppose to perform oral on an officer that stops her on a dark isolated road because he has a gun and he is a cop? Or should she also allow him to rape her vaginally as well since he is a cop and has a gun, nightstick and taser? I bet in your head it would be ok, because you don't think for yourself. you just do what the oppressors want you to. This is why cops abuse their power!

[bruin03]

@Darthzala it already happens.

[gatotres7620]

It appears Mr. Deci and KTNV may be telling a portion of the story to me. The news flashed what is probably just a portion of Metro policy and leave out the entire policy it appears. Looks like Mr. England argued with Security and then Metro got involved and then he argued with them.. Does the Veteran feel entitled and want special treatment?

When an official asks for a boarding pass with a gun, nightstick, and taser, I would hand it over then ask question later.

The generation we have now is a bunch of spoiled PUSSIES!!! Thanks to their parents for raising them that way. I will gladly donate$100.00 for a plane ticket to get these ASSHOLES
