NYPD, doing its job of crushing democracy.

I'd love to see those violent officers in handcuffs. They won't get away with that nonsense forever.

@timmiet47321 "You're so vain, you prob'ley think this [quote] is [from] you." Your opinions don't seem that deep or well thought out. You don't seem to have a very firm understanding of what I am saying to you or what your actual stance is. Instead you dwell on semantics and other minutia despite the fact I have asked you pointed questions, given you direct examples and even set a few traps for you. You're so bent on being right you don't even notice that you've agreed with me.

[timmiet47321]

@elbowbiter1 If you put some thing in quotes while referring to me, you're quoting me. Regardless, there is no argument here. All you've done with your posts is added your own personal perceptions about police and none of them have been accurate...even remotely. And I said the job od cops is one of the MOST unique and stressful...again you used my words inaccurately. I have neither wavered in my position nor provided any personal opinions as you have throughout our discussions.

[elbowbiter1]

@timmiet47321 I was breaking up the two quotes mine and yours. I didn't have the room to apply the appropriate brackets. Did I misquote you or myself... absolutely not, unless you are being and absolutely obtuse dill weed hell bent on continuing an inane argument despite having lost it from the get go. All jobs are unique and stressful and require a specific balance. Name one job that is not unique and stressful? You do know that stress is relative too right?

[timmiet47321]

@elbowbiter1 You quote me twice and neither of those can be found in any of my posts. Stop misquoting me! I'll put it in simple terms you can understand. Cops come from all walks of life. Despite training, orders and laws, not all of them make good officers. It is one of the most unique and stressful jobs in the World. It takes a unique person to be able to successfully balance the good, bad and indifferent in an effort to survive physically and emotionally.

[elbowbiter1]

@timmiet47321 So to you, "certain types of people become cops" and "it takes a unique type of person to become a cop" isn't the same thing. Furthermore, do you think I had room to put down all the attributes one needs to be a police officer? That's a side show that doesn't lend any weight to your scatter botched stance on the topic at hand. Lastly, why do you think that: if someone isn't engaging in misconduct that he then therefore is behaving in a beneficial way to society? Think

[timmiet47321]

@elbowbiter1 No, I don't agree with you. First, most cops rarely engage in misconduct. Unfortunately, those tend to be the only acts that bring the job of a police officer to light; albeit a very negative one. That said, the attributes you list would not a good cop make. Those attributes are more fitting a soldier than a big city cop. Big city cops need to be analytical, intelligent and both pysically and psycholgically fit. You're still lost and naive about cops...period.

[elbowbiter1]

@timmiet47321 So you are agreeing with me now? Agreed, it does take an extremely unique person to balance everything that job throws at you. A UNIQUE person, your words, not mine. What attributes would this unique person have to have. Hm... would they need to be someone that: Can memorize rules/procedures, is ok with authortarian command structures, a team player, physically fit... etc. I think you are seeing my point of view from a very closed minded negative place.

[timmiet47321]

@elbowbiter1 It is clear from your posts that you know even less about cops than ole' Brandon. It's apparent that you are closed minded and look at most cops in a negative light. And you're wrong about most people gravitating toward certain careers. The majority of us don't wind up performing jobs that fit us most. Perhaps that's the problem with the police. It takes an extremely unique person to balance everything that job throws at them of the course of 30 years.

[elbowbiter1]

@timmiet47321 LoL I just read the string of posts under my initial comment. You are a piece of work. Youll even argue with the guy you were trying to defend because you accidently sent a comment to him instead of me. That makes you a special kind of head case suited for the police. Did I say that cops are a bunch of scared lazy people? That's right I didn't. I said, "cops are the people too scared or lazy to think for themselves" then I went on to qualify that further with brandon.
