He was acquitted. It was stated the floor was sticky and wet, however, he doesn’t seem to be slipping or losing his balance at all? Shame, shame on each of the officers in that restaurant that stood by and watched this disgusting excuse of a “cop” injure a woman to this extent for what? Trying to watch over her niece?

And to think this animal is out there on the streets – lord help us all.

Come on Riff. You missed a few like “Bush loving neo-cons” or “baby seal clubers.” The correct analysis is exactly what you said it was. To say that neo-cons are authoritarians doesn’t seem to be much of an stretch in view of Abu-Graib and Guantanamo. BTW we’re not bitter, we’re like tiny little furry mammals scurrying around happily in the woods awaiting the end of the dinosaurs by a meteor of their own making.

On the last of your observations (“Jerk should be fired and fined”), how’s incarceration suit you?

Question: Let’s try and gauge proportionate use of force by a law enforcement officer using an admittedly unrealistic hypothetical: Upset 120 pound female and family member of an assault victim who is accused of no wrong doing takes exception to blasé attitude of police officer investigating assault claim. When she voices her concern and grazes the male 185 pound officer’s clothing with her hand, she is lifted from the ground and slammed onto a concrete floor face first resulting in traumatic brain injury and consequential loss of memory. Other officers at the scene, when confronted by the FBI, concede that the 38 year old officer used excessive force. Victim is a citizen in a democracy, and officer has sworn to uphold the law and implicitly to protect the public like the victim in our hypo. Appropriate force? Criminal charges against whom?

Answer: If you answered, that he Yonkers Police Department found the use of force reasonable and that local DA pressed charges against the victim of the assault/battery for disturbing the peace, give yourself a good ol’ neo-con that-a-boy and apply for citizenship in Burma. You have won the authoritarian of the year award. Congratulations!

Here’s my personal posting policy for this blog. If someone seems sincere I try to answer. If they are not willing to engage in a reasonable discussion I quit posting to them.

For the other people who are just spewing hate, personal attacks and statements devoid of evidence, or not open to evidence, then I don’t respond at all.

I feel latter types may be posting to keep us thinking about them, and nothing else.

whooliebacon,

Loved the bin laden post!
