At least something will go on file. Otherwise we are just venting on websites that they do not care about.

It ain’t gonna happen.

I no longer trust police. They are bullies, hopped up with adrenaline and longing to show you ‘who’s the boss’. They think they are all ‘special forces’, and enter all residences as if they were SWAT team commandoes, with gun drawn, ready to kill anything in the house (which they often, unfortunately, do).

He was asked if he noticed that a lot of brothers were there. He said hell yes and I am glad of that sometimes.

Perplexed the interviewer asked “why?”, to which Pryor told this story: After one of my shows I shook hands with some of the inmates. One brother seemed different, so I asked “brother why are you here”. The brother replied “I shot everybody in the house I was burglarizing”. Shocked, Pryor asked “why did you shoot them all?” The felon replied “they waz all home” … so Pryor said he was glad some of the brothers where in the joint.

If only some policemen could conclude the same about their own.

So when do the citizen protection groups meet? out of control riot cops,traffic stop tazing, blue sky tuesday tazing. Whos’s the enemy here? If the officer’s life is so important they get to apply all manner of force to civilians before they figure out what’s going on perhaps is best for all of us if they just stay in the station?

In the interest of being “fair and balanced,” could you include, once in a while, a story of police rampaging in which the officer(s) are actually, duly punished for being generally out of control. (IF such stories exist.)

In Dolton, OH that was one officer and in NYC is was 15. That does not count the number of bullet used and unaccounted for. This guy shot and hit 24 times. Thats why I see it differently. But dead is dead including a broom stick up the rectum.

How about the New York police record. Didn’t they shoot that one guy about 89 times???

He needs training from the Dolton, OH cops. Shoot 24 times and still have a rational number. And by all means it will be rationalized as being rational.

Heck, that is not even a warm up when compared to NYC cops!
