Wow: http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/01/09/police.kill.dog/index.html "Inside information is that you was involved" <snip> They give guns to these rednecks and call them cops?! Jesus H. Christ! Thank god I grew up in a nice Northeast Urban area! I would have never guessed the south was similar to third world countries!
no, nor from the deep south, however blind grouping of any group of people in my book is indicative of a closed, prejudiced mind...You are welcome to your opinions, thats what makes the world go 'round I shouldnt have posted at all.
aphie, C'mon man, you live in or near PG county, the jurisdiction that has been under Justice Department investigation for most of the last 20 years for police brutality and misconduct.
There are boneheaded cops in every police department in the country. Tennessee has no distinction there. As for the Northeast Aphie, didn't Abner Louima get sodomized up there by Officer Volpe?
Maybe the do gooders with the video cams could provide some footage of some of the 50,000 assaults committed on police officers each year. Just for shits and giggles. Of course that does not make very good news copy.

the question is how many of these assaults on cops were of their own doing, ie the cop "encouraged" or incited the assault because 90% of them have to act like the macho nuttbusters that they are. i'd like to see the answer to THAT question. :-/
I think southern cops are seen as racist and dumb because they are. I can't put much stock in crime statistics from cops about assualts on cops either. The make that stuff up to cover their own ass. It all started when he hit me back.... Max
