Before much longer I expect it to be illegal to film police "in the performance of their duty". It already is in some jurisdictions and "citizen journalists", like the guy who filmed the murder of Eric Garner, are routinely harassed by the police and even falsely imprisoned.

This is the sort of knee-jerk thoughtless response that undercuts any validity your perspective can contribute, and it fuels the scepticsm toward equitable law enforcement in general.

The Eric Garner killing is perhaps the most unambiguous case of murder by cop of all those we've seen recently. Your obscenely expressed support for the police in this matter has deprived you of all credibility on this issue. You should just shut the fuck up when this subject comes up from now on.

Geez, even our police dispatchers will blow you crap for no reason. We used to have real community policing, cops walking neighborhoods, etc. Not anymore. Guess the PD rather play catch up, putting out fires rather than prevent them.

It gives them more opportunities to use their toys, not to mention lethal force.

I am so, so tired of dumbasses.
Yet, the first thing most all of you say when someone suggests that black actions cause some of their problems is that white people do it to.

It works both ways.

I like the way Spinners use total numbers that do not represent that black Americans are 12-13% of the population.
