Bad night to wax ironic, i guess.

Zeke has stated (in the other topic) that if you impede, you make yourself the enemy of the police.

If you're going to paraphrase, try accuracy.

If you impede an officer [in the carrying out of his duties], you are -- by definition and with good reason -- an enemy of police and civil society.

That's just the math.

And don't lay the passive resistance crap out for scrutiny: I think we've already established this kid wasn't acting all MLK?

I'm sorry, I missed where we had any evidence that the kid assaulted anyone, other than hearsay.

Dangerous word, enemy. It negates the person it is applied to. They may have rights, they may even be great people who deserve a good life, but once one names them enemy, one tends to cease to care. The name 'enemy' reduces them to a problem, or a target. It takes away their humanity.

And you seem willing to apply it summarily, for slight cause.

Actually, it's absolutely clear to me that if you aren't in uniform you make yourself an enemy of the police. If you're black you may as well hide in the basement.

I'm going to go way out on a limb here and say I believe Don was being sarcastic.

Pio was mixed-up, it's been sorted, all is well. Miscues happen in our text world.

I was on the fence, but seeing how they do business in Ferguson it's apparent the authorities are used to doing pretty much anything they please without having accountability.
We had a town not too far from here that ran like that until the State attorney general took it over and replaced the entire admin, sending some to prison.

My apologies if so, his many defences of Putin seem devoid of irony.
