Dirty tricks, TJ?

Post Vietnam stunted masculinity in an environment where folks who were defeated (for whatever reason) were looking to beat something besides their wives?

Great bullshit comparison.

If I were you, Zeke, I'd limit how 'personal' I got around here....

I'd take your indignant attitude to the guy making the linear relationship about officers, why they take the job and the specifically directed nature of the class.

I don't have time for it.

You need to take that back Zeke. A company does not fail due to the actions of it's employees.

But failure for ANY reason generates a a mindset, one TJ callously tries to exploit tying "dirty tricks" and a subset of individuals attending class to conduct them (in his eyes).

Knee-jerk reaction merely validates the point.

Now that I know she was only in the area a few days I doubt that too.

However I do know from listening to cops tell their war stories, that they do deliberately follow and tailgate people to try to intimidate them. And I believe this is what Encina did to Bland.

Can you expand that into something another person has a chance of following?

1. TJ thinks officers look for something to kick.
2. Hence, anyone in class to become one...
3. GI Bill at the time period = Post Vietnam.
4. Get your strategic ass kicked? Come kick the citizens you think turned on you!

But I'm the asshole for pointing out his obvious swipe?

Bullshit.

No, Zeke's posts are an excellent example of another cop trick.

Deliberately baiting people in the hopes of getting a reaction that they can use against them.

Again, something that Encina did to Bland.

This is on you, Bluey. You're the one trying to make this about post-Vietnam quilt or resentment, not TJ.

Don't sell yourself short. You're the asshole for reasons too numerous to mention but well documented here.
