Re: Cops 4: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
What oops? There was nothing "awkward" in his response to her questions, despite the spin by the Newsweak reporter.
Stops like this happen thousands of times daily across the US and Canada.
I'd run hundreds of plates through the computer during an 8 or 10 hour shift. Recovered I don't know how many stolen vehicles, arrested IDK how many people for warrants.
It's called proactive policing.Growing old is mandatory -- growing up is optional!

The tint on the windows would make it difficult to determine the race of the driver, especially around dusk as this appears to be. But what would I know about that?Growing old is mandatory -- growing up is optional!

Is this another of those "but Finland has a homogeneous population so it works" things? I don't see how.
okay, what I learned in my five minutes of research about socialist countries that don't have all those pesky "constitutional rights" is that most of the cops just carry tasers since the people aren't allowed to have guns. So I guess that explains that: "You'll feel safer here in this little padded box and we'll feed you twice a day..."Last edited by geezer; 07-13-2017, 03:48 PM.Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

But, no. I'm sure you're right and this is all everybody's imagination. Must be hard to be so misunderstood."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984
"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

Originally posted by geezer View PostIs this seriously real? I can't think of a worse policy than expecting a cop under fire to take careful aim at a moving ankle bone before defending himself. It just seems bizarre. Can you imagine how many more dead cops we'd have in the U.S. if we tried this?

To your last point, you need to do 5 minutes of research on prison there too, many prisoners only spend the nights in their "box" and do things like go to work during the day. You know, they are treated like people instead of animals.

Re: Cops 4: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Originally posted by St. Clown View PostI hate to make the comparison, but it's the stories of the black cabbies admitting to skipping black people on the streets because they fear for their safety or losing out on a fare. It's tough to say if that happens only after having been burned a few times on the fares, or if it's ingrained in them because of society. Regardless, stuff like this happens."Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."

Originally posted by Kepler View PostYou[some people] can try to keep the cops as guard dogs for the rich -- that'syour[their] bag and heyyou[they] seem to be winning.

Will you ever get the distinction that merely making an observation about how things are is not at all a statement in support of how things are?"Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."
