This is a great example of a police officer going above and beyond. Huge kudos to him. The media has been all over it.

So I guess it's also a great example of how you can make ANYTHING into a left/right pissing match.

Awesome move by the policeman . . ! Read about that gesture of his last week though.

Strange that you couldn't have just posted that without throwing in politics.

You would have thought that this dude would've learned not to bait this board with politics, especially after formercat handed him his ass repeatedly when he did.

You are one to be talking about "getting his ass handed to him". I will stop there. And Julez to pretend there are not a couple of people here that are anti cop is silly. I know the majority of cops in this country are great people.

 

[JuleZ '02 HEEL]

Nobody is "anti cop". Might be a few here that are "anti-cop-brutality" or "anti-giving-all-cops-a-free-pass-at-all-times".

Regardless, you saw a nice feel-good story and the first thing you thought to do with it was to come on here and bait people you know you disagree with into yet another pointless pissing match. That's no way to go through life, man.

Fair enough Julez.

Exactly who are these 'Anti-Cop' posters you claim to inhabit this board . . ? I don't know of any . . help an old man out here . . gracias.

Hey all you libtard anti-cop haters . . please sign in on this thread so I know who you are.

Thanks in advance . .

I disagree with that. Even one of my favorite people here is pretty close to "anti-cop".

But I'll also agree that the OP probably should have just posted the story without the political commentary. As much as I like giving the "libtards" a hard time, it almost ruined the moment of a feel good story.

Sorry guys. Maybe I should not have included that but I have had it with all of the anti cop BS but not the best the to discuss. My bad. And Billy don't act stupid.

Anti-police brutality does not equal anti-cop. Believing that cops who do use excessive force should be held accountable is not anti-cop.

This was an awesome move by this officer. Its a shame more officers like him don't out the bad ones

Your first statements are very accurate.
Why is it then, that when one objects to black brutality (crime ) one is labeled anti- black, or racist? Or more germane to recent discussions, when one objects to Muslim brutality, one is labeled as Islamophobic, told they hate all muslims, or presented with the weak and tired "they don't all do it" defense.

Generally speaking, its a difference of rhetoric or timing. Often the issue of violence within the black community is presented as some kind of counter argument to police brutality. Obviously the two are not mutually exclusive. Also, it doesn't help that people don't acknowledge the social and economic factors that contribute to said violence. If you put whites, hispanics, asians, or any other race of people into the same situation, there would be an increase of crime within those communities as well. However it is often presented as some kind of argument of biological predisposition, as if people with a different color of skin are more likely to commit those crimes because of the color of their skin. Of course most educated people know that isn't the case, but quite a lot of people still present their arguments in such a manner.

I can use your point about Muslim brutality as an example. Personally I have no objection to people pointing out the fact that there is a serious problem of violence amongst other things within the Muslim community. I obviously don't have a problem with blaming Islam for these problems. I just think it is important to note that these same problems have been seen in almost every culture where theocracy was prevalent. Within the doctrines of Islam, there are brutal, inhumane, disgusting mandates that supposedly come straight from god. The same is true of almost every single monotheistic religion that has ever been invented. That was pretty much my entire point in that discussion. I wont disagree with you that it is unfair to label those who criticize Islam and its more devout followers as Islamophobic. But it is also important to remember there are two types of people who criticize the Muslim community. One of them are the xenophobic racists who spit in Muslim's faces during Donald Trump rallies. The other present a more sophisticated argument that addresses the issue in a fair manner. They make many similar arguments, however the delivery and reasoning of those arguments is what separates them. Sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference, and I think that's why the label of Islamophobic is becoming so prevalent.

P.S. Sorry for the novel.
