re: Indiana asks cop to stop selling "Breathe Easy" t-shirts

Really? Link to a cop selling a t shirt regarding an incident where the cop(s) were not cleared. I'll wait. Since there are no strawmen arguments you should have a link in no time.

Look, if you want to keep denying that our civil liberties (and lives) are under assault, go ahead. I'm not going to get dragged down arguing with your non sequiturs.

The point I'm making is that you and several others are using strawmen.

---

no, its not a strawman.

Yeah, cops selling tshirts promoting their random acts of violence is incredibly rare.

I personally think the cops and their supporters should be able to broadcast their stupidity by buying, selling and wearing these t-shirts. YEAH, WE KILLED SOMEONE! frick yeah, and we got off!

Social Justice Warrior...it's something the board picked up somewhere...kind of like the Alinsky references that dominated the board after Glen Beck mentioned it.

This board is now taking its cues from a recovering drug addict and alcoholic.

Do you have a link or just pictures?

Well there you go.

What myth and how does an overarching discussion hinge on Mike Brown? See: Tamir Rice. See: any of the other links provided by REG, etc.

The myth that good cops protect bad ones.
I put in the Mike Brown reference to show that just because people keep repeating "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" even though it has been proven that MB was charging and did not have his hands up.

Tamir Rice is still under investigation. That appears to be a bad hire because another department got rid of a cop that shouldn't be doing the job. If good cops didn't get rid of bad cops then he would still be working at his previous department. This shooting seems to prove what his previous department stated. Cleveland PD will have to improve their hiring practices.

Are you claiming this isn't true? The view that cops who "rat" on other cops are shunned isn't true?

---

I can't speak for all departments, but in my department it isn't true. We have a ton of peer pressure to do the job correctly from the other officers on the street.

I also have trained at other departments and know that they strive to have better officers. Good cops want to work with officers they can depend on in a bad situation. I don't want my life depending on a bad officer that I can't trust. Would you want to work with someone that may not be there if you really needed them?
