re: Deputies Try To Kill Pitbull, Kill a Teen

Look, man. My ex wife's dad was NOPD. When I left her, filed and filed in family court for custody he and his fricked up cop friends would pull me over, search my car, get behind me put their lights on just to ride right by.

I am convinced they hid evidence in a criminal matter (tape recorded conversations) with a NO DA just to get a leg up in custody court. I also was written a DWI by an LSU cop leaving an LSU football game, who come to find out beat the shite out of his girlfriend. It pissed me off. I hated any and all cops. The judge dismissed it because he couldn't show up to court since he was fired!

Then I realized that I didn't want my son growing up with those same sentiments. And I just had to let that go. It took some time; but I don't want a young boy growing up a thug; and 99.9% of cops don't act like that. Don't believe like that. And aren't gung ho on shooting a place up.

But I had to recognize that I played a part in all of that animosity, as well. And once I was able to see that I hurt that man's daughter for leaving her, said some pretty nasty things to him and her, and was a dick for throwing her shite out of the house, then I was able to get through it. But that took a few years.

I'm happy I went through all of that now. It may be that your angry at what seems to be a systemic abuse of power. But at the end of the day; if you tally up all of the LEO and public interactions; these shootings make up a very small part of those interactions.

I'm not saying this to be an a-hole or sarcastic. Just take a break from it. I find talking to the priest in my parish helped tremendously. No lie. The guy helped me get over a lot of anger. Blessed God put him in my life.
