Did I ever mention that I hate cops?

[Occhidiangela]

1. I absolutely don't want to point fingers at the US, you understood me wrong. <>
   
2. I just wanted to point out why I am against excessive measures against people. <>
   
3. It is a fact that a big part of people with jobs that gives them this kind of simple power over others are not capable of handling the job.<>
   
4. Not US you see...everywhere this happens. <>
   
5. If in Holland police continues to hassle small Marocan boys for all kinds of small things. <>
   
6. like just hanging around or so, these kids grow up with a strong hatred against 'the system'' the only things this yields is more, and more violent teenagers. <>
   
7. If you want to act tough on crime, fine, but be sure to be tough on the right persons on the right time. You make mistakes? You will get them back at you for sure.<>
   
8. Soldiers just like policemen are usually not masters of philosophy or PhDs in social sciences, and I have absolutely no problems with that. The people in charge though have to realize this.<>
   
9. In Holland we had much problems lately with marines and navy soldiers misbehaving (rapes of female colleagues, fighting in bars with local people <>
   
10. As long as we don't realize that e.g. soldiers and police officers are not angels not capable of doing wrong we get a lot of problems. <>
    
11. Of course we usually talk about individuals but it is the responsibility of the people in charge that these things don't happen....it will hurt the (in this case) policeforce too much<>

1. Your post history argues against that disclaimer.
2. Define "excessive." I am against child abuse, against torture, and against abuse of citizens. Those are pretty easy positions to take. No risk there.
3. What data, what evidence, supports this assertion? Is this more eppie is "platitude man?" (Please prove me wrong with real data.) You seem to confuse "most" with "some" and "a few."
4. Thanks for your "non anti-US" attempt at moral equivalence between US cops, and cops in Turkey, and cops in Saudi Arabia. Really, thanks. :P
5. :P I'd say they were doing their jobs. :rolleyes: Get those punks off the street. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
6. Yes, indeed, it is the cops' fault those kids are feckless bums. "The man been effin with me" is spoken in Arabic how?
7. Of course a mistake is made here and there, which is why in the US (and in most civilized nations) their are a few safeguards. Internal Affairs divisions in police departments, courts, lawyers, and the press.
8. No crap?
9. Sailors and marines have been doing that since their professions were invented. What has happened is that Holland's sensibilities are now overpussified, as are some American sensibilities.
10. Who is this "we?"
11. Then how about the taxpayers in all civilized nations pay more tax so that these "people in charge" can get the funding approved for the mind control kits that will solve this problem? :rolleyes:
