NO. They’re much, much more corrupt.
I disagree. The original post went as follows:”A police officer attempting to live above the laws he’s sworn to protect? No way!”The term ‘no way’ in standard use would suggest that such a thing does not happen, or does so only rarely. Because the comment is sarcastic, we can take the actual meaning to be “A police officer attempting to live above the laws he’s sworn to protect? This is not rare, and actually occurs commonly.”The statement thus implies a generalization that all or most police officers are hypocritical, an assumption that has been substantiated by mostly anecdotal evidence and individual examples, not statistics, etc.I don’t really see how suggesting that a rejection of totalizing logic (on either side of the discussion) constitutes a closed minded unquestioning adherence to authority.I’m afraid I don’t see the original poster clarifying their statement.
The jury found him guilty of vehicular homicide, so apparently he didn’t have a good reason.The cop, as usual, considers himself to be above the law and wanted the evidence against him to be dismissed. As much as I hate America’s justice system, I’m not gonna complain about this one.
Their existence is a crime. Their seat, their robe, their tie, their land deed, their hired guns. They’re the crime!
“Higbee claims he was going after another driver who was speeding.”But why wasn’t state trooper Higbee using his lights and siren? Jones said he was “closing the distance” with the speeder — which he said is one step before activating an official police pursuit.
I tried, but the original link from the site was dead…Sorry.
Good thing he’s not being tried in the court of reddit opinion, then.It certainly sounds like he’s a douchebag, but we don’t know the whole story based off of badcopnews.com.
I was being sarcastic, so maybe someone who didn’t read it that way modded it down. I should have tagged it.I was thinking the obvious comparison to people who have NO reason to lie vs a guy whose freedom is on the line would make it clear, but I forget the internet hates sarcasm. Sorry for not being clearer.I tend to believe the impartial witnesses too.
I know that volunteer firemen aren’t allowed to speed because of the increased risk of accidents.
NONSENSE. The average redditor willingly accepts that we should not judge Pastor Wright’s character based on several seconds of sound-bites, but we CANNOT apply that logic to cops. A few bad cops means they are all the most evil, corrupt fuckers in our nation.
If I were to blatantly run a stop sign, and kill two innocent girls. Especially hot ones that I could use my police jurisdiction on, then yes, I believe I would gladly accept going to federal pound me in the ass prison.
Agreed, god what a stupid article. What’s so hard to understand? In a functional legal system, BOTH sides are supposed to do their best in order to get fair rulings.

What ethnicity is “wetback”?
What is ironic here is that both of you asshats must not have understood the logical fallacy of hasty generalizations I was pointing out from the start.And don’t tell me that the “average redditor” (wow, look, a qualifier used in the original comment) isn’t a cop-bashing dickweed.
