Are you going to answer the question or still deflect? It is most certainly a valid comparison.

Fair enough.....but in your scenerio if you witnessed a guy flip off a cashier and she gave him a tongue lashing would she still be a douchebag that deserved to get gonorrhea? Or is this just a cop thing?

If a cashier cusses me out, I can drop everything and leave the store while her dumb a$$ is still popping gum at the register. Now if the cashier rounded up the rest of her cashier buddies and decided to block the doors while she got the last word in, then you might come close to what happened with the hippie...

Well, except that most cashiers aren't armed to the teeth like these cops were.

Would she (and her friends) be allowed to force the guy to listen via threats of violence and caging? Then if so yes... She absolutely would be.

I don't care what you might have done "if" you would have run the store. I want you to give me the most likely outcome of an employee doing exactly what we saw these cops doing... and I had to pull it out of you, but you said fired... maybe. The "maybe" part is where you have other forms of discipline, but rest assured, there would have been some kind of disclipnary action. All people that work in the service industry know this. To bad the ones that "protect and serve" don't have that sort of fear hanging over them. And besides, you all are supposed to be the bigger man... I thought there was supposed to be some kind of honor in wearing and representing The Shield? What is that saying about arguing with a fool? Those cops just allowed themselves to look foolish themselves and disrespect their office by taking the bait like that.



Cashiers probably makes close to minimum wage, interact and deal with the public routinely, and have a low skill job that just about anyone with a pulse could do. Cops have the protection of a union and the backing of local, state and Federal institutions, interact and deal with the public routinely, and have a low skill job that just about anyone with a pulse could do.

The one thing you're forgetting Ras is that cops are just people..... They're not special or any different than you and I..... They put their pants on just like you...... Some are good...... Some are bad..... Some are criminals. It's the same with pastors, teachers, doctors and etc..... But it's not news when they're doing their jobs correctly.

Would that hippie have been able to walk away from that scene in the middle of that cops tirade and not gone to jail.

Yes or no?

Very doubtful.....but had the dumb SOB not given them the finger he wouldn't have been pulled over.

We're the cops azzholes? Oh yeah.....but we all know they're like hornets ....... If you leave them alone they typically leave you alone..... Poke the best and you get stung..... Right or wrong.... That's how it is.

In this situation that we are discussing if he had left the cop alone (aka not flipped him a bird) would he be left alone?

Didn't that whole thing start because the cops were blocking the road or obstructing traffic or something during the Florida spring game with their Iraqi "tanks"?

Oh, I missed this earlier... yeah, that is a bold faced lie. They find any reason in the world to mess with civilians.

Their job duties and responsibilities are very different, but they're still human beings

Duties and responsibilities aside, they should be held to the same level of accountability as anyone else would if they behave irresponsibly.

That would make things Even Steven and make me feel that they are just like you and me.

Probably... I'm anxiously awaiting your reasoning for how that's relevant.

Well I would say that it is relevant because of your post. You clearly posted that Carl was wrong because of his leave them alone they will leave you alone statement.

So you got rear ended by a cop. I think you are posting in the wrong thread.
