Sorry but I have a quick update to my last post.
I told my old man that I was quoting hime on here. He looked it over and said if I was going to quote him, I should get it right.
He says he didn't say..."until you say I killed Kennedy", He said, the cops would put a plastic bag on my head and beat the crap out of me. He said I'd then confess to every shooting since Lincoln !
Sorry for the misquote !

Lemme see if I can make it easy for you to understand.
You made mention of one case... the police have not been tried for that one case you mention...so how does that equate to "it happens all the time"?
Simple enough for you?

I liked the one in Philadelphia when the cops shot a black guy leaving his pre-wedding party 52 times.
Ok, he was unarmed, and not doing anything, and not a criminal, but he was black, so the cops were eventually found not guilty.
It took a few years, since it is best to wait a while before letting the cops off in these cases.
I agree that it happens all the time. Rodney King was another great example of police work at it finest.
They beat the hell out of that black guy! USA! USA! USA! Fear and intimidation are the best tools for a repressive government to control the people,
if that fails they tend to make up fake wars to distract the people from their real agenda of stealing everything in the country. Sound at all familiar? |

Let's all take a step backwards and wait... if the officers are indeed guilty then justice will run its' course.

The charges against Dixon were dropped, case closed. There is now a new case against the cops. Talk about lying cops... |
I gather you did not comprehend the gist of my comments in the least did you. You said it happens all the time and provided a singular example... List several where the police were found guilty and then we can talk about it.
As for the charges being dropped, that happens as a matter of course. You may be shocked to hear this but some people are guilty but the probabilities of conviction are such that the Crown opts not to proceed.
I do hope you understand the difference.
Let us be clear on one thing... if indeed these police officers did violate this person's constitutional rights then let them suffer the consequences. I would however prefer not to pass judgment without first having had the matter adjudicated by the proper authorities.

Heh, OK, thanks for simplifying it, but you're still wrong. That isn't the most recent link on the case:
Police have learned lessons: Chief The cops were found liable and paid $80,000.
Result: Dixon exonerated... Cops guilty.
But I am sorry, when I was thinking about the police getting off Scott Free, I was thinking about the case of Po La Hay:
Judge clears cop, smells coverup
In that case even the judge is pissed at the police for lying for each other, but his hands are tied.
These cases stick out in my mind because they're local, and have been in the paper this past month or two. There are lots more, but I'm not going to dig for them.
Ray, admit it, you're a shill for the government. It's not your fault. You were brainwashed during your years of suckling from the tax payer's teat.

Curses, foiled again. How did you find out, I thought I had covered my tracks (in winter no less).
Suckling from the tax payer's teat is a bit harsh though. I vividly recall working on many a one man detachment, and getting all types of calls in the middle of the night from petrified taxpayers who wanted me to get rid of the bogey man they thought they spotted in their back yard.
I make no apologies whatsoever for the salary they paid me... Lemme see ($4,800/year) the first year... which was a mere fraction of what I made in the mines in Sudbury.
You caught me fair and square... so kudos to you. :O)

But that was back when gold was at $35 an ounce and you could buy a new car for $500. :-P

One of my aircraft mechanic instructors told us of his TWO brand new Shelby Cobra's he had owned, I think $1,800 or so each??
Said he loved them both, drove them everywhere and sold them cheap a few years later. Yea, two priceless sports cars he paid under 5k for total and sold for less.

But that was before gold stopped being the standard and they didn't make new cars then, only old ones.
All the cars made before Reaganism are old - check it out. |

It has been a long time but I seem to recall that a 1966 Plymouth Barracuda sold for something like 2k or more...As for gold... I didn't even have gold in my teeth back then. :O)
