According to the police unions this is clear proof that any criticism of police practices is reckless. I defer to their impeccable logic and will cease further criticism , because they are all hero's and whatever brown person they shot recently totally had it coming.
One could also argue that much of the rhetoric and media coverage has been so toxic and extreme over the last few weeks that this is to be expected.
BTW, I heard a couple of the union guys this morning. The bodies aren't even cold yet and they are politicizing hard. Maybe wait a second before blaming the mayor for their deaths.
what do you think of the new d'angelo album, burt?
i like it. more than the other one.
how many police and/or military are there in your extended family? i'm guessing 3 or more.
Mine are more Duke boys than Boss Hogg. A stepbrother-in-law is a cop, but from what I hear he is eactly the corrupt shitbag this thread is made for.
how many of your creatures are inspired by people you know?
all of them.
which one is inspired by me?

You are merely the personification of my will to self criticize and self destroy. The classic court jester and devil on my shoulder rolled into one. You are no more real than anyone else on this board.

Flipping through the channels I see Hannity has Mark Fuhrman on again talking about police & race relations without a hint of irony.

SIAP. I was too lazy to look through all the pages in this thread. Props to this kid and this cop is a jerk and part of the problem. Hopefully the cop got in trouble for not giving the kid his badge number. Which is the law.
Is the NYPD contract up for renewal or something? The theater by the NYPD (aerial banners condemning the mayor, turning their back on him at various public events related to the deceased) can't make it look good in the public eye, can it? I suppose there are quite a few people that support the police no matter what, but two dead cops or not it seems that anything approaching criticism turns the entire department into petulant children. They are making it hard for me to have sympathy for the NYPD as a whole.

In case it wasn't posted already, John Oliver did a good skit on this:
While its nice news, my understanding is that the new guidelines exempt special taskforces. It'd also be nice to have something on the legislative side of things rather than merely guidelines, but maybe I'm just nitpicky.
In other cop related news, I have zero sympathy for the no business as usual Friday (or whatever its called) folks. Occupy Wall street flamed out pretty quick, and this one will presumably do so even faster. This is the worst vehicle possible for changes in police accountability.

Yeah, Holder can do only so much from an executive department. Separation of powers and all that.
