A friend once told me that COP stood for "Criminal On Patrol". From my life experience (seeing my black friends get hassled/abused/threatened/falsely arrested, seeing my female friends inappropriately treated, seeing the law being thwarted by those who are supposed to be upholding it regularly) it is clear: if I have to believe anyone aside from a hardened career-violent-criminal aside from a COP, I will. Think about the sort of person that is attracted to a mediocre-paying job where you are functionally above the law and allowed, legally, to beat and shoot people for just speaking to you (it's called Assault to raise your voice to an Officer Of The Law). Do you think someone who is caring, understanding and respectful would like this? Or someone who is amoral, sadistic, manipulative, and quite probably hyperaggressive? Which sounds more likely?<br /><br />Oh, and did I mention the widespread steroid abuse in many police departments? Fun stuff, and after all that, remember, these were police officers most certainly armed with: Body Armor, Pistols, Restraints (both cuffs and plastic), possibly other non-lethal weapons (tazer, baton, pepper spray), and they SHOT a 9months-pregnant woman who had gone into labor the night before. The words "spineless" don't even begin to describe these pieces of filth, and all those that would condone this abhorrent behavior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18542739.post-68238180239244234492010-10-26T15:42:36.616-05:002010-10-26T15:42:36.616-05:00Anakka,
You call Anonymous "unamerican&qu...Anakka,<br /><br /> You call Anonymous "unamerican" for assuming the guilt of the woman. But you are, just as strongly, assuming the guilt of the police officers. And Anonymous is right; this baby will likely be born into a destructive lifestyle if left with the mother. And if she was doing drugs during the pregnancy, her credibility is out the window (no pun intended). No mother should put their unborn child at risk for physical/neurological damage. By the way, you're completely foolish for thinking cannabis is actually beneficial during pregnancy. Try finding a study that actually reaches a conclusion and not one that ends with "benefits have a possibility of existing, but more research is needed." Conclusive studies show direct evidence between mothers who used marijuana (at ANY point in their entire lives) and psychologically dysfunctional babies. Stop using BS as evidence to prove your irrational views.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18542739.post-47968253333352255452010-09-30T10:46:00.609-05:002010-09-30T10:46:00.609-05:00first of all she had no business doing crack or po...first of all she had no business doing crack or pot while pregnant im sorry that she did not listen to the authority's when they busted them and IM sorry she was shot but this poor baby never had a chance in life at all with drugs being fed to the unbornAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
