"This is almost a microcosm of American's foreign policy!"
That just means one big naked hexagonal chest bump back at the precinct.
South carolina?
Which one's you manimal?
americas finest.
The cops looked like THEY were high on meth....
I certainly feel safer knowing these gentlemen are upholding law and order.
On your side of the pond...

Chances are it won't matter
So how many more of these stories do we need for everyone to finally believe that scuz-ball cops are the rule, rahter than the exception?
Few bad apples...
fixed
Listen goddamit, these are among the finest men on earth. Not only must they attain an entire high school diploma in most cases, but they also have to work through a rigorous 8 week class and meet minimal physical fitness standards. Id like to see some of you college faggots try that.
May I recommend a trip to Mexico to restore some perspective?
Prevelant? Yes. A problem? Yes. The rule? Perhaps a bit sensationalist.
Yeah, we really don't have all that bad.
Power corrupts. I'd bet there are a larger percentage of crooked CEOs than COPs.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to sit in a car and have a conversation across driver's side doors with another cop for, like, 8 hours in the blazing A/C, pretending you're doing something useful? I'd go ****ing bonkers if I had to converse with one of those guys for that long. The mental stamina is off the charts.
Is it
A) your a D bag before you go into the academy
B) They teach you to be a D bag in the Academy
C) You turn into a D bag from watching and learning from your co workers ?
They TAZERED a man who was on the ground face down.
Bad cops..No donut..

I think generally cops enter the program with high ideals and all that...
and then they have to deal with all the carp that they do...
and it wears them down...
and the next thing you know...
they are shooting people in the back (taser or otherwise) and kicking them in the head.
It's unfortunate how it seems to work out that way.
I do also think that there are also those that get into it because the want to be able to beat people up and get paid for it.
I will say that my experience in Boston absolutely corroborates that while they brand and fancy themselves as socially liberal, the reality is that Massachussetts is highly insulated, highly segregated, and extraordinarily racially and socially conservative in practice.
If this happened in NY, I'd bet Gates was just being a loud dick and looking for trouble once the cops showed up. In Boston, I'd bet he was unfairly profiled by both his neighbors and the police.
Yeah, he was being rather unpleasant.
Funny how a well-known Harvard professor might not want be bothered by the cops...
You should talk any black guy right after they been rousted by the cops (and every black guy has a story). It can be surprisingly uncomfortable, especially with the professional and suburbanite African Americans.

BTW, I'm inclined to believe the police.
First of all, while would a police officer refuse to give his name and badge number, considering it is pinned to his lapel?
Second, I'm sure the Cambridge police are used to dealing with primadonnas of all races, from bratty co-eds to famous professors, and I can't believe that several cops would decide to get all up in Gates' face knowing that this could easily blow up in theirs.
Exactly, he was a black guy in a nice neighborhood. Clearly mischief was afoot. Couldn't possibly be any way he actually owned the house.
Word.
I live right next door in Somerville, and I'm 99% certain that you hit the nail on the head here.
