    There is a big difference. Sport are for fun (and i like sports). Protests are for improving lives (usually). I think that traffic disturbances are worth out right to protest.

    Think if you feel disenfranchised. Seen your kind gunned down, you could give a crap about impending g traffic. Now giving a white cop overtime that hates your guts.........???

    Think if you're a cop that routinely comes to scenes marked with blood and violence. Think, for a few seconds at least, how that might affect you.

    F**k... we have people on this forum that routinely blast the planet and society for what they read in various other threads- lamenting, in poetic and we'll versed fashion no less, how the world with all its misery needs a control-alt-delete... yet they are the highest critics of the people that mop up the blood- the people that don't just read the shit, but get routinely f**king soiled with it.

    A horrible job. Absolutely f**king horrible.

    Oh I agree. Cops have it tough. Especially in cities. Try to thank them in my city every opportunity I get.

    Assuming the widely believed theory that racism is widespread throughout police forces...

    Do cops become racist... or do racists become cops?

    Relaxing of some basic standards back in the 80's and 90's to combat the crack that exploded due in large part to crack cocaine.

    Wager though on your question its a bit of both. With a fair measure of Us vs the "Animals (and everyone not in a uniform is an animal) mentality.

    I agree. Both, with the driving force being the psychological effects of authority. The Stanford Experiment is a great example of how good people have a hard time staying so in authority positions.

    Appealed , claiming new evidence not presented at trial. All white jury, convicted a mixed white/japanese cop of raping 8 black women. Convicted on 18 charges, another 18 couldnt come to a verdict on relating to another 8 or so women.

    Came to light because a 50 something grandmother had the courage to speak out. Another victim had a valid point in answering why she didnt alert authorities, "who are you going to call on the police?"

    It's explained in the article you provided (in a link within the written passage).

    Thanks....I hadn't read what I posted.

    That's sarcasm in case you didn't get it.

    The explanation is not enough for me. It doesn't make sense.

    Sometimes things are missed. I wasn't trying to rub your face in anything. I too am confused a little. The verdicts seem backwards.

    Holy shit I seem to be agitating today. I obviously need to do a better job constructing my posts.

    Haha, no problem.

    Edit; i see what you were saying....it was my bad. I didn't realize you were talking about the link on the CBC article. I thought you were referring to the link I posted. Sorry for the confusion

    I read about this earlier. Can't say that I'm surprised.
