BTW, I always thought that the cop/donut-shop connection was for purely practical reasons: if you’re out on the streets and you want a place to take a quick break and/or fill out paperwork, a donut shop is a decent choice. You can stay as short or as long as you want, you seat yourself, and they have quick snacks like donuts and coffee without waiting for a waiter. And, as mentioned earlier, they’re often open all night.
And Kyle Rayner1, I completely agree with you. All we need is a dedicated and selfless multi-billionaire with superhuman strength and technology from 20 years in the future, and our city will be safe from marauding gangs of armed penguins. What are you, 12 fucking years old?
Uh, my dad was cop, was yours? Didnt thinks so. I hang out with sopc s every fucking year so when I say a vigilante would help I’m serious. Maybe you don’t care about people being hurt but I do.
Perhaps Kyle is attempting to say that ‘vigilanteism,’ in the classic sense (from the latin vigils, those who watch (or something like that)) is a good idea. Community self-policing and what not. The neighborhood watch is an old, but tried and true method which not only brings together communities (especially in the inner city) but forces the criminal element to the fringe and hopefully out.
Kyle, I’m a cop and I’ve got an eighteen minute three mile. Kiss my ass.
Why should I believe you? If your father was killed, his survivors have my sympath for that; however, they don’t have my carte blanche for vigilantism.
I don’t see how you could possibly know that.
Well, bully for you.
Thank you, Doctor Kyle! Seriously, how do you know that all of those folks in uniform are active duty police officers? I seem to recall more than a few retired, to include medically retired, officers making their homages there.
I await some actual proof (and I’ve actually lost count of how many times I’ve told you that) of this assertion of yours.
Are you aware of logical fallicies? Didn’t think so. This comment of yours is one of those: claim to authority. BTW, you’re not talking from experience as you obviously weren’t a police officer.
Kyle, seriously, speaking as probably the one guy who’s disagreed with you without being nasty about it: give it a rest. Go somewhere else. Do something else. Because frankly, this is just sad, and it’s obvious that it’s hurting you.
Really, quick. I only posted two posts drunk and those were two days ago. I was sober the rest of the time and I’ll never post drunk again since I didn’t know it was against board rules until recently.
First, most people consider using a personal tragedy to win an argument extremely crass. Second, no, you DON’T know what you’re talking about, or even if you do, it doesn’t matter, because you cannot support your argument. Having a relative who was a cop does not make you an expert.
