You're a fine example of a cop dude. Really.

Sorry. I saw your post on preview, but it was too late to get the sarcasm back into the tube.

To say nothing of the dangers of tacos themselves. Sure, you get yourself a couple of tacos. And then you eat the tacos. And you just want more. So you eat more tacos. And then you add a milkshake to lubricate your craw so you can get more tacos in there. And then you realize, you’re racing down the highway at 150 mph projectile vomiting from all those fucking tacos and milkshakes, and you don’t even know where the hospital is, but you need to get there right damn now.

Yes. I think we can all agree. You shouldn’t do stuff and then drive.

That’s the assumption I’ve been going on. Am I wrong?

Well, the overuse of emotional, melodramatic language would seem to indicate Uzi being a member of the fairer sex.

Oh I am well aware of the routine harassment cops in my county, as well as other counties, employ. When I first started working in criminal defense I used to think these crazy stories my clients told me had to be made up. I mean, how bored does a cop have to be to pull the same guy over multiple times in a week? How can a cop steal money from someone’s wallet as they book them into the jail? How could a cop refuse to drug test someone in the jail after arresting them for being under the influence, then lie on the police report about that person’s “refusal” to take said test? After about 6 months on the job I realized this shit really does happen. It’s depressing and infuriating. The worst part of it is the alarming reluctance on the part of the courts in doing anything about it.

I was doing a hearing just a few weeks back where the cop did nothing short of admit on the stand that he was harassing my client. Cross examination revealed this cop to have a total hard-on for my client, for whatever reason. Nonethless, the judge made a point of reading a three page long decision on the record, not only denying my motion to suppress, but kissing the cop’s ass in the process. So not only were my client’s constitutional rights stomped on, he had to sit through a judicial tounge bath of the cop, then watch that same cop smirk at us as he left the courtroom.

And people wonder why cops continue to act the way they do.

That’s exactly the kind of misogynist bilge I’d expect you to spew.

lezlers, your posts make me even more terrified of the police than I already was. This thread and the one about laws being passed making it illegal to film cops on duty are both making me paranoid.

And your predictable response probably makes it more likely to recur. This is the Pit, where the point is to piss off the people you hate. He’s succeeding, but you probably aren’t.

My solution is to live in such a small community far enough away from the center that the cops have no reason to come by. And, due to being a small town, I know the cops personally anyways.

Unless they’re barreling down the Interstate at 70 mph and suddenly feel the urge to pee like a motherfuck. :smiley:

I live in the same sort of environment and there are pros and cons. When I was pulled over by a local cop at 3 am with manufactured probable cause (he said I did not stop completely at a stop sign. In reality I stopped and sat long enough to check through radio stations) I complained to the chief of police. He told me he would investigate without telling the cop that I complained. Everytime I see that cop now, he glares at me.

Don’t mind MTCicero. She gets a bit punchy at the end of a multi-page thread.

Exactly right, except for the part where he said:

(Bolding mine.)

I have not yet encountered a draft beer that I had to open.

But why let reading comprehension get in the way of righteous indignation?

My experience being a very mild-mannered, completely non-threatening suburban housewife type is that cops are indeed dicks. I haven’t had many interactions with cops, but most of the ones I have had, the city cops started off with a bad attitude and anything I said made it worse.

Try getting a speeding ticket from the same cop you cross examined the previous day. Coincidence?

In retrospect, I also may be conflating **MT **with someone who made some similarly retarded comment in another thread about passive-aggressiveness being an exclusively female trait. If it wasn’t the same poster, my apologies. (For the conflation, not for thinking the post in this thread was fucking retarded.)

ETA: Yeah, sorry MT, that was Happy Poster.

MAYBE THEY SELL GROWLERS. MAYBE THE OP WAS ABOUT TO DRINK A WHOLE FUCKING JUG OF BEER. BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE DO.

Pony Keg. No wonder Uzi is so upset.

I was OK with this until the part about the puppet show. :frowning:

Apparently, someone’s irony detector is on the fritz.

See my post above. Somehow my brain rummaged around and came up with *your *name as the person who’d posted some similar misogynist bullshit recently, but in an absolutely serious way. Like I said: Sorry about that.
