[Solomon]

That is all.

Only white folks are allowed to be tumultuous.

[omega minimo]

28. "TUMULTUOUS"!! I been trying to remember that word!!!!

:rofl:

[noiretextatique]

39. also: agitated, loud, disorderly, etc

black folks are supposed to cower and defer otherwise we scare the po po :scared:

[mix]

2. and they did

nice point

[John Q. Citizen]

3. That's true, but he didn't then call them "stupid." They just looked stupid

[redqueen]

7. Nobody called anyone stupid this time, either. (nt)

[Maru Kitteh]

12. Someone should have. It needed saying. And even though Obama did not call this officer stupid

as you very well know, it is obvious his actions were stupid, and were deservedly addressed thusly.

[John Q. Citizen]

22. I wasn't there but I've seen cops do some stupid things.

I've seen cops who were stupid and cops that weren't stupid do stupid thing.

I thought not investigating asap a shooting was kind of strange.

But so far, with the Boston thing, I wasn't there and there seems to be some dispute as to whether what the cop did was stupid or not.

I wouldn't put it past cops to be stupid, but like I said I wasn't there.

i imagine if what the cop did was stupid, then he and the city may get sued and the evidence of stupidity will be presented and he may put up a defense and a jury will decide if he was stupid and just how stupid he was.

But I'm not the type of person to read a news account and jump to conclusions about the relative stupidity of someone. I usually wait for the trial and the evidence.

Now if the cop said that he acted stupidly, I wouldn't wait. But since it's in dispute, I try not to prejudge these things.

I could care less if you do or Obama does though, honestly.

4. Just read that Whittington still has pellets in his jaw and his gums.

[Solomon]

17. Harry "The Quail" Whittington

[ControlledDemolition]

31. If only Dan Quail had been Cheney's 'hunting' partner on that day. Danny-boy would have bought it!

[HughMoran]

5. Yeah, but he's white and he did it in whiteville.

Can you imagine the furor if he was black?

[zbdent]

6. I pointed this out earlier:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=224x3664

Cheney was quoted:

"I shot a man in Corpus Christi, just to watch cops squirm ..."

[Solomon]

13. Thanks. I missed that one.

:thumbsup:

[Gold Metal Flake]

8. Yup.

[Uncle Joe]

9. Yes, but that was for national security purposes,

I believe Whittington was against water torture, and just happened to express his legal feelings on the subject while Cheney was armed and drunk, so he had to be shot, don't you see?:shrug:

[damntexdem]

10. After delying quite a while in reporting it.

But, then, Cheney was only SSITFWW (shooting someone in the face while white).

[scheming daemons]

11. Yep... wasn't even arrested and released.

[joeybee12]

14. Well, it was Texas...

...up is down and left is right.

[BlueIdaho]

15. I believe his exact words were - Fuck off piss ants. nt.

[babylonsister]

16. Yea, and he wasn't even cuffed!

:rofl:

[Echo In Light]

18. He's been a corporate pirate for the Shadow Govt for decades. "Connected" would be an understatement

[progressoid]

19. And got the victim to apologize too.

How fucked up is that?

[xocet]

20. An Offer that Cannot Be Refused...

Whatever police would have been involved in an investigation were probably shown pictures of a secret, undisclosed location, man-sized safes and Bush's "Al Qaeda-head" trophy. (Cheney probably has these pictures in his wallet next to his family.) Then the police were offered the chance to turn down a package deal that included being water-boarded up to 183 times in a month and some other assorted "enhanced-interrogation" techniques for good measure.

Fuck Cheney, Bush and all the idiots that support torture. Seriously, it is well beyond time to prosecute Bush, Cheney et al.

[Solomon]

21. bump for new crowd

[eppur_se_muova]

23. He just wanted them to wait for the whiskey to flush through.

After that, they were welcome to look around.

Seriously.

[Solomon]

25. Yep. That's called obstruction of justice. Felony

[Hubert Flottz]

24. Republicans are above the law.

[goclark]

26. Excellent point ~

[wroberts189]

27. Do not try this at home... cops will lock you up. knr nt

[lexanman]

29. well

he probably didn't yell at them. Or infer they were racist. Or alarm them.

Gates committed this crime? I think not.

[upi402]

30. Cheney's drunk and shoots an attorney, what happens next?

The rest of us would be under the prison.


So... anybody have hope for change here?

[ControlledDemolition]

32. Didn't he have farm raised attorneys stuffed under shrubbery that day? n/t

[barbtries]

33. actually wasn't it

"fuck off!"?

[Solomon]

38. No, it was "go fuck yourself".

[rhett o rick]

34. It's a class problem. nm

[City Lights]

35. It was a private matter between The Dick and his victim.

I'd forgotten about that detail...thanks for reminding me.

It'd be fun to point this out to the corporate media goons.

Recommended.

[Lasher]

36. Hey, just till he sobered up.

Let's be fair about it.

[Octafish]

37. That says it all.

In Cheney's case, the cops knew who's boss.
In Gates' case, the cop wanted to make a point of it and wouldn't take "Not you" for an answer.
