2. What does that have to do with raises and bennies?
They were doing their job, the job that they applied for.

3. Why is it that the few dollars working people have managed to negotiate
are always being attacked while those useless f#cks, CEOs who do nothing but try to screw the country, waltz away with millions funded by -- working people?

4. I will, MM

the word is "too" when you use it with the word "many."

"I went to two grocery stores and bought too many bad apples."

People are more likely to take your posts seriously if you take the English language seriously. That is, if English is indeed your first language.

If English is not your native tongue, I apologize for the lesson.

5. False premise. It isn't pay or benefits that causes complaints against cops.
Edited on Sat Jul-17-10 12:23 PM by TexasObserver
It's abuse by police in the conduct of their jobs.

When they kill or maim 80 year olds who called them, some of us get upset about that.

6. What does this have to do with the bullying and thuggery that cops
have a nasty habit of engaging in that raises the ire of people in the first place.

Far be it for me to sound callous but the video in question is merely a demonstration of the risks for which they are paid. They ought not to be paid to bully the populace and abuse them while their co-workers sit idly by and say not a damn thing.

7. Maybe we should pay them more and find smarter cops who wont ....
Edited on Sat Jul-17-10 03:37 PM by Hassin Bin Sober
... jump in front of moving cars and shoot the driver.

What was this guy puled over for that required the cops risking their lives chasing a car down a snow covered alley? My dog has more sense.
