1. Glad you could find one you're proud of. Invite him for dinner, ask him to date your daughter.

[Archae]

2. Thanks for showing your love of all cops... /s

Guess what? There actually *ARE* some good ones.
And there actually *ARE* real assholes too, especially when drunk.

3. Until they start arresting the bad cops, they're all bad cops

17. How I feel about cops:

4. lolz (quitely)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. A cop did his job. What exactly is the story here?

[DisgustipatedinCA]

6. I don't understand. What matter is there to discuss?

This hardly seems newsworthy. I mean, we never read that an accountant did his or her job for a solid 8 hours, but we sometimes do read about it when an accountant embezzled 2 million dollars.

Was the cop doing his job without brutality, without committing a crime? If so, I fail to see why you wrote the OP.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. Me either. So confused.

[Electric Monk]

9. The cop wasn't a properly certified chiropractor?

(One of the OPs other 2 minute hates: chiropractors)

[DisgustipatedinCA]

10. If you can't work up irrational hatred for chiropractors, who can you work up irrational hatred for?

[Electric Monk]

11. Hentai? Oops, nevermind, they're pefectly ok with that. nt

[snooper2]

16. street cleaners

8. The only reason to remark on a cop doing his job properly is if in fact such a thing is

remarkable.

Maybe it has become worth rermarking on after all.

[ohnoyoudidnt]

12. Or maybe there are cops doing remarkable things everyday.

And abuse that gets so much attention, you get a distorted view of reality from the media.

With over 750K cops in this country, I would expect hundreds of new videos of abuse uploaded to youtube everyday if most cops were bad. Nearly 70% of adults have smartphones now.

13. I watched a guy make a hat out of corn husks

[Javaman]

14. yay! cheering on violence! nt

[bluedigger]

15. There are probably a dozen worthy candidates any given night on Bourbon Street.

They really have to be provoked before they take action in my experience.

[jeanmarc]

19. Cops are my Saints on Bourbon Street

Big dummies get drunk, start pushing and shoving and the cops come out of nowhere and remove the idiots involved. I love it. The idiots get to spend a night in the drunk tank and think about it.

[geomon666]

18. So if I'm understanding this thread correctly...

It's ok that this cop body slammed this man because the man was drunk and belligerent. Sorry, really drunk and belligerent.

Ok, so my next question is this. Is there a line where police violence against the public is no longer ok? I mean would it be acceptable to you if the cop had tased him? What about shooting him? What if he was really really really drunk and belligerent?
