When Cops Attack [Each Other]
Speaking of law enforcement unions, looks like things are getting ugly down Sacramento way.

This is actually Union business more than cop business. Still embarassing for the Sacramento County Sheriffs Office and cops in general.
The idea of the "blue line" or whatever phrase is used to insinuate that all cops will stick together to cover other cops is absurd. But I can see how cops will rally against idiots like Noel, Police reviewboard, adamsomthing or other, that make outrageous claims against all cops.
It all sounds like a Keystone Kops script. Sadly, this is what happens as a result of the end to hiring qualifications forced on the agencies by affirmative action, feminism and political correctness. In the past, most of the jerks who were prone to engage in this nonsense would have been weeded out in the hiring process.
"Sadly, this is what happens as a result of the end to hiring qualifications forced on the agencies by affirmative action, feminism and political correctness."
So, fair hiring practices of minorities and women have lowered the quality of the police force? Wow! Well, surely they would not be paid as much as their white male counterparts except for that politically correct police union.
Let me help you out here 3:08 PM since you seem to be a little slow on the uptake. The agencies no longer can disqualify an applicant because he/she/it is under 5'6" in height, obese, has an arrest record for whatever violation, is over age, has a psychological disability or needs to take the written exam in a foreign language. They have to be weeded out in the training phase. The pressure to pass trainees who would otherwise have been culled for failure to qualify is now immense for "minorities", females and other protected groups and the disqualifications now can only apply to the "white males" you refer to. I am unaware that any pay differential has ever existed on the basis to which you refer.
Oh by the way, the "police unions" don't give a rip for the qualifications of their members. The only criteria they consider is payment of dues.
Police are the union members. "The only criteria they consider is payment of dues."
Does this mean gang bangers can join? You stretch credibility.
Many of you leftists consider police to be "gang bangers", so if you are going to be ridiculous go ahead.
Your argument gets weaker with every comment. Now you are throwing stones.
You have made a pretty good case for citizen overview, though.
Unsupportable conservative arguments often resemble circular firing squads. Or the Warren commission's case for the magic bullet.
And when the discussion deteriorates
to throwing out terms like conspiracy
theory, liberal, or leftist, rational thought ends and Pavlovian spew begins. The resulting chaos gets no one anywhere close to a resolution. It is a tactic used to disenfranchise and a powerful tool for propaganda.
Sadly, Zorba the Greek prefers the "good ol' days" when all of the cops were white men.
The CPR rump ranger is at it again! Trying to impress the masses with his worldly knowledge, w/o really saying anything.
Ahhh, the Rump Troll follows me again leaving his usual words of wisdom.

Oh CPR (or do you prefer Joel?) you are such a whimp. Is everyone that is not impressed with your elitist attitude a Troll?
When you can't come up with a decent comeback or response you rag on a typo or grammar or call someone a troll. Lame.
Yeah, and as if Joel or Hank or Kevin don't anonymously comment here all the time. Nobody believes the Arcata mafia's protestations of innocence any more.
The Arcata Mafia?
Sadly, this thread has unraveled and rational thinking amidst the resulting chaos is but a teapot in a tempest. The mob mentality has taken over. In another time, I suppose we would hear a call to "Hang him." Not much changes, except the technology.
I'd like to see all posts attacking other people on a personal basis simply deleted. We all know the troll who lives his life vicariously through attacks on everyone he envies. It's tiresome. Just delete him.

I notice most of your posts wind up using the 'L' word sooner or later.
So if you are an example of a
'right-winger', after reading your expert 'opinions',
I am thinking of becoming a Raging Liberal! THANKS!
When CPR offers to correct your spelling and make improvements on your grammar, the proper response is, 'Thank you.'
