22. That's my policy...

... stay the fuck away from them. It's what I taught my sons too. Don't ever got to a party with someone. Drive your own car. If anything's going on that a police would not look kindly on, get the Hell out of there pronto.

Now, had I (or my sons) been the filmer, the police would have had a horrible time trying to find anything to arrest me for. I don't have a record. Not even a parking ticket. Guess they would just have to kill me.

The young couple did the right thing and hopefully that killer cop is going to be held accountable, irregardless of their past. Hope they get a good lawyer to defend them.

Frankly, I think every one of those cops should have been held accountable, for abetting.

"You're only mad cause I filmed your boy". That's probably correct. zonkers Aug 2014 #1
