Reply #147: With my stance, I like them best when they're holding a big gun... [View All]

Disclaimer: I am not pointing any fingers at you or anyone else, save for one generic group that I'm about to rail on, big-time:

I know there's a contingent on DU that hate cops just for the apparent fun of it - or by what they see in the ¢orporate(tm) media... funny, that corporate media... showing only certain images to get a specific reaction out of their audience... I thought people hated that manipulation and tell everyone else that critical thinking is needed?

That's why I can't hate the police for the identical reasons that so many readily hate them. What the news says hardly tells the whole story. Like, what else is new about what the media does and why? Plus, how many on DU ever bother to think of ANY cop's point of view? From their perspective, it's hard enough having to keep the "fight or flight" condition under control when dealing with suspect robbers, muggers, murderers.. it's by no means an easy job and many DUers are indeed programmed by the media they claim to hate. Only when it suits their pet interests. I wholly disagree with that notion.
