Reply #152: I have said this before, but we seem to have worldviews colliding here [View All]

I am of the perhaps naive belief that most people are decent, and also that most people are imperfect, that means both Gates and Crowley. In stressful situations or conflicts often neither person is at their best.

In the other, more cynical worldview, there are lots of bad guys, especially among the police force, but often on DU too where 'cop-defenders' are bad guys too, and some 'trolls' have over 20,000 posts.

The story you tell there does not sound implausible, but it does not make the cop into a bad guy either, nor mean that there isn't some truth in the rest of the report.
