Would You Have A Beer With Officer Crowley?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

1. I'll Give Everybody The Benefit Of The Doubt That They Were Good People Having A Bad Day

~

[H2O Man]

2. I do not consume

alcoholic beverages. But I'd have a glass of water with him. I enjoy talking with almost anyone.

[ballad for ramona]

34. I'm with you. n/t

[H2O Man]

36. I do not think so.

It looks like you were tombstoned.

[hfojvt]

39. Q: "What's the matter with being drunk?"

A: "Ask a glass of water that."

But echo to what you said about the beer. As for the talking, I would rate it as a toss up. It's good sometimes and not so good other times.

[armyowalgreens]

3. I enjoy talking with all kinds of people. Even those who are crazy and or racist.

Who knows what I would find out about the guy. Deep down, he could be a great person that has lived an ignorant life.

I would definitely have a beer with him.

[TheKentuckian]

4. If invited by the President, sure. I'd prefer a Sammie Smith's India Pale or

a Winter's Welcome. Maybe a glass of mead.

[eShirl]

5. Is he buying? n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

6. That was my first thought.

[MADem]

7. I don't like beer. I might have a sandwich and a cup of coffee with him.

Particularly if he picked up the tab.

I still think he doesn't "get it" though, and I also believe that he lied about the conversation with Lucia Whalen.

[Ian David]

8. If someone else is buying, I'd have a beer with Hitler. n/t

[liberal N proud]

9. I have no reason to turn down beer

[TorchTheWitch]

10. No, but only because I don't drink beer

I would certainly have a chat with him whatever the drinks are or if there are any drinks at all.

I'm never one to avoid someone because of the knee-jerk opinions of other people I don't know and whose motives I don't know. If I did that would make me quite prejudiced. I'll talk to and associate with whoever I like and decide for myself if someone is or isn't worthy of my interacting with them based on my own personal experiences with that person and not on the beliefs, opinions and prejudices of others.

But of course, I was raised to believe that being prejudiced was a bad thing and not to judge a book by its cover.

[and-justice-for-all]

11. Mr. Crowley, what went down in your head...

(Oh) Mr. Crowley, did you talk to the dead
Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all those people with magic
(Yeah)You waited on Satan's call

Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred, manifest on this earth
(Oh)Conceived in the eye of a secret
Yeah, they scattered the afterbirth

Solo

Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse?
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear that maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall

(Solo)

Was it polemically sent?
I wanna know what you meant
I wanna know
I wanna know what you meant, yeah!

- Ozzy.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

12. Nah, I'd have to be too careful about what I say

I don't want to say anything to get him interested in investigating further. He may be a nice person who had a bad moment. But in general, I don't trust cops. They are not on my side.

:hi:

[AsahinaKimi]

13. Can I get an Asahi?

Asahi biru o kudasai

[aikoaiko]

14. I'll take a Peroni, thank you very much.

[ThomWV]

25. Back when I was young that was my favorite beer in the world

I had the good fortune to visit Japan a numer of times when I was in my early 20's. I used to drink back in those days. I came to like Asahi better than any other beer.

[nc4bo]

15. Depends on whether the beer is for drinking enjoyment or for pouring over his head.

If the latter, yes I would.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

16. That was easy

The answer is no. Not because of Crowley or what he did to Gates, but rather that he is drinking beer, which to me tastes vile and is full of calories to boot. I would talk with him, perhaps over a lunch or a drink of tea or water, though. Perhaps he could help me get over my terror of police.

[FarCenter]

17. If it is "free, as in beer", yes -- especially if Obama is buying!

[Obamanaut]

18. I only have about two beers a year now, so yes, I'll have a beer

with anyone if it will get me the third one.

[mrs_p]

19. i voted no

as i just don't think we would "click"

[Kind of Blue]

20. Absolutely not.

I think he is a liar and I'm just glad Gates is a better human than I because he did the right thing by meeting with him. Hoping the teachable moment is forthcoming.

[timtom]

21. Absolutely not!

There's a good chance he would bust me for public intoxication once we got outside.

[ashling]

22. I do not drink beer

that is all

[slackmaster]

23. Of course I would

Why would anyone refuse to, other than personal issues with alcohol?

[ThomWV]

24. Fuck no - you drink a beer with a cop and 15 minutes later he'll arrest you for DUI

And the only reason he'll wait 15 minutes is to make sure the breathilizer nails you.

[Laelth]

26. Never speak to the police without an attorney present.

I am an attorney, and I still wouldn't want to talk to this guy.

I am thankful that there are people willing to serve the community as police officers. I think they generally deserve better pay and treatment, but I still don't talk to them if I can help it.

:dem:

-Laelth

[Liberal_in_LA]

27. I wondered the same. Thanks for posting this poll

question should be: Would you have a beer with the cop who hauled you off your porch in handcuffs?

[WI_DEM]

28. Sure he was willing to meet with Obama and Gates and they were willing to meet with him

so why not?

[proteus_lives]

29. Yes.

After that has been written about, yelled at him and discussed about him. I'd like to see for myself.

[JitterbugPerfume]

30. I don't drink alcohol and

men in uniform are not especially attractive to me. I might get flamed for saying it , but I don't trust 'em

[Orsino]

31. Only in my own house, in front of witnesses. n/t

[SteppingRazor]

32. Probably not. I tend to get loud when drunk, and I'm afraid he'd arrest me.

:P

[Kievan Rus]

33. Depends on what kind of beer it was

[TahitiNut]

35. What? And be arrested for being drunk and disorderly? Nope.

:shrug:

[Balbus]

37. You could put just about anything after the words "would you have a beer .."

And I'd say yes.

[Iggo]

38. I don't drink anymore.

And when I did, I didn't drink with cops.

So I'm guessing No.
