But an alleged anti-gay slur by Pike also figured in a racial and sexual discrimination lawsuit a former police officer filed against the department, which ended in a $240,000 settlement in 2008.

1. Honored in 2006 for NOT using pepper spray on a patient threatening police with scissors!

:wow:

2. Let us face FACTS, he was pissed off at the young people

sitting in a line so he decided to pepper spray them in hopes of starting a riot. The police forces around the country are using J. Edger Hoovers playbook. Undermine the cause by forcing a group toward violence. The bullshit logic put forth after the assault makes no sense - it is more dangerous to pick up non-violent protesters then to pepper spray them? Really? Maybe we should just think that one through for a minute. I know it is impossible for PIGS to understand this, but a real COP would have squatted down to their level and had a discussion about civil liberties on campus. Maybe...oh...I dunno TALK them into moving.

I know...RADICAL IDEA for law enforcement...negotiate first verbally. PIGS, however lack the cognitive abilities to do so. Pike decided to be a PIG and now will be infamous even when his kids are old.

Way to GO PIG!

3. Thank you for not helping in any way.

Dehumanizing epithets are a necessary prelude to violence. Stop it NOW.

4. Your point is well taken, but . . .

I think Lieutenant Pike has already dehumanized himself.

Anybody else think Pike still honestly ha no idea what all the fuss is about?
