poobah-Seriously? Perhaps you missed the word that I put in capital letters. You are truly drinking the Kool-Aid if you believe that only Republicans or conservatives do this.

I would've thought you were smarter than a lot of the hyperpartisans on this site. Silly me. I prefer to vote for the best candidate, not the party line but thanks for painting me with a broad brush. What a tool.

Um, poobah, could you help me out? I'm drawing a blank. Is there ANY politician in the history of the world who hasn't tossed their beliefs aside for political expediency?

Troublemaker-Yes, I'm sure you have your suspect all wrapped up in a big red bow and JPD is ignoring you.

concrete-Don't worry, he's always like that. The police are all big meanies and society would be much better off w/o someone to enforce the rules. He's the type that if you gave him a million dollars, he'd complain about the taxes.

JPD, keep up the good work!

janesvillean-Thanks for the condescending answer but yes, I do realize the implications of a successful lawsuit. My first thought was why now? Perhaps a brilliant insight from you would explain why the ACLU have ignored this for years in several states. I personally don't care one way or the other but at least you smugly labeled me a right wing.

And the ACLU is also going after the other states that have had voter ID for years too, right?

fromjanesville-RE you're post about possible gun toting juveniles: NLEOMF.org "Averages over the Last Decade"
163 officer deaths per year, 59,069 assaults per year 16,041 injuries per year, over 19,000 killed overall. Other than the deaths, not all assaults and injuries are reported. Plenty of juveniles assault and injure officers, and why don't you ask the families of officers killed by juveniles what they think of little Johnny?

As far as the "peace officer" rant? FYI, it's always been about law enforcement. A lawful order is just that, lawful. You're rights aren't unlimited. Lots of things out there you can't do or say, ie yelling fire in the theatre or making jokes about bombs at the airport. Leave the area, and you choose to ignore it, sucks to be you. Too bad you had a negative experience with a cop.

fromjanesville-Much like the media, liberal or conservative, you're leaving quite a bit out. Strange, but the article you promote ALSO includes every poster's belief the speeding cop was wrong. Current P1 headline talks about cops saving the lives of a child and her drunken mother who got her car struck on the train tracks. But, shhhh, let's not bring that up either.

Also FYI, the reason most police don't like the cellphone video is because, like your comments, they don't tell the whole story. Some creative people then upload them to youtube with all sorts of menacing music and commentary w/o knowing what led up to the confrontation. Why show the whole 15 minute encounter when you only have to show 20 seconds to advance your agenda?

While I think of it, videotaping and uploading every single citizen contact is a great idea. The average cop only deals with 1 or 2 people a day so I'm sure they wouldn't have to increase their storage space. Please.

fromjanesville-You're right, who needs the cops? Get rid of them! You and all of your cop hating buddies can then protect us all from anarchy.

fromjanesville-Wow! Instead of policeone, I think a website more suitable for you is copblock.org. I'm sure you'd find plenty of cop hating buddies. It's nice to know that you paint all cops as villainous scum trampling your rights. I've seen and heard people echo sentiments like yours (like in the Oakland article) but funny, when you dial 911, the parks department doesn't show up. I'm sure you wouldn't criticize the plumber who shows up to fix your drain, right?

Are there some bad cops? Sure. Name me one profession on this planet that doesn't have problems. Try reading the "Man in the Arena" speech by Theodore Roosevelt or better yet, do a ride-along with a cop so you might know what you'e talking about.
