Kang Wong, 84, was jaywalking on New York City’s Upper West Side on Sunday when police stopped him and attempted to issue him a ticket for the time-honored infraction among New Yorkers. He ended up in a hospital after a police beating.

I could post about my training and natural talent with the M60 machine gun. that would be just as relevant as your ludicrous baton post.

Batons were not used.
Machine guns were not used.
The old fart fell when he was pushed.
He was then restrained by using a lot of officers and a bunch of different pairs of hands.

Except of course, that in goofy verga reality, a bunch of pairs of hands holding old Mister Wong immobile was as likely to hurt him as if they had barbecued him with a flamethrower.

You have made your position clear: Pigs bad. Every time. They oppress the citizenry when they put their socks on in the morning. Children are torn from their parents every time the police sit in the station house and fill out paperwork.
You are unmistakably clear in what you believe, but what you spew out isn't rational.

The person who made bad things happen was Kang Wong.
People were getting killed jaywalking at that particular subway station. The locals demanded that the city put a stop to it. the city detailed some officers to write tickets for a while until people were careful crossing.

Mister Wong decided that he wasn't going to pay a ticket, and started a row with the officer. in said row his cheek was scraped as he fell to the ground.

The officer doesn't bear even part of the blame for what happened to Wong. Kang Wong was wholly in the wrong.

I blast the cops when they are in the wrong, check any number of different “Donutwatch” threads. but I do not have the irrational hatred of cops that you display, and I evaluate each thread for its merits.

On this one, there is no harm no foul, and you yourself thought that you could try to make the police look out of control by intimating (although not claiming it outright) that batons were used...when weapons of any sort were not part of the story. That, verga, is dishonest rhetoric on your part.

Did I “blast the cops” no. I agreed with the cops. You are entitled to your opinions, but not entitled to twist what I have said. Feel free to have the last word.
