"As for expected treatment, the Norman PD ARE agressive and mean, at least occaisionally."

Are you saying that we should back off, in our attempts to get at the truth about this situation in Norman, OK, because the police may or may not have been mean?

I, frankly, think they dropped the ball, and I'm no fan of police. I've got a libertarian streak a mile wide, and to me, police are a necessary evil, like lawyers. If we were all mature adults, we'd have little need for police or lawyers. But, clearly, we're not all mature adults.

No, I'm saying that jumping to conclusions seems to be the major source of exercise for some people. I don't normally disagree with most of the posters here on FR, but I'm getting really tired of people who automatically suspect that someone is a terrorist because they're from the Middle East, especially here in Central Oklahoma, where our last two bombers have been Americans.

In other words, anyone who is here should get the same treatment, under the law. You noted, perhaps, that Cheema took a lie-detector test? I expect if they had anything that they found questionable, he'd not be back in his apartment right now. Law is Law. We need to obey our own laws, or we have no business telling anyone else to obey their own laws.
