While the majoirty (probably close to 60%) of cops are not punk scum, there are quite a few who are, and are cops primarily for the power trip.

How much detail is one to post. It would take hours todetail everything, wiseacre.

You a cop, or just a boot licker?

Anyway, it took all the guts i had just to tell this, so I will leave it at that. My stomach hurt all afternoon just from posting it. Maybe i shouldn't have, but it just seemed the time.

Drop it, please. I have to, i can't dwell on it anymore. I just thought i could get it out here, sort of anonymously. Guess not.

Before you let some person drag you into a nonsensical argument that has nothing to do with reality, check his posting history to find out if that is all he does.

If it is, then you will realize that the forum only serves as an emontional release for him, and that he has no interest in the subject at all.

I'm late to this party but thanks for the nice exposition of how an anecdote is one thing and a statistic is quite another.

I kind of like the moral conclusion you draw too.

Two thumbs up. Fine family fare.
