Israel is a country. Now, da joooos are a different story.
Yup, where is that death panel now? Oopps, that is just for the US citizens.
I'll be sure to get them to call on you next winter as they plan to come back each year I'm sure they need friends there.
They'll make for great conversation, and a fun time.
Honest.

I have never and would never say that the police are always in the right. Just as you would never say that they are EVER in the right
>I have never and would never say that the police are always in the right.
True, but the implication in your statement [the “>>>” & quoted one further down] is that those of us who ARE leery of the direction and mentality that the police seem to be exhibiting are intent on “painting them the bad-guy.”
>Just as you would never say that they are EVER in the right
Again, the underlying thought here, that you are trying to ascribe to me, is that I am incapable of admitting that the police are “EVER in the right.”
>>> Now is this going to be a hate cops thread or will that ilk be shutting their collective yap due to the victim being a scumbag illegal alien?
First off, is it a “hate cops” attitude to note (and be disturbed by) the police are being increasingly “militarized?”
Second, is it a “hate cops” mentality to note that the police (and other law enforcement agents like FBI and ATF) are being used increasingly against innocent people? {Not that THIS story is about an innocent person, but the question does come up in the context of your ‘cop hater’ accusation.}
Third, it it a “hate cops” mentality to note that they seem to be enforcing increasingly arbitrary & contradictory laws? {Consider a highway in CA with a posted speedlimit of, say, 65 where everyone is going, say, 80; if you follow the speed limit you are guilty of “obstructing traffic,” if you “go with the flow” you are guilty of speeding.}
