The police are practicing for when they go after gun owners.

Sounds like everybody was hysterical, not just the cops.

You must have missed the part where it said 20 year old girls. To call 20 year old girls, hysterical, would be redundant.

“Undercover agents” means they were trying to look like everybody else. So how the freak are the girls supposed to know they are law enforcement? Of course the girls ran. Of course they drove off when these hoodlums jumped on her vehicle and tried breaking the windows. And pulled weapons. The girl saw hoodlums acting aggressively toward her and her girlfriend(s). She did the the right thing. The MORONS with the badges are lucky people didn’t get killed. What they did was wrong. What they did SHOULD be illegal. At the very bare minimum they should pay for the damages to the vehicle. They SHOULD be paying a lot more than that - they should be unemployed. This crap needs to stop.

Not in Obama's Amerika. It's only going to get worse from here on out.

If we had cops as attentive to terrorists as they are to kids buying beer, maybe we could all sleep a little easier at night.

Why? Terrorists kill people which is good for the planet. Miserable citizens kill themselves which is good for the planet. Why allow any peace to exist at all? /end sarc

What if the girls, properly fearing for their safety, shot one/some of the marauders?

This crap has got to stop. Even if it was beer, so what? This kind of reaction is insane.

I agree. I always thought the police were here to help you. Now I know different. I was the victim of an very minor assault. I gave a statement and made the mistake of not reading it when I signed. Stupid, I know but then I thought cops were honest people. When I talked to the prosecutor, I realized that what they had written about this bore no resemblance to what happened. It read like attempted murder. It made me so angry, I threatened not to tesify if they called me.

I shared your idea as the first thought that came to mind.

It should’ve only taken one officer stopping the vehicle as it entered the street.

Why were they stopping it in a parking lot, on private property?

It really sounds like a planned raid on the store, known to police to sell alcohol to minors, and they needed some proof PDQ.

Don't misunderstand

I don't think I misunderstood, this is exactly what you said

When the liquor Schutzstaffel officers tried to stop her as she left the store, she ran instead of stopping and showing them what she bought. She and her girlfriend jumped in their vehicle, rolled up the windows, and drove off, running over two officers in the process. Sounds like everybody was hysterical, not just the cops.

I read the story. You have stated things that are not found in the story. Nowhere does it say she ran, nowhere does it say they jumped into the vehicle and rolled up the windows. Nowhere does is say she "ran over" two officers.

Sounds like everybody was hysterical,

Including you!

Last time I was home I was on the fwy heading home when a plainclothes HWP cop car pulls me over. There was no cause since I had not violated any road rules. He comes over and dumbfoundly tries to get a date with me. He chats me up for about fifteen minutes and when I kept insisting for him to tell me what law I violated he just comes back with “well take it easy” - gets back in his patrol car and leaves. I must have sat there a good five minutes trying to get my nerves under control. I was too shook to get his number. In any case he would have denied it.

Thanks for the link. It shows that in addition to the LaCroix bottled water the sorority girls also had COOKIE DOUGH AND ICE CREAM that they had bought. That was highly suspicious for University of Virginia students. The six plainclothes cops showed considerable restraint by not wrestling the sorority sisters to the ground. They clearly deserve to be awarded metals for valor and immediate promotions.

All law enforcement officers can beam with pride that they have these 5 brother officers and 1 sister officer in the LEO fraternity.

The only thing is that the newspaper articles published the name of the impacted University of Virginia student but not the names of these valiant officers. I guess they must possess great modesty in addition to the valor they possess.

No, all cops are this stupid...not just in VA.

I'm just thankful she didn't have her dog with her.

I called the cops "Schutzstaffel." You appear to have missed the reference. Perhaps you have not heard of the Nazi SS, Hitler's enforcers. You see? This is not a compliment to the ABC officers. I agree that they behaved very badly and could have gotten themselves and innocent people killed. Nota bene: I also gave a rather contemptuous headline of my own to the article I attached to my prior post. This too could be construed as evidence that I don't support the actions of the cops.

If I were in historic Charlottesville, Virginia, one of the most beautiful and gracious towns in the US (and I have been there often, have you?) I would not conclude I was being surrounded by a group of rapists. It's vanishingly unlikely a college girl just outside of a supermarket in Charlottesville would be surrounded by seven rapists at one time, all producing badges. Immediately concluding that men = rape is what makes Miss Daly sound a little excitable. Charlottesville is not LA or New York City or Chicago and it is not a center for rampaging packs of rapists. I wonder why she didn't step back into the well-lit store instead of dashing for her car?

That doesn't excuse what the cops did by any means. I keep saying that and I'm beginning to wonder how many more times I have to write those words in different ways before you recognize that I mean them.

As it happens, my daughter just finished university last year and is dating a cop. She thinks the girls were being excitable, too. I expect to hear the opinion of the cop friend later this evening.

By the way, gratuitous insults, like calling me "hysterical," are not conducive to communication. You would be hard-pressed to identify one word in my posts that is excessively emotional. But if you like, you can continue arguing about it with yourself. I have work to do. Have a great evening.
