daily BEAST huh

[I cannot think of a name]

“Conservatives, and many liberals, fight with that truth. But the fact of the matter is the equal protection they cling to is not the reality.”

The fact of the matter is - I have NO idea why the cop stands there and lets ANYBODY do this. A bit of stick time IS in order.

[PROCON]

Guilty.

[HiTech RedNeck]

It might be pity. “Okay crazy lady, how DO you feed the 40 cats you have at home?”

[kaehurowing]

She can get away with it because she’s a woman, not because she’s white. And the writer as a black woman can probably get away with it as well.

If you were a guy, white or black, you understand (if you have any brains) that the police officer probably will clock you if you try that. As would any other guy do if you behaved like that. It’s called common sense.

[Gasshog]

Shes in his face, thats in his space.

Id would have Maced that look offa her face.

Not that I’m for unnecessary roughness, but if “you tube” the 1968 Chicago Democrat Convention footage, the boys in blue were dishing out a helluva lot of wood shampoo treatments over the course of a few days....sigh, the good old days.

[windsorknot]

Policeman: Yo,lady, do you every brush and floss?

[Fresh Wind]

Shouting isn’t quite the same thing as pulling a gun, or trying to grab the cop’s gun.

[ansel12]

Anyone can do in a public forum with the cameras running.

[HiTech RedNeck]

But that wasn’t the end of the story though. The outrage reverberated for a generation.

[Gasshog]

I CANT SEE dum de dom dom dom dom... I KANT SEE!!!!

[jessduntno]

“Yes, some people have been inconvenienced by traffic delays or annoyed by supportive athletes.”

...and some cops have been killed...

...whatever...

NY Crimes, what a rag.

Ah yes, RAT-on-RAT violence...one of my favorite things.

[faithhopecharity]

just in general, it is not an especially brilliant idea to “get in the face and shout at” anybody. each person has his or her limit to what s/he is willing to “take” before giving something back...
something not necessarily in the spirit of Christmas

[GladesGuru]

“...nor do they see her as threatening.”

White girls may bleed a lot, but they rarely shoot a lot, especially do they not shoot uniformed officers.

[Vigilanteman]

What a nimrod. Does this twit really think she knows more about the facts of the cases (as cherry-picked by the enemedia with an agenda) than two multi-racial grand juries who heard all of the evidence?

That's the trouble with libtards. They know not what they know not. They are fools to be shunned because they refuse to learn.

That is only one picture. We don't know for sure that he didn't practice baton training on her. He should have. She definitely invaded his space.

[17th Miss Regt]

To the contrary, it remains a virtue to which this country aspires, but it’s one that only some of us can embrace.

Interesting phraseology here.

... but it’s one that only some of us can embrace.

Embracing requires an action on the part of a person. So the writer says she cannot initiate action to embrace. That seems to imply simple laziness or an unwillingness to act - someone else must start her embracing. Tell her to get off her duff and do the embracing.
