That's not being a cop. That's being a fascist thug. eom MohRokTah Aug 2014 #12

That is reality. rudolph the red Aug 2014 #15

That is bullshit and made up nonsense. MohRokTah Aug 2014 #22

I'm sorry, you and I have a very different view, rudolph the red Aug 2014 #23

"Wait and see" has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of this sub thread MohRokTah Aug 2014 #39

"treat everyone as a suspect" and "wait for the facts" seem pretty different to me fishwax Aug 2014 #73

Maybe if you would have said "potential risk", folks would not misunderstand what you mean. Fred Sanders Aug 2014 #34

You are correct, I misspoke. rudolph the red Aug 2014 #35

"They have to treat everyone as a suspect. " cui bono Aug 2014 #14

No they aren't, but the cop doesn't know that rudolph the red Aug 2014 #17

So statistically speaking what are the chances someone a cop stops and talks to is a murderer? cui bono Aug 2014 #18

I don't know the stats, sorry. I'm sure that an internet search will find them. rudolph the red Aug 2014 #20

You made the assertion, it's up to you to provide the info to justify it. cui bono Aug 2014 #25

I don't know the specific stats, nor do I have them memorized rudolph the red Aug 2014 #36

Good thing you aren't a cop. MohRokTah Aug 2014 #40

And for no reason since they don't even know the probability of that being the case. n/t cui bono Aug 2014 #46

Yep rudolph the red Aug 2014 #59

By your logic Tsiyu Aug 2014 #89

So there's no rational reason for you thinking that cops need to treat everyone as a suspect. cui bono Aug 2014 #45

No, you are right rudolph the red Aug 2014 #60

OTOH, WWSHD? randome Aug 2014 #99

I have had two police officers come to my house exboyfil Aug 2014 #52

Lots of corruption and prejudice. MoonRiver Aug 2014 #96
