2. Idiot police like Racist Thug Crowley have no "common sense"

They have an US vs Them, primitive, ignorant and naive low functioning mentality, that allows them to write tickets for guys like this and Gates, kill fleeing suspects, beat up Black men with Night Sticks and Mace and Tazer anti-War Protesters.

They are Scum most of them.
