3. DU seems to be gathering more of these

(I'm not sure what a good term is?) outrage pieces? Bad cop porn? Some of them might actually have some informational value ... And some of them seem to be aimed simply for a buzz. There's always reddit, folks.

Cameras have clearly shown us we have a lot of bad cops. We need to fix this problem.
Some of the police are border line fascists.

4. She does a lot of things that sober people would totally do

pleading to her status as a deputy sheriff, to having been assembling furniture, and to wearing contact lenses. she invited an officer into her dad's car with her.


She even tried speaking bad Spanish to the Hispanic officer who pulled her over. She's Italian. None of that helped her get out of a DUI and careless driving charge. The sobriety test is entertaining to watch. The cops gave her every chance to prove she's sober, and she failed.

She didn't have any id. But mainly she was using her police officer job to try to weasel out of DWI.

8. Another DU video showing rotten cops - guess we're the anti-cop party by extension?

Time to curb these - we get the point- Like all professions there are good ones and bad ones.

Why keep hammering day after day, usually the same group of posters.

11. Nah - I don't think I'll shut up about this

I sincerely believe you are doing a great disservice to DU and Democrats in general by these constant posts. If you feel strongly about it , notify an administrator, otherwise I'll continue to criticize your seemingly vendetta against the police.

Yes, I know and acknowledge there is abusive, insensitive, ignorant cops and you've made your point over and over. Most of us here and in America know that cops are human and have human faults, they aren't perfect and , frankly, they have a tough , thankless job for the most part.

Some day I pray they become what we would like all law-enforcement officers to be - until that day, we can acknowledge their faults but still give them our ( DU and Democrat) support - or , at least, I can.

Dictate to me to what I can post, free speech for you, but not for me.

It's up to the administrators, let them solve this- If they want to have anti-cop videos posted day after day multiple times and have their site known for it - so be it.
I'll continue to bitch until told to stop about this or be banned from DU
