Reply #124: The only way you can make a point

is by raising unprovable bullshit scenarios. What would happen if Condi Rice assaulted a police officer? I don't know. It hasn't happened, and therefore neither you nor I have a reasonable prediction of what would occur. Trying to make a definative assumption on the matter is just plain stupid.

The officer is pressing charges because that's what's required of them. If a police officer is assaulted, it must be reported. After any subsequent investigation, the charges can easily (and most likely will be) dropped, but you always report it to leave the options open. Its regulation.

The less people assumed about things, the better off we'd all be. There are some things that are clear-cut black-and-white. The officer did his job, like it or not. In all liklihood, nothing will result of it and the issue will be forgotten in three days. Why is everybody acting like the Thought Police is knocking on their door?

(BTW, I know the answer to that last rhetorical question, but that's for a different time)
