The Thin Blue Line.

[TerpEagle]

Do you really give a fat rat's fuck about a hug?

The only reality show I watch (aside from occasionally checking out the crabbers in Alaska) is "The First 48" and I've seen cops hug non-po-po murderers after they confess under questioning.

The fact that they didn't hose him down while he was pumping rounds into that car is a legit issue ... but a hug after he was disarmed and taken into custody?

Come on.

Unless you're telling me that it's typical for police officers to hug someone in this situation after he murdered someone, shot up his car with his daughter in it, and then shot it up again after he turned his daughter over, it's a clear sign of preferential treatment.

That's the problem. That's the problem with all of these police incidents. The police (and often the prosecutors) treat fellow police much differently than the average citizen. Why some people think that's ok boggles my mind.

As for the quality of my "showing", guess how many fucks I give or have ever given.

Wouldnt pay support for his nine kids but did pay for his mistress's furniture. A real gem this guy.

It's obvious you don't give a fuck, you're sloppy as usual. Trot out some statistics.

[slag]

I agree that citizen would likely have been fired on after the daughter was given to the cops and he started shooting into the ex-wife's car again.

I just don't see a huge issue about the hug after he was taken into custody.

Innocent people killed by police officer: 1

Innocent children put in harms way by a police officer: 1

Police officers hugged and comforted after incident: 1

He ran his wife off the fucking road and killed her in cold blood.

When he doesn't get convicted of murder in the 1st degree, then you will have a legitimate complaint.

That's the point. Instead of shooting him like they would an average citizen, they didn't shoot him and gave him a hug. It's like the cops wanted to make it even clearer that this guy was being given special treatment.

You or I would have likely already been given a death sentence in this situation.

and the question, for the sake of RSE's argument

At what point did the cops on the scene know he was a cop??

[slag]

A) WTF is the "showing" reference you made to me?

B) WTF are you blathering about? I just got done telling you I've seen police hug non-police murderers. The guy gave up. The fact that the hug was immediately after the murder or some time after is irrelevant.

I get it ... you don't like cop favoritism to cops.

But, you dilute your argument with this hug bullshit.

Yes, bullshit.

[Greenstealth]

Innocent people killed by police officer: 1

Police officers hugged and comforted after incident: 1

What if other officers got hugs because of the incident?

[RSE]

How did they know the wife was dead in the car? She could have been barely alive. By standing back and not taking him down once he started firing again, they made sure he finished her off. Indefensible.

Yes, bullshit.

The actual act of the hug is superficial and just a more visible sign of the favoritism.

Instead of shooting a suspect who was firing a weapon into a vehicle, they didn't shoot him. They comforted him. If you think the "hug" is what this is all about from my standpoint you're choosing to focus on that. It's what the hug replaced.

This is what you get from the cops when you are not a cop:
