Chris, you are entitled to your opinion.  Most of this discussion IS opinion.  All of the political crap is mostly party line regurgitation.  But when it comes to the facts, I verify what I say as well.  You are entitled to your opinion of the Police, as well as the convenient excuse that StephenDare! uses as well..."I don't hate all Cops, I like some of them".  You are entitled to your opinion of me, or any other poster here.  Your name calling and virulent language is evidence of your willingness to leave facts behind.  I'll leave this where it is.

Well, I was going to edit my post as well to eliminate the "liar" stuff, but mine was just deleted....hmm.

Well, my apologies for being uncivil to you.

I don't hate cops. Or even hate any particular cop. That's a very strong word. Some of them have attitude problems, which I find disappointing. But many cops take great pride in being professional, and I appreciate that. In short, just like any other given group of people.

And I think you derail your own interactions on this site to a great extent, because you paraphrase what you think the other person's gist is, and often you wind up coming out with these sweeping generalities that don't reflect what the other person actually meant. That immediately polarizes the conversation and ends any rational discussion, because now you're in an argument over that nonsense rather than discussing the actual point. It is uniquely infuriating, and I find myself in that position almost every time I talk with you on here. It gets frustrating.

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

You've convinced yourself I hate cops. That isn't what I said, and isn't how I feel. This isn't something where you can just say "we'll agree to disagree" because what you're doing is trying to dictate to me how I feel about something, and you're not even doing it accurately. That is a real problem. I've told you how I feel, pointed out that I never said the sweeping generality you have attributed to me and that I don't feel that way, and yet you continue trying to dictate my own feelings to me. This is really quite silly. I've already told you how I feel, who are you to argue with me? Especially when you're attributing these feelings and sweeping generalities that aren't accurate.

It takes two.  If you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem.  Just sayin'.

As am I in this case, but making an off-topic point.

And since you weren't part of the solution, or even the discussion, what does that make you?

RedneckWestsider, you do realize that coming back and editing your own posts to act as though whoever responded to you didn't have a point doesn't work, right? Because my response was posted at 8:47am and this is the edit tag now attached to your post;
