How about this, Dave? Anything on this page you agree with?

I agree that the cops should be allowed to do their jobs. Rodney King
should be in jail, and not the recipient of a large sum of money.

When people are told to freeze by the cops, they should do so.
Responding with any action which could be interpreted as resisting
arrest is an opening for the cops to use whatever force they deem
necessary to subdue you.

What I consider brutality is when the cops use more force than
necessary, or when they use force when the perpetrator is sufficiently
restrained.

If a cop needs 41 shots to kill his suspect, he needs to go back to
the range for some remedial firearms training and practice. It
shouldn't take more than two or three well placed shots to bring down
a scumbag. There's no need to waste good ammo.......

Good. Then you agree that the ACLU does some good work. Thank you. I knew
you didn't mean what you said earlier.


I never said that EVERYTHING the ACLU does is bad. God!, what does a
person have to do to pound in some sense into your thick head.

I said that the ACLU, as a rights advocate, has the duty to take on
all cases of "rights" abuse, including some cases which should never
see the light of day. By doing so they blaze the trail for all sorts
of deviant behavior to see the light of day, under the guise of
"freedom of expression".
