Conservatives are not always on the side of the government. Quite the contrary, we say that they have done a terrible job when they have (like with government spending). However, to be on the side of the criminals and against the police is just ridiculous. The police are local citizens who WORK FOR US in a very dangerous job and are not part of the federal government. They try to keep you safe and you lefties are continually on the side of the criminal. CRAZY!

Just admit you know nothing.. please get it over with. Your assertion that local, county or state government is incapable of being evil, wrong, or even slightly overstepping.. Is well absolute proof that you are a twelve year old girl...

the notion that the cops don't have the right the right to kick down doors and use flash bangs to take a subject when they don't need to do so to save a life is extremely left wing budgee.... we need that evidence, allowing somebody to escape justice by flushing a toilet is unthinkable, why it would just make the whole socio-economic system collapse.......
the guy was armed with pit bulls... the girl was armed with a uh an auhh ayuhh a baby, yeah a baby....
back when Ruby Ridge happened? it was the RIGHT WINGERS that were screamng about this stuff, they said the leftists were fascist... now the right seems to think it's the only way to do police work...

Exactly why I say there is no such thing as two parties. It's all one party. Sole intention is the removal of all individual rights.

Now this is just amazing.. Guy freaks out because cops are trying to shoot him.. So the cops do just that.
Good and noble cops just want to help.
A Pennsylvania man has died after being tasered by local police, and the Civil Rights section of the FBI's Pittsburgh office has now opened a preliminary investigation. Although the cause of death has not yet been determined, witnesses insist the man was kicked and beaten by police officers after he was forced to the ground and handcuffed. Advertisement
Residents in Swissvale, PA had called police after they observed 37 year old Andre Thomas knocking on doors in the middle of the night and yelling that someone was trying to shoot him.
According to Allegheny County Police Assistant Supt. James Morton, when the officers arrived Thomas "was like yelling and screaming and acting really erratically, and they didn't know what the situation was. So they asked him just to calm down and so forth and he made a movement towards them. So they had to tase him."
However, witnesses insist that Thomas was then brutalized by police, with one telling KDKA News that "after he was tased and handcuffed, one officer used a football-type kick and stomped him in the head."
Another woman recounted to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette what she saw after four officers forced Thomas to the ground. "'They killed that man. They killed him. They killed him,' she added, her hands trembling. The woman said she saw one officer stomp on Mr. Thomas's upper back, holding his foot there while the subject lay on the sidewalk with his head hanging over the curb. Another officer 'reared back and punched him in the head with all his might,' she said."
Thomas vomited, then lay motionless. An ambulance arrived and he was was treated at the scene by emergency medical personnel. Police allege Thomas was conscious at the time, but he was pronounced dead after being taken to a local hospital.
Andre Thomas's father, Dennis Thomas, now says, "I want to know what happened, what the particulars of the incident were that caused my son's death."

You guys don't seem to have a clue about this drug issue. It's not simply that these druggies are taking an illegal substance. That's only a small part of the problem. They also steal and commit robberies to feed their habit. They are often very violent.
Just a couple of days ago, a drugged-up nutjob stabbed his girlfriend a couple of buildings down from one of my low income apartment buildings. It's just crazy the stuff these druggies do on a regular basis.
I just evicted a young woman who was working as a prostitute to support her drug habit. It was a fiasco, with her even leaving her 2 very young female children with the Johns (many of whom were convicted criminals). I don't even want to think about what might be happening to those children!!! I'm sure that you lefties wouldn't approve, but I went to Children's services to report this situation. I'm hoping that they will intervene before these children are seriously injured or killed. What have drugs done to her? What has her drug habit done to her children? It is just inconceivable to me that you lefties don't actually understand this drug issue. This is not a victimless crime!

PM, my first job out of high school was being a blood drawer at one of the largest county hospitals in the country at the time. that county was the PCP capitol of the US at the time, every friday and saturday night we had stabbings; lots of 'em.... it's not like we don't have a clue... it seems like you are shocked at human behaviour... MAO's solution really was the only absolute solution...

The cops did NOT violate anyone's civil rights in this case and certainly did not murder anyone. The cops do NOT get no-knock warrants without significant evidence. Normally, they will have made undercover drug buys; have knowledge that drugs will be in the house on a certain date at a certain time; and have good reason to believe that there is a significant danger to the cops when they have a no-knock warrant.
However, once again, your post proves my point. You lefties are always on the side of the criminals!

It sounds to me like you presume the cop to be guilty even after he was found not guilty.

Americans are world's top drug users: study
Americans are the world's top consumers of cannabis and cocaine despite punitive US drug laws, according to an international study published in the online scientific magazine PLoS Medicine.
The study, released Monday, revealed that 16.2 percent of Americans had tried cocaine at least once, and 42.4 percent had used marijuana.
In second-place New Zealand, just 4.3 percent of study participants had used cocaine, and 41.9 percent marijuana.
The research was conducted at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, based on World Health Organization data from 54,068 people in 17 countries.
Rates of participation differed from country to country, and researchers noted uncertainty over how honestly people report their own drug use.
"Nevertheless, the findings present comprehensive data on the patterns of drug use from national samples representing all regions of the world," a PLoS statement said.
A vast majority of survey participants from the United States, Europe, Japan and New Zealand had consumed alcohol, compared to smaller percentages from the Middle East, Africa and China.
The data also revealed socioeconomic patterns in drug use. Single young adult men with high income had the greatest tendency to regularly use drugs.
Drug use "does not appear to be simply related to drug policy," the researchers wrote, "since countries with more stringent policies toward illegal drug use did not have lower levels of such drug use than countries with more liberal policies."
In the Netherlands, where drug policy is more liberal than the United States, 1.9 percent of survey participants said they had used cocaine and 19.8 percent marijuana.
Twelve US 12 states including California permit medical use of marijuana, but possession and use remains prohibited under federal law.
And despite the US government's massive anti-drug efforts, the United States remains the world's top drug market, one amply supplied by South American cartels.
The US Drug Enforcement Agency has observed ever larger quantities of illegal drugs pouring into the country.
"We are seizing greater quantities of illegal drugs than ever before," said a DEA statement last week.
In 2007, agents seized 41 metric tons of cocaine in just two raids, and denied drug traffickers record-breaking revenue of 3.5 billion dollars for the year, it said.

That's almost half the population... LOL And that's only the people who admitted it.
Defend anti-drug laws when half the population is guilty... Now that's some grade A democracy for you.

Everyone's doing it? Is that a confession? I'm certainly not doing it, nor do I have any friends that are doing it.
