ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This kind of broad brush attack doesn't advance our cause. It's over the top and firmly against the terms of service.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Jul 10, 2014, 10:42 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Juries don't deal with TOS as per skinner. Just community standard violations.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's cop hate, but most DUers hate cops, so vote to keep as within community standards. Those who object to hating and stereotyping all cops need to let it go--that battle has been fought and lost.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "It's over the top and firmly against the terms of service." No it isn't. Alerter needs to allow people to express their opinion. The alterted post is that poster's opinion.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
