63. Stupid AND Annoying

Sun Dec 21, 2014, 05:52 PM

Dec 2014

Your pontifications are pointless and absurd. There is a trend of police oppression in this country fueled by the drug war. Millions of families have been affected since the 80s. So many have died. There is no way in Hell that gangster reads DU. He was going to kill himself anyway and because cops have been in the news killing innocents he decided to go out that way. I'm surprised the police are following their union boss and not angered at the fellow cops who made this an issue to begin with. Reporting on something isn't what causes the problem. It's the original problem reported on. The same bullshit argument was used to suppress the torture report. It was the torture that was to blame not the reporting of it. The guy who did this is deservedly dead. Blaming the mayor who worries about his kid is messed up.
