on how black lives matter and you want us to believe that race has nothing to do with this?

Nice try.

Female cop out of control and power mad sprays innocents with pepper spray [View all] Ichingcarpenter Jan 2015 OP

Why the "female" headline? trumad Jan 2015 #1

My thought exactly. n/t TexasProgresive Jan 2015 #2

Well, she apparently is. And it's notable, because raging cops are almost exclusively male. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #23

not always, sometimes female officers feel they have to prove they are "tough" snooper2 Jan 2015 #37

That doesn't excuse horrible behavior. HappyMe Jan 2015 #38

Uh, yeah, didn't say it did snooper2 Jan 2015 #40

I didn't say that you were making excuses, HappyMe Jan 2015 #43

And that would be the "almost" portion of almost always... Thor_MN Jan 2015 #60

OP is expanding on a response to a thread about female officers possibly reducing niyad Jan 2015 #61

Quite effectively too, it would seem. n/t lumberjack_jeff Jan 2015 #87

right. because ONE instance negates everything that article said. as I said, the usual niyad Jan 2015 #88

An equally sexist argument could be made that lumberjack_jeff Jan 2015 #91

keep trying. niyad Jan 2015 #92

Thanks Niyad for the eye opening post trumad Jan 2015 #89

you are most welcome. yes, we understand the reasoning completely. niyad Jan 2015 #90

So that's all you got out of the story I guess? Nt Logical Jan 2015 #76

No trumad Jan 2015 #82

"out of control cop pepper sprays..." conjures a specific (and incorrect) image in the DU zeitgeist. lumberjack_jeff Jan 2015 #86

Is "Female cop" relavant? TexasProgresive Jan 2015 #3

she's a cop it was a she Ichingcarpenter Jan 2015 #4

You didn't lie, and too bad this kind of behavior occurs across cop genders MrMickeysMom Jan 2015 #8

yeah...like you would have posted "male" cop... trumad Jan 2015 #22

Whatever Ichingcarpenter Jan 2015 #24

How many times have you specified a male cop without direct relevance...? LanternWaste Jan 2015 #25

I usually assume that a cop doing something hideous like HappyMe Jan 2015 #28

so where was the racism in this case? TorchTheWitch Jan 2015 #32

Why shouldn't it be? HappyMe Jan 2015 #34

because neither should be pointed out TorchTheWitch Jan 2015 #41

Nice try yourself TorchTheWitch Jan 2015 #72

Why didn't you say "female WHITE cop" then? Demit Jan 2015 #26

Probably because the overwhelming majority of these horror stories have involved male cops FiveGoodMen Jan 2015 #68

If the OP were a scientist conducting a study, I might buy that. Demit Jan 2015 #71

and I suppose that the overwhelming majority of cops are male TorchTheWitch Jan 2015 #80

So is it okay for the police to want to murder people because their opinions don't match yours? Scootaloo Jan 2015 #78

No, it's more likely cops will shoot you if they think you are a Sovereign Citizen. eom MohRokTah Jan 2015 #79
