    My uncle puts his life on the line every day for ungrateful assholes who just think he's a pig anyway and a few years ago he almost lost his life dealing with ACTUAL human scum, so excuse me if I'm a little sensitive to people saying "PIGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

      @mrmattimation your uncle is doing wrong in supporting his brothers in murder, shouldn't you be sensitive to that too

        @rarity While I think that is harsh, it is no more harsh than making Muslims repent for one of their fellow believers crime every other day

          @vcgriffin the problem is, the larger Muslim community renounces the acts of terrorism extremists commit. When a cop murders someone, the other cops rally together and make up excuses.

            @rarity Reality is equal parts both perception and truth. You are voicing an opinion based on your perception. Your reality may differ from the reality of others. You are speaking what is true for you, not what is true for me.

              @companionanne fine, you want facts? Fact: Eric Garner died from a chokehold whilst unarmed. Fact: NYPD officers wore tee shirts mocking his dying words for mercy. Does that seem like the kind you'd want to work with?

                @rarity unarmed is not synonymous with not dangerous.

                  @companionanne @mrmattimation It's not worth it, guys. Fighting about it on the internet is going to change nobody's mind and make everybody walk out of this angry.

        @rarity What? Do you think my uncle walks around town with a sign that says "KILLING BLACKS IS GOOD"?

          @mrmattimation has he spoken out? Has he participated in voicing complaints about the evil people in the police force?

            @rarity I would assume not, only because the Brevard County Sheriff's Office is unrelated to the NYPD in every way and thus what an NYPD officer does should not reflect on him or his department personally.

                @rarity Yeah, and a Subway foot-long is a sub sandwich. What's your point?

                  @mrmattimation my point is, is that in groups with power, the actions of one reflect on the whole. if one cop can murder someone and get away with it despite video evidence, so could any other cop. it shows that the system is rigged to protect those with the power.

      @mrmattimation I'm with you. My husband saved my life when he rescued me from my abuser. He changed my world that day.

      @mrmattimation There are lots of hard working people who go to work and help others every day. but when the whole edifice of their organization is shown to be rotten something must give (and its not just cops, its the Vatican, Secret service officials, even British MP's at the ,moment)
