"and Shrub"

isn't the President and doesn't matter, no matter how many times you and the current administration try to pretend otherwise.

Yeah, it would be forking awesome! Samsung would be the biggest forking company in the world!

Steve Jobs would be rolling in his forking grave!! IT WOULD BE FORKING INCREDIBLE!!!

Sure guy.

Unfortunately for you, you're guilty of both.

Yes, it is.

Except is is working, so your observation is really irrelevant.

A few features are buggy, one would have to be openly lying to claim the "phone doesn't work".

All of my basketballs are leather with a synthetic polyethylene bladder.

No rubber anywhere, but don't let that stop you from being wrong.

Bullshit. This never happened, and you can't produce a citation that says otherwise.

Obama CLAIMED HE WAS GOING TO PUSH FOR ONE, then did fuckall.

Which is his SOP, which is why sycophantic trolls like you continually try to blame other people for Obama's stunning lack of actual action.

You people, and your messiah, always blame everyone else. It's been Bush's fault every time you're are caught doing nothing, or when your actions make things worse, for 4 years.

Grow up.

What "Minimum wage, poorly trained, high turn over, private screening companies" are you talking about, considering there was essentially no screening at all pre-9/11?

You're talking about a group of people that doesn't exist, and using that fabricated group to forward your entirely ridiculous "Apparently private industry did not do everything better" stupidity.

NOTHING like the TSA existed pre 9/11. Stop making shit up to take cheap shots at ideology you otherwise can't assail.

If you don't know the difference between an adult and a young child, and how their perception of authority is different, then why are you commenting on this subject?

We're not talking about how adults perceive a recommendation here, so stop pretending we are.

No, it really doesn't.

See that's funny because I never mentioned force, and the subject we're discussing was calling cops "pigs", which is Constitutionally protected speech, not punching them in the face.

So not only is your analogy stupid, it's absolutely NOT "exactly what [I] said simply the wording was changed", as I never mentioned using force, but YOU DID.

Are you so ignorant to the difference between Constitutionally protected speech and force that you actually think they're the same? Really?

No, it's a stupid analogy, and appears to be the inverse of what I said. That's why I asked for clarification. Don't get your panties twisted because your analogy is stupid and you can't make your point without one.

Yup.

No no sparky, not MY logic. I never said or suggested anything of the kind, you're just desperately lashing out because you realize you laid there for four hours and took it. You did the "think of the children" nonsense before, now you're on to "serial rapist" nonsense, which has nothing to do with any of my points.

That's because you don't realize that is a violation of your rights. Not something to be proud of.

I can only go by what you say, and what YOU SAID, yes shows you didn't know. I don't think you did, because you also think it's ok to handcuff people for 4 hours to "verify they were allowed to have a gun on their waist in public" despite there being a law that addresses that, the 2nd something or other...

YOU were the one making the claim that you were detained for four hours for a legal handgun. There's really no scenario where that isn't a violation of your rights.

Irrelevant to whether your rights were violated. It was YOUR gun, yet you act like they did you a favor giving it back.

I'm didn't volunteer to be a cop and take an oath to meet the responsibilities of being a cop, so that attempt fails too, but if YOU THREW SOMETHING AT ME, IT WOULDN'T BE ASSAULT IF I STOPPED YOU. See how you try so hard but have no idea what the fuck you're talking about? YOUR PREVIOUS CLAIM was that you'd beat me more than necessary. That's got NOTHING to do with your CURRENT scenario, just like your profoundly stupid, inverted analogy has nothing to do with any of my points.

So you're saying police are stupid and can't know their job well enough to do it properly. Why are you defending them then?

In short, you've proven you don't know how the constitution works, don't know the law regarding guns, don't respect your rights, think cops decide what is and is not legal, and are a pretty piss poor citizen in general. You let cops walk all over you and then act like their legal requirement to return your gun was some benevolent gesture.

YOU are why cops abuse people and get away with it.

Could you clairfy this? It's a stupid analogy and doesn't apply so I need clarification.

They cover for each other, and protect bad apples. That's enough.

So you're much more tolerant to having your rights violated. NEWS FLASH FOR YOU chief, they don't decide if something is legal, it IS or IS NOT. Your ignorance of this, and demurring to cops opinion of the legality of your (I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt) legally purchased weapon is NOT a point in your favor, as you attempt to paint it, it's you being a coward and an apologist.

Had you the sack and knowledge of a proper citizen, you'd have asserted your rights. That you laid there and took it says much about you, and why you choose to defend cops against name calling.

So it's the population's fault that cops are unprofessional goons, got it. "YOU PISSED ME OFF SO I'M GONNA BATTER YA!" or somesuch? Why would anyone ever be ok with that like you are?

I don't know what point you were trying to make, but unless it was to prove you're an unrepentant cop apologist, you've failed.

You mean the exact mentality the police ADMIT they have?

No, this is a lie. They are accountable to their supervisors, and to accountability boards that are staffed by ex-police, and to Internal Affairs, who are also police.

NOWHERE in that process can a citizen bring accountability. Qualified Immunity prevents lawsuits except in the most egregious, and rare, circumstances. If IA and the accountability boards don't hold a cop responsible, you're out of luck.

You can't elect them out, you can't vote them out, so this "they are accountable to you" tripe is just blatantly false.

The entirety of the force colludes in protecting the bad apples. And you make excuses for them because they "kiss their kids at night" or some other "think of the CHILDREN" sappy bullshit.

I will when they stop living up to the description.

http://www.myfoxdc.com/story/18722525/2012/06/06/prince-georges-county-police-officers-under-criminal-investigation?obref=obinsite

FTFA "WALDORF, Md. -Two Prince George's County police officers are under criminal investigation in Charles County for allegedly handcuffing, detaining and assaulting a teenager in order to teach him a lesson."

Now, that's two cops plus every other cop who covered for them. You forget, they have a responsiblity to uphold the law, so every single officer who knew about that incident and didn't turn those cops in is legally culpable. But you ignore that in your rush to paint a portrait even more distorted than the one you're crying about.

No, the current "Fuck the Police" attitude has done more to bring attention to these issues than the copsucking you're suggesting ever did. That, and ubiquitous cameras. However, I don't fault you, collaborators always suggest collaboration, it's easier than resistance and you collaborators tend toward laziness and cowardice.

I appreciate your opinion, but as you can see, you really have absolutely no idea what the fuck you're talking about. Frankly, you take a startlingly similar line to cops themselves, and I have to wonder if you have a bit of Stockholm Syndrome.

You're a citizen. It's your DUTY to resist tyranny. Not sit by and defend it because it kisses it's kids forehead at night.

So you're saying you're a fool? Or ignorant?

They will get the respect human beings deserve when they start acting like human beings, and by that I mean, the end of the "Blue Wall of Silence".

When cops police themselves the same way they police you, and when they turn in their offending brothers the way the law requires, and when they stop using collective bargaining and Unions to avoid responsibility for their behavior, THEN they get human status.

But hey, you want to ignore all that, that's your party.
