Reply #20: Does that "A" in your avatar stand for Authoritarian personality? [View All]

You are OK with police using their badge and authority to intimidate citizens exercising their rights to free speech?

Maybe you don't know any cops?

The cops I've come across, in my professional dealings with Chicago cops, brag about issuing tickets to people they don't like for offenses that didn't occur. They do it when someone back-talks or looks at them sideways. They do it TO CAUSE EMOTIONAL DISTRESS. They call it "PENCILING" or "PILING ON." They know that, even if the case gets dismissed, the person STILL has to take the day off work and/or hire an attorney. Also, they know MOST people won't bother to fight it. I had a Chicago cop tell me he wrote "some black guy" ten parking tickets (for non-existent violations) for back-talking him - he didn't even issue the tickets to the guy - he tossed them in the trash so the guy would find out about them when he received the notices by mail. How many other tickets do you think THAT pig in the article issued to people that "slighted" him or offended his love for the commander in chief ? Huh?

Not to mention the fact that you are ignorant to the level of emotional distress she has to prove AND you make up some non-existent hurdle she has to clear:

""""put enough stress that it affected her life and job as a nurse""""

Where did you get that idea?
