Too many cop bashing threads

[spywizard]

So now anyone that is abused by a cop is a criminal? If a cop abuses someone, doesn't that make HIM a criminal?

And just because cops behave worse in some other countries does not excuse bad behavior by cops.

If your girlfriend was raped would you tell her "Well, at least you were not chopped up into little pieces and left in a dumpster somewhere."

Bad is bad.

what about lawyers??? i can hurt you and do more to you with a pen than a stick..

What about lawyers? Aren't lawyers 'officers of the court' who think that the man in the courthouse who wears the black robe has special powers so they look at him in awe and rise when he enters and rise when he stands, etc?

Just bustin on ya'. I have no problem with lawyers so long as they are honest with respect to any cons they run (legal or otherwise) and so long as they are for the legalization of drugs. If not it's kind of like job security for them to have non violent people who are engaging in voluntary transactions caged like animals (while they stand in line to take a piece of the pie along with cops, judges, court officers, politicians, prison guards, and prison profiteers).

Of course I would prefer a system where there were no artificial barriers to entry into the profession so that costs would be lower.

And more than that I would prefer a system where 'the gubament' didn't have a territorial monopoly on the crime and punnishment racket. I'd perfer a system with multiple arbitors competing for business.
