Nice. I'm sure your probably feel the same way about the Military. Class act.

Not about getting it right or wrong or the workings of law enforcement or the military
but rather the BLATANT HYPOCRACY in this country

they raise us believing that we all have rights and we're all equal and the government is supposed to 'look out for us", to 'protect' us, while, in return, collecting our tax dollars and our military service

while, in fact

it's all BS

cops do what they want and it's all controlled by the RICH.

But they do a real nice job of socialization here cause if this **** were to happen in Europe (or elsewhere) to the extent it happens here, the citizens would've ripped this country, and those running it, apart.

But it's all good cause we've all got our REBATES to look forward to.

Yeah...you're right....Bill Gates,Buffett,Soros and the Waltons have a weekly teleconference to map out Police responses to beat down the poor people and keep them in their place! 2 of the officers acquitted are Black.....so there goes your theory!

Never said anything about it being a black or white thing but rather a 'system' thing. Haves versus havenots and the mechanisms in place.

I look forward to Sharpton and the rest dueling with the very politically correct, always money conscious at the cost of service, Michael Bloomberg.

Oh look, my REFUND is here. Now I really have absolutely zero worries.

l bitch when I need one. I have needed one in all my life and I bitched at him when he got to me. Took him 40 minutes and when he got there he was useless.

The problem I have is that the judge got to make the decision. The officers (and I use that term loosely) did not have to face a jury of their peers. That is their right, but it was pure garbage.

I have two problems with the military: 1) Military Recruiters not being honest in their recruiting and 2) Once a person signs up for the military they cannot change their mind. I love how they say they are volunteer but it is the only volunteer job where you can quit. Other than those two things I have no problem with the military.

not so. you have until you actually take the oath right before leaving for boot camp to change your mind. my brother was in the delayed entry program, and decided not to go.

once you take your oath, you head to boot camp to begin whatever tour of duty you signed for. when i joined, i had a contract specifying what school i would go to after boot camp, and my total length of active duty-it's different for some people. i agreed to four years active duty, but a guy i went to school with split it 3 active, 5 reserves. when my son joined, he initially agreed to six active since he was facing two years of school right off to be a nuke electrician. he's since changed to gas turbine electrician, so they cut him to four years, but he's going to re-enlist in a few months when that four years is up--probably for another four year tour. you don't generally see people sign up for longer stints at a time then that.

Interesting. Why did he go from Nuke Electrician to a Gas Turbine Electrician?

i guess he thought he'd like that better, and seems to enjoy it. matter of fact, they just sent him back to a 'c' school for more in depth training and education-he's only got a chief beating him in class, so he's doing well. he's looking at getting a 16k re-enlistment bonus...they've put him through a lot of education and training, so he wants to pay them back by re-signing.
he could actually work for an airline on their engines, as it's essentially the same thing. seems all navy ships other than carriers and nuke subs use the gas turbine engine, so he's going to be kept busy.
