Re: Another victim of no-knock raids and police militarizati

I stand by what I've said. I offer no apologies, I give zero fucks about how good or bad of a cop your old man was, and I mean every word I've said. If you don't like me talking shit about cops, maybe instead of becoming so defensive Dalton, perhaps you should be reviewing everything myself and othe...

Re: Another victim of no-knock raids and police militarizati

See there you go. You are not even open to the possibility that a cop can be a good cop or a decent human being. Just the way you said that everybody in a military uniform is a baby killer. You have demonstrated you know absolutely nothing about either subject and are simply hating for hate's sake....

Re: Another victim of no-knock raids and police militarizati

Having a low opinion of cops is fine. And you are right, many of us here are critical of police brutality. But we don't go around saying we're glad they're dead, they're nothing but fucking pigs, and we hope they soiled themselves when they died. There's the dislike of police and then there's just ...

Just out of curiousity, how have the elections for President been impacted so far since the death of one candidate in a tragic plane crash a week or so ago?

I've heard that his party will nominate a replacement, but will that have any impact in the polls?

I don't think option 4 should be so easily dismissed. Militarily, at least pre-borg/dominion war days, I'd expect the Romulans to be more powerful than the federation.

So I've heard that some people suggest having a Union would be one way to fix issues regarding pay and such at places like Walmart.

Anyone have any idea how comparible pay is between non union companies like Walmart compared to unionized retailers such as Kroger.
