As you read this, imagine it being spoken by the voice of a sweet little girl:

"Oh, but sknkpop, your comment recommended that this bad man be rewarded for his actions with paid time off from his job and a few hours of classes he will likely ignore. My comment contained nothing about firing the thug in question, but pointed out your likely difference of opinion had you some personal connection to the victim of his unjustified violence."

End "sweet little girl voice."

.

Is that more to your fucking liking, Precious?

.

Also notice that, in my first comment, I limited my language to nothing stronger than "Hell". You, however, chose to go down the "fuck" path, so here we go fuckhead:

My point was to put a personal connection to this for you. Make you feel guilty? Fuck that! I wanted you to admit that you'd feel differently about recommending a paid vacation over this assault if you HAD a personal connection to his victim. And you refuse to admit that. THAT is what's pathetic.

"How fucking dare I assume myself wiser?" you ask. I've HAD family members beaten by cops, dumbfuck. My own fucking brother ended up in an emergency room at 17 years of age because a cop so badly beat him in the head with the butt of a gun that when my father and I found him, his face was literally coated with his own blood - to the chin and soaking his shirt. I can't tell you how many dozen stitches it took to reconstruct his scalp. How dare I? FUCK YOU!

I know what it's like to have family members beaten. I've had far too many close calls myself with these criminals in uniform. My disagreement with you is over your "short tern suspension with pay" and "retraining" bullshit for attacks like this. When crimes like this are severley punished - to the point that the cop(s) involved and their fellow officers decide that being bullies, thugs, gangsters with badges, and criminally violent with unarmed citizens is a very bad idea - only then will we live in a society where cops are no longer to be feared, but respected, and citizens need no longer live in fear of their own employees.

So you can just "calm the fuck down" yourself and get on the right side of things like this. The guy should have been suspended WITHOUT pay for at least a month, reduced in rank, and been forced into anger management classes as well as classes in proper conduct while in uniform.

Coddling these assholes is NOT fucking the answer.
