I've said this before: ALL of these newsgroupers who are
anti-cop have either committed a crime or have a relative who has. It
is not the crime nor the cops who enforced the law whom they really
should blame, it is the moral weakness of the person who allowed
himself to commit the crime. But since they won't be honest enough to
put the blame where it belongs: on the criminal, that leaves only one
visible target - the poor cop.

Ken, sometimes I wondwer where you get your information.Personally, I think
you're shooting from the hip.
Okay, bud, one more time, and read my lips carefully: this is NOT an anti-cop
site.It deals with police abuses and police misconduct.If you can't handle the
fact that there are cops out there who are breaking the law, go ahead and live
in your little bubble.
I have found that most of the people I have talked to on this NG are
law-abiding people like myself who have even had to call the police on
occasion(not that it does much good where I live).
Even if an individual has broken the law, regardless of what they have done,
they still deserve to be read their rights, and they have the right to a fair
trial.They do not deserve to be bullied, shot or whatever, no matter how
horrendous their crime.
And please spare me the "poor cop" line.
I've seen more corruption and police misconduct in the past years than I care
to admit.

I think Ken meant "newsgroupers who are anti-cop", and I have seen some
lately myself in other NG's.
But just in case, I have lived the past 43 years without so much as a
traffic citation, yes I have made mistakes and done things that were wrong.
The two times I was arrested, were not for committing crimes (this was
proven in a court of law), I was arrested for complaining about the
inadequate investigation of a crime that was committed against me. I was
arrested because police officer's lied. A police officer completed an arson
report that did not even mention the evidence that he collected at the
scene, never even listed a suspect. A police officer investigating an arson
never even spoke to the suspect or verified his whereabouts that day. The
fire marshall was not notified of this arson. A trained arson investigator,
the police chief never even responded to the scene. This was blatant
dereliction of duty, and the motive, to protect the suspect...the officers
friend. So let's arrest the victim, let's harass his family, let's destroy
their lives with GOOD, HONEST, Law Enforcement, and commit more crimes in
the process, just because they complained.

But in the vast majority of cases, these acts are not immoral, merely
forbidden. In particular, there is nothing morally wrong with
possessing a blade two and five eights of an inch long on a university
campus, which is the felony offense that my son was charged with.
The problem is that the police selectively and capriciously enforce
draconian laws that forbid all sorts of arcane and obscure things that
people are unlikely to know are illegal, and unlikely to obey if they
do know.
There are so many laws that everyone breaks them all the time, and
cops break them more frequently and more conspicuously than anyone
else, precisely because they can get away with it. Indeed most people
can get away with it, even when they are a famous musician and get
exposed as breaking them in the newspapers. These laws are enforced
unpredictably, capriciously, and unfairly. They are enforced against
people of the wrong race, against out of towners in small towns, and
against people who fail to show cops the respect that ignorant vicious
goons imagine is due to ignorant vicious goons. If George Bush was an
uppity nigger, he would be doing ten years for cocaine. If Clinton
had not been Good Old Boy, he would be doing several years for sexual
assault. The laws makes us all criminals, but the cops are the real
criminals, for when we break the laws we harm no one, but the cops
break laws, and do real damage to real people in the process.

Interesting, recently my son, 15, entered the federal courthouse with his
mother. He didn't think about having his pocket knife with him, and he
approached the metal detector. The officer took the knife, and said; "any
good country boy always has his pocket knife with him, you can pick it up on
the way out". The blade was probably 3-31/2 inch, and it was a lockblade.
Obviously the officer being a professional knew that no intent, or motive
existed for this boy to commit a crime. This is also known as common sense,
some got it some don't.

Also known as selective enforcement. My wife is Vietnamese, my son
half Vietnamese. Davis university forcefully discourages Asian
students. On LA campus where he now goes, doubtless the police would
exercise common sense.
Similarly we observe that there is a large and increasing class of
people who are not subjected to the drug laws, much as in the closing
years of prohibition there was a large and increasing class of people
who were not subjected to the alcohol laws.

I got my eyes opened when I kept running into obviously false
testimony ( especially faked crime lab stuff ) in cases I got involved in as
a forensics expert. Admittedly a biased sample--- if there were not a
question, I probably would not have become involved.
There is a lot of pressure on crime lab people to come up with the
"right" answer here in Houston. A few years ago, the head of the county DNA
lab got fired for not going along.

Here is my sample:
I have twice been a victim of crimes were it was reasonably feasible
to find the offender, where I knew approximately where the offender
lived, and could recognize him. The police showed absolutely no
interest in assisting. The police have never given me any protection
or assistance.
I have never been arrested, but I have committed innumerable
misdemeanors and felonies. However I have never committed any
felonies of the kind that people of my race and class (white,
affluent) get arrested for when we commit them. On several occasions
I was caught committing a prohibited act, and was let off, but I never
felt grateful for being let off, because there was nothing morally
wrong with what I was doing and lots of people, probably most police,
do similar things.
I have twice been bullied and threatened with arrest when I had done
nothing wrong, broken no law, and the police had no probable cause.
My son, who had done nothing morally wrong, was arrested for a crime
which he would probably not have been arrested for had he been white.

James also does not explain what kind of knife his son
possessed. In most states, gravity, switchblades, butterflies,
daggers, dirks and similar knives cannot be legally possessed. Blade
length is not a factor in some states.
If people have a problem with a certain weapons law, the
obvious options are:
1. do not carry those kinds of weapons,
2. have the law changed by your representatives in government, or
3. continue to posess illegal weapons and get arrested once in a
while.

a weapon, it is concealed. Again common sense would say if this was a
farmer...hunter, this would be a tool, not a weapon. However if this person
had numerous convictions for assault with a weapon, maybe that might
indicate a different intent. Intent, motive, criminal record, all would be a
consideration before arrest. This again is called discretion, common sense.

of years ago. He was 17 and was stilling "getting used to" the standard shift
in the old truck he had just bought. As he and his 14 yr old sister were
leaving the high school parking lot he was pulled over by the officer that
worked at the school. Apparently he didn't do such a good job of changing
gears and "burned out" as he left. Could have really been an accident or,
knowing how 17 yr old boys are, it could have been something he intended to do.
Anyway, the officer saw a bat in the bed of the truck and ARRESTED him,
charging him with UCW (Unlawfully carrying a weapon). Now this happened during
baseball season. When Michael tried to explain to the officer that he played
baseball the officer wanted to know why he wasn't at practice????? The kid
played on a city league, he didn't play for the school, and he practiced at
night. He was taken to jail, his ragged old truck was impounded and his sister
was left stranded. Needless to say the charges were dismissed, but of course
his parents were out the bond money, the attorney fees and let's not forget the
cost to get the ragged truck out of impound. I suppose they really were lucky
though...the officer didn't give him a ticket for burning out, he gave him a
WARNING! Go figure???

How true. When I was a kid (from about 7 on up) *all* boys carried
pocket knives, *all* the time. I recall once a junior high teacher asked
if any of us could loan him one to cut his fingernails (during class, of
course). By high school a store called Big B Surplus had a bunch of
four-inch lockblades, and that became the favorite knife of most of us
(a lot of us got many pocket knives -- I still have about forty). At the
time no one ever thought *anything* of this. I was a little surprised
when I went to university and got some strong reactions when people saw
that knife.... Then again, if a student brought a shotgun to school we
would have just thought he was going to go shoot cans in the field after
class.

vague term. It could mean an anarchist who didn't believe

might believe that there might be some legitimate function
for the police, but that their present behavior is repugnant.
If you're talking about people who have some personal animus
against the police which leads to ill-tempered remarks, it's
irrelevant to this discussion, since most of the people arguing
on the anti-Drug War (anti-police?) side have been reasonably
polite, especially given the magnitude of the evil they're
arging against.

Few people become motivated to participate deeply in issues that don't
strike close to home in some manner. Empathy might be for a family member, a
friend, or simply brought on by envisioning one's own potential problems
with a given law?

Some of the most violent people (criminals) I've ever had the good fortune
to lock up were quite polite once they recognized that they didn't have the
upper hand. So your point is?

This implies that such right-wing establishment figures as (e.g. )
Milton Freeman, Willian F. Buckley, as well as George Schultz and his gang
of suspects at the Hoover institute are either dopers or fellow travelors<G>.
Fact is, many on the political right view the War on Drugs as just one more
failed gummit program.

It implies no such thing, Doctor. Unless "few people" suddenly equals ALL
people.
