Thread: Welcome to our Post-Constitutional America.

Some say that these incidents represent a very small portion of police officers.

I disagree. I think it's a sizable minority.

That's like me saying the mass population in the US has an AK-47 and link you to a video with tupac holding an AK-47... So now single videos account for the masses?

At least laz gives some sources of data, now we're looking towards YouTube an other sites to prove a point?

Again, it's my opinion. The fact that it's so easy to find examples of police abusing their authority leads me to believe that it happens regularly. If it was just the same 3 videos floating around, you'd be right that my example was obscure. The fact of the matter is that examples like this keep popping up. As far as data goes, there will never be a study on this, how could there be?

Except your example would be a mischaracterization of mine in that I didn't say it was the majority. I said it was a significant minority, like say 10%.

If 10% of all Ford cars were made mechanically faulty, that would be pretty bad. In fact, they would probably go out of business. Same goes for Intel cpu's or any product.

Insert video link here.

The point is you have no ground to stand on. You can post as many videos as you'd like but until you can find a number of traffic stops vs number of traffic stop incidents you can't make that claim

I never made that assertion. If videos kept showing upof people posing with AK's, one could surmise that a sizable minority owned one. Instead you try to use some goofy example of Tupac to further your point. You couldn't have offered up something more mature than that, that at least followed the parameters of my example?

You mean like the examples our elected politicians use saying we must ban all guns because guns kill people, and everyone who owns one must be a half cocked lunatic just waiting for the right moment?
