Who is the real cop
But, I also realize they have a duty to protect the property classes and when push comes to shove, they will follow the orders of those in power. I don't like to see cops at peaceful demonstrations and I feel my safety is at risk when they arrive to demonstrations I have attended.
All that is beside the point. I have been enjoying the discussion with Michael Gass and Patrick. I was clearly in the corner of Michael when the discussion began, but as it progressed it became obvious to me who was the real cop with the most experience, despite my belief that the cop in question in the video was handling the teenage girl too roughly. In the end, Patrick convinced me though, that the cop was responding reasonably in the legal sense of the term. Although Patrick may have been slightly insulting to Michael in his questioning of Michaels credentials, I believe he has done it to protect the image of a police officer. Michaels responses to Patrick's points and rebuttals has appeared to me, however, to be a bit irrational.
But that is just me. So I am just curious what the rest of you all think. Perhaps not the crucial issue of the day in a world of turmoil and on a blog of political discussions. However, a little poll for TL's finest, might just be fun. No offense to Patrick or Michael, since I enjoy both of their perspectives. I am just really curious what everyone else thinks.
