Well asshole, what I think is this. The cops deserve the exact same level of respect that the hysterical marine deserves. The cops put their asses on the line for America every day. Are there abusive cops? Yes. Are there abusive marines.. well, yes.. so a dead cop is just as dead as a dead marine and their families cry the same damn tears. I for one don't think most of you assholes in America deserve what cops do for you. EVERY DAY for 20 or 30 years.. so boo fucking hoo.
Wow, you just can't get away from the attacks...you're an expert on abuse.
Please don't try to compare serving overseas to being a cop in the US, it's not even close.
Actually that's crap. Cops, particularly in cities, may not be under the same stress as those who deploy to war zones, but they face the reality of dying on duty - protecting us - every day.
There is no one right or one wrong in this particular scenario. The cops were under significant pressure, and the Marine was absolutely within his rights to voice his disapproval of their 'behavior' from his perspective.
Personally, I find it quite pathetic that so many of us are prepared to side with one over the other. The NYPD have my support... so does the Marine. That's called being rational rather than emotional.
I support the officers that just do their job and don't use it as an excuse to get rough with someone they don't like for reasons other than those that involve the law. The majority are in the first category....the ones that aren't need to be called out on it. He's right and I know you agree, it's dishonorable, and not necessary.
