There's no evidence that the cop did that. The most we have is a suggestion that the cop may have taken a step toward the kid, which may have been appropriate under the circumstance. But if he had postured menacingly, I doubt the kid would have done it in return. That's not an appropriate...

Canada's economy isn't strong; ours is just pathetic so it looks by comparison.

Yes, the cop did something that was sort of the wrong move, but not a crime. He could've done better. Then the kid commits a crime and gets taken down for it. Ever read Starship Troopers, the novel in which the movie is based? A trainee assaults an instructor and is put to death for it. The main...

If you make somebody fearful for their safety, that's assault. So if I step forward and posture menacingly, and you believe that I'm about to attack you, I've assaulted you whether or not I've actually touched you. So if the cop truly believed this guy was about to become violent and he then...

As opposed to where?

Agreed on that, or at least taken the middle ground & said, "Got here as fast as I could. We're busy today." What he did say escalated it. Believe me, I'm the first to cry foul when that happens, which it does, all too often. But this was the reverse, and that's why I posted it. This time, it's...

Well, I wish I could watch it again. It plays fine on my laptop but barely plays on my device. Unwatchable, really. Yes, the two situations are different, but in the opposite way. The motorcyclist didn't answer the way the cop expected, but it wasn't a positive act. The posturing, the implied...

Hmmm...this reminds me of another conversation we had, one in which we seem to be on different sides than we are now. Remember our thread about the motorcyclist who was axed if he had a gun, to which he replied, "I don't consent to any search," and it went downhill from there? I stated, "Cops...

Lefties still believe a gun fired inside a plane can cause it to depressurize and/or bow a hole in it, causing passengers to be sucked out, a scenario that has happened precisely once--in a movie. Never in reality. These are the people who think a barrel shroud is "the shoulder thing that goes...

Here's what my cop cousin thinks: It sounded to me like the cop was keeping calm until the kid started getting mouthy. The cop may have taken a step toward the kid and it sounded like the kid then stepped up to the cop... not good. The cops then took him down. The way the kid was talking to the...

I don't think he stepped forward aggressively. His attitude was a bit overboard, right from the start, but not that much. When GI Joe stepped forward, saying, "US soldier, bra" or bro, whatever, and chest bumped the cop, that's where "it's on, now!" Otoh, the cop should have de-escalated things...

Cop is a marine. Though cop seems justified, is there a good guy here? http://hw-mobile.worldstarhiphop.com/u/vid/2013/01/01/rud6e5dw6dgew5dwedewdwd4dewdewdfd34dswdwe_mobile.mp4

What happened to the story of that trucking company who was putting cameras in the sleeper? Or was that a gag?

This is further evidenced by the fact that playing in MLB, NFL, NBA, or NHL is the goal of the world's athletes. In baseball, everybody wants to be in MLB, and they go elsewhere after their skills erode and they want to keep playing or earn their way back to MLB. In basketball, Tony Kukoc was...

Any sport played with knives on your feet and a club in your hands has to be a good sport.

No, humor & shock were where I was going with this. They ignored my messages of, "I don't know you, so please quit texting me," so it's time to cause a little ruckus. And as the dialogue from Stripes goes: Sgt: "Why don't you let me in on your little joke?" Winger: "I don't think you'd find it...

There are several members of this forum who are in favor of some/most/all of your list. Sounds a-ok to them.

Maybe the first couple times. But after a dozen or 2 dozen?

Say you got a new phone number, and the friends of whoever had that number last kept texting you, thinking you were the previous holder of the number. So you reply to their texts, telling them you have no idea who they are, and to stop texting you, but for whatever reason, they don't get the...

I have no need for my religion to be right in anyone's eyes; it's already right regardless. But this is another example of the "religion of peace," the violent cavemen having to make infant girls less sexy so they don't molest them. That this story can exist without you objecting to the cavemen...
