When Wayne LaPierre made the statement about "jack booted thugs" he was talking about ATF agents, whom many, like the FBI hold law degrees. Not city and county cops. Your statement on this was taken totally out of context to demonize the regular street cop.
There are also plenty of stories of law twisters in court rooms, distorting the facts to win cases, or get criminals off.
As far as the dope dealer getting what he deserved, we actually agree on that issue.
*Sigh*  I'm glad you chose to make this about lawyers and law degrees.  The usual. 

What I should have said was, "All police officers are fine upstanding people and you will never find an example of one abusing their power, particularly in a way that leads you to believe that most police officers choose that career path because of a unique personality flaw that makes them only feel important if them can impose their will on others.  It would be categorically ridiculous to assume that any person wearing a badge could ever do anything wrong.  All people killed, injured, detained, or harrased by an officer are absolutely in the wrong.  We should always defer to such police judgement and their should be no questioning or oversite of any kind."

Now apply what we learned above to this from today's Kansas City Star:
Quote
An off-duty Kansas City, Kansas, police officer was arrested across the state line Friday night for allegedly shooting a 6902 Club bouncer twice in the abdomen.

Witnesses told police that the unnamed police officer was getting kicked out of the club on Prospect Avenue for being drunk and belligerent toward customers and bar staff. KCMO police arrested the suspected shooter around 11:45 p.m. Charges have yet to be filed.

The KCKPD says the officer has been placed on administrative leave while the department investigates.

The bouncer was taken to a local hospital in serious condition. At last word, he was said to be in good condition and recovering at home.

The KCPD expects the case file to be turned over to the prosecutor's office by midweek.

If you were at the club and saw something, call police on the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477.

Duk you NEVER pass the opportunity to take a swing at Law Enforcement. Just like what I pointed out. You took a statement out of context and applied it to police officers to suit your needs. But then again that's your chosen trade. I will defend my past profession when I see fit.
Why don't you print some stuff about what lawyers do. You don't read much about them apparently. Usually that court bailiff that protects YOU when you insult folks in the court room is a law enforcement officer. Perhaps he should call in sick sometime, and you can protect yourself from litigants when your twisting facts for money. He's the only thing keeping you off the courtroom floor when you make folks mad. It ain't the judges gavel. You think you can slam an honorable profession without gettin reaction? Your ego knows no bounds.
Now I'm done. ;)

Well if you'd like to start a thread about lawyers I welcome you to it.  I doubt seriously if anyone has stopped you from doing so in the past.

My thoughts:

1) I "NEVER" (your emphasis, not mine) miss and opportunity...  Huh.  One could reasonably ask how many times you miss an opportunity to try and bash lawyers.  The difference here is that one of us was on topic and the other was resorting to attacks to avoid the question at hand...

2) I used a line regarding, as I remember it, the ATF or some other federal law agency.  It's not exactly a gross distortion to carry that line out to law enforcement in general.  Anyway that line wasn't the subject of any important point to score.  Someone could skip the entire sentence and get the exact same thesis.  I always wonder about people who skip substance to hang their hat on a technicality... sounds like something you would accuse a lawyer of...

3)  I have invited you, and I would invite you going forward to speak with any of the deputies who actually know me.  You might be surprised...  But you really shouldn't let actual knowledge of how I conduct myself from interrupting your opinion of someone you've never met. 

4)  History has told me that you are never actually done, regardless of whether you say you are or not.  The last "word" is important to you.

5) This thread isn't about me, you, lawyers, or the legal profession.  Lets steer it back to the topic...

6)  I will let people judge the size of your ego on their own... No need to insult the intelligence of readers or break GBO rules.

Life will soon teach anyone with a brain that there are both good and bad people in all walks of life. That certainly includes proffesions. To try and judge all by the actions of a few is simply ignorant at best and predjudicial at worst. I really like this site. There's lots of good folks here and lots of good useful info. My only real complaint is how quick, it seems a select few, resort to name calling and cheap shots when their opinion is questioned or disagreed with. I know it's just my opinion, which I'm sure don't mean much, but I feel it's both disrespectful to Graybeard and to the other members that come here to learn, share info and stories, and just want to relax with some good reads. It certainly sets a bad example for anyone new here who hasn't had a chance to get to know you or the site. Nothing wrong with disagreeing but you should really show a little respect for Graybeard and the site if not for yourselves and others by keeping things civil. If you all could read some of your rants as seen through others eyes you'd quickly see how it sometimes seems as if there's a bunch of kids loose in here throwing tantrums. Come on guys, I know you're better than that. You're letting emotions get in the way of your brains.

I'm in favor of civility, even if my judgment re: which horses to hitch my wagon to is sometimes... suspect.

I still want to know what color elephant the guy with the yellow jeep shot.
Jesus said we should treat other as we'd want to be treated... and he didn't qualify that by their party affiliation, race, or even if they're of diff religion.

Only a racist would care.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

Not so. I'm curious, and I don't think I'm a racist any more than most men.

Is the question indelicate, or offensive to you?

How about this? If ya just gotta call names and bicker then why not keep it between yourselve's and message each other rather than submit the rest of us to having to deal with it? Is that really too much to ask? That's not directed at any one person either but at those that seem to make a habit of not be able to make a post without picking a fight.

I've been around both sides of Law Enforcement for most of my life. Usually the ones who harbor ill will to the general portion of the LE members are the wife beaters, drunks, druggies and other vermin who are the reason we need Cops.
