Because a cop doing bad shit is more news worthy than one doing his job.
I'm not talking about a cop doing his job. I'm talking about cops who turn in bad cops for being bad cops.
It's not as easy as "hey, you're corrupt! You're coming with me!" If there's corruption in the police force, the "bad cops" are the ones with power.
I don't disagree.
Then why are you pretending it's that easy?

>being older than seven
>watching fucking Dragon Ball
You've got to be kidding me.
Says the guy who idolizes a children's cartoon.
Ah, first I was obsessed, now I idolize it? This forum can't make up it's mind. And no, it's just an amazing children's cartoon with interesting characters, realistic plotting, and an actual non-laughable storyline. Comparing Avatar to Dragon Ball is like comparing Breaking Bad to the Big Bang Theory.

Black Ops II was easily the best COD so far, so I'll be happy if Treyarch can top themselves.
Otherwise...what's the point of this?

Good for you? You know it's sad when you actually care about stuff like this.
I even watched avatar before it was cool.
Since when is watching a kids show cool?
Since 1999 with Spongebob.
Keep telling yourself that, buddy.

Is there any way to transfer my ORAS pokemon to showdown? I don't have a lot of good battling pokemon, but I do have an excellently EV trained Absol I'd like to use.
No showdown is completely separate from the games.
None of this breeding or EV training bullshit. You build a team almost instantly.
Ugh, lame. I'll just make a duplicate of the one I have in ORAS, then

I know you both play Pokemon, get in here.
I suck at competitive battling, but what the hell. Sign me up.

Explanation since Zesty is terrible: Spoiler  To get your edit profile menu to drop down you have to hover over your avatar on the navbar. But there's that little gap in between the navbar and the menu that causes the menu to disappear if you don't move your cursor quick enough. It's not really a problem for me, though.

Catch them how I'd they're about to blow themselves up?
And you'd rather increased surveillance instead of discouraging hate speech? Come on.
It doesn't take a genius to know that there are steps and preparations you have to make to even get a homemade explosive. The FBI foils hundreds of threats a year based on that alone.
And yes, even hate speech should be a protected tenet of any modern society. It's not a great aspect of humanity, but it would be even worse to physically arrest someone just for using words to express their opinions. I never said it shouldn't be discouraged. Freedom of expression is so much more important than complete privacy from the government.
Well that's how you discourage. By not small wing them in mosques and the streets. They can do it on their garages if they want.
Eh. I actually kind of agree with this in a way, in the sense that yelling hatred at people who are just trying to get to work is akin to public nudity or soliciting. But at the same time, it's just a viewpoint that gets people inflamed, and people who protest in front of abortion clinics don't get arrested.
If they're part of a group that bombs abortion clinics they should be removed.
If not, leave them to their whining.
Again... Attacking =/= supporting attacking

And if people are doing it in a reasonable manner, not actually impeding or antagonizing anyone with anything but words, you can't treat it any differently than any other organized protest.

As opposed to handcuffing people who've committed no crime? Sure.
So? Using your words to say that you support a terrorist group isn't the same thing as being a part of it. I've literally reiterated that to you three times in this thread so far.
And I'm saying we should stop them before they do something.
...I'm also saying that. Did you miss this? The smart thing to do is to put heavy government surveillance around the ISIS apologists, catch them doing, you know, a crime...not arresting them simply for expressing their misguided view for a group.
obviously people like that should be put on some kind of watchlist and monitored closely
There are reasons we have agencies like the FBI and the NSA. They're a necessary evil, which is why I don't mind the government listening in on my phone calls. It's because of that that we're ensured freedom of speech. You can spout whatever monstrous hatred you want, sure, but you better not try to follow through on it, because you're likely being monitored extensively. We just fundamentally disagree and aren't going to get anywhere with this.
Now this I agree with.

Ugh, splitting my post up like that is so annoying, just type like a normal person. If I can go through the trouble of cutting down posts and organizing them on mobile you shouldn't be complaining.
And anyway, if you seriously think that ISIS actually has the potential to be an international threat, you're buying into the story more than I thought. At this point, they're more than capable of taking over the Middle East, but the second they step into Russian, European, American, or pretty much any other territory, they're done. Your life is literally in no danger.
Why the FUCK are you talking about ISIS as if they're the only group, or as if they're going to perform some sort of land invasion?
Dude, the problem is some radicalized kid can blow himself up in a train. That's the danger.
Yeah, which is an actual crime. Protesting isn't. Showing support for ISIS isn't.
Again, what're we supposed to do? Handcuff bits and pieces of his body together after he commits an atrocity?
Like I said to Comms, obviously people like that should be put on some kind of watchlist and monitored closely, but to make the act of showing support for a group in and of itself illegal undermines the point of even having a country.
Except they're part of a terrorist group. They're terrorists.

The problem with the people ITT is that they're turning an issue of morality into an issue of politics. You act as if they're mutually exclusive.
This isn't even about ISIS, No, it isn't. Not sure why you assumed the guys were part of ISIS.
it's about the ideal of freedom of expression. The mere act of showing support for a group or idea, no matter how terrible that group or idea may be, is protected under the human code. Principles mean nothing if you're not willing to stand by them when it's inconvenient for you.
Dying is a pretty big inconvenience.

Uh.
What?
IS has no capability whatsoever to take over the Middle East. Have you even been following recent events involving them?
And IS is becoming an international thread because as their actual ability to take, hold, and govern land declines, they are putting more and more of their resources into foreign attacks. So they could be a very big international threat in the future.
Yeah, which is why we should be putting our resources into that, not into blindly arresting peaceful protestors. The smart thing to do is to put heavy government surveillance around the ISIS apologists, catch them doing, you know, a crime...not arresting them simply for expressing their misguided view for a group.
That's what they already do FFS. The only times they've been arresting them is if they are actually caught at the airport trying to join IS or trying to provide support to the group.
I know, but you're talking about heavier restriction than that. What they already do now is perfect.
No I'm not. I'm talking about heavier restrictions on people preaching for death. They provide indirect support to the group. Peaceful protesters don't aid the group in any way, and they just make themselves look like asses.
Preaching for death is peaceful protesting. Saying something should be done isn't the same thing as doing it.
