Never mind the fact that if you're stationary and a car is pulling away from you, it is fucking impossible to shoot the driver in the side of the head unless you're Reed Richards.

That's not how cars work, and you know it, asshole.

Never mind that local media used an old mugshot for the victim's photo, until a swift and fierce backlash rectified that situation.

Right on the "blue wall". (Thin blue line is actually a movie title.)

When it comes to covering for other cops, honesty usually takes a back seat to loyalty, so your suspicions are probably well-founded.

Now all of a sudden the "No matter how wrong and abusive Officer Friendly is, you must kowtow to him" crowd thinks they know more than the police themselves-"it's a conspiracy against the officer! The prosecutor is in cahoots with Obama and Holder and all the rest of the Blacks!"

Hip hop DJ Jay Smooth sums it up nicely. For those of you who are not familiar with Jay's video blogs, he's one of the most articulate observers of our culture going today.

So 1950's paranoia wasn't limited to commies?

Honestly, this one isn't a very good entry. I could barely even manage to yawn with boredom.

Alternate Universe ? How long for the rest of the country's gestapo pigs to return to the human race ?

They are prosecuting because he is a campus cop, not a "real" policeman. No thin blue line for him.

See or read "Serpico" for the result of that. It ain't pretty.

Not required in Baja Nebraska. If I drive my GeezerWagon to Ohio does I get shot?

Holy shit I lived in Ohio seven years and was never pulled over for not having a front license plate.

"Willing to arrest and testify against bad cops?" Good luck with that. Video evidence gives the better cops a reason/excuse to step away from the thin blue line, and I'm betting that this is a major reason that they're in favor of the cams. "Sorry, Jack, but what can I do? They got it on video."

That's their business model.
