3. I looked at some of the comments following the article. Some people would welcome a police state.

In their eyes, the police can do no wrong.

I always thought the police had to be held to a higher standard because of the power we give them.

7. They would in fact love to have a fascist authoritarian dictatorship. To them,

bullying is fun and is a recreational sport. It's taken me awhile to realize we have some really sick F's in America. They would embrace a police state with open arms.

5. Oh, yeah, Tony Bologny. nt

9. Maybe Tony will get an idea of what it feels like to have an unlubed rocket

shot up his ass.

8. I can't see them not winning

I feel like even the NYPD admitted wrongdoing by transfering him.
