Cop on #OWS last night: "I couldn't wait," he said. "Destroying things never felt so good."
As the two men talked, a sweaty-faced man wearing a neon vest over a business suit walked up and started tearing protest signs off the wall."I couldn't wait," he said. "Destroying things never felt so good."

"Really," someone said, almost inflecting the word as a question.

"They're fucking assholes," the guy in the suit shot back.

1. These guys don't get on the force by accident --
Edited on Wed Nov-16-11 02:38 AM by defendandprotect
Hartmann told the story recently that he wanted to qualify as private investigator

and evidently it was required that he go thru some part of police training --

At the graduation exercise he was sitting with someone who was a higher up in department

and he commented to him that "you couldn't pay me enough to get shot at!" --

Conversation went into salaries -- guys on the take -- and then the info that ...

"Many cops are good cops and do their jobs -- however, 50% of the force would pay you

for letting them do the job so they could beat up people!"



This isn't something he did currently --- obviously when he was younger --

but see no signs not true now!!

2. I believe it. All sadists or those who ignore the illegal actions of their fellow cops.

8. The title is very misleading. I'm no cop lover, but it isn't the cop that said it. He's repeating
what he heard a suit say.

10. The last two posts are correct. It's someone involved with the park owners.
