17. What does that have to do with anything?
Edited on Tue Jun-08-10 05:14 PM by no limit
Do you honestly believe we should not have a police department?

I'm no fan of the police in general. Just as I'm not a fan of wall street brokers. But in the end it's an occupation. Do some cops do really fucked up shit? Obviously. Do some wall street brokers crash the economy while collecting giant bonuses? Obviously. Do some mexicans break in to houses and steal shit? Obviously. But you can't take that and automatically assume everyone in that group does it, at the very least that makes you a total dick.

There are cops that are good people who wanted to make a living helping people. There are some wall street brokers that are good people (I know hard to believe) and don't rip off their clients and crash entire economies. Obviously the majority of mexicans are good people just like everyone else. Yet you want to profile one group while not profiling other groups. Funny standards you got there.
