Unless you believe that police abuse is an enjoyable experience, you are asking me to recite for the board a very unenjoyable experience, saying that unless I do so then I'm just spouting empty meaningless unsupported hatefulness.
Yes. That is exactly what you are doing. Unless you back up your hateful comments with SOMETHING that others can understand, your comments are unsupported and indeed empty and meaningless to the discussion.
So, either you can explain to me how police abuse is an enjoyable experience, or you can show me threads where you went into personal detail about a traumatic experience that has occured to you.
Please show me where I said anything about it being enjoyable and how that has anything to do with this topic?
I went into great and painful detail about my experiences with abuse and depression/related disorders in one of the threads not too long ago. I will look for the link, if you like.
Or you can shut up about how I don't detail my own personal horror stories for your amusement.
You really have a chip on your shoulder, don't you? I said nothing about "my own amusement."
Listen - you are making some pretty horrible and damning statements about the integrity of a large group of people. Not one or two people, or even a faction of the group - but a huge group of people...
all of them, in fact.
You have a personal horror story? Fine. One personal story might be horrible for the individual, but it hardly serves as evidence for condemning
an entire group. All it is is ONE incident.
I am not asking you to go into gory detail...but it seems that what you want to do is to have people in this (one-sided) dialogue simply accept what you say at face value without you having to provide one single shred of evidence to back up your claim.
You stated that the police are "little better than the criminals" they are supposed to be protecting us from. That's a hell of a statement.
You didn't say "some" police; you said ALL of them. You didn't say that you had been a victim of some sort of police abuse (once, or twice or more) and this is why you have such a negative attitude towards the entire police force, everywhere. Apparently, you
have had such an experience. But you have not explained (or even tried to explain) why this personal experience would cause you to make such a wide-reaching statement.
If you don't care to discuss it, fine. Naturally, painful experiences are difficult to discuss. But then don't come in here, make insulting and inflammatory statements and then coyly and obliquely refer to the very experiences you then refuse to discuss.
If you are not prepared to back these statements up with facts or some kind of evidence, don't make the statements.
