Reason police sometimes use extra force!

Yeah, not a bad point there...

but Italians are considered white people, as far as my experience goes.

Sorry experience differs.

Anyone here seen the movie True Romance?

There's a great scene in which old man Worley (Dennis Hopper) is being slapped around by the mob crew, who show up trying to find his son Clarence (Val Kilmer), who has stolen their cocaine. The consiglieri (played by Christopher Walken) tells Worley that he might as well talk, because they're gonna beat the information out of him anyway. So Worley, a hard-bitten retired cop, figures he can make them kill him, before he spills the beans. So, he gets a smoke from them (while his broken nose bleeds), and then tells them that all Sicilians are descended from n*ggers, and then tells the story of the Muslim invasion of Sicily in the 9th century. His thesis: Africans invaded Sicily, and raped all the women, therefore, all Sicilians are descended from n*ggers. Walken, playing the consiglieri, looks around, and laughs (mirthlessly), and then puts a 9 mm to his head, and blows him away.

Is that what you mean, Baldimo? It wouldn't matter you know, because you have described yourself at this site as white, and later, as non-white and proud of it--either way, one of those statements was a lie.

I feel neither bad nor good about your inability to consistently describe yourself in a plausible manner.

Italians are white folks . . . get over it . . .

Nope can't do it. I don't consider myself white and most people I know don't consider me white. Sorry. You get over it. (emoticon removed in the interest of maturity)

Given your past track record for telling lies about yourself, i don't for a moment believe you.

Say what you will it doesn't matter. Instead of debating what you think I am why not debate the thread. Once again the personal attacks you unleash on people is beyond anything I have seen most people do. That is why I found it so funny you reported someone for personal attacks. This is just one more example.

I'll debate the thread:

Noone has provided any justification for why police use unneccessary force. Noone has even attempted to do so. Instead, there have been nothing but allegations that the dangerous nature of the job justifies the violence sometimes perpetrated by police. And that's bullsh*t.

How about the # of cops that are killed every year? As a cop it would make me jumpy. Even though they are trained that doesn't stop the nautral fight or flight instincts from taking hold. People over react and cops are not immune by any means.

If you had not so blatanly lied in the past, i'd not be able to make such remarks.

Most of the cases of the cops beating the sh*t out of someone aren't due to stress situations (in which the cops are in fear of their life) but in situations where the subject initially resists arrest for one reason or another, and the cops end up going far too far in order to subdue the subject.

I'd nearly posted some serious response response until I notice that humorous remark about Italians not being white ...
