    Ah, it seems that Betty Crocker has tapped into the true spirit of Christmas with her barrage of F**k You's. BTW Betty...your cop friend seems to have done a lot of good. What have you ever done?

    Vulgar cops? Sure, they exist, though this one wasn't exactly sticking his gun in a snowball thrower's face. Some cops are indeed assholes.This one isn't one of those.

    Also, for all the people in this thread whining about their pot bust, try not breaking the law next time.I'm going to spend this afternoon cuddling with a guy who has hauled a homeless person off a subway track, gotten a heroin addicted hooker a legit job, and delivered a baby in a taxi.

    He's a cop. Fuck you.

    @BettyCrocker: I'm not clear on how your cuddle-cop doing some nice things means the cop who pulled a FUCKING GUN on civilians for the crime of throwing snowballs, in plainclothes, without identifying himself, isn't an asshole. He's an asshole. Fuck you.

    @deva14: Fuck you, dummy.

    Did you even see the video clip which is, in fact, a clip?

    Perhaps you should also see the clip of some Long Island douches throwing a frozen turkey at a driver, which required her to get plastic surgery to look even close to what she looked like before.

    Deva14, drop dead in a gutter while the cops you hate are busy elsewhere.

    @BettyCrocker: I can see why you might be sensitive, but, really. If you watch the video clips we see the two sides of law enforcement. We see a complete ass pull his weapon and almost push a mob having fun into becoming something dangerous, then we see a uniformed police officer show up, act like a total professional, and calm the situation down. I like to think the majority of officers are more like the latter.

    @BettyCrocker: By pulling a gun? Sorry you're wrong. Were he not a cop that would have been deemed completely excessive force. A civilian would have been charged with a crime for that sort of thing.

    @BettyCrocker: Why are you defending this asshole so vehemently? The other cops - who behaved professionally and very nicely in the situation - are not even on this guy's side. You don't pull a gun on someone who broke a windshield either; it's completely inappropriate and he deserves the disdain he's receiving. Maybe your wonderful cop boyfriend would appreciate the concept of people NOT knee-jerk defending every cop out there because dudes like the guy in the clip are what makes people assume cops are all assholes.

    Hey everyone. Calm your asses down. I can't believe people are arguing that it is wrong to throw snowballs at cars. Are you all serious? That's what cars are for! Besides... they are the main cause of global warming. How else is the snow supposed to fight back? I mean, sure....icy roads fuck up a car now and then. But we all must do our part to help the snow exact revenge. Besides....these were HUMMERS!!! Stupid hulking cars driven by assholes with microdicks, named after a well-known sex act. Please people. If we can't snowball a Hummer... WTF is this world coming to?!!??!

    Lenny Bruce say:

    Demonstrators often mistake authority for the officer in whom power is vested. Don't do that, he said, always calling cops pigs and such. The only exception to this rule, say Lenny Bruce, is the post office.

    That's what Lenny Bruce said. Wacked out of his gourd.
