and predictably the usual tinfoil suspects wanna turn it into the cops abusing someone
Oh, for Pete's sake! I know you have a chip on your shoulder about people criticizing police officers, but you really should pay attention to the particular thread on which you posting. Not only is this thread is not a criticism of police officers, no one has remotely implied that "cops [were] abusing someone" in this instance.
If you want to complain about "police bashing," at least choose a thread in which the cops were actually criticized, whether correctly or not.
or the evil media conspiracy.
Again--read more carefully. No one has said anything about a conspiracy or a general statement about "the evil media." If you disagree with what someone has actually written, please tell us why rather than reacting to something that has
not been written.
In addition, the phrase "the usual tinfoil suspects" is an obvious violation of the rules of courtesy to which you agreed when you signed up for this forum. If you want to disagree with an argument, do so. Do
not launch
ad hominem attacks against people (even imaginary ones!). Do
not misrepresent what others have said. These tactics don't help your argument and they are not appropriate to The High Road.
