I just want to mention the fact that this is where Dave and I had our little altercation with the police last year. Coincidence? I think not!

Suprise, suprise!

And I'm sure the local populace are a bunch of innocent angels.

I'm not saying the cops are blameless, but that seems like a lot of people willing to do time for shit they didn't do.

As long as you're not doing anything wrong, you should have nothing to fear, right?

My point was more along the lines of "maybe we shouldn't be so quick to take the word about police wrongdoings of people who, as a group, prove they are doing the wrong thing regularly enough to have a reputation for it."

Even I've heard of Camden.

Typical of cops....the underlying problem is that good cops will not rat out bad ones...so IMO the good ones need to share in the misconception that all cops are crooked because they do little to offset that notion.

"Among those suspended was 29-year-old patrolman Kevin Parry. On March 19, he admitted in court that he stole drugs from some suspects, planted them on others, bribed prostitutes with drugs for information, conducted searches without warrants, lied on police reports and in testimony, and roughed up suspects. He acknowledged 50-70 acts of police misconduct from May 2007 to October 2009"

Like I said, the cops aren't blameless. But it's the usual suspects here shouting FTP, so I figured I'd remind people that for every dirty cop there are thousands of dirty citizens.

Yes but the citizens do not have given authority over other citizens. This is the crux of the debate.
