questionable cop to head union

[oldjones]

I just have more faith in the police than you. You clearly think they, and the rest of the judicial system, are all dumber than you. I have some respect, you see. But we sure are lucky to have you here to help us understand things.

Faith is for the magical mysteries of the world. When it comes to guys walking around with guns, we need close observation, real facts and tight rules, not fairytale hopes and dreams.

BTW, check your dictionary 'faith' and 'respect' are quite different concepts, and nothing about insisting cops respect the rules lessens the respect for the cops that do.

Serves those coppers right. If they want to be led by this bufoon, then that's their perogative. It's a democracy.

You are right. Perhaps the other choices were worse. He does have a rep for being a bit slippery, but hey, its union management so that to be expected isn't it ?

Holy fuck you're a drama queen. A murderer? Really? John Duncanson died in his sleep after a lengthy
battle with alcoholism. I doubt the evil policemans did that.

McCormack may be distasteful to you but he hasn't been convicted of any criminal charge, and all that means to you is that they couldn't 'make it stick'. Your inquisition mentality and leaps of logic are astounding. I love your remark that not 'coming clean' means he's 'hiding something'. That is a fallacious argument that erodes our freedoms and privacy.

I'm neither a cop nor a 'cop-lover' but neither do I think that they are all evil and corrupt creatures bent on destroying our civil liberties.

Do you really think that McCormack killed a guy, but that the police would vote to make him head of the union? Cops don't like murderers, you know.

Privacy does NOT extend into the workplace NOR does it extend to the use of highly confidential databases for unapproved uses. So nice of you to consider HIS privacy over the privacy of non-police citizens.

I used to think they didn't like criminals either, now I sometimes have trouble telling them apart except for the uniform and the blinky things on their cars.

McCormack is a corrupt shit like his old man, the apple never falls far from the tree. He is well protected and connected, from the lowest level street thugs and hustlers to very high up the food chain in the government bureaucracy. What I am saying is he is a protected species and that is why he has not been convicted of anything and he had the audacity to have run for and been elected to his current post. He is a reflection of the entire system and should not be singled out.
