I hate the arguement, "guns don't kill people, people kill people." So what, people use guns to kill people. Where am I going with this?

Jews.

People who are against gay marriage also hate Jews? Is that the point of your little cleverism? Nice.
Incidentaly, Jewish law is strictly against homosexuality, those raving bigots!

what causes drunk driving?

here's one.

being beat up by cops the night a person actually makes an effort to never do it again, ie. parking his car downtown and cabbing it to the northeast.

this was precipitated by police egging him on, saying, 'i bet you drank and drove tonight, eh?' while he was in handcuffs. funny thing, the guy didn't even start the fight that he was arrested for!

unluckily for society when the cops poured him into a cab he was alert enough to get driven to his car and drive himself to the hospital to get treated.

ever since then, things like innocent people and the rule of society mean very little to him.

true story.

[Maritime Q-Scout]

what causes people to drink and drive? A question for the ages, up there with the mystery of life...

here's the answer

people drink this beverage called alcohol

then they drink too much alcohol they enter a state called drunk

people use automobiles this is called driving, and people drive these automobiles when they need to go somewhere

now when someone is drunk and they decide to use an automoblie

therefore when people drink alcohol and become drunk then need to go somewhere and drive an automobile this causes drinking and driving

What a ridiculous story... im sure thats EXACTLY how it happened... maybe you shudda prefaced it with 'based on a true story' 'cause we all know what that means (some of the names and events have been changed to protect the innocent or to make the story that much better).

Beyond the realm of gangster rap obsessed teens, most people realize that police officers are good people who are protecting the citizens of our city. If you stay out of trouble and act appropriate cops are very reasonable. Is one out of a million a bad apple? Maybe but the b.s. 'us against the cops' attitude is so pathetic.

when did I ever say I was against cops? The only thing I've ever done was told my stories of police brutality and try to prove that cops aren't always trying to be stand up citizens or trying to help others. And I'm hardly a "gangsta"

Peter12 did once kill a man in Reno just to watch him die however.

take it for what it's worth - not much, a message posted on a hockey board of all things.

but i bore personal witness to this incident, as well as other incidents involving calgary cops.

i don't totally blame the cops - they have serious manpower deficiencies and have to cope with a rising tide of asian gangs and our friendly local bikers (or more problematic - their sycophants...).

what should really happen is more cops on the streets, which would reduce incidences of cops starting situations off on the wrong foot. less cops = more problems from cops.

and don't think i believe this is unique among canadian cities, quite honestly vancouver cops can be a lot worse. there was one locally infamous incident involving a stolen and found vehicle that involves a guy i know. his suv was found by the police and returned, but there was a paperwork snafu somewhere and the vehicle was still on the 'stolen' list. a day later the vehicle was boxed in and its four inhabitants beaten with clubs.

there are incidents like this everywhere, but here is a message from the wary:

these incidents are causing intellectual shifts among witnesses and victims into the nether regions of society. all criminals are not born criminals. all criminals are not raised criminals.

some people are very straight and realize that that cannot save them from cops that cross the line.

the 'law and order' mentality that sounds like being tougher on crime is not always beneficial with all things considered. i have seen all kinds of rules broken by the police, from walking into/through houses uninvited to high speed chases initiated by unmarked police cruisers that don't flash their lights.

catherine silverberg left an ugly legacy as part of her time here. the high she left on, the peaceful streets free of protest, were the rosy picture we see of a big-balled proactive theme that permeates the whole department.

problem 1) there aren't enough cops.

problem 2) having cops that need to be more aggressive will result in more people not into the straight and narrow lifestyle.

if that is fine with everyone then i guess it's not a problem.

Ya know, i dont take offense to too many things on a board... however implying that I am racist is quite is not only VERY insulting by slanderous.

I was simply stating how hypocritcal you are posting things about crime/police when you yourself have a convicted felon representing your posts.

It is quite obvious that your ignorance about drunk driving and the Ferguson incident have clouded any rational thought on the either subjects.

And you can play the symantics game by stating, 'where did i say that i hate cops', but it quite clear from your posts that you do. You 'told your stories of police brutality' so you say. I'm sure your sources are VERY credible. Did you do any investigation of your own or just take a story told to you by a buddy at face value?

You sir really have no clue... what experience do you actually have in the police/ enforcement/ judicial processes that makes you think you can spout of about anything related?
