    I love police officers

    when I see one I just wanna be like, hey dog thanks for watchin out for me

    doin real good

    One night at the end of a party that was like, an hour walk from my house, I was on the phone trying to get a cab to go home because I was in no shape to walk all the goddamn way after that party.

    After 10 minutes of trying, a cop came over, asked if I was ok, and when I said I was fine, just trying to get a taxi, he gave me a ride home.

    I am a fan of that cop.

    One of my friends got blackout drunk in this small little town where a friend's dad owns a cabin. They have one taxi cab and one driver.

    We all went to the bars to party one night, and he kind of disappeared. We got back at 2am, and he was nowhere to be seen. When we woke up, he was passed out on the floor. Eventually he came to, and he said he got a cab ride back. Upon going out again the next night, the cab driver said that she remembered getting the call, and she remembered hanging up on my friend because he wasn't making any sense, and not giving him a ride. But his wallet was short the $12 fare, so we were trying to piece it together.

    As best we can tell, he got a ride home from the cops, thought it was the taxi because of the red radio lights that look like a fare meter, and shoved $12 into their hands for the ride.

    So Pip, are you arguing that the use of the bean bag was legal, permissible, or necessary/ideal?

    I bet if I even punched a 12 year old I felt was threatening to me I would go to prison, lets just leave the whole point blank bean bag shotgun out of it.

    yeah oranges are pretty good but apples are the superior fruit

    I really, really hate when people quote a post and just say "you are dumb" but I think I now understand why they do it.

    Seriously though a cop should be subject to the same laws as you or me.

    There were two officers, and one twelve year old girl. Would you really say that one guy holding her down while another guy shoots her point blank with a bean bag shotgun was the best way to go?

    no

    Okay I will concede that some stuff they should be able to bypass, like traffic laws and whatnot. But what about the second part?
    no because that isn't what happened

    http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2009/11/portland_officer_in_12-year-ol.html

    12 year old girl resists arrest, one officer holds her down while she struggles against him trying to punch/scratch him, the other shoots her at point blank in the leg with a beanbag shotgun.

    looks pretty much exactly what happened to me?

    so she was still not actually restrained and still a threat?

    gotcha

    In this whole quote tree you still never answered the question I asked you in the first place.

    She's setting herself up.

    Her current stuff sells amazingly, and it sounds good even if most of it isn't because of her vocal work.

    Two or three albums from now, expect a reinvention of sorts that's critically-acclaimed and plants her in the realm of soft rock/acoustic.

    Someone told me that while the character of Lady Gaga is a biological hermaphrodite, Stefani Germanotta was born a woman.

    Which is confusing.

    this isn't true in the least

    but its always hilarious to see insecure men get angry about lady gaga because SHE MIGHT BE TRANSGENDERED!!!! yucky!!!

    I wasn't getting angry, and I heard this from a person who heard it from a person who heard...... it from a university course called Gender Studies.

    So now I am asking the question here because se++ probably knew the answer.

    no, but that is also a rumour people have spread about here

    hermaphrodite is pretty awful though, the term is intersexed
    Wait, hermaphrodite is not OK? I thought itwas acceptable because it's the scientific term for having both sets of reproductive organs
    political correctness is confusing.
