Well, at least he admitted it I suppose. One more idiot American cop off the road.

YMB - //Too much common sense there Garaman! //

Thanks for your kind words - much appreciated!

Well it just goes to show how we can all easily read a different perspective on an article.

Would be a boring world though if we all had the same thought pattern wouldn't it ?

yes it sure would ymf !

( leaving aside C G Jung's idea of group consciousness
[ which to avoid a reflex hail of "Jung who he den?" and "group what-shusness what dat den?] I will explain : people having the same idea at the same time)

That's been renamed 'doner after pub syndrome'.

What a bizarre thread.

andy like me thinks this cop was being sarcastic, mikey and YMB think he is racist.

mikey gives best answer to andy who agrees with me that it isn't racism but an ill judged way of dealing with an hysterical woman.


Confused much ....

Decent summing up, Talbot-. Many use humour, even black humour, (no pun intended) to defuse situations. It seems to be a storm in a teacup to me. Not the wisest of wisecracks since it might disturb those with darker skin; but they weren't present and wouldn't have known had someone not made the video public. The correct response would be for the cop to be spoken to by his boss about inappropriate comments to the public.

Talbot, fans are often rather askew in their judgement. ;o)

looks like misplaced sarcasm to me, it would have been different if he'd used the repugnant 'n' word ...
