I'm sick to my stomach too, from all the whining and paranoia. The cops were
just doing their *job*. Would you want to be the cop that opted not to check
someone's ID, resulting in some horrific act? All that asswipe photographer
had to do was show his ID. If he wasn't doing anything wrong he didn't have
anything to worry about. Walk a mile in the cops' shoes before you get your
panties in a knot. They have families to feed, career expectations to meet,
etc. etc. When the cops can shoot you for not having an ID, then you can
whine.


Did you even fucking read it or are you such a war monger & a police power fan that you missed the part where there were other people (that he took pictures of as proof) that had cameras that were not approached/accosted/asked for ID? Not just a few, but a whole bunch of them? They weren't a bunch of white people either, they were the average american mix in the pacific northwest that most white people seem to forget exist.

Did you miss the part where he got permission first?

Did you miss the part where he refused to give his ID to a rent a cop but gave it to a police officer, only to be photographed 'for their records' after producing a valid identification and then told he was breaking the law when HE GOT PERMISSION TO DO IT, AND THEY FUCKING HAVE TOURS TO LET PEOPLE DO THAT ALL THE TIME??

Good god man, shut the fuck up if you're going to spout off without reading it. either that or you read it and you've flunked reading comprehension 101 from 2nd grade oval tests. I'm not some knee jerk liberal who pukes up on everything but that was a bit extreme. Shit I can't believe that people stand for this crap or consider it whining to point out the injustice in it.
