It does not always go that easily and I'm sure you realize that. What if you were of hispanic origin and that officer had a axe to grind, do you think that you still would have gotten off so easy?

Lets try to make this easy for you to understand, suppose that you are a flaming queen and you are driving through the backwoods of some small town in Texas and you are pulled over by a highly conservative cop. You are all alone and you can tell he does not like you.......what are the chances that this will turn out ok?

Oh it can only be bad right? All cops are power mad Nazi's. None are honest or have integrity. Ok I got that.
Every cop including the many Hispanic cops are going to hassle Hispanics.

I NEVER said that! Please reread my post! Isaid that all that it would take is a few. I'm not that paranoid or stupid to say that all cops are bad, but I'm not stupid enough to say that all are good either

He must be smoking what the idiot leaders in California are. He obviously has no understanding of SB1070, our own federal laws, and needs to be taken out of office since it's becoming clearer and clearer that his intentions are not to protect the well-being of the U.S. citizens.


Thank you, i agree those in power in my State of Calif, are morons, without smoking anything, they don't need drugs, to make them the ignorant stupid morons they are. It is clear to me they don't give a damn about us citizens, only illegals being here illegally, to help their agendas!! With Obama Power with the course, this is what i expect from him, and nothing better.

As far as the enforment of the law b/c of a few deviates, lets look at the root of various riots throughout the country in the pass 40 years that were caused b/c of "one or two officers" that abuse their positions....

Louisville - beating of a blackman 1968
Watts -illegal arrest 1965
Newark - murder of a cab driver by police 1967
Rodney King -1992
Cincinnati - murder of child by police 2001

And before those don't forget about the Zoot Suiters in La.

Just these 5 riots caused millions of dollars in damages and not to mention lost of life by many all b/c a cop or two decided to take the law into their own hands. Don't get me wrong there is a probelm in Arizona but this law will only make it worst in the long run.

Compare the stats of those events with the stats involving crimes committed and damage done by ILLEGAL ALIENS.

Sheriff Joe is doing this country a great service - HE HAS the courage and conviction that the President of the United States and Congress LACK.

You cannot simply state that a law must not be enforced because there is a chance that one or two officers out of the hundreds or thousands enforcing said law may abuse the system.

In the immortal words of Spock, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
I think I've used this same quote a couple of times myself. It fits.

Or what if the officer were black and he had an axe to grind against white people or vice versa? Or what if the officer were asian and had an axe to grind against black people? Or what if the officer were hispanic and he had an axe to grind against both whites and blacks? See where we are going with this? So what is your point? Most officers are not racists and that is the bottom line.
