"I have stood by the officers since Day One, and I will not waver from that position because they have done nothing wrong." -- Denver police union president Nick Rogers, explaining that beating senseless random people on the street then lying about it under oath is just expected police behavior, and it's thus wrong to punish cops for doing it.

Ground rules: Comments that consist solely of insults, fact-free talking points, are off-topic, or simply spam the same argument over and over will be deleted. The penguin is the only one allowed to be an ass here. All viewpoints, however, are welcomed, even if I disagree vehemently with you.
WARNING: You are entitled to create your own arguments, but you are NOT entitled to create your own facts. If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.
