The whole thread was about police being terrorists and not one answer where I specifically addressed why they are, even from the policeman who started the thread.
Sad really.

What kind of answer do you want? Those of us who responded to you supporting that cops = terrorists, did so in a disagreeing manner. There is nothing to debate when you try and compare cops and terrorists. You may not like LEO's and thats fine, but no one is going to debate that comparison because its not even close.

Debate logically with a guy who states that 1 in 10000 cops would turn on their own family if martial law was started as long as the $$$$ kept coming in? How the hell do you debate such rubbish? Your numbers are personal opinion and SHOULD be questioned. I don't need facts to disprove a made up ration!
As for your comparison...ok I'll bite:
How do Cops = Terrorists:
1. ummmmm got nothin
How come Cops DO NOT = Terrorists:
1. We don't behead
2. We don't blow ourselves up and kill 10's, 100's. or 1000's of innocent people for Allah or any other god
3. We don't hijack stuff and take hostages for $$$$ or exposure
etc....

I think it's important to ask ourselves this question: "When we see a police officer, what do we think?" Do we think "hey theres a good man/woman, willing to protect me and my family! I'm proud to have this force to protect and serve my country!" Or do we think "Dammit, was I speeding?? Is my tail-light out?? Don't look in their direction because they might think you don't like them, plus I got long hair! (me) I don't want them to assume I'm on drugs!!" etc etc...
I think most people these days are just paranoid of cops. They abuse their power often, and sometimes in subtile ways. I've been pulled over for the stupidest things at points in my life, and if a cop ever tells me "there is no quota" all I can do is laugh. Theres a quota mmkay?? Not only that, but you have to walk egg-shells around cops otherwise they might pull something like that incident where they dragged the 21 yr old girl off the bus for flipping em off. Hell, I work retail, and people flip me off and make rude-ass comments and get pissed off and cry when we don't have a WII in stock for them. People do FAR more to provoke the hell out of average people just the same as cops, if not more. Im not allowed to pitch a fit and tackle a customer lol, hell I can't even tell them what I REALLY THINK w/o getting fired.
My point?? I could give soooo many personal examples of the true nature of most cops is to simply make you feel as tho you are "inferior" to them, and they LOVE it, and LOTS of cops became cops JUST for that little superior rush alone. THEY have the power, and the fact is VERY MANY cops are like that. I'm glad we have cops, but I'm not glad that we have the cops we have today.

Im pretty sure anyone reading this thread already knows you lack any sort of integrity and your choice will be the cash, just like the 99,999 others who dont walk away.
Cops take more hostages for $$$$$ than any other group in the world. WTF do you think an "arrest" is?
No you might not kill people for god, but you sure do seem to kill lots of people, even with supposed non-lethal weapons.
Now I have never seen a cop behead anyone, but I wouldnt rule it out based just on your testimony. Its not like cops have never been caught lying.

This is exactly why they are terrorists. You are very correct! When your average person sees a cop, they aren't relieved, they get nervous, anxious, or scared. This is by definition a terror attack! Now being a former cop myself I believe that most cops are aware of this, or at least enjoy the reaction. That's why they are cops! It's not about serving the good of the public anymore, it's a chance to take money from people, enforce statutory laws of no purpose other than tax collection and intimidation and they enjoy it!
