Well I disagree, wouldn't exactly call it 'reasonable'......lantern53 is coming from a position of familiarity with the fraternity though he's quite honest in his motivations for his addictive love for his chosen 'profession', as it provides that calming "rush" of the constant stimulus of adrenal secretions to feed those over-ramped receptors that his habit constantly demands.

He's career, so his attitude ain't gonna change much folks...

He's admitted that he'll 'play-ball' in a courtroom situation to save his job and pension, and plays the frat card again when someone suggests that 'all cops are criminals', which they obviously are (especially in the United States) to any reasonable individual, oh and, when faced with being judged by a reasonable public standard by the people he's allegedly pledged to protect and serve, he'll 'judge' them by a similar, opposite standard, when he sees himself threatened with a realization that they could in fact, be correct in their judgements.

Typical. Programmed, frightened and confused, American, cop.

Yeah man, you night wanna check your shit and decide whether-or-not you're one of the bad ones?? Because you sound like the worst example of so-called 'law-enforcement' to this sinner.

If it squeals like a pig, smells like a pig.....

(Oh, for all you youngsters whose hippie-parents now work for the machine, the term "pig" was used as a derogatory and appropriate euphemism for the police back in the 60s when that dick-less generation failed to shut-down the runaway freight train of human subjugation in the United States.)

Can Hoist The Gator become a new sexual euphemism?

As well as the adoption of the euphemism, I find it interesting that this is getting portrayed as "saved by the gun". Which is nothing close to the truth. The gun allowed the victim to get revenge, but it didn't protect him from the attack. Had the taser not malfunctioned, his gun would have been useless or worse, stolen and used against him.

It points out the weakness of the "guns as defense" claims...by definition, the attacker gets to make the first move. So unless you have your gun in your hand at all times, and are willing to shoot anyone you think suspicious, a gun will not prevent an attack. It -does- certainly provide incentive for the attacker to make his attack as lethal as possible, so that the victim has no second-strike capability.

Doesn't it seem weird that the news has adopted the perpetrators cutesy euphemism to describe the assaults? It's like seeing a news story on the growing problem of surprise sex.

Appreciated-This happens not infrequently when colloquial euphemisms are used to make a point-That point lost in translation for some whose itchy-trigger-fingers twitch at the very odour of being able to scream RACISM! from the high tower of moral superiority and cultural sensitivity.

Hey babymech, your comment was popular, eh? You can't "hear" the written word by the way, you "read" it. The word "nigger" rang in the head like a church bell, and a predictable knee-jerk reaction followed at the sight of a combination of keystrokes, choosing not to address the meat of my comment, but fixated instead on some inferred or assumed character flaw? It's a diversionary tactic not uncommon with so-called 'news' and political organizations not unlike my conscious decision to use an inflammatory euphemism to invoke a predictable reaction.

In a sane world, men who rape women would be shot at sunrise and people who cry racism when they read a single printed word are in desperate need of continuing education.

Danke, braschlosan-This has happened here before when I've intentionally pushed the "OMG racism!" button.

As a good friend of mine is fond of saying - "Euphemism leads to optimism."

Also, I think friendly fire is a pretty old phrase, WW2 era I think. Prior to that, friendly fire was probably very uncommon due to weapons and tactics.

So the "calcium" is a euphemism for "protein", and "protein" is a euphemism for "meat". Oh I get it, don't suck his meat.

What I inferred from this video isn't what I think the author intended. I believe the implication was that we're lost our "economic freedom" (whatever that's a euphemism for) and that's why our country is so unstable.

What I took from it, is that the increasing disparity between the wealthy and the poor in this country are both a cause and effect of economic freedom.

Whole thing was worth an easy upvote, but I'd furiously upvote that last sentence all day long if I could...

/not a euphemism ^

Indeed, the inescapable irony.


These tactics are time-honored, cameras and tech simply gives them new tools:
These thugs still use covert operations, undercover agents, and perlustration (now made simple with facebook/twitter/etc) and agent provocateurs.

How 'bout we all call this techy cunt being used by these other cunts and let him know how much safer the world is for the assholes in charge now that Billy is working for the secret police??.....MEH!-"Crowd-sourced policing": A euphemism for creating a police state, one-citizen-at-a-time.

"Rattle myself daft into it" - that's a masturbation euphemism I've not heard!

Is that a euphemism?

I thought "dissolved organic matter" was a euphemism for overspill from flooded sewage treatment plants?

That clam is a living euphemism

I must be falling behind on euphemisms for girl parts.
