Re: Pa. Patriot ARRESTED at the OC dinner @ The Old Country Buffet in Dickson City 5/
Seems to me that Dave is sensitive to any perceived anti police sentiment. It may or may not be anti cop, but if Dave percieves it as such, he defends. Lots of folks will defend members of thier society, fraternity, etc., right or wrong. Methinks that may be what's going on here.
I grew up in the 70's, so my first instinct is to distrust the police. After all, Miranda states- "Anything you say will be used in court against you", not in your defense. I don't talk to police (in an official capacity) if I can help it.
Just this past weekend, I was present when a PSP officer sided with a Balto. Co. Detective in a domestic issue. He (PSP) was wrong (according to a District Justice), but we're talking cop to cop here. Closing ranks, Old Boy network, whatever you call it, it's us vs. them, and it's wrong.
So maybe before deciding someone is attacking the police, we should step out of the fraternity and see it with objective, non-insider eyes, not law officer eyes.
Just my $0.02.
