Absolute power corrupts absolutely...
No matter who, no matter what...there are no exceptions.. It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power. ~ David Brin

Actually, you win the ribbon for deflection: You deflected from a wrongful police shooting to a debate about school choice. I hate to point out the obvious, but considering its you, I guess I have to. This thread had been deflected from the OP for a number of pages before my post. And in part by your compandre, among others. I simply commented on statements he had made already. Yet you single out me for cynicism for what other folks have done and done prior to me. Your angst is unhealthy, as is your focus.

Gotcha... Pub. Ed is bad, and you are so much against it, that you choose a career in it.. Those kids don't get to choose where they go to school, and my opposition to public funding of education shouldn't prevent me from doing my best in their regard.

So, movies provide you the factual basis for your absurd cackling.
Now I understand.
Try real life sometime.
Yeah, like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoNkmAUKWEgYou and I know that Phillips(and every one of his fellow officers he mentions) are heroes. Yep, payoffs to cops keeps business flowing smoothly, and everyone's happy, right?

You back up time parolees snort way too much amyl nitrate.
Pretend you have an education and learn to write or have someone help you with your abysmal sentence structure.
Even prisons have libraries. Crawl into one of those instead of your cell mate's bunk.

Actually, I dragged the commentary back to the most basic question posed by the op. the most basic question of the OP was simply a matter if the cops were justified in the shooting, not your phantasm police state, photo-op of �bama, jerk-off-a-thon. The only thing you dragged was your bromance with TRH out of the closet. I found it chivalrous the way you parried me from showing the hypocrisy of your biggest "+1'er". <insert pithy quote> <insert supporting picture>

I prefer teaching to those other occupations, and the public school system pays more than does the private.
In no way, however, does that diminish my principled opposition to the institution. Those kids don't get to choose where they go to school, and my opposition to public funding of education shouldn't prevent me from doing my best in their regard. Casuistic dissembling. If you were true to your stated principles, you would take the reduction in salary and teach in a private school, because the parents of those children and the children themselves are actively engaged in a system of education that you consider to be in closer accordance with the founding principles of the United States. By claiming to devote yourself to children who did not choose to be enrolled in a public school system, you are publicly embracing a Progressive Democrat approach to the collective good that is clearly at odds with the political arguments you've made here for years. You sold out your principles for the increased salary and state pension.
