You can bet your sweet bippie that the cops are protecting themselves after being accused of BS. They are the law so get over it.

Uh huh. Pitch "racist cop" to a jury already inclined to let off that feetball hero, no matter what, because O.J. lived in Brentwood, not Watts. I wonder what he paid the evidence-locker people to shrink that glove before the trial. As you say, he knew every crooked cop on the force!

IOW, a jury with mainly black members would never find a black sports hero guilty. Of course the obverse of that would be that a white jury would always find a black sports hero guilty. Or were you too silly to realize exactly what you were saying. Of course black juries send black people to jail all the time; but if they don't send them to jail in high profile cases - even with slipshod evidence - then something must be "wrong".

Nicole's blood spatters all over O.J.'s socks was slipshod evidence?

And maybe people also forget the lie detector test that O.J. was taking for Attorney Dershowitz (I think) and Cochrane shut it down immediately when he saw what was happening.  O.J. wanted the test because he thought he was smart enough to pass it.

Cochrane obviously knew he wasn't.... and shut it down.  Dershowitz was no longer on the case!

My point is that "truth" was irrelevant to the defense team.

Oj took the test, not realizing that the mention of the woman he had be married toad had children by would OF COURSE cause an emotional reaction, which is what lie detectors purport to detect; and why they aren't allowed into court as evidence. Only a psychopath wouldn't have a reaction to the brutal death of someone they once were close to. You people are so desperate to find him guilty, you are willing to believe anything no matter how ridiculous. BTW, ANY attorney will stop any questioning of his client by the police. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=never+answer+the+police&FORM=VIRE1#view=detail&mid=FA84B3FAD2000F47781DFA84B3FAD2000F47781D

They are not THE law. They are there to uphold the law. You forget that we now live in the era of the cell phone camera. So now we can actually catch photos of police misbehavior. Because no matter how often we see that misbehavior, there are still stupid fucks out there who believe that the police are above reproach.

If I was a cop and someone told me that I was not the law,
I would bust his/their head.

Obama is the main reason the racial divide is as bad as it is.

Maybe in the old west, when the only law was the sheriff, but today?
God knows, I wish this was the old west, where govt was something Easterners had to contend with.

Which would pretty much prove that person's point.



Unfortuanately, there are far too many cops (and judges) who think exactly the same way you do.

Why??

Let show a little respect for our law enforcement people. They are the only law we have. If your nice to them (most) they will return the favor. That little cop that gave me a ticket threw the book at me... And I was nice... But we need the law.
If a cop is not the law, Is he\she a plumber?

Just because someone said I was not the law does not give me the right to bust their heads.  You use force when needed.  Being nice does not always get you off the hook.

You mean the socks the LAPD's own film show them to be nowhere near where they were supposedly found? IOW we should accept that oddly placed evidence isn't odd in some other way? How about that blood being on the inside of socks but not on the outside when Simpson's leg was supposedly in them? Did the blood go through his leg? and it goes on and on like that.

You mean the old West where they lynched people because of their reputation? Or where cattle barons hired gunmen to murder homesteaders. As for being free of gov't, in the Old West people lived in the very arms of the government. From the land the government gave them, to the army that drove the Native Americans off of it - and killed them if they came back, to the subsidized railroads which brought people out to settle the land.

Yep, that's the one. Regardless of the ass holes that existed during that time, you were still free of govt far more than you are today.
Screw the cities and towns, I'd have been in the outback trapping and hunting for a living. FREE!
