The fact that they censor this act between consenting adults, made for consenting adults, where nobody is injured, and they allow these people to propagate their hate speech is abhorrent.
That's the best damned idea I've heard in a very, very long time. A local station's evening 'news' broadcast in my area (A-Channel News Barrie) is one of the worst offenders - just abhorrent. I don't catch it very often, but when I do, I find something more to loathe about it, usually it involves a reporter hired more for their aesthetic appeal than their journalistic aptitude.
Last week, there was a police shooting of a man who was allegedly threatening the officers. The reporter said (I'm paraphrasing, but it was close), "Police have not yet released the name of the deceased. Neighbours say his name is... " and then revealed the man's name. I hope no uninformed relatives were watching.
In theory, you are correct. However, when you start working context and intended audience into the equation, things start looking less black and white. If, for example, you lapse into flowery dialectic gilded with temerarious antipathy for the grasping plebiate masses, you should be kicked in the dick. It is entirely possible, and entirely a-OK to understand words without using them. We're not devolving into the simple English Wikipedia out here in the real world - on the contrary, comprehension levels are better now than they've ever been, it's just that the proletariat never had the ability to publish - before now.
Certainly... But turning away ambulances? They don't even know if it's just a bone that needs setting, a cut that needs stitching, or a similar condition. Triage, people!
Well, quite frankly, (and I'm not taking sides here, because I think there is indeed some veracity to your broad generalisation of peace officers) I think that a lot of the fault lies with any person who steps out of their vehicle during a traffic stop. It's as much the duty of an immigrant to learn the customs and laws of their adoptive country as it is for the police officer to exercise judiciousness in executing their duties.
Having said that, I believe I did say, "Well-trained police officers," which would suggest officers who exercise said judiciousness. The 'high school bully' is not a well-trained police officer.
Run along now, D. Darko... I'm sure Asterix and Lil' Lulu are just aching to have your ink-stained sausages traverse their yellowed fishwrap once again. Go back to where you're most comfortable; where Archie and Jughead don't judge you. Where Nancy Drew won't reject you. Where arrested adolescence approximates adulthood. It's all going to be OK.

I cannot recommend this site enough. It's where I met your wife!
This is Spinal Tap is on IFC Canada RIGHT. NOW.
If that's not a sign, I don't know what is.
That's the quickest Godwin proof I've seen in a while.

No, no.... Look *UP*, stupid!
Didn't your mother ever teach you never to pass on an opportunity to alliterate?
Hey! I can *so* read.

The measure of a man is not always in his words.
Didn't your mother ever teach you to not use a $20 word where a $5 word will do? ;)
Oh, total groupware gang-bang, my friend.
I don't know... Have they?
I've been waiting for this news for years. Computers that perform fellatio? YES!
Imagine a beowulf cluster of those...

They have a way of checking: Well-trained police officers.
The government opens up the taps on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, as lights dim from Key West to Keokuk.
Urgghhh.... Lightning - one of my many weaknesses! How did you know!?!

I dunno... Coast Guard?
No! Furries didn't choose to be furries... They were born that way, and one day - soon, God willing - they will get the vote.
Solidarity, den mates! E Pikachu Unum!
I see what you did there...

It makes it especially difficult in this case, since we *are* better than the funnybook cranks.
Oh, no! Beta!
RTFA: They're not supporting them in this case. Let's have a war! Neeeee-haw!
ahem.... Sorry, not sure what came over me. Channeling Cheney, I think.
