The L.A.P.D. has a long history of alleged racism and corruption, not the least of which was brought to light during the O.J. Simpson trial, which is the entire reason he was found not guilty.
I have read your whole post, and gave a brief glace at the article you posted, and I have to say that it tells me cops seem to be crazy psychos that do horrible things to people, just like Asians all take guns to school and shoot their class mates. And yes, let us keep in mind how very unprejudice the Southern part of the US is.
Ferris is very correct. Hollywood portraying cops like this is a very bad thing. I am sure he agrees that cops do bad things, it is just typically Hollywood for them to portray them that way. It would be a lot like them portraying Asians as psychos. Wouldn't be a good thing, even if one is a phycho from time to time. The fact is the VAST majority of cops are good people. What I really found ironic is that you tell a guy who deals with guys who stick their dicks inside the disembodied necks of little girls and say that he live in a candy coated fantasy land.
Let's clarify the candy coated fairlyland comment that ferris blindly made.

Yeah, I saw that film, pretty good story telling, but extremely inaccurate as far as Law Enforcement goes.

Number one, I would never consider it, and two, let's not forget about the continued persecution of cops we have come to accept. I mean, can you think of any other job where your every word, movement, and decision will be videotaped, recorded, and documented and then second guessed for years to come? I have been around cops my whole life, and I have yet to hear a single one point race out as a single factor in anything. It is extreme prejudice of the media against police and it is now believed to be fact. Terrible, terrible, assumptions.

Hmm, can't seem to find the part where he blindly says this sort of thing never happens...

Anchorhead, you probably would like those Han Solo books, they are 100% pre-ESB. I have them all (in their pre-ESB publication, lacking the name SW and all), I bet they are as easy to find as SOTME. Now I am wanting to dig out all my BU books and start reading.
Now pulling away from the topic again, corellian, if you do a search online for original Lord of the Rings artwork there is some really fantastic stuff. Alan Lee is my favorite. Anyway, maybe some of that artwork will help purge the movie imagery from you mind and help you to develop your own personal image of everything. I am at the moment eagerly awaiting Children of Hurin (a newly published work of Tolkien's) to come in the mail, I can't wait to read it. Don't worry about having seen the LOTR movies before reading the book. It does spoil a lot, but there are still plenty of surprises waiting for you. My absolute favorite bit of narrative from the whole work is the second to last chapter of the six book. I pick up my leather bound copy and read just that chapter alone sometimes. If you really thought the Appendices to LOTR were amazing, I bet you would really enjoy the Silmarillion or perhaps even some of the collections of fragmented bigs of manuscripts that have been published as The History of Middle Earth in 12 volumes.
Uh, now back to our regularly scheduled topic...

People are too lazy to find out the facts for themselves even when they have endless possibilities to do so. It is just a lot easier to read another man's abridgment than to read the real novel and find out what the author really wrote. Actually, screw the abridgment! Cliffs note's work fine. Or better yet, save some money on cliff's notes and read somebody's blog about instead. That is about the way it works these days, we do it to literature, we do it to news.

The answer is simple: You don't. As a result there were many kids walking around making out with miniture Jar Jar heads back in 1999. If you pull on that little knob on the back he retracts his tongue and closes his mouth, you push it in and he opens his mouth and sticks out is tongue. It was so wrong on so many levels. Had to have been about the worst marketing idea in the history of movies.

I know the scenarios quite well. The initial loss of life really wont be all that much compared to what would be to come. Depending on the distance from the detonation, the fallout wont be an immediate problem either (at least for a few hours), their will be plenty of time to take shelter, though unfortunately there are no shelters unless you are a member of your local nuclear survivors group (they are everywhere, but they try not to make themselves too publically known) or you bothered to construct one yourself. Good news about it is, that when and if this does happen, we wont really be worrying too much about the bees anymore. Not for a while anyway.

"Hey man...don't hate it when you like... turn to the darkside to keep your wife from dying... then... you like... choke her to death and stuff... it totally blows man... "
"Yeah... so I was talking to my son the other day and he was like "Yo, dad, there's still good in you." And I was all like, "Pfft, no way little man, you don't know what you're talkin about" and he was like all "No way dad, you're still good inside, I know it." And I was all like "Wait, wait, let me get this straight, you have a sister? You have a twin sister and you're mom like never told me?" then Palps man was all like "Now you're gonna die little Skywalker dude!" and I was like "Pyah! We'll see about that!" and he was all like "AHHHHHH" and I was all like "oOOOH" then he was like "AHaAaAaAaAaA" and I was like "Gaaaah" It was pretty far out..."

Whoa! Having not a clue what POTC, DMA, AWE are I didn't get much out of that last post. But I did get that AWE is more like POTC than DMC was.
