[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a former prosecutor and this thread makes me laugh, but more in derision than humor.

It reminds me of all the experiences I had working in the legal system where middle and upper middle class white people argued endlessly to me - sometimes until I had to hang up the phone on them or close the door in their faces - about why the law shouldn’t apply to them or their precious snowflake child.

These same people would bray and bark if I didn’t enforce the law with all due haste and harshness on those poor white trash and brown people who were mucking up the neighborhood.

It’s the same old story, as old as our legal system.

How many of the people posting here in defense of this rich white golfer who injured a law enforcement officer have argued strenuously that all those black motorists the cops ended up shooting should have just done what they were told?

Sickening racism/classism going on in these comments.

By the way, I’m not a cop lover - especially not after having worked with them for years. Some are good, many not so much. Most of them would be the first to call me or come to my office looking for a pass for their kid’s drunken driving or whatever. My comment is not about cops, it’s about the rule of law - which so many Americans feel shouldn’t apply to them.[/quote]

Don’t be ridiculous. I think this could have been a different story if Scottie were black and that’s a terrible thing. But that he is white doesn’t make him any more guilty. You’re conflating issues. [/quote]
