RateMyCop.com: “It exposes us”

Oh no! A site that rates cops, that’s unconstitutional somehow, right? I mean, we don’t want to endanger PUBLIC officials or anything. no, no, no. Cops should be on a higher plateau than criminals and pedophiles because every single cops is clean. Ain’t that right, Rodney King?

This site helps rate more than 130,000 cops based on authority, fairness, and satisfaction. The names of police officers are in the public domain, so there is nothing legally wrong about the site. Police associations are seeking legal injunctions to shut down the site because police officers rated face “unfair maligning without an opportunity to defend themselves.”  Cops from the Police Link – a social community for law-enforcement agents – were in uproar over this website. One cop identified as Wgipson1073 (for “protection”, right?) says “Looks like a shopping center for cop killers to me. Pick a name that sounds good then go pick off the officer. That site is nothing more than a disaster waiting to happen.”

Constitutional attorney and former San Francisco Police Commissioner Peter Keane said “any kind of publication is protected as long as it’s not publishing privileged information.”

Another Injustice: Bench-Warmers Against Homeless

Strategically placed “community activists” in San Diego’s finer district will sit on their asses to help keep those godforsaken nomads off their streets. Revered by her local community for getting donations for public benches (what a feat!), Esther Viti is now overseeing a public effort to keep homeless people from making those comfy benches (with 2 bed, 1 bath) their own homes. She sent out emails to community activists asking for donations of time to “sit in three-hour shifts” without pee breaks. c’mon lady, a man’s gotta pee. and better it be on a homeless man, oh wait! I think you’ve got that covered. “After all, you MUST OCCUPY THAT BENCH continually for three hours to prevent that homeless person from sitting on that bench,” the e-mail said. Other efforts to keep homeless off benches didn’t work – even metal dividers didn’t stop them from sleeping all over the place. Go Home, Transients! In 2006 an estimated 9,600 homeless roamed the streets of San Diego. Why won’t they just get real jobs and not live off the government. lazy, right, Ms. Esther “Fuck the Poor” Viti?
