Not quite the coward, but certainly dishonest.

Looks like we have another coward. Although this one was actually willing to engage, if against a fantasy that had little resemblance to my posts. He even left up most of the exchange, only deleting the following pair:

Will you kindly READ WHAT I WROTE! Stop pretending that I am talking about specific incidents instead of general trends.
The only specific incident I even mentioned, (Peter Watts being assaulted by US border guards then arrested for it), was an illustrative example used as an 'oh wait, this is how far you have to go'.
Perhaps you should spend a little time researching these issues. In many places reporting police abuses does no good because you are reporting the police to the police, (hence my suggestion of getting something like the SIU created). Abusive officers in the US generally don't face any consequences at all unless there is something like video evidence proving that their version of events is a fabrication, (and even then the 'consequences' are often no more than their trumped up charge being thrown out).
Here's some to get you started:

Officer flat out lies on her report to frame someone with attempted murder of a police officer, (after having intentionally rammed the guy's van into another police car), video evidence proves it to be a lie, no punishment.
http://freethoughtblogs.com/dispatc.....for-brutality/
Nothing happened until the video went public.

Here's something that starts with an officer getting physical with a videographer and continues with harassment of people reporting on it.

How many times did they need to search his asshole?
http://freethoughtblogs.com/dispatc.....-police-abuse/
Slammed her face-first into a concrete bench, on video, no charges or discipline.
Those are from one page of results from one search, (for 'police report'), on one blog that covers these issues from time to time.

Just realized I should add this: If what you want to say is "you can only have an opinion on or knowledge of an issue through personal, direct, experience," then just say it so that you can be responded to in an appropriate fashion.

I'll drop the rest of it here if he deletes it.
