You don’t actually know what Bernie would do about foreign policy because he has never had to perform in that arena. Totally untested. You want that in the White House right now, or you want someone who understands pretty much the entire world?

He has many times explained that if he didn’t support DADT, gay military members would have to go back to being released from service for their sexuality. Would you have preferred that?

It sounds a lot like you’re defending the bill that Bernie voted for.

He didn’t “defend” it. He explained it. An explanation much like beating the skeleton of a horse. But Berner, I mean, Gawker, hates Hillary so they glom onto any little thing.

She was safe. She’s not injured. That’s how it’s done in the real world and not the movies.

I really want to see a video of you handling this. Go ahead. Show us how it’s done.

Eh. he pretty much gave her a chance to go quietly, she fought back, so he in fact did physically force her to do what he wanted her to do. Them’s the breaks.

That’s probably why he did it, because he had about thirty kids to control and they needed to know right away that he wasn’t fucking around. You put me in a mob scenario like that with some little a-hole fighting me, and I’m going to kick ass first and put ice on your hurt feelings afterwards.

You aren’t even slightly curious about what led to the short series of events shown in the video?

Oh please. These kinds of videos conveniently only show the situation when the cop really has no other choice. They never start from the beginning, do they?

How exactly do you do that, if they just say “no” and don’t move? Hm?

I actually was a police officer so I can give you some insight on this, but I suspect you don’t really want to listen to stories from the other side.

Um, no, you don’t get how it works. There’s only so long you can stand there telling an offender, “hey, can you turn around and put your hands behind your back? Please? Pretty please? Oh come on, please do it. Would you just go ahead and do it?”

How do you know he didn’t, from this ten second video that starts in the middle of the altercation?

What are you going to do when your middle school student comes at you with a weapon or just with fists? Handle it “like a teacher”? Kids are such violent little assholes sometimes that cops need to handle it the way they handle it and that’s just the way it goes.

I don’t have much of an opinion but I’d like to see some of the commenters here be cops for a while, then come back and discuss these videos.

“As a parent, who has had to defend many non-traditional parenting choices”

...but they are, according to pretty much every parent out there. “Don’t discipline my kid!” “Don’t teach my kid anything I don’t want them taught!” “Don’t even TALK to my precious little perfect angel!” I’m done with it, starve your kid, treat them with air infusions for cancer, I don’t give a shit anymore.

But the ingredients you say helped your symptoms were not homeopathic by definition. They were actual active ingredients. Homeopathic remedies quite literally have almost nothing in them that’s active.

Who cares how they “see themselves?” They’re wrong.
