Uniform is not a stage prop to grand stand for the camera fella. Hard to imagine some grand discovery of 'no honor' once time is served that wasn't already suggested to going in prior...4 tours? Chances are and I'm willing to bet half the cops he's breaking off on have, are or will serve in a uniform of same stripe.

Stage prop or not, youre missing the point. Just listen to his words. There is no honor in police dressing as if they are getting ready for the Battle of the Bulge, batoning people who have the right constitutionally to assemble peacfeully and freely. Why do people always get lost in the minutia and the pedantry of trying to discredit someone like that marine who is making valid points? It seems to be the trend the past 10 years or so. Someone says clearly "A", and rather than discussing "A" the listener says "Yeah but look at who said 'A', therefore it cannot be valid." This is called faulty syllogistic reasoning and I beliebe you are guilty of it. Everyone on earth has some degree of hypocrisy. Therefore noone has the credibility to speak about an issue? Wrong way to think IMO.

exactly but some posters here thought it was cute and witty to talk about how he shouldnt use his military uniform to grandstand: typical missing the point type of people there for sure. And arent there just too many of them these days?

yes man, say it like it IS, rather than what people do these days, like what Dawson said at the Pascal presser : "Sit down with our tight pants". Or a poster a few posts up on this thread: "We cannot hear a word the marine is saying, because he is grandstanding with a uniform on." Yeah, now we know why those types couldnt make it through a rigorous academic environment. I'll tell ya, since graduating from university in 1990, and being out among the everyday people I'll call them, you really get to see how unsophisticated and unsound the majority of their statements and/or rebuttals are.

It IS FRIGHTENING, Scrap

Brockton, would you care to tell me why you feel serving in Iraq is in fact of greater merit than being a New york city cop, generally speaking? Both would be incredibly nasty ways to earn a living, and cater to the same type of person for the most part. The difference is cities desperately need police officers, noone had to go to Iraq and nothing good has come of it.

Police or Army protect the Cartel, sadly the Cartel are instigating a reason to get the Military to patrol the Streets, wait and see. Thats where it all could go wrong.

You can say my name Brock, speak up, just spell it right fella. Yes. It is grandstanding and he drowns out his own message a bit, yelling it the loudest and thumping your chest pointing at your ribbons makes it as much about him as it does his valid point. Question a mans honor on mass while obviously having been in very similar situations himself...for 14months as far as crowd control with civilians. No the situation in Iraq and downtown NY are absolutely nothing alike, one is an active war zone and well, one is downtown NY, take that for what its worth but I'd be willing to bet he's knocked a head or two in a direction he was told to march that he wishes he could take back. You get one person standing on a soap box stirring a crowd and it kicks off in a minute...the difference being yes this is the U.S and he had his say and 15 minutes where as in Iraq he very well might be hooded and zip tied. Cops get out of hand and this country as well as others has chapters of history littered with steel boots suppressing and in some cases permanently silencing people in the street. Its a travesty that should be highlighted and not tolerated. Likewise though not all cops and certainly not all soldiers are head crackers and body stacker's. A good portion of those cops he rails against put on a uniform just as he did and similarly may very well have been in Iraq.

I didnt see the cops do anything wrong in that video at all, but agreed that where you use armed force is when the enemy is armed not on streets in between shoppers.
