Where is the humanity in these people?

from a parallel universe.
Nothing human or humane about them.

I would park it by the service gate, alert the token clerk especially if the gate was electronic, pay my fare through the turnstile, open the gate, and pull the bike through.

Don't the service gates have to be opened by someone in the toll booth nowadays? And what are you supposed to do with a stroller -- you can't push it through the turnstile!

does this story seem reasonable or believable as it is written here? I am all for calling out police officers for the rotten stuff that they do, but we do not need to sensationalize or fabricate what isn't true.

I cannot accept this story as it is written, and I would bet everything that it did not happen, or at least happen this way.

The court will decide.

If there is wrongdoing, then these police officers should get the punishment they deserve. The problem is that with many of these news organizations, finding the truth can be tricky.

Take, for example: http://www.ripoffreport.com/courthouse-news-serv/child-protective-services/pasadena-california-517d0.htm

Who knows if this is true or not.

reject the reported incident out of hand.

The source for the story is Courthouse News Service. The case has been filed in a Federal court. The Federal court rules, and particularly Rule 11, require attorneys filing lawsuits to first verify that the facts support their pleadings. Attorneys who fail to do so can be sanctioned heavily.

You have no factual basis for believing or suggesting that others believe that the event did not happen.

This story was written from the prospective of that plaintiff, with no evidence or corroboration that the story is accurate. In fact, the woman was arrested and arraigned, and the story also claims that the police officers are still harassing her. Does your common sense tell you that this is a truthful account of the story?

Besides, if you believe everything you read on the internet, the founder of Courthouse News Service was recently arrested for rape and fraud. do you also believe that is true as well?

Did you see video tape of police pepper spraying these kids, or are you making the assumption that since some police have pepper sprayed some people, that it must be true that these police officers pepper sprayed this woman and her kids?

And, if you think that attorneys follow rules and never exaggerate or fabricate, then I have another hard truth for you.

I get that you want to believe that cops are bad people. You will get that chance without abandoning your common sense.

Clever.

and kill children in their own homes, dogs, teenagers and adults, pepper-spray elderly people, the homeless, the infirm.

Whether or not this story is true, so long as we tolerate the brutality of the police, see OWS War Veterans eg and still no one held accountable, people will believe these stories, true or not, as many of them, far, far too many tragically, have been true.

I have no idea if this is true as reported here. And there was a time when I would have doubted it. But not any more. I've read too many cases of police brutality and the lack of accountability for it.


I watched the brutal attacks on peaceful, OWS protesters, including the elderly, disabled etc and am no longer shocked at all by what our civilian police do.
