This. If ANYONE should be pissed off at the officers that are acting badly, it should be OTHER POLICE OFFICERS.
These "bad apples" should be shunned, ostracized, and outcast.
Instead they're (at least outwardly) covered for and helped out, and that is why the public is upset with police as a whole, because of this shielding behavior.
If you're the same AC I think you are (and I'm not sure, because you are, after all, an AC) you have no business calling people out for "jumping to be a jerk", as that seems to be your SOP.
There's a thing called "threaded view". If you click on it, you would see that my comment was directed to (an obviously less brain-damaged and a-holish) Anonymous Coward, not Mike.
But you either already knew that and it would get in your way of bashing any reasonable techdirt commentor (or Mike), or you're just too damned stupid to figure that out.
I, too had an "internet phone book" that I maintained for myself. To further show my age, I remember giving up on netscape and going back to lynx for a while because netscape was too slow for my taste.

Re: Directv
Apparently it isn't too much because, as you admit, you are paying it.
"...it's obscene what they charge for TV."
If it's obscene, QUIT PAYING THEM.
