"I am supporting no one other than the concept that people have rights based on our existing laws.  If those rights were violated, that is wrong and should be addressed.  Unlike you, I believe all people have these rights, not just people who i like".

I also believe people have rights based on our existing laws, but since this story broke 2 months ago, you and your far left buddies, without knowing the entire facts of this case, have tried and convicted the 2 police officers involved.  Aren't they afforded the same rights that you're always talking about?  From the totality of you past statements, I don't believe you think they are.

provide a specific example of someone who has "tried and convicted" the cops in question.

I know you don't believe that I think cops and politicians have the same rights as everyone else.  I'm not sure what I can do about that since I'm pretty clear on the fact that I believe everyone should be treated equally under the law.

What you may be confusing is my position that cops and politicians in albany are not treated the same as everyone else which is definitely something I believe.   Here is an example: If I pointed a loaded gun at a co-worker in the office I would be fired and most likely be in jail, meanwhile a cop did that and is still on the payroll.  It appears to someone like me that cops and politicians have more rights than everyone else.  I have a problem with that.  If I showed up to work drunk and blew over the limit, I wouldn't get an apology letter.  If I evaded taxes and bought an illegal machine gun and resold it, I would be in jail for ten years or so.  The police chief would not say that because i didn't know it was illegal, I couldn't be held accountable.

You get the idea.
