[QUOTE=catbarf;43494329]Remember when some kid [URL="http://dailycaller.com/2013/06/27/texas-teen-makes-violent-joke-during-video-game-is-jailed-for-months/"]joked[/URL] about shooting up his school, got arrested for it, and most people here were defending him because clearly it wasn't serious? Funny how much the sentiment changes when it's a police officer making the joke.[/QUOTE] Thats because police should be held to higher standards than a kid playing video games on the internet. [editline]10th January 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;43494505] Don't ever try and tell me that you've never once laughed or even giggled at a dead baby joke or a holocaust joke.[/QUOTE] Yeah sure when I was 14.
[QUOTE=TheDecryptor;43494554]Uh, yeah? I'd consider the president joking about bombing a country to be different to a taxi driver joking about it, etc.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_begin_bombing_in_five_minutes"]Did Reagan get sent to jail? [/URL] Or 'paid suspension'? After all, it was the President of the United States joking about actually starting World War 3. That's some heavy shit right there. I mean, by your standards he should have been impeached. Except that it was just a joke. Black humor, not a serious threat and not something to start a witch hunt over.
[QUOTE=Sector 7;43491220]I make jokes about doing bad things sometimes, and you all do too[/QUOTE] yeah, but not about murder, come on bro.
[QUOTE=RosettaStoned;43494577]Thats because police should be held to higher standards than a kid playing video games on the internet. [/quote] They made a joke. It wasn't a racist joke, an ethnic joke, or a sexist one. All they did was joke about ways they could have killed a terrorist and gotten away with it. Just a piece of crude humor. They didn't throw the guy under the rail way tracks and they weren't actually plotting doing so. Get off your high horse. [QUOTE=RosettaStoned;43494577] Yeah sure when I was 14.[/QUOTE] Then your statement wasn't 100% true was it? [QUOTE=Tmaxx;43494666]yeah, but not about murder, come on bro.[/QUOTE] No but the average gamer refers to dominating the enemy team as rape and murder on a daily basis, and I'm sure you've done so or do so. You guys seriously need to climb down from your high horses.
[QUOTE=catbarf;43494638][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_begin_bombing_in_five_minutes"]Did Reagan get sent to jail? [/URL][/QUOTE] no but it was still irresponsible as fuck it's okay to joke just be prepared for others to take it seriously if you can't handle that you shouldn't hold a position of power

I never said anything about the DA getting fired you've just made that part up. I think it was highly unprofessional, but I don't think he should be fired over it.

[QUOTE=hexpunK;43493477]Somehow can't see that working, you know, considering the whole house arrest thing? You can't expect someone to have 3 months of zero income that they can't do anything about due to being stuck at the beck and call of the investigators. Cops don't earn mad bank in the first place if I recall, so it's not like they're gonna have tons of money to cover bills and everyday life just sitting around.[/QUOTE] Cops in my town make 110k a year starting. Being a cop here would be so fucking sweet. Busting all the highschoolers sneaking off campus smoking the reefer. That's literally all they seem to do.

As someone who's gotten in trouble for opening their mouth in such a way, I don't believe these guys should be punished. They were indulging in some fucked up thoughts yes, but did the dude die? No. Did they cover up his death? No, they didn't. I agree its somewhat unprofessional of an ADA and a police officer to say such things, but no crime was committed here.
