America's Children - real lippy?
Liz:
God bless America, land that I love!
Stand beside her, and guide her
Through the night with a light from above
From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home.
(I think)

Because they are annoying?
Think about this for a while before replying.

NO. I'm not serious. Anyone who would beat down a girl like THAT needs to get their head checked.
I keep forgetting my internet humor indicator is broken.
And no, when I say "face ruined" I don't mean literally. I mean it like the expression "Ruin your face/s**t/ass".
Sure, I wanted to slap a girl across the face when she made a racist joke against me, but I was shocked that the other cop didn't even TRY to restrain the guy.

i am making some assumptions here as i obviously don't know what was going through the cop's head when he assaulted this girl, but to be honest i think this has very little to do with violence towards women and a lot more to do with police officers' contempt towards teenagers in general. police do tend to hold more conservative views than the rest of the public, but they are usually more chauvinistic than anything (we need to protect the weak members of society, etc etc). however, a very common view shared among people working in law enforcement is that teenagers are disrespectful assholes who need harsher punishments and longer sentences and basically to learn to respect authority, for the reasons rallymonkey outlined. personally i would say age is the important factor here, not gender. again, i'm making some assumptions but my feeling is that if the victim had been male instead of female, i don't think the cop would have responded any differently.

I do wonder if the public would have responded differently. If he had beaten up a 15 year old boy, would the public at large be condemning him as much?
