With everything goin on today, I hate the cops on this show more. Thay fake azz Chuck Liddell shoulda been bodied :damn:

Kima is so entrenched in being a cop, it disgusting. How did Herc ever make it as far as he did? Probably the best representation of the police thats ever been on tv. Fukk ups, all of em :beli:

I live in Maryland and even tho the dem normally always wins in a presidential election I still can't abide not voting. Just can't. Too many of us died for that right to do it. I just watched Selma on Saturday so that further stamped it in my head that we always need to vote. The best way to get politicians on your side is through numbers. The constituents that vote are normally the ones who get their voices heard.

But with all that said, he was right about the conditions in Baltimore and other inner cities. But I'm still going to vote

I'm not saying you shouldn't vote but your vote means less depending on the situation. You said "constituents that vote are normally the ones who get their voices heard" but this never been the case. The bottom 70% of voters have virtually no influence on policy; as you go up the income ladder you get more and more influence until you get to the top, where you find the people who pretty much dictate policy(read: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/9836.html). This isn't the place for this discussion though so I'll drop the topic. If you're still interested we can continue in private.
