The state of Connecticut is already in a POLICE STATE.
With incompetint, inept and dishonest Police like in EAST HAMPTON combined with prosecutors who go along with these Badge Heavy cops without checking out the facts before issuing arrest warrents and ruining the lives of innocent citizens believe me when I tell you that we are already in a Police State. It will eventually backfire on them.

If the police union goes on strike do you think we will have a police state?

It is a POLICE STATE. And you know what some police are racist. They don't care about latinos or blacks. They just throw them in jail and don't care about anything else. If you are a white person they will just give you a warning or a ticket of a dollar or two. I think that I will never be able to trust a police again.

Some 375 gang members have been arrested in 24 states and the District of Columbia over the past two weeks as part of a yearlong operation targeting gangs with criminal immigrant members, the Homeland Security Department said Friday.

Lets hope that Stamford is cleaned up as well.....this isnt a police state just police doing their job.

The police are the racists?

Just look at your own ignorant statement to find the real racist.
On the west side are the white kids shhoting each other up, NO.
When the witnesses report a 'black male' as the shooter should the cops go looking for a white guy?

Start using your brain before making those stupid, ill informed comments.

You disgust me, your way of thinking only keeps racism alive and well in this country.

Punish the CRIMINALS regardless of race.

You cant be a victim of the people and a accuser of the police. Dont stick up for petty criminals. Get an education, then a job, then a life. But first, take off your dark shades. You will change your outlook once victimized by a punk.

listened up people, i used to run the streets of stamford wild in my earlier years but spent a little time behind bars. and it opened my eyes, but in those days ive seen the most crooked acts from police officers. i seen officers plant drugs on innocent citisens because while searching them they found nothing, also i seen harrasments and flat out disrespect towards stamford tax payers. one time two old friends of mine were riding thier bikes when a cop pulled them over because they knew who they were and gave them tickets one of the guys got a ticket for riding in the street the other for ridind on the sidewalk just to be assholes and bust thier balls and even today i still get harrased because of my past but i dont mind because i get joy out of making them feel stupid once they find out that im legit now :)

The EAST HAMPTON police are an extremely understaffed yet dedicated group of police officers who put their lives on the line to protect the residents of this town. They do the best they can with their staffing and funding level. I have had a close working realtionship with them being a firefighter/EMT in East Hampton as well as a dispatcher at one point. Rethink your statement.

I do believe that they are racist cops. iv had a white person who worked on a board in Simsbury tell me that he teamed up to fire some cops on their force because of racist intentions. Every time black people where driving through the town they happened to get pulled over. I’ve heard friends tell me how they were mistreated by cops. Yes we aren’t perfect. There are many criminals but that still doesn’t mean we all should be picked out. Just like how not every cop is racist not every black or Latino is a criminal. And that’s truth. so yes these things are going on and Regardless if you are white or minority we must recognize the two sides. Whites must stop acting like things don’t go on in their community and that there is not racist and minority’s shouldn’t think that ever incident is because they are black. Every nation has their own problems and issues but the first step is to admit it.

listemn up racist do exist and is not going to exit anytime soon, I was once a CO for NYC and I must say that the way the white people would try and use the badge as a brotherly thing and try to get me to beat and break down my real brothers is truly crazy, I had to resign from the job becasue one I didnt want to go into the cells at night and beat anyone down and 2 I didnt like it when anyone called me a boy, once I left the job I went back to school and am now a counsleor for the black youth foundation, I must say that as an officer I was almost arrested because I was accused of driving a stolen vehicle but once they saw my badge I was let go, so i can relate to some not all but most

Nice piece of fiction, but the errors in spelling, grammar and syntax make it seem likely that none of it is true.

I left Connecticut when I was 29 and moved out here to Arkansas. I went back one time and remember looking at the headlines in the Newspaper. It was a huge murder scene. It was never like that when I was growing up. Im so glad I moved. I saw crime had risen to an unbearable level.
