No one's saying they are. What they
are saying is that sci-fi writers aren't angels, either. Yet apparently they are, solely to garner sympathy for his horrible plight that was completely unprovoked! He's a sci-fi writer, afterall! How can he possibly have escalated a simple stop-and-search security check?!? There's no way that could happen! It was clearly the officers's fault!
Despite the exceedingly rare exception, law enforcement personnel do
not go around harrassing, torturing, and beating people on a whim. Certainly not with witnesses around, and certainly not at a check point with countless
other witnesses around.
I mean, people are trying to make it sound like this author clown was some God damned saint above the law. That he was merely standing there being all intellectual and peaceful -- he's a writer, afterall; they keep shoving that down our throats for a reason. There's just no way he was taunting, yelling, threatening, or moving in an aggressive fashion. No sir. What, the cops were all "sir, let us check out your fucking vehicle NAOW!" and he was all "whysoever would you want to do that, kind sirs, I have nothing at all to hide and you're certainly welcome to c... gahh!!" at which point they then tasered him in the balls? Bullshit. I don't buy that at all.
And I'm sorry, friends and family trying to suck up to a moderately (at best) famous dumbshit are about as credible a witness as a street bum you pay $100 to testify on your behalf.
Oh, and in reply to another post, yes: It's ever so shocking that people on a message forum are using an alias. One would almost assume that's the norm, critical or not. Golly gee wilikers, I wonder why that is? Oh right. Clearly it's because they're moral cowards with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. There can't
possibly be any other reason.
