Glad I could impress you.

Yes, "assertion". Do you need a synonym for that? Let's go with... "statement". That should be simple enough for you.

Yes, doing research is sooo embarrassing. What have I been doing?! I must look like a complete fool to be citing my assertions...

And yeah, totally NOT embarrassing to just say "NO U" to every comment I make. The irony.

You're really embarrassing yourself here...

Great comeback........ Wake up. The crooks are the cops.

Don't play this game. You are pretending to be objective and morally superior when so many cases exactly like this one have been proven to be police abuse. Sure, maybe in this one specific case, it's a frivolous lawsuit, but you're missing the forest for the trees. Police do this shit so often that it's statistically far more likely that it's all true. And in any case, public trust has been completely eroded by their own hand. They are wayyyyy beyond the "let's give them the benefit of the doubt" phase.

The brainwash is strong with this one...
