Its like duck tape. Everyone thinks they are being clever correcting me, calling it duct tape. They are wrong. Before I became a mechanic, I did HVAC, and no one uses duct tape on ducts. But duck tape is a brand of the cloth tape we love to use on everything else. For ducts, we have sealants and foil tape. Duck tape was invented in ww2 for the military.

except in this case, you were wrong.

How would duct vs duck tape be anything like what you made a mistake on?

You're saying originally it was supposed to be "nip it in the butt?"

Yes. Makes more sense.

Indeed. "Butt" was never part of the saying in ANY context.

Just man up guy.... you made a grammatical mistake. It's ok - that one is super common.

No it doesn't. Not at all. "Nip it in the bud" refers to cutting it off before it grows. THAT makes perfect sense.


Anyway, I am not suggesting there is not a problem. Nor am I siding with those cops who practice questionable tactics. I fully support an overhaul, more accountability on their part, and less of a double standard that we seem to see a lot of.

With that said, I feel like there is this enormous anti-cop movement right now... both in our city and especially in the United States. While I appreciate the reasoning behind some of these beliefs, I think that simply bitching about it with embellished negative statistics is doing nothing to both solve the problem as well as aid the GOOD cops in doing their jobs.

Want change? Take action together. Don't bitch about it on a forum and then sit back and expect someone else to take care of it for you. Put up a web site demanding change. Protest outside a precinct. Write to officials. CPS is accountable to the citizens of this city, and if the citizens make a big enough public stink about demanding an overhaul, then it will happen.

It is like any relationship of any sort. You can hold it inside, let it fester and get angry about it (which is basically what is happening here), or you can get it out there and work at making it better. All the former is going to accomplish is creating hatred towards all cops - good or bad, and the "system" in general.

The least people can do is write their city councillor... but lets be honest cps isnt doing anything to help their cause. Every week theres a new ridiculous issue popping up.

This post is a perfect example of continued issues. The fact people only hear about it through foip requests should frighten people.

This is the same level of logic you employed in the weed thread, right?

You don't nip in a bud ask any gardener.

But let's get back to the importance here. Special treatment and lack of accountability for people in power.

See what happens when education and policing is all mediocore?

Nope, I think it's healthy for you to admit you're wrong. Even about something so stupid.

Nip in the bud comes from horticulture, where trimming a bud from a plant prevents the bud from becoming a flower or fruit. Used metaphorically, the phrase usually means to stop a potential problem before it develops

...add in someone who doesn't realize that trying so hard to save face is just making himself look worse, and you really have the perfect storm....

Now I'm confused... Is this regarding CPS, or Gestalt?

Oh, I thought this thread had been transformed into a Grammer Police thread as opposed to an actual thread about the police.

Carry on, all....

It's not even grammar. It's trendy sayings infarctions.

But a derail by those that don't want to talk about how wrong the concept the OP was posting about is.

It's kind of a parallel because, much like CPS, you are being shown the error of your ways again but just making excuses instead of accepting it and growing as an entity.

Such a need to be right about nothing of meening.

Is this another mangled catch phrase, or does it just simply not make any sense?

Meaning?

That assessment kind of sounds like you in the weed thread.
