    I’m literally not jumping to conclusions since I said it was “almost as likely” which means it isn’t even the most likely explanation.

    But you must admit it’s odd that the LASD is apparently the only police department in the country with gangs.

      While I will agree that words matter, so does intentions. For example, you open with,

      Or was he in a cop gang like the gangs that the L.A. Sheriff’s Department has and this was an initiation? …

      and close with,

      … If L.A. has cop gangs, why wouldn’t Atlanta?

      So at first glance it would look like saying “almost as likely” (which is sandwiched in the middle) is akin to scapegoating yourself in the same way people would use “I was just joking” or “it was a prank bro”.

      Any which way you look at it, your post suggests that if one city’s cops have a gang, then all city’s cops must have a gang. And without proof of that, you might as well be saying that they also eat our pets.

        Okay? Well what you think it suggests is not what I said.

        I can’t help it if you decide I didn’t say the thing I literally said. I meant what I said. I wasn’t trying to trick you.

            Squid already pointed out that sentence, and I was refuting it. It wouldn’t make sense to include it as it did not add any value to my side of the argument.
