Talk about getting butt-hurt. Who's a copper in your family?

That doesn't even make sense.

Oh, wait. It's a Chimney post.

If you're gonna be a cool guy and make fun of someone else, then I expect some through behind it. The word isn't spelled incorrectly and afaik it suits the context. So, taken that I'm illiterate, I ask of you to explain to me how the word didn't fit in there, grammatically.

Read the definition again. "Notorious" denotes a negative context, not a neutral or positive one. One cannot be "notorious" for saving lives, for instance. You are notoriously obtuse, though, so let me know if you need further explanation.

Ah. I understand. So, instead of giving a non-native English speaker this explanation from the beginning, you had to insult me?

Yes. You know more about English than you do about police in the US, too, btw.

I don't have any personal experience about the police in USA, was merely pointing out what the rest of the world thinks (and in this matter I'm not alone) from what the media, much too often American one, depicts. Many times it looks like policemen are abusing their status.

they got peppersprayed for nothing. they weren't even a threat...

Dumb idea, since, at best, you're contributing nothing and, at worst, are swaying the opinion of someone mistaking you for someone with relevant knowledge.

What is there to contribute? And what's the knowledge in this case? What was the reason for the attack?

appearently one of the women verbally attacked the officer who then sprayed the group with pepperspray and then walking away. mind you: this was a response to a VERBAL attack. they where already kettled with the nets and not posing any serious threat.
