I'd suggest backing off a bit on Zach. Disagreeing with him is one thing, disparaging is another.
That said, my "for goodness sake, please articulate your point better" point from the other day still stands.
I mean as long as he's going to mindlessly defend anyone with a badge or a uniform I am going to continue to call him out when he does so.
In this very thread, Even after he's shown he's wrong (the police did not perform cpr,) he just shifts the goal posts and kept the same opinion. Sticks to "everything by the books," even though the story changed. In another thread he was simultaneously arguing that the IC doesn't release rumors, while arguing that what they released was just a rumor. He was also arguing that it was just one person, while also arguing that it was a decision that had been made by the organization. Again, contradictory statements, but he remains consistent that they can do no wrong.
He just floats around between different "facts," but keeps the same opinions regardless.
That's going to get you called out. If he doesn't want to be called out, he has the option to try to make better arguments, or maybe just once admit that an officer can be wrong.
But I will refrain from just talking down on him without adding to the discussion from here out.
