The next time we see a mini blue police car patrolling for undocumented gringos en el centro, we should get a group of ten to fifteen guys and just surround the car and shake the sh*t out of it like on the movie "Police Academy".

That'll teach the cops to not phuck with us anymore.

"We're not gonna take, no we ain't gonna take it, we're not gonna take it anymore!"

I think you missed the fact that that was the only part of your multi paragraph rant I had a problem with, that's why I addressed it Got nothing against the rest of what you said, so I have nothing to say. There's no way I'm going to go point for point with you on several pages of text on a topic I don't even care about.

I just read, and if I see a point I have a problem with, I address it. That'd be why I only quoted the specific sentence in question



I think you misunderstand my role in this completely... I'm just an eavesdropper at the next table shouting my 2 cents out of context

I know I said I that would be my "last attempt to try and clarify what I've been trying to say or in trying to defend myself on the matter." However, you're raising an entirely new matter here beyond the original issues of TMG, cops and passports, that being how or why I'm defending myself. So I'll rise to the bait, make an exception to my previous vow while trying to keep my uninformed, unrealistic multi-paragraph rant short enough for you. And then I'll return underneath my rock.

Unlike you, because your post was so much shorter, I didn't have to selectively quote you. So there is no danger of my taking you out of context and I couldn't have missed any "facts". You clearly said that "ALL" I could do was criticize him on that one point. And that suggests to me that the ONLY reason that was the "ONLY" part of my "rant" that you had a problem with was because in your view I wasn't writing about anything else. In other words, you didn't selectively quote because you didn't have a problem with other parts of my posts. You selectively quoted because, in your view, the entire post was all about just that one same narrow issue.

Furthermore, ALL that YOU were doing was criticizing ME for finding some faults with TMG. I did use the "idiot" word when referring to guys who walk around the Gulch at 2AM with $200 in their wallets. Mea Culpa. But in all other respects, my "critiques" were offered in a constructive way and I was civil and conciliatory, acknowledging his difficult situation after being coerced into the car and driven to a bad neighborhood AND offering my sympathies for that. You on the other hand are throwing out adjectives like unrealistic, uninformed rants and weren't even acknowledging that there was more to what I was saying. If I am flaming here as some people have suggested then what are you doing as well?

Was that brief enough for you? Okay, I'll crawl back under my rock now.

I agree. This is very phucked up. The added problem is - this is not an isolated case. It happens every so often, which is why I would love to see the victims contact the press. This is the only way to slap them back. Complaining to the police department or the government will do absolutely no good. The US embassy publicly claims they won't help out.

My incident happened in Panama - and I was flying home the next day, so I really couldn't do much. I would love to see the reporters talking about this on Channel 6 or 7 and I'm certain they WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT IT.

If you want, send me a PM, I have a business card for a reporter at Channel 6. He was doing a story on my street and did a quick interview.

I don't think what either of us has been doing can be called flaming. You just need to calm down with the 9 paragraph responses every time someone addresses you...

Chi_trekker, can you elaborate on this?

All the more reason to shut these ba*tards down! I'll bet that the longer that they get away with it the more likely it will be to recurr more often.

When is the next ratings period for CR television? Instead of following an army of police raiding an MP for wheelchair access problems, I'll bet that they would reall like to sink their teeth into police kidnapping of tourists!

Ok, new idea. How about a protest march..T-shirts,signs and all. You want media attention. How about a protest march between the Del Rey and Policia Headquarters. A bunch of old fat gringos marching in protest of policia harassment, is bound to draw a camera or 2.
