re: #289 Aceofwhat?

It means “to make use of unfairly for one’s own advantage”.

Whereas I am simply declining to view those who fight with the police as having honorable intentions, be they random sodden idiots stumbling out of a bar or purportedly concerned citizens massing in a metropolis.

So - thanks for the definition. So my usage was very precisse.

Here’s my take.

(1) You are assuming the injured cops had honorable intentions.
(2) You are unconcerned about unjustified injuries to any OWS protestors.
(3) You have an anti-OWS agenda, and feel that injured cops “vindicates” your perspective.

Now I could be generalizing a bit - but earlier today it was explained to us that if someone puts themselves in a position to get injured, whether they were doing something directly that resulted in their injury, it is to be expected. It’s the risk they take, and thus unconcerning.

Look - I’m not saying that you’re glad that cops got injured. I’ll leave such ridiculous arguments for the hippie-obsessed.

I’m saying that you’re more than happy to exploit the injuries to cops for partisan purposes.

No different than those who have exploited anything negative they could find about OWS for partisan purposes.

No different than what happened with the Tea Partiers, btw.
