Bates and Court TV

**mranderson** · 04-06-2005, 05:55 PM

In case you are interested, Brian Bates will be on "The Investigators" at 7 tonight and again at 11pm, on Court TV.

Maybe they will show him for what he really is.

Watched it. They made him look pretty good -- especially where the Donald Pete issue was concerned -- and in that case, Bates was in the right place at the right time.

Yes. It made Bates look like a hero... Which he is not. I was hoping they would tell about his soon to be relocation to the state pen.

And Donald Peete? Bates should mind his own business. Things like that make our city look bad.

Yeah, cops should not be thugs.

It sounds like some people do not know the meaning of reasonable doubt. And do not belive in investigating the facts.

This discussion is not about Donald Peete. I only mentioned him because part of the program was about him. There is another thread to discuss Peete. Use it.

My pleasure. Just for the record. I do not "hate" people. With Bates, I loathe him. Can not stand him. Dislike him.
