You can trust the police

Sure you can.

They are always honest.

They NEVER conspire together.

They never mistreat potential wrongdoers.

They NEVER falsify reports.

And police NEVER, EVER back each other up even when they know another officer is doing wrong or illegal or immoral things.

That would NEVER HAPPEN.

Me, I’d like to see officers be equipped with a shoulder or helmet mounted video camera that they cannot disable.

If they disable/”break” the camera, no charges can be filed. If they happen to have the camera “break” often, they should be dismissed.

No video, no prosecution.

I bet that a LOT of police officers find other occupations.

I be that the rest would be better behaved.

AND we’d have a lot better and more honest police force….Like we once had.

And “Policeman” would again be an honorable profession…instead of what it is today.

Yup

“Quotations found on the internet may not be wholly accurate”

“as several residents watched in horror”.

St. Louis Today reports a middle school football coach was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder in the death of a 10-year-old girl who was snatched off a street just blocks from her home in southwestern Missouri as several residents watched in horror.”




Did any of them get into a car and follow the abductor while calling police and telling them exactly where he was?? I’ve done that with Drunk drivers who did property damage…followed them and helped the police nail them. ANd sometimes I had to run into the house and get my keys and start my car and actually go LOOK for the dude. But these folks “watched in horror”. Did they think to intervene in any way besides calling 911? 


“As several residents watched in horror”. Perhaps had they done more a little girl might be alive right now. 


We are, truly, a nation of sheep.

I’m not sure

Exactly what strategy the protesters are following in Ukraine….Facing men with modern fully automatic rifles and high powered “sniper” rifles with a few hunting shotguns and bricks and Molotov cocktails.

I fail to see what their ultimate goal is in occupying their Independence Square….I don’t see how this fixes their problems with their government.

Having said that, I gotta say that these folks, whoever they are, and whatever their motivations, have really big balls….guts as it were (there are a lot of women supporting the men on the protest lines).

It is really gutsy to not flee the area when the police decide to unlimber their rifles and choose to shoot into the crowd and target the protesters… When they shoulder those riot shotguns at 50 paces and YOU are looking into the bore of a 12 guage.

Will this happen here? Possibly.

But I think the battle lines might be a bit different. Here, while there might be protests, the police would shoot into a crowd exactly once.

Then they’d face similar rifles….likely identical except that they wouldn’t be select fire. And they’d find that there are a LOT of re-purposed deer and other hunting rifles (depends on what you are hunting, doesn’t it?) now employed from rooftops against the police/government forces.

I sincerely hope that such protests are never needed here, and I pray that if they do happen that they remain peaceful. ‘Cause if they go violent, then things will go very bad very quickly. Likely there won’t be enough police to hold, but the bloodshed will be massive.

On both sides.

No one will win a fight like that. let us hope that the liberals our government will never bring things to that point.

But our Second Amendment helps keep thing equal.

Remember that.

It’s really just plain foggy

Just plain damned foggy here.

Visibility sometimes measured in 10’s of feet. Or less.

D’ya think that people would turn their friggin’ lights on? Leave a little bit of space?

Lots didn’t.

I especially like the folks on the interstate who are driving 20 MPH in a dirty gray car with no lights….endangering themselves as well as others.

I actually didn’t see anyone driving too fast this time.

Of course, I expect at least one chain reaction pileup on the highways in rural areas this evening. I’d bet good money on it. 

facts are a bitch to face….

So in Barry’s world, $8,000 is the same as $3,000?

Seems that the new EPA mandated fuel economy will save each of us, on average, $8,000 a year in fuel costs.

Which will be great for us, as the average auto only costs us $3k per year in fuel costs right now….

Barry: You can either rebate my taxes to the tune of $5,000 or, if you prefer, use it to pay my insurance costs that have gone up due to Obamacare. Either will work for me.

Either he really has no clue as to what driving costs, or he is lying….or he thinks that we are all stupid, which is more likely.

I bet a lot of his supporters really believe that he is gonna save them by increasing the cost, and decreasing the performance, of their personal automobiles.

I’m wondering

How much Glowbal Warmenating Co2 is being emitted by the Olympic flame in Sochi?

And where the Climate Change folks are….One would think they would be protesting.
