Any pickup, Any truck at all…. and I lived in or near LA…..Any color, any make, any model, any age….

I think I’d park it right now, in order to keep the LA law enforcement community from mistaking it for one driven (Or, more likely abandoned by now) by Christopher Dorner, the fugitive.

Seems that the cops in the greater Los Angeles area can’t determine color, make or model of a truck. Can’t determine the size or race of the driver. Luckily for one pickup driver, David Perdue, they can’t hit anything that they shoot at either. I figure he is, thanks to the Torrance cops, set for life(after the lawsuit).

  
     David Perdue was on his way to sneak in some surfing before work
Thursday morning when          police flagged him down. They asked who he was and
where he was headed, then sent him on his way.

Seconds later, Perdue’s attorney said, a Torrance police cruiser
slammed into his pickup and officers opened fire; none of the bullets
struck Perdue.

His pickup, police later explained, matched the description of the one belonging to Christopher Jordan Dorner
— the ex-cop who has evaded authorities after allegedly killing three
and wounding two more. But the pickups were different makes and colors.
And Perdue looks nothing like Dorner: He’s several inches shorter and
about a hundred pounds lighter. And Perdue is white; Dorner is black.

“I don’t want to use the word buffoonery
but it really is unbridled police lawlessness,” said Robert Sheahen,
Perdue’s attorney. “These people need training and they need restraint.”

The incident involving Perdue was the second time police looking for the fugitive former LAPD officer opened fire on someone else. The shootings have raised concerns that the fear Dorner has instilled has added another layer of danger.

Seriously. This is scary. I realize that the man is a danger to police…I realize that he is a dangerous individual. That he has a mission, and has killed or wounded several people, all police officers or related to the police department.

But is there any excuse for this behavior? Any excuse for endangering the lives of the citizens that the police are sworn to “serve and protect?

Rule one: “Know your target and what is beyond it”…..Fail.

If you, or I, or any group of gun people were to handle their firearms in such an unsafe manner, we’d be disarmed, jailed, and punished…. and rightfully so. Are the cops disarmed? Jailed?

Chris Dorner must have them TERRIFIED. Scared shitless. Absolutely quaking in their jackboots.

But their behavior is inexcusable. Period. Shooting at a white guy because he is in a pickup of a different make and model when they are looking for a black guy in another pickup of a different type is just plain crazy. Apparently, the cops are a greater danger to the public than the fugitive they are seeking.

These incidents show, however, the mentality that the police in larger cities have.  THey really aren’t worried about the safety of anyone but their own.

And that should frighten and anger you.

Plan accordigly.

The lovely Ms. X points out that the media hides the fact that some of our whacko spree killers are not so terribly conservative after all, and some are, actually, really left wing supporters.

A bit of research will show that this IS TRUE.  Additionally, the media goes to great lengths to hide the fact that they too have their share of violent psychotic killers. (In fact, were we to bother to accumulate statistics, I believe that they would have a significantly higher percentage of such people).

But the media and the left (but I repeat myself) go to great lengths to conflate spree killers of any kind woith conservatives and (specially) the Tea Party.

Sadly, many people believe whatever the “Nightly Newz” tells them, never questioning, and therefore forms an opinion without any (actual) knowledge with which to do so.

Rob Allen has it NAILED

Because theya re the “Only Ones” with the proper training.

Right.

Tell that to these women:

Women delivering newspapers in Torrance shot in manhunt for ex-cop

Two women who were shot by Los Angeles police in Torrance early
Thursday during a massive manhunt for an ex-LAPD officer were delivering
newspapers, sources said.
The women, shot in the 19500 block of Redbeam Avenue, were taken to area hospitals, Torrance police Lt. Devin Chase said. They were not identified. One was shot in the hand and the other in the back, according to Jesse Escochea, who captured video of the victims being treated.

If this were you, or me, or any other concealed carry permit owner, the hue and cry would be loud, hysterical, and strident. The calls for repeal of CCL permits would be growing.

And you and I would be in jail.

But not so the Police.

Why is that?

It occurs to me that if the Post Office didn’t give such deep discounts to the Junk Mail senders, but rather forced them to pay closer to (like circa 70% of) the cost that the rest of us do, then we’d not have the issues either.

Of course, if they decreased Junk Mail, then I’d have issues keeping my woodstove fed, as USPS delivered junk mail paper is about 25% of our heat source for the year.

Since the U.S. Post Office is gonna cut approximately 17 % of it’s service, are we gonna see a 17% reduction in labor costs? Are all those folks gonna get their Benefits cut by 17% too?

I mean, I am getting only 5/6 of what I was getting last week. Since the service is less, shouldn’t those people who work (and get paid a LOT for what is, essentially, what would be classified as an unskilled job) get a reduction to 5/6 of their retirement and 5/6 of their insurance benefits too?

Look: somehow the USPS cannot stop hemorrhaging money. It may well be the failure of management, or it may be the workers, or a combination of both. I really don’t care. If they can’t figure out how to do it at a reasonable cost and make it at least break even, then perhaps the lot of them, managers and workers, should be tossed and people found who CAN work in a productive manner. I have never seen a postal worker with any sense of hustle. Never seen one run (unless being chased by a large dog) never seen one appear to be hurrying. Ever.

But seriously, since the consumer (that BTW, is you and me and every other resident, business etc in the US) is getting 17% less service, then are the workers and management getting 5/6 of the pay and benefits? I mean, starting at the Postmaster General and working down.

Bet not.

If not, then WHY NOT?

Dude says what most of you are thinking.

We need more of this. This needs to be spread wide.

The Media is shaping the message, the testimony and the attitude of the public. WHile for many, the media will not change their beliefs (for or against), there are many who will not bother to learn, but who will lap up the message that the Media gives them.

Spread the message. Email your friends who are on the fence. Show them the “Rest of the Story”.

Then here is how to get $50K. Free

Seriously. I think that I may have 6 or 8 deceased relatives (aunts, mostly) who had this issue.

Does anyone know if there is a game camera that can be programmed with, or that has, FIFO capability?

Night vision would be even better.

Punishing the rest of the gun owners because of what some left leaning psychotropic drug taking criminal does….

Just like the freedom of speech, the right to bear arms has always been subject to reasonable restrictions by Congress. I believe Congress has a responsibility to balance the right-to-bear-arms with the concern for public safety and stability.

 “I believe in tolerance and unity and that every man and woman should be treated as equals. However, since the number of crimes committed by blacks are higher than any other race, I believe Congress has a responsibility to balance the rights of African Americans  with the concern for public safety”.

One is as logical as the other.
