Unless I can find a use for all the fur my dogs generate and shed then no, nothing of value was found.

btw, Im not implying there is not a problem or all is well in the world. Just that in my neck of the woods nothing is going on that even comes close to what the headlines read.

Can you smoke it? :hmmm: :O:

Seriously, the media likes the hype and bad news is good news for them.

We need another House Un-American Activities Committee, but this time as a fourth branch of gov't with the power to bring any and ALL douchebags to trial for treason. :salute:

The last thing we need is more government.

We'll trade in the IRS, it's got low miles but it was always a lemon :03:

Maybe we can charge it with treason, after all collecting taxes has to be the most un-American activity I can think of. lol

I don't know about you but I keep my wallet in my back pocket. Like many men. If I'm asked for it I have to reach behind me. He did advise he was a permit holder and was armed. This is how I heard it went down. A mistake as made...by the officer IMO.

Lets not forget the politicians. Take for instance that old hag Hilliary Rodham Clinton chiming in shortly after the incident saying the white race needs to change. What a useless divisive old douche bag, IMO statements like that prove politicians are the ones dividing the country and have absolutley no intention to fix anything, they're in charge we gave them the power to fix things and all they do is stir the pot and blame citizens and play us like chumps. And of course lets not forget the fanboys from both sides of the spectrum who blindly continue the cheer, Long live the party, Go team! Which only serves to perpetuate the lunacy.

The last thing any leader should be doing is driving the wedge in deeper by accusing whole groups of people of wrong doing because of their ancestors, skin color or religious background.

I am concerned that often police use deadly force when they don't have to, but it's at that legal edge and this is a big concern for mentally that are mentally ill. Certainly many cops are *******s dealing with the public, but of course more in the public are *******s to the police.

However, I am not for the false narratives and accusations I often see by the public, activist groups, politicians over many of the shooting used to promote a cause. Aaron Sterling was no doubt a legal shooting. It's possible better training, different tactics may have given a different outcome, but that's playing hindsight and we know we need more.

A lot can be learned in the Sterling shooting. First, he was once again carrying an illegal gun, being he was a felon with numerous charges, assaults, domestic abuse, robberies of occupied dwelling, drugs, weapon charges, child sexual offender....and guess what....resisting arrest. So this started what went wrong. Then he pointed that gun at someone, another mistake on his part. This prompted the police there with probable cause. This was not Sterling's first rodeo, he knew why the cops were there and didn't want to get arrested for what he had just done or again get caught with an illegal weapon.
He didn't comply with the cops orders, was tasered, which failed, but still wouldn't comply.
He committed numerous more crimes this night which led to the shooting.

The next stage develops, after continued refusal to obey cops, a cop charges in. I wasn't there, but seems stupid....but it was legal for him to do so. If anything, the cop himself put himself in a position to get shot and escalate a shoot out where his partner couldn't help protect him. Certainly it's possible better tactics could've been used.

Next, Sterling is on the ground, two cops over him. I'm tired of this BS they had him restrained and down. Often cops are killed in this position, where they are hands on, even in more control, but subject is resisting, even minor, but often waiting for that moment to get a weapon or take the officers. Sterling was still resisting. The cops saw his gun and told him not to ****ing move, but he continued to resist.....why? All the video really shows is after the gun was spotted and they told him to move, the cop lost control of his hand and Sterling's arm went down to where his gun was and was shot. No doubt, just like M. Brown, this will be found a legal shooting.

I was very suspect of the P. Castile shooting, by the video it looked like a trigger happy cop. His calm girlfriend that went calmly live on video as he died, now her and her family collecting large amounts of money on gofundme sites only explained her view. One, we know they were stopped for suspect of armed robbery. She said he had a license to carry, he did not, so again his gun was illegal. She said he reached for his ID, but in the video after he was shot, why was his gun laying on his lap..... Something is not adding up here either, so we need more info. Another possible scenario, maybe he did that armed robbery and figured that's what he was being stopped for and he intended to kill the cop and try to escape.....doubtful, but possible.

edit, lol, didn't know it caught the word we use for butthole....

Oddly, Al Sharpton has not said much. With exception that the 2nd Admendment is for white people only. No word of marching and protest that will headed up by Mr. Sharpton. With the exception of protest in NY that appear to be a weekly thing. Is it that Mr. Sharpton is distancing himself from Black Live Matter as a result of the 5 policemen shot at the protests in TX?

That's the way to go :yeah:.

This is not America :nope:

Back in the day when I had a real job and I was an armed officer of the Customs. Thanks to such broad scope of 14USC89 we wielded an incredible amount of power over anyone within the boundaries of this country. However, we were continually reminded of and took it to heart what that "bastard son of a scotch peddler" wrote in a letter to his captains and crews of the Revenue Cutter Service in 1790.

... While I recommend in the strongest terms to the respective officers, activity, vigilance and firmness, I feel no less solicitude, that their deportment may be marked with prudence, moderation and good temper. Upon these last qualities, not less that the former, must depend

They will always keep in mind that their countrymen are freemen, and, as such, are impatient of everything that bears the least mark of a domineering spirit. They will, therefore, refrain, with the most guarded circumspection, from whatever has the semblance of haughtiness, rudeness, or insult. If obstacles occur, they will remember that they are under the particular protection of the laws and that they can meet with nothing disagreeable in the execution of their duty which these will not severely reprehend. This reflection, and a regard to the good of the service, will prevent, at all times a spirit of irritation or resentment. They will endeavor to overcome difficulties, if any are experienced, by a cool and temperate perseverance in their duty--by address and moderation, rather than by vehemence or violence. The former style of conduct will recommend them to the particular approbation of the President of the United States, while the reverse of it--even a single instance of outrage or intemperate or improper treatment of any person with whom they have anything to do, in the course of their duty, will meet with his pointed displeasure, and will be attended with correspondent consequences.

The foregoing observations are not dictated by any doubt of the prudence of any of those to whom they are addressed. These have been selected with so careful an attention to character, as to afford the strongest assurance, that their conduct will be that of good officers and good citizens. But, in an affair so delicate and important, it has been judged most advisable to listen to the suggestions of caution rather than of confidence, and to put all concerned on their guard against those sallies to which even good and prudent men are occasionally subject. It is not doubted that the instructions will be received as it ought to be, and will have its due effect. And that all may be apprized [sic] of what is expected you will communicate this part of your orders, particularly, to all your officers, and you will inculcate upon your men a correspondent disposition...

I am sir, your obedient servant,
ALEXANDER HAMILTON,
Secretary of the Treasury

I wonder what law enforecement officers are taught today?

Anyway, even we had a few bad apples and issues no matter how many times we quoted Alexander Hamilton. But even so, guns werent ablazing then and they still aren't now. Thanks, I think, in part to strong leadership good training and the other idea drilled into our heads that 99.9 percent of the people we encountered were decent law abiding citizens.

meh, I'd be surprised if any Bahamians had the money to come to the U.S. Though I did see their Maritime Defense Forces over here a lot loading their boats up with home appliances from Home Depot to take back to the islands. Only civilian Bahamians I ever saw coming to the U.S. were poachers or those tafficking humans or narcotics.

What we need now is a good hurricane to replace the turmoil and get on with our everyday life.

Conservative leaning non profits everywhere would rejoice! :)
