  1. Therein lies the rub; two sides to every situation depending on the point of view.

     

    The difference being that LEO's can put a criminal in jail awaiting trial; while the criminal wants to stay free.

     

    410 justifiable homicides by LEO performing their duties as sworn police officers. 50 LEO's feloniously killed while performing their sworn duties. Of the two, only one is a crime. As per the justice system.

     

    I believe in a person's right to self-defense; just not while committing a crime. Doesn't matter who you are.

     

    Nope, I'm not a LEO. Although many of my friends/family are in the profession.

  2. I agree Z. Not saying it doesn't happen because it does. (police violence) I think military equipment used on US streets can be very terrorizing to EVERYONE. :)

     

    Far Right, Far Left suck. As does apathy.

     

    Just for arguments sake; FBI 2012 justifiable homicide LE: 410 Priv. Citizen 320 Criminal Homicides 6450 black, 5840 white. The justifiable was not broken down into race in the report I read. fyi

     

    As far as ferguson goes; way too much stupidity from numerous groups. From the feds down to the people on the street.

     

    Evidence showed to the Grand Jury let them determine that no charges against LEO Wilson would be brought. So the family thinks the LEO didn't get a punishment fit for his lethal actions but didn't say a thing about the actions of their son.

    And if I'm not mistaken the Feds did not having findings to bring charges against him either. So.........what do we do as a Nation?

  3. And to say black communities are terrorized by the police. Look at the statistics. More blacks kill blacks than the police ever have. Police try to go in and sort out the mess and deal with multiple volatile situations with all the persons of interest and bystanders.

     

    Blood and Crypts, drug dealers, pimps.. They are the ISIS.

  4. My wife and I spent our 15th anniversary there. Bed and Breakfast spot called Gracies' Secret garden. Fantastic cook.

     

    Lots of scenic tours from mountain biking, horseback riding to jeep tours. Lots of different art shows/ galleries. We took the jeep tour for free; just followed in our own jeep :).

     

    Many good restaurants.

  5.  

    If I'm not mistaken Cruz was the ranking member of that committee prior to this appointment. Why all the upheaval now.

     

    Maybe we should have the muslim senator from IN. monitor Cruz instead of being placed in the Intelligence and Aviation committees. :)

     

    Extremists on both sides of an issue can be very dangerous or impotent. But both are easily identifiable.

     

    We've posted in this forum several times about the ineptitude of the Committee of Science, Space, and Technology

     

    My mistake. I don't peruse all the threads in the P&S forums.
