I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Lets keep our active duty LEs in our prayers, people.
want a race war in America? You damn well better be careful what you wish for because the silent majority is not going to tolerate much more of your crap.
RN is now sitting on a nice padded carpet, legs folded, soothing music playing in the background, eyes closed, repeating woo saa!
This is all revolting.Well, we all have to decide where we stand on this.If I see an officer assaulted with deadly force or threatened I will respond. I just pray my aim is still as good as it has been. I will protect what is good, and right.This black hatred thing is so un-American. It needs to be stopped. They think they are so frightening, and so invincible...No real Black patriotic American would be found in their ranks

I am not putting ALL people in any category but like the Muslims, we need those of that crowd that don't agree to denounce it. Like I would David Duke if that dummy were to rear his ugly head and spew white supremacy.In many cases, silence is acceptance if you don't speak up and denouce bad behavior.
What we have to all keep in mind is the Lords expectations of us, and the examples we set.
That is just plain scary and I have seen it coming. Heard someone on a conservative radio show saying how we don't need the police anymore,,,,,,,,,,,,,Gunned down while filling up, I am so glad I retired when I did!
Well said, my friend. Well said. The other option is self policing via vigilantism which would be as bad as reactive policing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Yes Blaine I agree, well said. And in saying that, I firmly know we need to "overhaul" law enforcement as it is these days in many areas of this country. There are many good officers in LE, there are sadly many who are not at all concerned with upholding the law as well. Much like the public doesn't self police worth a darn, neither does the LE community within their ranks. It's time that changes, for the better of all. I just don't at all agree with how the press and others are sensationalizing situations. When in effect the real problem goes unchecked.
Mr TRN..... if I may reply in like fashion. My position on LE self policing is not at all derived from TV. (I refuse to call today's "news" news) I have not always been a farmer, I will leave it at that for now. Law Enforcement goes far beyond the patrol officer, the detective, or even his superiors. Your local BLM officer, your Judges, the Mayors, Governors, and even a president all sworn to uphold the law......I will leave it at that thought...
We need not debate semantics as long as we both agree it's *not* a policing/enforcement issue but rather an issue specific to corruption in politicians and law *makers*.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I disagree Redneck. A lot of nights I'm out on beat alone patrolling higher crime areas riddled with property crimes and catalyzed by drug abuse. I know the actors on my beat and I know the locals. As a LEO, on patrol, I notice an individual on the stroll at a quarter past three carrying a back pack through a nicer neighborhood where he doesn't belong that has experienced an uptick in criminality recently, (vehicle burgs, home burgs, misc thefts etc...) I can articulate based upon my familiarization with my beat, the recent activity, and the time of night, whether or not facts and circumstances exist to lead me, a reasonable officer, to suspect there is criminal activity afoot and make a temporary detention to confirm or discredit my suspicion. The "stop". Once I've made that stop, I may or may not be able to articulate whether this individual is armed or not. Or I *may* have spied an inherent trait exhibited by an armed person, (change of gate, weapon bump, sagging pocket, familiar bulge, known to be armed actor, etc...) At that point if again, if i, a reasonable officer, can justifiably articulate, again based upon, facts circumstances and evidence at hand, suspicion this dude is illicitly armed, I can do a limited pat down, (not a search) of his person, to protect myself while I conclude my investigation. If and when at any point my suspicions become invalidated, the detention is over. I really *do* understand people's reservations with stop and frisk but I can only hope that the boys patrolling my neighborhood protecting my family as they sleep at night are operating in the same capacity. While you and I are more than willing and ready to investigate the bumps in the night without LE intervention, the fact remains, as I pointed out in my reply to mr Mullen, there are many that aren't emotionally or physically capable for that.
