Oh man, it gets better. When his mistress broke it off with him, Judge McCree lied to prosecuters to try to get her arrested for stalking and extortion. So where the heck are the perjury charges?
So..........fix that maybe? There are literally a thousand ideas on these boards alone (probably) that could be tried. End some of the more oppressive federal agencies/laws, like DHS, DEA, fusion centers, war on terror, American imperialism etc etc. and taxes wouldnt even have to be raised, or raised that much. Hell go with the build a billion off shore turbines plan or whatever. Beats jailing more people and further degrading our liberty.

Im going to take you in good faith here, and assume that youre not trying to put words in my mouth. I got no problem with holding individuals responsible for their actions. I DO have a problem with forcing people to register to excercise their inalienable rights. I would be just as against a proposal to register the names and addresses of anyone using their first amendment protected rights to protest a president or senator. Come up with a better way that doesnt include a registry and Id probably be behind it.
More cops who do not know how to read a warrant threaten 11 month old, shoot dog But fear not, intrepid citizens. Your noble government will see that they are held to the same standards as you! Why, I bet the process to put them on paid administrative leave has already begun and will be completed within a matter of weeks! PS- we need you to pay your fair share in taxes, citizen. These dynamic raids and civil suits arent free, you know.
NYPD sued for 250 million for handcuffing and interrogating 7 year old FOR 10 HOURS Atlanta officer accused of sexting 15 year old Man, that government accountability is HARSH. I know every time Im accused of inappropiate relations with a minor, I get way way less than being put on easier task at work. I mean, administrative duty?!? Thats cruel and unusual, man!

He didnt say that it would be more transparent. So, not a lie. It IS unprecedented.
Brooklyn woman chained to bed for 17 days. After NYPD breaks her leg. During a false arrest. Because she was a flight risk. With her broken leg. Seems legit.

In a follow-up, School offers counseling to kids traumatized by pop-tart gun. Not the Onion. Im wondering if the trauma counseling is for the pastry gun or for the kids learning of the idiocy of their teachers. Since it was an imaginary gun, should the suspension likewise be only imaginary?
Enjoy this montage of non-compliance. I know that I did.
Feds say man deserved arrest for wearing "occupy everything" on jacket. Second grader suspended for chewing pastry into a gun shape Anyone else remember when playing GI Joe was a thing? 2700 mine-resistant armored carriers to go along with DHS's 1.6 BILLION+ rounds of ammo. Glad to see the sequester is cutting spending. But seriously, are mines a really big problem whilst serving warrants?

These drones dont pay for themselves.

thejeff wrote: Exactly what, on the split-second decision level did either cop do wrong? Well, target identification is pretty much the first thing that you learn, after general safety guidelines. Let me put in its simplest terms: A cop yells that he's been shot. Return fire should then be directed at someone who has a gun. Not someone who is unarmed and watching tv. You are correct in that the biggest mistake was opting for the no-knock raid to begin with. You are incorrect in believing that the cops should be justified in shooting at just any target, without even fully knowing what that target is. Edit- Or to put it another way, lets explore a hypothetical: a family has friends staying the night over the holidays. During the night, the wife mistakenly believes shes been shot, somehow. The husband rushes downstairs and shoots his friend while his friend is watching tv. Should the friends family be able to seek damages? Of course they should! Should the husband win Homeowner of the Year awards? Of course he shouldnt, he should face trial! Target identification is important.
Relevent quote: "During a deposition, Sweeney asked: "Why didn't we just knock on the door?" My response to Sweeney: Why would you? If you shoot people watching porn in their living rooms, you win awards. If the death is found to be wrongful, the township pays for you. There is literally no downside.
No charges for cops who beat up guy for driving while black. But I see the victim got a $795,000 settlement.......from the taxpayer.

My favorite part of the humanitarian intervention in Libya was when NATO, whose stated goal was to set up a no-fly zone until Gaddafi agreed to a ceasefire and negotations, ignored Gaddafi's calls for a ceasefire and return to negotations and continued bombing a bunch of non-flying stuff. Man I cant wait.
Another terrorist plot foiled by TSA Ye gods, man. Those terrorists are using wheelchair-bound 3 year olds, now! How many terrorists have the TSA caught now?
I love The Onion. LA on high alert as LAPD returns to regular duty At what point does reality become satire and vice-versa?
More on America's expanding "kill list" Exactly how many times does the "slippery slope fallacy" have to come true before its no longer a fallacy?

Sure. But you dont need to be a highly trained killer to do that. Priority 1 should be getting innocents out of the way, not taking a guy out, and surely not shooting at people because they drive a truck. Once innocents are out of harms way, negotiations can take place, or at the very least, a siege can occur where the police simply out-wait the assailant. Only when innocents are endangered by the gunman should lethal force be applied, and I imagine that this is so rare to not even need to appear in the top-top priorities of police training.

To expand on Kirth's comments: In between downtown Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania pretty much consists of two things: farms and forests. I highly doubt anyone would open fire on anyone, but pretty much everywhere in between the two cities is highly insular and of the "bitter clinger" variety (its the part of the world that the President visited shortly before making that speech, after all.). It mostly consists of descendents of German, Polish, and Irish immigrants though. And PA's liquor laws are just stupid. Plain and utterly stupid. On the other hand, we have easy and plentiful access to Yuengling lager. And scrapple for hangover curing breakfast.
But back to the original question of this thread, I would have to be put in the anti-bear spray in schools camp. To me, the reasoning is that the most like rampage shooting with spray deterrent would go done like this: Shooter walks in, school official notices and releases bear spray. Everyone (shooter included) starts tearing up, choking and coughing instead of running away and/or hiding. Shooter, unable to see, starts blindly firing in student/teachers general direction. Children/teacher unable to run away.
