So, Only the Police Should Have Guns, Right?
PJ Tatler ^ | February 15, 2013 | Bryan Preston

Ohio AG Mike DeWine is releasing evidence from an incident involving Cleveland police officers that took place in November. It started with a car chase. Then, it escalated. Badly.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — A November car chase ended in a “full blown-out” firefight, with glass and bullets flying, according to Cleveland police officers who described for investigators the chaotic scene at the end of the deadly 25-minute pursuit.

But when the smoky haze — caused by rapid fire of nearly 140 bullets in less than 30 seconds — dissipated, it soon became clear that more than a dozen officers had been firing at one another across a middle school parking lot in East Cleveland.

Both the passenger and the driver of the car were killed in the fierce firefight. Neither, it turns out, were armed.

So what happened? Well, it turns out that the 13 police officers who fired were shooting at each other. So when they thought they were under fire, they were — just from their own fellow officers.

It was all a case of mistakes piling up on top of one another.

Officers recounted for investigators seeing guns, objects that looked like guns or one of the suspects loading guns in the middle school parking lot — which could not have been possible at that point in the incident. No gun was found in the car.

Some also believed that one officer who ducked behind a car that was hit by the Malibu was either run over or shot – heightening their fears.

The report also shows that many of the officers’ worries were based on possibly erroneous information broadcast over police radio to the approximately 60 police vehicles involved in the chase...

What is with you

Facts and accuracy, which apparently mean nothing to you. Are you employed by the MSM?

BTW - Dorner 4, LAPD gunthugs 1

I take it you're an obnoxious drunk or a supporter of murderers of innocent people. Either way, you're a loser like Dorner.

The Changing Faces of Witch Hunting in America: Michelle A. Dorian Elizabeth M. Mackin.

Link to the cited piece, in case you'd like to peruse it for yourself. Approx 430 kB pdf file.

It's a project undertaken by two 8th grade teachers, and is a review of various types of discrimination and blacklisting. The students first read The Crucible for exposure to the Salem witch trials, the teachers provide more contemporary material (McCarthy, the WWII Japanese internment camps, and others), and the students are tasked with some research and writing news articles.

I don't know the point of arguing over when (or whether or not) the government or private bodies stopped undertake witch hunts, but on looking at the piece cited, one finds it standing for the proposition that the practice of "witch" hunting never stopped.

The definition of "witch" is considerably broadened, of course, and the point is to draw parallels between late 1600's witch hunting and present day biases. Note the article is about the changing face of witch hunting.

As for "supporter of murderers of innocent people" I believe the score there was LAPD gunthugs 3, Dorner 2 - given that the intent of the lawless crazed LAPD gunthugs was to murder 3 innocent people in the Dorner manhunt.

The guy up at Big Bear who ratted out Dorner was lucky the gunthugs didn't shoot his dog, just for laughs & practice...

BTW - Dorner taught those who were paying attention that the gunthugs don't wear camo - they end up inadvertently wearing brown & yellow pants...

I see you support both snitches and crazed jack-booted government murderers.

Bet you “achieved gratification” when you saw pictures of the bullet-riddled newspaper delivery truck in Cali.

I don’t support police shooting first and excusing it later but that doesn’t mean I would have ever supported Dorner in a billion years.

I notice that you're studiously ignoring the criminal shooting of innocent citizens by your LAPD gunthugs:

As for "supporter of murderers of innocent people" I believe the score there was LAPD gunthugs 3, Dorner 2 - given that the intent of the lawless crazed LAPD gunthugs was to murder 3 innocent people in the Dorner manhunt.

No comment, bluebelly?

What you "see" is your own creation, criminal apologist. Your lack of concern for Dorner's victims exposes you for the POS you are.

If you want a laugh, go watch the CBS video of the gunthugs in action. You can hear them pouring in thousands of rounds, and watch them skitting their little skanties as ONE GUY might fling some lead back their way.

I've seen a class of second-graders with more stones than those guys in their "cammie jammies". I kept looking at their pockets for teddy bear arms sticking out...

A valid point was made. Cops crapping their pants and shooting innocent people doesn’t present a professional outlook.

Come up with better names to call folks. BTW

Your lack of concern for the LAPD's victims exposes you for the Statist POS you are.

At the very least, Dorner wasn't a hired .gov gunthug, who rob law-abiding peasants for their paychecks and the paychecks of their government masters...

Dorner, a cold blooded, premeditated murderous POS shot first. He killed a young woman and her fiance precipitating the whole ugly chain of events. He left parents without a child, a woman without her husband and young children without a father.
