Bravo Sierra!
The various activities and scenarios DON'T FIT THE LIE AT ALL !

What irks me mist is that dangling over our heads are thousands of laws, of which no one—not regular citizens nor cops nor lawyers—has comprehensive knowledge, any one of which we can be guilty of at any moment. That, not absence of rules, represents the bad kind of anarchy. The worst are the elastic charges like obstruction, disorderly conduct, etc. through which cops on the scene become absolute dictators.
I pray the sadistic bastards that did this get raped repeatedly by their enormously well-endowed cell mates.
I’m all for the proper use of TASERs, but I would stipulate that the proper use is as an alternative to deadly force when deadly force is otherwise indicated.
sorta makes you wonder if when you see a fire or a crime in progress, should you do something about it or just stand by and watch?
water and volts don’t mix
“let insurance take care of it...”??
seriously??
There was a day when cops would help fight the fire until the firetrucks arrived, even drag out people and kittens from the house.
Right there with you. I thought he had rigged a flamethrower using a water hose.
The cops were the only ones doing any obstructing!
Lucky for me, I live in same type of community. The local police and firemen are our friends and neighbors.
I remember seeing a fire in an apartment building. Me and my brother, who was driving, turned around and started knocking on doors to get people out of there.
We never got credit for anything, never even thought about it.
how were the police there first?
What’s left out of the story is a donut shop is right across the street.
And the context fit too! I mean, that he would have been tased for using such an ingenious homemade weapon. It had such potential for being a “God Bless America” moment. :(
But that way they couldn't have watched him twitching in agony on the ground. So cool!
Change the police department personnel policies to screen for sadists. Fire the sadists on the force (or at least keep them away from the public). Don't hire the sadists who want a badge for all the wrong reasons.
I said the good old US of A, not the people’s Republic of California. I live in Ohio. We ever start passing BS laws like that and we’ll be moving to Arizona.
It sounds like your local community still employs peace officers, not LEOs.
Peace officers are decreasing in number, as LEOs increase.
This shift is a bad one for liberty.
Tazers = Electric Whips
I don’t recognize my nation anymore.
Another THX 1138 moment brought to you by big government!
“Under new law Homeowners may face 6 years in prison and fines of $100,000 Dollars a Day for Washing Car in Driveway”
I followed that link because I thought that you were kidding.
You were not.
You know, the Russians made a big damn mistake letting East Germany go. I think that the entire Stasi wound up here.
No wonder property values in California crashed and will probably not come back in our lifetimes. Apparently, the only thing you can do in or around “your” (and I use the term loosely) house is sleep and store your car so that you can go to work and pay the mortgage and property taxes on it! What a deal!
And they claim that slavery was abolished!
“Change the police department personnel policies to screen for sadists.”
That won’t work, because then there won’t be nearly enough applicants. So, who will protect us then? :)
