I, for one, am glad the police ended it the way they did. These mass shooter types are starting to piss me off.

And Jessica Strom apparently did not realize that she might have had a full-blown paranoid schizophrenic living right next door to her!

You’re nothing but a troll...hijacking your own thread, for chrissakes.

If you call someone a “troll” you automatically concede your position, as fallacious ad hominem attacks are the refuge of the feeble minded.

Well, you get my drift.

I’m not sure about that. If a person, or a business wants to exercise certain behavior, like check you gun at the door, or no guns allowed, or they are allowed, I have no problem with that. I have no problem with court, or a legislature or a government entity enforcing property rights, and behavior on its property.

I wouldn’t have government schools, or in charge government with the historical, intellectual and skill development of your child. I would have separation of intellectual, values, and state.

Public schools are to me what pubic housing is to private housing. A dump and an addiction.

"officers should surrender to people who approach them with guns, or that officers have no right to shoot crazies who go nuts in large retail establishments while carrying."

Find one single post. You won't.

That’s what happens when you en FORCE political ‘crimes’. Half the people think a action, made illegal by hack legislatures should not be ‘crimes’. Half don’t. That’s what happens when you get in the middle of a domestic political dispute.

As for real, universal, Biblical crime of rob, rape, steal and murder you will have 99 percent support. In the 1890’s New York City, were the police patrolled alone, with a night stick in a era of no gun checks, no gun laws, no phone, no radio, no vests, no FBI, no fingerprints, no ID’s. Back then the vast majority saw the police as a fellow citizen, one of them, in support of their life and property.

Each and every week, governments make what we were once free to do, illegal, unpermitted, ect..

Being on FR you might of noticed the trend of ever dislike of the size, scope and actions of government. Unfortunately someone has to force those edicts upon a unwilling population.

I meet Viet Nam vets that turn on and off the crazy act at will, depending.

I feel it was the case with this guy.

Have you ever noticed how supposedly crazy street people never step in front of trains or buses and know every welfare grift better than anyone?

"Do you seriously believe that if suddenly got rid of all police, that crime would cease?"

I advocate all police take a taxpayer paid cruise of the South Pacific for two years. Why? For crime to blossom. Robbery, murder, carjacks. Why? So that citizens will arm themselves and pitilessly gun down and murder a generation of criminals over the those two years. That auto thief be dealt with by hanging. And, then after a few years, there will be very, very little serious crime. Even the most humble shack, dump and person will be approached with old world courtesy.

You do realize that those criminals aren't going to just sit back and allow you to kill them, right? Neither would there be anything keeping people from deciding to kill you, simply because you looked at them the wrong way, or said something that they didn't like. A complete break down of law and order as you suggest is anathema to freedom, and is precisely what the Communists want for the United States.

I absolutely agree with you that we need to punish criminals harshly and quickly. However, your way of implementing that solution would quickly cause society to fall into anarchy. Contrary to what the TV might tell you, you aren't John Rambo.

Fail.

Unmarked car, unexpected at night, on private property unidentified?

That’s your example?

( I tell people, normal straight citizens, especially women if they have done nothing wrong to not stop for unmarked cars. To slowly go to a well lit gas station and park at the front door and not exit the car until a patrol car and uniformed officer appear. )

( you meant Rambo wasn’t me )

In all my life, in the hundreds of thousands of interactions, I and no one I know, has had any serious problem with anyone. That must measure in the millions of interactions.

Now why would the presence or absence of other people, in special clothing, in painted cars change anything? That would be superstition.

Of course all elites say that without them the world would end. With out the founding Roman families, the crops wouldn’t grow. With out the Communist commissars, production wouldn’t occur. With out the Democrat party people would not be able to house themselves...

Everywhere, for four thousand years at least, theft, murder, rape, robbery have been punished by all people. Frankly, they don’t need a security bureaucracy, any more than they need housing bureaucracy.

The US got along better, for two hundred years, and a hundred and a half before it’s founding, with out police. Police are not for crime. They are for shaping the population to obey mob, democratic ( for now ) government.

Police make people weak, cowardly and lazy, like any other welfare agency.

Law Enforcement has existed in the United States since PRIOR to the Founding. In fact, history shows that some form of Law Enforcement can be dated all the way back to the times of Nebuchadnezzar. The first Sheriff in Colonial America was appointed in 1634. Whether you want to admit it or not, Law Enforcement has been an important part of the United States, in some form or another, for all of its existence.

So called cop haters usually have a reason. More often than not it’s because they have been the victim of a crooked cop, or they’re just tired of all the corruption and crime hiding itself behind a badge. Both are valid.

This appears to be a good shoot by the police. There are some where the cop is the one shot which are equally good. That’s just how it goes depending on the totality of the circumstances in question.

Anytime someone is shot the circumstances surrounding the shooting should be examined with a critical eye. Simply assuming that it’s a good shooting because it was a cop that pulled the trigger is a very dangerous thing.

Sheriffs, classically, were/are not police. Big, big, historical, philosophical and political difference.

The reason I support Sheriffs( a real sheriff not a now police organization, under executive control and called a Sheriff’s department ), under a court, is that that prevents the enforcement of political crimes. A legislature is very limited in it’s ability to force a court officer to do anything. I like that. Anything that limits, fractures state power is better.

Were there has been an force organization under the control of an executive, king, mayor, chancellor, administrator, there has not been liberty.
