richieb Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I have a LEO son who polices' in a suburb of KC. He has engaged in several foot chases which for all practical puposes end in hand to hand combat. For him to think that person is not armed is foolish and a deathwish. And he has been involved in the worst case scenarios of domestic violence where more often than not firearms are involved. One situation tuned out badly for the gun toting abuser. He has a tough job, a wife and my young grandson and I worry about him every day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2K Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I believe the phrase uttered by P.T. Barnum is accurate. It is proven to be true publicly very often, as is the case here. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After summer we will be going to Mexico, well an island off the coast anyway, thinking about catching the ferry to the mainland to bring protest signs to see if they will accept me as a citizen by protesting, this should work out OK. Can't wait to be welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted July 18, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2018 Good point, or someone's kid, I hate when i need to moderate myself. So I'm done I do watch some of these live PD shows and everytime I end up saying " I couldn't be a cop". I would hold a record for how many people I tased, they would fire me and possibly put me in jail, I couldn't put up with what these people deal with.

WTF are you talking about "trolling people." That is BS. I saw a response that was political and didn't know the person I was addressing....Most folks in the USA are NOT anti-police and that was what I was responding to....Btw, some posts were deleted so that may be why you seemed to have formed an opinion that is wrong.

Don't believe MEDIA propaganda hype! Most Americans, regardless how they felt politically during the above years, supported law enforcement and "the Media" made it seem like most Americans didnot. Everybody from the POTUSA on though Congress supported law enforcement back in those days....It could be argued that things have changed in 2018 but I won't go there. I support law enforcement from the police through FBI regardless who is in office. Here @Jeff Matthewsin case you missed it.

oldtimer Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 There seems to be a lot of confusion over the definition of "trolling" around here, so don't take it too personally. Words may matter to those who know them, but others can be clueless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely don't "troll" and don't know who all of the players are who make comments--Just reacting to posts. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 LOL!!! Glad I wasn't away longer. I can only imagine the additional consternation. I was speaking in jest. .It could be argued that things have changed in 2018 but I won't go there... but you did, but you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
