You're welcome.

if found to not have a justifiable reason. The ones you prefer have internal investigations away from the public and are represented by professional associations.

It seems an odd set of priorities.

Those of us for whom life is preferable to self-righteous indignation prefer not to be unilaterally disarmed.

Nice post.

Are you defending Dorner or Teabaggers? Or neither? Or both?

But I'm surprised that those who support Dorner can also pretend to be anti-2nd Amendment. Apparently they don't mind *him* using guns to resist Da Man.

probably done more damage to the LAPD without violence and instead taking his manifesto to the media, news circuits, (even Hollywood for $$$) than he can with violence.

Does everyone need to make their own vanity post on this subject?

It makes me wonder what kind of personality seeks out that kind of power - to be a police officer. The fact that he purports to be free of blame, yet was able to gun down people in cold blood is telling. The fact that the LAPD has been shooting first and asking questions later is also very telling. The whole system is completely fucked up, yet we sit on our asses as spectators.

unless they happen to be the young people wholly unresponsible for his grievances who he shot down in cold-blooded murder in order to decry police brutality -- kinda like the kind where an ex-cop imagines himself above the law and guns down young people wholly unresponsible for his greivances.

The fact that you can find both of those opinions on a message board full of posts from lots of people make me shrug as well. Maybe with one shoulder, instead of two.

and then condemn those who would defend themselves from such a threat. At best the complainers seem to admit they accept their rank as mere sheeple.

V-for-Vendetta types are not and they assume that their principles give them the PRIVILEGE of instigating trouble and violence WITHOUT ASKING ANYONE ELSE if s/he wishes to exercise their rights to make individual CHOICES in the matter.

Meet the "new" boss, SAME as the old boss.

Anyone who says it isn't, and has not ALWAYS been, and very likely will never be anything but "the lesser of two bads" is a liar. Give me the one I know and have at least theoretical influence over to make things better, over the one I don't know, and whose "friends" and associates I don't know either, and who all are pretending that the things that we don't know about them or what they propose for "our" future don't matter.

Leaving homeowners defenseless against criminals. Defenseless against a platoon attacking their house, maybe yes.
