  • Al Gore just pulled a David Barton!

  • Interesting question. He basically asked her how she would expand the government.

  • It’s good to see Romney kicking back and he definitely has the time today because, unlike Obama, he’s not going to have to play defense tomorrow night by explaining why the Ottoman Empire has reappeared on this earth.

    If you want to do a drinking game during the debate then a shot for every time Obama blames Bush and mentions Bin Laden.

    One observation I have made so far is that STATUTORYAPE seems to be nearly as ate-up as the dead naked lady.

    “Ate-up?” Not completely sure what you are saying but, yea, man, I respect human life. I just think this story was rushed to be uploaded with about 30% of what really happened.

  • “The report does not specify what type of weapon the woman returned with, but it does say she died at the scene”

    Don’t you think if she had been wielding a gun that they would have included that in their initial report?? The fact that they just say “weapon” makes me think she did not have a gun. Either way, it won’t matter in the end because both officers are long-time friends so neither would give the other up for any wrong doing.

    btw please don’t compare the police to the military. The military will always have my respect but the police are citizens just like you and me.

    Did you notice how they conveniently omitted what kind of “weapon” that she had. What was it, a hairbrush this time? Or possibly a glass of milk or a children’s toy? Or, did they think that the bologna sandwich was a gun? What?

    That’s what I am thinking. I think the media has rushed through this story without even educating themselves on the facts. I’m sure there will be an update, which I look forward to.

  • The story is sketchy (as in she was shot on her property) and who knows what really happened – I’m not sure where you guys are getting the idea that if a person is on drugs and on their property then it’s okay to kill them. Any idiot can pull a trigger. What police lack are the skills to even carry on a civil conversation especially since they are not ranked higher than any other individual. No shot was reported on her end; I think some cops just wanted to dump some ammo.

  • Bare Naked Ladies

  • Yeah….I don’t see anywhere in the story (so far) that the female even fired a shot or even pointed whatever weapon at the cops. If the person is on drugs, then most everyone on here seems to think that somehow makes it okay to use deadly force. I have been through my college crazy alcohol and drug days and I never had a police incident. They usually just incapacitate you. I just think a person’s life is valuable – even a strung out naked woman’s life – and police seem to be more and more liberal about where deadly force is justified. They keep the laws slightly vague so it’s left up to their judgement; and since every cop’s individual judgement is unique, some will try to catch the person alive while others just can’t wait to pull that trigger.

  • @person above me I forgot your name – yeah I should be asleep and on my meds but I have been feeling pretty rowdy all night. Just trying to help correct people’s mistakes. Spreading joy throughout the world and **** like that. I am not an anarchist so everyone can break their defensive formations, calm down, and take it easy.

    Here’s something to think about (the police are not required to protect you):

    In Warren v. District of Columbia (1981), the D.C. Court of Appeals ruled, “police personnel and the government employing them are not generally liable to victims of criminal acts for failure to provide adequate police protection . . . . [A] government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any particular citizen.” In Bowers v. DeVito (1982), the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled “[T]here is no constitutional right to be protected by the state against being murdered by criminals or madmen.”

    Basically, these court precedents (I’m guessing) makes it clear that no citizen is entitled to use police as protection or bodyguards. What about witnesses in murder trials where there is a credible threat that their safety is compromised?

    Yes, we need police but the quality of police officers is pretty terrible and it’s not really something to aspire to. Smarter cops become detectives while the rest are held back because of their low IQ and short temper.
