• Father Dies After He ‘Begged for His Life’ While Cops Struck Him With Batons — Cellphone Videos Seized

  May 15, 2013 at 1:31pm

  It is difficult to come to any conclusions from the video. As far as confiscating the videos/phone I see no problem with it. The fact they were confiscated should mean they were tagged into property leaving a paper trail. Tampering with evidence would become a bigger issue in the future.

  @KRENSHAU

  You blame another poster for sticking up for the police and surmise that it is because they possibly have had good contacts with police or possibly have “an in” with them. You allege that this makes them less objective. Aren’t you doing the same thing by pointing out all of the negative things you have “seen” cops do?

  I am a cop and have been for along time. I have never in my life seen an abuse of power with the men and women I work with. Does it happen? Sure, cops are human, not robots. I hold people accountable by my own actions and expect others to follow suit. So if there was an officer out there that was planning on making a bad decision then they probably wouldn’t do it around me.

  This overview that you have of “cops being bad” is completely ridiculous, for no person in 100% bad all of the time. People make bad decisions…..all people. I have made some bad ones to, but with no malfeasance intended.

  DUCKYACK SAID, “Cops, like them, are supported and influenced, by this administration”
  Are you nuts? I hate the current administration and what they stand for. So do most guys I work with. However, I do believe in our system of government.

• Do Michael Bloomberg’s Anti-Gun Ads Violate All 3 of the NRA’s Basic Gun Safety Rules? Here’s the Evidence

  I’m not sure if this has already been posted, but the actor does not have his finger on the trigger in either video that I can tell. In the first video he is holding the shotgun up near the breach and in front of the trigger guard. In the second video he is holding it further down the stock and behind the trigger guard. Since we do not know what is to the actor’s left, but assuming there is nothing, the gun appears to be in a safe direction since it is angled downward. I do not agree with any more firearm restrictions than we already have, but using this video to point out possible inaccuracies in gun safety does not seem like a smart move to gain support.

• UPDATED: Handicapped Woman Refuses Smart Meter — Has Power Cut in the Dead of Winter

  February 9, 2013 at 5:23pm

  In reply to shesellsshells.

  The power company wants the new meters so they don’t have to hire someone to go check it every month. This will help keep their costs down in the future. Common sense would be to let the lady keep her old analog meter and charge her extra per kilowatt because someone will have to be hired to drive out to her house to check it. But the power company cannot do that because it’s pricing is regulated by the government.

• Mystery: Contracted FDA Guard Opens Fire on 15-Year-Old Boy

  In reply to Rogue Human.

  Really??? I’m a cop in America. I haven’t murdered anyone. I still pledge allegiance to my flag and stand up from my country. I believe in the constitution and also feel it is threatened. It’s interesting how we can believe in the same things, yet you feel just because I am paid by a government that I am against you. I doubt you deal with the ugly side of humanity on a daily basis. Yet, I still have to come home and act like it doesn’t bother me to my children. Believe me, the police isn’t what’s wrong with the country, it’s the drowning moral code from the erosion of family.

• ‘We Have the Right to Defend Ourselves’: Community Rallies Around Utah Man Arrested for Shooting at Burglar

  “I was afraid the guy would break into another house that was occupied and hurt someone.” I think that comment would suffice to call the shooting justified.

  I agree with Bannedfromhuffington. I might of thought it was funny if I believed there was any accountability for the press.

• What Obama ‘Joke’ Was Greeted With Overwhelming Boos at a Local Chamber of Commerce Dinner?

  January 31, 2013 at 12:23am

  Is it just me or did I miss the “boos” as reported in the story. I heard initial laughter and then the “oooss”, like when someone just made a mama joke. The joke didn’t infer that he would kill the president as the news media reported either. It was an obvious joke, in poor taste, but I didn’t think it was over the top.
