We're the On...Yes, Again...

A case of theft hit close to home for Bloomington police after guns and other gear were stolen from a police officer's car.

Bloomington police are passing around copies of a photograph showing the kinds of equipment someone grabbed from an officer's car.

"Really, I think it should bother everybody. It gives someone a definite advantage with a gun, radio, handcuffs and a badge," said Gene Perkins, Bloomington resident...

"I think it's just dangerous for people to have guns like that in the possession of police on the street to start with," said Staci Leavitt, university student.
The funny thing is, Staci, I agree with that statement.

I wonder if Staci realizes what she said? I also have come to the point where I distrust cops with guns. Too often they've proven themselves incompetent with them, and when they do kill someone, they never face any serious consequences, unlike us peons.

I agree. Just for fun, next time one starts to talk to you, tell him to remove his weapon and go sit 30 yards off the road in the grass, otherwise you will consider him too dangerous to be in public and will refuse to talk to him.

Damn do they get incensed. Yet, their record is so much poorer than the average citizen's, in every category of responsibility to another in a civilized society.
