We're the Only Ones Off the Cuff Enough

New eyewitness accounts of a deadly police shooting differ with what police initially said.

Investigators said the suspect was killed after he attacked an officer with his own Taser in southeast Houston.

“I could see everything that happened,” said Yolanda Perry.

From the front porch of the Greater Lighthouse Church, where her husband serves as minister, Perry said she watched in disbelief.

“He got out his handcuffs and he handcuffed him. And after he handcuffed him he got out his gun and he shot him,” she said.

I don't see the problem here. No one disputes that the car the dead suspect's girlfriend was driving had a broken tail light.

Public safety first, you know.

Bastages. From all appearances, it would seem that some type of revolt will have to happen soon. This kind of thing is becoming far to commonplace.

This same type of thing was one of the main contributing causes of the American Revolution. They let the pressure build for eleven years. Gun confiscations were the final straw....

The longer it boils, the worse the explosion when the lid finally blows. As I see it, we've been on high boil for about forty years....
