y9500 is a disgusting reaver-sucker.
ReplyDeleteI posted my thoughts on this already... Thugs with badges...
ReplyDeleteI guess we need to start educating the people about, wait for it, Ranger Danger.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help myself.
One blows off the authorities at one's peril.
ReplyDeleteSome of those gals are not to be blown off at all, especially with the way that lesbians gravitate towards wearing uniforms. They can have a thing about not being taken seriously because they‘re women, especially by a man. Gets 'em all radical, militant, lesbian feministy and stuff, like when they were getting their Women's Studies degree. Combine that with being on the rag, pregnant or nursing, and you're likely not to have a pleasant experience with mama grizzly. That fool is lucky that Officer Zapper didn't have a rage-induced lapse of judgment and pepper him with hollow points. He needs to work on his social survival skills. Treating people with the respect that they are due is important in life.
I subscribe to the 'no harm, no foul' model of law. In my world this is a clear assault and battery on the part of the so-called 'ranger'.
ReplyDeleteOops - my area of expertise again - The Taser, while providing a modicum of assistance to law enforcement has also created a huge problem. Back in the days when I was a rookie officer cops actually took the time to talk to folks. If that didn't work, then the laying on of hands might be necessary.
ReplyDeleteUse of the Taser, along with the liberal pussification of the profession on the whole, has resulted in a generation of officers who fail to practice and exercise interpersonal skills and are afraid of getting their asses kicked in even a slightly physical altercation. At the first sign of disagreement, perceived disrespect or resistance from a citizen, the officers whip out the trusty Taser and zap the snot out of the offender.
I remember when they issued us pepper spray. I carried it for fifteen years. I used it exactly zero times. I carried a Taser for two years prior to retirement. I used it exactly zero times (except for the handy-dandy built-in flashlight).
