Yeah, kinda doubt they'd ever retaliate that much, unless it was some ultra-conservative hick-town

We all know about the Blue Line and corruption and the good ol boy network, but I'm sorry, this guy sounds like someone who didn't know how to manage perceptions by other people. He probably came across as a whiner or outcast. I've been there.

And as for the complaints he submitted, that were ignored? One thing I've learned in life is that you can't expect others to stand up for you just because you're right. The sad truth is that you have to try to fit in, and kiss ass a little, or nobody is going to do shit for you. Being correct doesn't mean shit in this world.

He said he wasnt a bully in school and only got into fights when he was being picked on by classmates in his otherwise all white school. If thats true then I can definitely see him having some hatred of whites and joining the police force as a chance to have power over the people who tried to put him down. I dont know a ton of cops but the ones Ive met and the wannabe's Ive met seem to have that same mentality of the kid who got picked on for being small and started lifting weights to get respect.

Just remember kids, these are the only people in society that should be allowed to have guns.

If one trained guy can do this to one of the biggest agencies in the nation, just imagine 10, 100, 10,000 all at once nation wide.

I can definitely see this being used against us.

"If trained police professionals can make terrible mistakes like this then, we can't allow regular citizens to have guns!"

That's how I'd spin it if I were on the opposition.

It'd ring hollow, I think. Unless they put their money where their mouth is and take away longarms and semiauto pistols and give them S&W revolvers. Americans like to stick their heads in the sand and live in a bubble, but we're not stupid. If anything it'd strengthen the divide between politicians and their lackeys/enforcers and the rest of us.

Have CNN, Fox, or msnbc put any focus on the innocents getting shot up by the police, or are they glossing over it while making excuses for them?

Or you could say that if an army of armed and trained police officers cant defend themselves from one guy with a manifesto, whats a history teacher with a handgun going to do against a determined attacker.

Your bias against self defense and in this particular instance being afraid of shadows versus an active threat is out of place with reality. That's an apples and airplane comparison.

Or pulling a gun can get you paralyzed.

Im not biased against self defense, I just dont believe that having a gun on my person will somehow protect me from incoming bullets.

No! That video is a farce. The "bad guy" knows who is armed in advance and where they are in the class. It's bullshit. There's a guy that was in that video that posted on arf that he traded places and was across the room from where the CHL holder was supposed to be in the skit. When the bad guy broke in he got him. That ended up on the cutting room floor.
