LOL I just took the dog down to the office and had coffee with the chief and the officer and they fed him donuts.
That’s great. Love the way you handled it.
100%... thank you
OK, my bad, I misread you.
LAPD is one of the worst in the country (along with Philadelphia and chicago).
They have not earned our creedance nor trust. I am inclined to believe that what they have introduced in the news about this man is largely false, and intended to turn the public against him, in their own selfinterest.

I can make the same statement, but cops today are in no way like the cop of 1960.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
I thought so...I have read your posts for a while, and it didn’t click.
I understand the points you make there, FRiend.
This country is increasingly post-Christian, and slouching toward anarchy, which in turn facilitates increasing government control.
Robert Winthrop (May 12, 1809 – November 16, 1894), and Speaker of the House from 1838 to 1840, and later president of the Massachusetts Bible Society, explained that, “Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled, either by a power within them, or by a power without them; [ultimately] either by the Word of God, or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible or the bayonet.
But the government itself must be governed, which is by the voters, yet as they are increasingly given to deception, so those who are elected are increasingly deceivers.
Meanwhile, there are also many libertarian conservatives which seem to have a basic animus against police authority (and imagine we can have less use of that without the people being controlled from within), and some seem to be looking for a reason to take them out. Which will serve to justify greater force by the gov., and targeting of conservatives.
The problem is with those who direct the police, as i see that getting worse. All the conservatives could move to Wyoming or someplace, but for a real born again Christian the work is to reach the lost, and in addition to promoting righteousness, that is the only real hope for this country.
That is part of the picture, but while they want liberty for their immorality, and thus oppose moral authority and police enforcement of morality, they demand law enforcement targeting those who oppose them. Think of hate crime legislation and selective enforcement of it.
Meanwhile, the loss of integrity in law enforcement also serves to justifies the basic animus against authority an lack of objectivity in dealing with such that many conservatives seem to express.
Ask the guy who got rammed at full speed if he thought he had any defense. How bad do you want to kill a guy that you ram him so hard that you tear his rear axle clean off?
Navy Patriot thank you for your service as well. Val, not sure if you're a vet, but thank you just the same.
Thanks for your service to our country and what you and your troops did for the freedom and security of the natives!
BZ; Well done!
This thread has been shock treatment.
So many that I thought were solid sensible FReepers have come out as supporters of the thugocracy, and I read your post without careful thought, and thought that you had jumped ship.
At this point I’ve come to suspect that Dorner is a tool that they have held in reserve, much like the rest of the liberal mass killers, but he didn’t deploy exactly as they had envisioned it.
They now have “2013 - Cop Oddessy” on their hands.
I agree with you. Some of the stuff I have read is disconcerting, to be charitable.
But, hey. The other side is that we allow people to speak their mind, mostly. Doesn’t mean you won’t be challenged, but you can say what you want.
What you said is very true. Indeed.
I’m not shilling for the LAPD. I’m just pointing out the gaping hole in Rambro’s logic.
I'm not. I expected it..........
