Ya know what I don't like? A person who draws conclusions before all the facts are in, to grind his own ideological ax.

This essayist is the equivalent of those who use murders committed by guns to advocate for gun control.

Yes, there were failures (leaving a 230 lb. man unquoted in front of a five foot woman is one of them). But we don't know why this happened until all this facts are in.

Teplukin concludes that this essayist is a very annoying whippersnapper & an honorary know-it-all liberal.

The only fact you need to know is why he wasn't handcuffed in the first place.

[Carolinamom]

The facts ARE in.......she's dead and he escaped.

[Huck]

The fact missing from the article is specifically what rule said that he should wear cuffs, and who made the rule. Was this a court decision? A state decision? I personally don't appreciate articles where I'm just as ignorant after reading it as before.

I did not get the impression that this writer was a liberal with an agenda. What facts do you feel will be revealed? The fact that he got the gun off a small woman left to guard him is the primary fact after that everything else is ancillary. I think he hit the mark rather well. You may gain details or things that were not done wrong but the cause of this was the primary fact.

"Facts" revision: Meant to read...She's shot and he escaped.

Death by PC: a cruel meaningless death committed by criminals for the benefit of their liberal friends "sensitivities".

Liberal elitism at it's sickest.

You seem to be an enemy of common sense. That was the point of the article you criticized: Common sense and sound judgment are twisted into knots by people who have ideological agenda [often called "politically correct"--but I feel even this name is allows the mindlessness to persist. There is nothing correct about this tendency in modern life. It is a marxist tendency and "politically correct" is a marxist term--though few know that at this point.

There are enough facts in in order to exercise sound judgment. Facts: He was released from his handcuffs in order to get dressed when a single armed woman was not enough to prevent him from overpowering her and taking her weapon. That is the fact.

Your insistence on suspending judgment indicates that you have some other motive than exercising sound opinion of a citizen. The tyrrany of expertism makes citizens believe that they shhould not have opinions on ordinary things that are not as complex as claimed. You are wittingly or unwittingly feeding that tyrrany.

The guy was caught with two homemade knives the day before...it is truly pc politics. Also, Fulton County police dept is very badly run.

I think you mis-read this.

Lack of handcuffs was the the major contributing factor to this crime. 4 people are dead from PC.

There is no need for an investigation to come to this conclusion.
