We can’t end this thread on that “I LOVE that album” note. Can we?

A convenience that should be denied our public masters.

History has taught that we suffer from insufficient paranoia.

Maybe I’m just sexist, but I really can tell when a news story is written by a woman. They read like romance novels. It’s always feelings, feelings, feelings.

Crandon police chief John Dennee refused to confirm reports that Peterson was a member of the force's heavily-armed SWAT team.

“I am very upset with the lack of information the police have let out. It took 13 and 1/2 hrs for the police to notify at least one family I know for a fact. The family called every 30 mins until 10 to 5pm when they were finally notified and the shooting happend at 3am.

“That is beyond ridiculous. There is definitely something going on that they are trying to cover up. Who knows if we will ever find out what it is, but I have no doubt at all that there is something.”

People

THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT AND BEURACRACIES IN ANY SORT OF EMERGENCY IS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES ABOVE ALL ELSE -FIRST-.

13 1/2 hours for victim notification clearly shows you what the priorities were.

Interesting.......City of Crandon employs only 3 full-time cops, yet they have a "heavily-armed SWAT team".

WTMJ radio, when they are not mourning yesterday’s loss to the Bears, is currently reporting that a Crandon Presser is scheduled for 1:00 PM CDT today.

Don’t hold your breath......

Not true. Cannot *purchase* under 21,

I was referring to the comment that someone had said that the snot noise punk might have been a jack booted thug member of a swat team and therefor had a full auto weapon. So are you telling me he could own a full auto?

Can someone explain how someone age 20 gets onto a Sheriff’s Department as a full fledge deputy? IMHO, that’s just a recipe for disaster.

I agree, tho he probably went through some training program & in truth, some people never outgrow a hot head. Thing is, by selecting those who are a bit older, it's easier to tell.

TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS?

1) Was the gun used, paid for by taxpayers and only available to LEO?

2) Is there any drug history with this perp? Ritalin, etc?

Who wants to bet we’ll never know or certainly won’t find out without a legal fight.

Just think, when every community has their own "heavily-armed SWAT team" taxpayers will then be safe....then the 'gun-grabbers' can move in.

Love your tag....my top answer would be "13 letters".

From 2001 FR thread:

Since January 2000 alone, six SWAT teams were put into action in the state, most recently in tiny Forest County, where only 18 patrol officers serve a 1,000-square-mile jurisdiction with a population of just over 9,000.

‘”He must have just snapped,” said a close friend who had known Peterson since they were in kindergarten and talked to him in the parking lot Saturday night. “He seemed fine (at 8:30 p.m.).”’

Nobody ‘just snaps’. Thats an urban myth perpetuated by the mainstream media outlets every time something like this happens.

Watch and see, in coming weeks we will learn this guy had previous problems.

They always do. ALWAYS.

The shooter has a past. We’ll find out in a day or so if any of the local news people actually go out and do the job they are paid for.

I'm glad someone else was concerned with this overlooked little factoid. Why does a city of less than 2,000 people need a SWAT team??? Easily obtained Homeland Security equipment and financing??? Weekend Rambo wannabes??? I wonder if they've gotten their Armored Personnel Carrier yet???

From 2001 FR thread:

Good info...also interesting that this was PRE 9-11.

To sell local governments on the need for SWAT teams, police officials usually talk about preparedness for terrorist incidents or barricaded hostage situations. But once trained, SWAT personnel are most commonly used to serve drug warrants and make drug arrests. The federal war on drugs provides powerful incentives for stepped-up police activity, handing out money on the basis of the number of arrests scored.

Gov't can always find the funds to police us CITIZENS.....
