You are not too far off the mark on your last sentence. Affirmative action, pushed and supported by the ACLU and the feds, has had a very negative impact on police depts. I don’t have any statistics, just anecdotal evidence, which isn’t considered evidence.
IQ ratings have zippo to do with whether someone goes nuts or not.
I read a quote the other day:”It isn’t the title that makes a man noble, it’s the man that makes the title noble”.
Yes, I know, I questioned that myself when I read 'the friend's' interview, however you can't lay blame until the 911 tapes are released, & the person "in charge" is revealed.
And now yesterday we leaned that the perp is supposed to have shot himself in the head -three- times. This only happens in Arkansas.
Yep, just posted it myself, & hope the media has lots of questions for AG Van Hollen, or whomever decides to "take' media questions.
Yeah, they would continue to complain. You can not reason with unreasonable people.
“Authorities plan to release 911 calls recorded during the aftermath of Sunday’s shootings in the next day or two, said Kevin St. John, a state Department of Justice spokesman.
Forest County officials had denied the Journal Sentinel’s request Monday and Tuesday. Witnesses’ accounts of when they called 911 to report Peterson was at the Argonne home, and when he was confronted by law enforcement, have raised questions about how long it took authorities to respond.
A clerk at the Forest County Jail denied a request to view the arrest log, a public record routinely reviewed by the news media.”

With a cop identified as the perp, it should be a thorough investigation.
It was not his weapon it was the department weapon. And it should have been secured in their little black goon squad van.
How safe are deputes and police officers in their off duty cars when m13 know there is a full functioning assault weapon in the trunk. No common sense here. Besides that storm trooper stuff, which I consider unnecessary should be restricted to mature, five years are more experience men.
Peterson took his own life with a handgun, officials said.
Why did they originally say that the SWAT team killed shooter?
The question is, who was holding the gun for the fatal shot.
We’ll, here’s a possiblity. Not that it really matters now.
The SWAT team may have had line of sight on him and his weapon(s).... but couldn’t confirm that he was dead. Maybe looking through some thin drapes or whatever. Tinted glass.
He’s not responding to any commands...so they took a shot.
Sniper confirms he hit the guy...and the guy didn’t move.
Then the police go in.
And it gets reported that SWAT team sniper kills the guy.
Kinda like when the cops shoot the guy in the elevator in the thigh in Silence of the Lambs. The guy was dead. But had a pistol next to his hand.
Said sheriff is a Republican in a dhimm county-they’ve been “gunning” for him since the day he was elected. There’s a lot more to the story than most people know.
My parents live there and my Grandmother(may God rest her soul)was one of the few Republicans there. I’m so glad she infused me with her values as I grew up.
“Theres a lot more to the story than most people know.”
Well, don’t keep us waiting...
Sorry. Until this all plays out that’s about all I can say.
Other than the sheriff has oficially resigned and the deputy(a dhimm) got a slap on the wrist.
So much for being friends with a backstabbing dhimm...
If you had one once of sense you would know how tightly controlled ammo and weapon are around the military. They have adult supervision at all times.
~~
If You have never been in ground combat You don’t know WTF
Your talking about,,,
Ever heard of “fragging” ??...
No they are not too young. But they’ve had more training, and have been instilled with more discipline. They also operate under the close supervision of their NCOs. A small department deputy and/or town cop is much more likley to have to operate on their own. Make a big difference. A larger department would have both more extensive training and would have the green guys, of whatever age, ride along with a more mature training officer, and probably for alonger time.
~~~
Sometimes the LT. and the NCOs and Doc go down,,,
Then you got a 19 year old(with some salt) with a PRC\25
that runs the show(olden days),,,
You are spot~on about the training and the ride~alongs...
Yep, and then he's already in too much trouble to go making any more, except for the enemy of course.
WTF point are trying to make? I’d like to give you the benefit of the doubt before actually tell you my thoughts.
