Police are extremely important in stopping crimes...
Which is proven to be a fallacy in the second half of the sentence!
...police understand that they almost always arrive on the scene after a crime has occurred.
If police were so good in stopping crime then they wouldn't have to arrive after the crime was committed so often.
Police investigate or respond to crimes, they rarely stop them from happening.

Other than that it's pretty good on showing the media bias.

Another one of BO’s actions of late.

This one? Police have no responsibility to protect individuals (reference)
It's a bit old.
I'd like to see a new article on the subject.

Fear not. At some point I am convinced that a large scale Mumbai style terror attack will occur in the country. Probably all across the nation simultaneously. I am also confident that in the liberal gun free zones, the bloodshed will be horrific, but in areas with CCW permits in place, the carnage will be fairly limited to the attackers blood on the ground in copious amounts. The amount of spin given to the attackers who will be portrayed as victims will be directly proportional to the number of liberal lawmakers not returned to office courtesy of the news media. Their vilification of gun owners will backfire in that case. They will almost literally shoot themselves in the foot. On full auto.

.....In some places, people were seen clubbing the corpses repeatedly well after they were dead....

I’ll keep that in mind, but *really* didn’t think it was necessary. Talk about being the turd in the punch bowl;-)

Glad to be of service, but I prefer to be the Baby Ruth Bar floating in the Swimming Pool.

Caddyshack, it's not just a Movie, it's a way of life.
