As we saw a week ago, when a foaming at the mouth 'Constitutionalist', blew away a cop in Massilon, Ohio after a traffic stop, traffic cops need weapons to defend themselves.
The article in question did not really make it clear which party was "foaming at the mouth".What it did say was that the "suspect" stopped his car,rolled down his window,showed his driver's license,engaged in conversation,but was uncooperative!
The Massillon Threads are filled with errors of logic and improper reasoning based on newspaper accounts filled with errors of omission and comission as well as errors of logic and improper reasoning. They have been properly bumped into the new "Smokey Backroom Forum" where they belong and where I am content to leave them.
My offers to discuss the issues on that topic in those threads were rebutted with inflammatory language and in some cases abusive posts which were pulled by the moderator.
If you wish to discuss those issues in a non-inflammatory manner in some thread somewhere I am willing to entertain the idea as my time and circumstances permit.
I will practice "zero tolerance" for derogatory characterizations of either the Officer or the Citizen killed in that inane encounter.
And yes, everyone needs a gun to defend themselves. They must also have a healthy respect for proper rules of engagement. Something government agencies seem to lack with alarming frequency.
Best regards,
Yep. Sanity BUMP.
