Just an idea...

Wasn't there a video of Al Qaeda testing poison gas on dogs?

LOL!

You're behind the power curve Mene...

So-called 'Officer' Hale doesn't have to be falsely labeled a TERRORIST.

He IS a TERRORIST.

By definition.

I think a good test of whether this cop is any good is if the townpeople turn out to support him. Not just his relatives and the other cop's families, but the whole town with their dogs. If that happens then I would be inclined to believe he's a decent cop who made a mistake.

Good point. By the way...many, many "Halls" live in Putnam County. Some of them are VERY LARGE landowners and probably VERY wealthy. I'm sure officer Hall is related to some of them and will have their support. All of this ranting and raving against him is pointless with local support. Perhaps we could see about solving some OTHER problems?

I must disagree with you. You've missed the key point along the way that the traffic stop was initiated by hearsay. This quickly moved to "cause" where a family was threatened with firearms and, in fact, firearms were discharged in this bogus criminal apprehension.

After Waco, I'd ask those that thought the government justified in that infanticide the following:

Clinton and Gore both have children the same ages as many inside that home. Would the FBI have moved and used the same tactics if Chelsea was inside?

And so I ask you, would you want the same treatment for you and yours?

I just watched the video for the first time. Unbelievable, the poor little dog was running around wagging his tail and then boom.

Mene, it occurs to me
You're barking up
The wrong dang tree !

Korean folk may munch on dawgs,
In place of chickens, cows ' hawgs
But long as they stay way from cats
'N make main courses outa rats

The only folks that will go bats
Are the morons wearing P.E.T.A. hats !!

If only Americans could shoot their enemies as easily as they shoot their dogs!The law does not create order,it enslaves its populace.

You don't have to look far or falsify charges that Muslim culture and dogs don't get along. I remember reading an article that the decency police in Iran are busy dealing with a dog-keeping fad. It's against the law there to keep dogs as pets. I remember in Turkey, the polizei would shoot any stray dog as a matter of course. I don't think that the Muslim faith is particularly friendly to canines.

Now if you had a video of Saddam grilling a kitten, you could start WWIII!

How does boot leather taste? Does the foot smell come through? Or is it mostly the natural leather?
