Al and Jesse would get to these things sooner if they didn’t keep tripping over each others feed.

To All:

If, after reading the articles and comments in this thread you feel moved to contact the Tulsa Police Department and send them a big hearty THANK YOU!  for all of the great work that they do, as well as for bravely putting up with all of the negative stuff that they are subjected to in such a superbly professional manner, you may do so here:

Contact Us

Because this event occurred in the North part of the city, I'm guessing that most of the officers probably came from the North Precinct:

Uniform Division North
3436 N. Delaware.Ave
Tulsa, Ok 74110
Ph.(918) 591-4100

also:

 

Homicide	(918) 596-9135
Major Crimes	(918) 596-9122

I’m sure Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will be first on the scene asking the neighborhood to let the police do their job. Not.

Don’t you feel stupid today?

Funny how reality can slap you upside the head.

[Stoat]

Why do you think I would feel stupid today?

[Balding_Eagle]

Because instead of advising the students to smile at the gunman, you were posting here on FR.

[Stoat]

Smile at the gunman? I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

Please use more words to explain what it is that you are tryiing to convey.

Are you sure that you are not meaning to speak to someone else? What you are saying makes no sense.

[Ieatfrijoles]

I hope Tulsa is OK.

[Stoat]

Why would the City of Tulsa not be okay?

[SoCal Pubbie]

I saw a “Stop Snitchin’” bumper sticker in LA a few weeks ago. I was stunned to see that mentality on display.

[Balding_Eagle]

You are SO right, I meant to post to someone else.

And I’M the one feeling stupid now.

Apologies to you.

[Stoat]

I meant to post to someone else.

Awww...  no worries FRiend, I was beginning to worry that a memo had gone around that I hadn't received  :-)

I hope that you will be able to find whoever it was you were looking for, and best wishes to you and yours   :-)

Cheers!

My daughter was a paramedic, and when the ambulances were called to the projects, there was always a crowd - lots of people standing around with nothing to do. Every so often, something would set them off and they’d attempt to overturn the ambulance, assault the EMTs, etc. You’re talking about a very mindless crowd that simply hangs out all day waiting to cause trouble.

We need to end welfare and illegal immigration. Put these "nothing to do" people into the "jobs that Americans won't do". We don't need illegal immigrants, what we need is some leaders with the guts to call for an end to welfare.

I prey for the safety of your daughter and her coworkers.
