Ummm - like the obaminations fist bump? WHICH, the day they did that, a gang banger said it was a gang sign - and that was hushed up and sunk under the radar real quick....
Where are our investigative reporters of old?
Is the fist bump a sign of the Black Liberationists? The ones who have the pot boiling just under the surface, ready for the "Quiet Riots"?
Someone better dam* well start looking into this stuff..
The "Quiet Riots" the obamination alluded to may well happen if he DOESN"T get elected and may also happen if he doesn't - they've been simmering too long. They want Black Power and Reparations - and they won't go quietly into the night after coming so close.
Listen to the obamination in his own words - and this time, you can take him at his word. And you'd better....

live link next post - maybe should bookmark it and NOT FORGET - put this together with his plan to form a National Police Force as big as all the military together - and we'd better start deciding if we want to stop this man now or stock up on boot polish = for those Jack Boots.
I guess I don’t look at natural catastrophes as natural. Was NOL bad before katrina besides the gay parades?
Ok, that cool that you don’t consider a Hurricane a natural event.
I lived there from 1981-1986. I don’t remember gay parades. I think all that started in the early 90’s.
The last time I was there was in 1995 and had two bad experiences with low lifes in the Qtr. Low lifes that use to didn’t hang out there back in the early 80’s.
I never liked it the town. Weather had a lot to do with it.

yeah, this is pretty brazen, but it is new orleans.
Anyone approching me with a drawn firearm and screaming wouldn’t make it another second.
Ahh, the Constabulary of Dunces. Gotta love ‘em.
Kinda like SF Republican
Not really. Wind damage was only moderate. Flooding resulted from human screw-ups. If the Army Corps had done its job right, Katrina would have been history long ago.
You been going to gay parades too long.
That’s all you can say for yourself? I thought so.
I agree with everyone that the officer's behavior was terrible. She should at least be suspended and probably fired. Brandishing a gun that way is illegal. (...at least for everyone else.)
I think that "protect and serve" is and was a bad PR campaign for LEOs. It completely changed the expectations and purpose of law enforcement in the public's mind.
Instead of "protect and serve", the motto would be more accurate if it was "investigate and arrest".
That's what police are supposed to do.
It's like Rush explaining that the military is to "kill people and break things". They aren't a humanitarian services organization. They aren't the Welcome Wagon. It's wrong to use them that way.
Similarly, we shouldn't mistakenly expect police officers to "protect and serve".
They can't "protect", because they nearly always get to respond after the crime has been committed; they simply can't be everywhere at once.
They "serve" only in the same way as any other government employee should serve: Do the job you were hired to do, and do it well.
Police officers aren't teachers and shouldn't be used as such.
Police officers aren't the media relations branch of the city government, and shouldnt' be used as such.
Police officers should be investigating suspected violations of the law and arresting the suspected violators.
That's all. End of story.
“...They can’t “protect”, because they nearly always get to respond after the crime has been committed; they simply can’t be everywhere at once...”
Which is EXACTLY why I will ALWAYS carry a sidearm. Their only job is to draw a chalkline around the body after the crime, and wait for the coroner to show up.
Meantime, I will depend on myself, as a FREE CITIZEN has the RIGHT to do.

goto any 'big city' and you cant swing a dead cat w/o hitting leo and being fined for littering...at the same time their violent crime rates are thru the roof and in many corners of these places the local wont even come out at night lest they be thugs as well...
