Knee jerk?
The police are sh%#ing on the 2A and you say we are having knee jerk reactions?
Yes, knee jerk. Look at any article on FR concerning the police and within 10 posts you will see reactions like the ones here. The police have no power that isn't given them by the people. Don't like things? Then change them! The reactions here are more like an Anarchists than folks who respect the rule of law.
BTW, look at my posting history. I'm no defender of excessive police action. Too many folks here post without thinking first.
