Thank you for your post! But, er, which patronizing response are you talking about?
To: Tench_Coxe
Perhaps they did, but the guns in the pictures sure don't seem to indicate it. Would you please point out the guns in the picture to me. I cannot see a gun anywhere but I do assume the picture showing the female officer behind the car door had a gun drawn, but I cannot make one out.
Thanks

The point is, she was deeply offended. You understand that, right?

Twenty snipers at once = martial law. Coming to a republic near you. The terrorists are accomplishing their goals.

But we know that all of those things have very little to do with catching a sniper. How do we know that? You presume that you know what law enforcement knows. Wrong. Also, you presume that law enforcement had no basis to dro that dragnet and profile those specific types of vans. Why on earth would they do that if they were not satisfied they had enough credible evidence to put the men and resources into that overwhelming task! I presume they are acting on some level of verifiable information. (They debunked several witnesses, so we know they are working hard to make sure the info they use is credible.)
If its credible information, and probable cause exists, than it is absolutely related to catching this sniper. Of the 1000 LE officials now on the Job, do you think that any off them might have some idea of how to employ resources based on the hard evidence they have and we don't. Get real.
This is all about catching the sniper, and making sure that in doing so, the rights of average americans , under the Constitution, are not abridged. as I said before, bring me one person whose rights were wrongly trampled in a dragnet, and I will evaluate their case for free, and if meritorious, I will file it for free.

Oh no doubt. Military checkpoints, neighbors turing in neighbors, and hysterical Americans cheering it on or flat out ignoring it.

I've had enough of this thread too. I've tried to keep a civil tone throughout but now it is getting out of hand. I stand by my earlier statement that I will apologize to the Virginia police if it turns out that there was a valid reason to take the two men in the pictures out of the car at gunpoint and lie them (or at least one of them) face-down on the ground and hand-cuffed like escaped felons.
If however, these two men were, as I suspect, pulled out of the vans at gunpoint simply because they happened to be driving white vans down I-95 last night, then these tactics are just plain wrong and un-American.
I know that we all want to catch the snipers. Personally, I want to see them strung up by their balls and made to die a horrible death (after a fair and speedy trial, of course) for what they have done.
But we cannot subject our good citizens to the kind of treatment shown in those photographs that I posted at the top of this thread. This is not the America I know. This is not the America I dedicated four years of my life to defending. We are better than that.
Enough said. Over and out.
