"built by unsubstantiated , imaginative claims of what took place. You failed miserably in substantiating your comments that a majority of the poster failed to properly evaluate. If your aim is to hinder the law enforcement effort through this type of article, ( and I do not believe this is the case from reading your patriotic military background)you will not succeed. It is advisable for you to get your facts provable before making statements of this nature."

The pictures are worth a thousand words. Furthermore no arrests were made. That means the drivers had guns pointed at them and some were forced to lay cuffed face down on the ground, because they were deemed to be threats on the basis of the vehicle they were driving, not because they offered resistance, or brandished a weapon.

You do not point a loaded gun at someone unless they are a real threat and you do not force people at gunpoint to lay face down on the ground without just cause. You exaggerate greatly when you say all they are inconveinienced for is five minutes, it is more like 5hours and some were not allowed to wait at ease, but were forced to the ground to eat dirt. That is the complaint, not that the shutdown was conducted.

You can tell all of that from the picture?

How true, however, I read in one of the earlier posts where someone asked to have the guns pointed out to them in the picture, and, unless I have overlooked it, I can find no guns in what is shown on the picture. Can you please point them out to me?

I did not say this, you must be referring to someone else.

No... a thousand words about what actually happened here would be worth a thousand pictures.

Because you saw two pictures, one cuffed on the ground and the other not, and you just made a whole series of assumptions to fit your spin. Now they both ate dirt and were held five hours. You just made that up!
