Well at least thats one split second option you wont have to consider, as far as the others open to you they could be pretty bleak. You makes the choice you deals with it. 
By the way firearms can make a fashion statement as attested to by Cathy here.
 
And heres a couple more chicks who have decided to pack a little heat.

Demeralda, You are on here arguing with at least 2 people who know use of force, and train on it regularly as a requirement of their job. These officers actions were correct. Other officers know it, and so does the prosecuter.
You stated in an earlier post that all I care about is procedure. No, thats not all that I care about, but it weighs heavily on decisions that I make when I'm on duty. Officers who don't follow policy and procedures run the risk of criminal, and civil liability if they don't. |

I just can't agree with you, sorry. I'm familiar with the "blue wall", so I wouldn't expect any cop to agree. Nor any prosecutor -- they're all on the same side.
As for your second comment on procedure, that I do understand, and I don't blame you for feeling you must. Philosophically, I just feel that we have responsibilities and reason that go beyond the letter of the law. And it disappoints me to see those procedures violated when it comes to friends, family, and other cops. |

If me or Public D had said this it would have been lights out. Where is the righteous indignation? Where are the "elitist liberal" rants? Where is the anger?
Clearly she has a spell on you.
btw
I think that shooting the woman was excessive force. The situation didn't have to end in her death. |

LOL Squash, you're silly 
I think twotap recognizes that I take a group beating sometimes on here, and accordingly withholds a bit.
I'm sorry to report, however, that my school was not that liberal. Too many econ majors.
It was a nice crowd for "fair and balanced" debate though. LOL |

Plus lets not forget that Squash or PD are not "thin long haired blondes". Of course I could be wrong.

Actually lately some of her posts have sort of had the opposite effect.  |

Apparently it takes an amply endowed well educated woman to possess gonads large enough to express necessary righteous indignation at incessant conservative dogma dominating this board. Demeralda is a lightning rod for discourse and dissent- a precise counter punch to Gerry Cooney tactics practiced here. The decline and fall of America in 2008 is a testament to the last two plus decades of conservative rule, either in the executive branch or in the Legislative branch during the 1990’s under Clinton, a Democratic poseur.
I’d suggest we begin learning Mandarin. With our National Debt now at $9.2 trillion (China holding IOUs worth about $390 Billion of it) and over $322 Billion of consumer goods now imported from the aforementioned the world’s most populous nation holds much leverage over us. Now I’m not a xenophobe, I embrace cultural diversity. However, it is ironic how in the name of free enterprise and cheap goods touted by conservatives we have buried ourselves in toxins and red ink from China. The consumer product safety commission employs one inspector to oversee the safety of all toys sold in the U.S. Who is looking out for us? Certainly not the corporate overlords and their screaming shareholders. Just another example of no accountability. The conservative movement has assured that.
So rather than engaging in some sort of cyber suck off contest, I would suggest those on this board mired in monolith (come on- no one is going to take your guns away) to reexamine both Liberal and Libertarian values. The word liberal has been maligned more than Sangiovese (or maybe just stomped on a lot) while the idea of Libertarian seems oblique to most. Here’s a couple of questions- why is the use of Marijuana against the law? Why doesn’t most of America allow same sex marriages or civil unions? The answer is because conservative leaders, in concert with a twisted sense of theology have prevented it. And packaged it politically. Or the Abortion issue- which has turned the American Catholic Church into a delivery system for Republicans.
Liberalism brought us OSHA (hey, I like to know what those chemicals in the corner are going to do to me- and I can’t count on my company out of the goodness of their heart to tell me it will destroy my lungs) and the modern civil rights movement. A Libertarian doesn’t want the government being the moral police. And that’s why Reagan was wrong equating his party post 1964 being Libertarians. Not when you’re in bed with guys like Falwell, Robertson, et al.
So bring it on, if you wish- just don’t cut and paste- give me your own words. Likely, I’ll wind up like a lone Wildebeest hunted by hyenas. And oh- Demeralda- I could use a little back up- or a verbal lambasting. |
