Police Checkpoint Proceedures

It didn't even match. Wrong color and make/model. Shoot first, identify second.

Those houses you see in the distance? Yeah, those got peppered too.

I didn't even think about the houses. Talk about a rude awakening. Did you notice the tires are flat also? Tactical response, or bad shots?

Let's see, we're looking for a big black male in a Nissan car, and we have two Hispanic females in a Toyota pickup? Close enough, light 'em up!

Yeah, they were justified. Biggest mistake in that incident was the women settling for only $4.2 million.

Personally I worry less about terrorists than gangs. I completed the local "Citizen's Police Academy" earlier this year and while there was discussion/information given regarding terrorism, the larger emphasis was on drug trafficing and gang activity. When you see some of the weaponry that drug cartels and gangs have and use, it helps understand why local PD's need to up-armor. To a point.

Right, but it doesn't help when our borders are wide open. Also, when the military equipment is used against the people in order to lock down entire cities like Boston was recently, there is a problem with that and a clear sign that it is out of control. especially When the gov starts labling citizens and vets as terrorists which is a big red flag indication of how it could be used on the American people... It is getting way out of hand, has been for some time now.

Thank you for being the prime example of my point. You have no idea what that officer is doing and yet you want to criticize him, ignorantly, for doing what he must. Ignorance must truly be bliss...

Actually I was criticizing you for trotting out the standard talking points.

But the again if you really think cops protect people when they are sleeping, well that's a lot of kool-aid. If that was really the case well no one needs guns because the cops will protect you.

Uh huh sure.

Talk about ignorance is bliss
