  1. When I watched the video, I was most concerned with his actions because the other two cops did not seem at all concerned with the women video taping their actions. They definately didn't feel threatened by her. I'm not surprised that the charges are being dropped, no good DA is going to go forward with a case they can't possibly win. Anyways, what else is going on in the world???
  2. I'm 50 / 50 on this one. Cop clearly could have done it different, and the other two cops clearly didn't care that she was taping them. Other hand, I wouldn't want her standing behind me either (although, I didn't really see that she was behind the cop who seemed to have a big problem with it). Traffic stops are inherently dangerous, so I give a bit to the cops, but for me the worst part is the other two cops that clearly didn't care that she was filming. It is tough being a cop, but this guy should have made better decisions. Actually, they both should have made better decisions. Legally, he may be totally within the law I don't know. I would have never done this when I was a uniformed cop.
  3. So that makes it bad? I prefer to think it's an oldie but a goodie......
  4. A little joke along the lines of this topic..... A man who was very active in the church and teaching God’s word was visited by God himself one day. God said to him, “Son, you have always been faithful and have always spread my word. I want to reward you for your dedication, so I am going to grant you one wish that I will make happen as a token of my gratitude to you.” The man thought for a long while, and finally, he came to his conclusion and told God, “Lord, I really love driving my motorcycle along the pacific highway, so my wish is to have a bridge from the pacific coast to Hawaii so that I can enjoy riding my motorcycle there too.” God looked at him for a few moments and then said, “Son, I’m disappointed in you, I wanted you to ask for something that would help all mankind, yet you were selfish and asked for something you wanted for yourself. I can build this bridge, it will exhaust many of the earths natural resources, but I can and will build it for you if you want it.” The man though again for a few moments, and said, “I am truly sorry God, I was selfish, and I want to change my wish. I want men to be able to know what women are thinking. I no longer want men to have to wonder why a woman is crying, they will just know. Men everywhere will no longer have to ask a woman, “What’s Wrong?”, because we will know what is wrong. This is what I want for all mankind. God looked at the man for a few moments, and then replied, . . . . . “Do you want two lanes or four lanes on the bridge?”
  5. Thats not a bad deal, but my problem with SouthWest has never been about price. My problem is when they have the smallest delay it usually results in missed connections (which you can't make up with later flights), or cancelled flights. Their lack of direct flights (unless you are flying to Chicago (Midway) or Baltimore) almost alway results in problems. This is just my opinion of course, but I usually am willing to pay $40 - $80 more if it puts me on one of the major airlines (not including US Airwaste). That is all......
  6. So, essentially we would end up taking the money we spend on prisons and put it into rehab facilities. Brilliant! Somehow I don't see this working out to well for society either.....
  7. Congrats! Awesome day to get married. It's the day that my wife and I got married in 2005!
  8. Not sure this is 100% correct, and a couple of days late, but I've been away.... SUPREME HEADQUARTERS ALLIED EXPEDITIONARY FORCES Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere, march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world. Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely. But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory! I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory! Good luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking. Dwight Eisenhower
  9. This was a city rule, made by the City administration. I don't believe that the PD supported the decision for the city to keep the money. If you read the article, any turned in monies would go into the city's general fund. Some people want to blame the cops for everything.
  10. Again, federal law applies on Indian Lands. Marijuana is illegal in any quantity according to 21 USC which would apply on any Indian nation. Just saying......
  11. As far as I can tell, she must have been a temp employee on a (up to) appointment, or a truly seasonal appointment (1080 hours). I have not seen a thing about federal employees getting laid off. RIF's in the federal service are extremely complicated and rarely happen. I agree, no federal employees are getting laid off anytime soon.
  12. This is the only reason we haven't completely dumped them and put all the billions we give them into India.
  13. Glad I did a search before creating my post of the exact same topic. What a crappy idea by the City of Dallas as a way to increase thier coffers. Why would the city believe that they could keep money that didn't belong to them? If the girl found the money, and no one claimed it, its hers. She was the last legal owner. People should be up in arms over this. What a cheap shot. So much for encouraging people to do the right thing and turn in something they found.
  14. Looks like this, Capybara, only missing the hair.
  15. Federal law applies on sovereign nation land.
  16. Lets just hope that the postal service is better at delivering the food to the needy than they are at delivering the mail to my neighborhood.....
  17. I'm not DEA, but I will confess to being on a few task forces over the years. Also, I've never met a DEA agent I didn't like.
  18. Sounds like you have a good line on a decent supplier.... Maybe you could put me in touch with them.....
