What a tool.

One wonders what the point was of bringing in the Highway Patrol.

Evidentially to observe.

"Johnson assured those at the news conference that police would not enforce the curfew with armored trucks and tear gas but would communicate with protesters and give them ample opportunity to leave. Nixon and Johnson were flanked by numerous local elected officials, including U.S. Rep. William Lacy Clay Jr., who urged Johnson to be flexible with the midnight curfew."

"On Friday night, Greg Thomas didn’t see the familiar faces of protesters who have taken to the streets each night this week. Instead, he saw new people, younger, more eager for a confrontation with police. The 28-year-old former Marine said he left as quickly as he could when he heard people talking about getting their handguns.

“There’s three agendas out there,” Thomas said. “People who want to party, people who want to be martyrs and get killed by police, and the people here to protest.”"

"Nixon said the U.S. Department of Justice is beefing up its civil rights investigation of the shooting."

I realize that the timelines are a bit off but does anyone else get a strange,deja vu creepy feeling when reading an article from 2014 including the names Nixon,Johnson,& the Black Panthers.And then Justice Department and civil rights investigation?
It's almost like a bad Hollywood re-make joke.

What the hell is the point of the curfew if they are going to be really soft with it...

Smart dude here. Unass the AO when trouble is brewing. He's pretty much nailed it.

No *expletive deleted*it. It's sounding like some of the bad times from the '60s/70s out there

The governor did not handle himself well in the news conference.

He was either petrified or stupid.

Too bad this couldn't have happened on his first term, and maybe helped us get rid of him sooner.


Here's what's been going on since the curfew went into effect. Or didn't.

Yea, I'm watching CCN's live feed.

Lot of tear gas - they just need to arrest these clowns.

ETA smoke not gas.....yet.

So I just read a story that had a very short, almost aside, that the feds tried to stop the release of the robbery footage. Why try to suppress key evidence? I have a good idea why of course, but am hoping Joe Average American begins to ask the question as well.

Which is it?

Using optics to get a closer look, or using optics to aim (as in select and prepare to shoot)?

Will you next be calling out hunters that use their rifle-mounted scopes to check out the terrain looking to see if they can spot whatever it is they'd like to hunt (you know, aim at, shoot, and kill)?

What, if any, difference is there between the cops and "overwatch" teams in Afghanistan?  Neither is glassing the area with the intent of shooting everything that comes into their field of view.  (And I understand the cops have much stricter ROE that the folks in the 'Stan.)

stay safe.

As a hunter, (and if you watch any hunting TV show), you use your bino's to get a closer view, identify your target, your NEVER use your firearm's scope for that purpose (Rule #2).  We also stress this in Hunter Safety Ed.

And the difference between the cops and an "Overwatch" Team in Afghanistan is that THE POLICE ARE NOT AT WAR WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.  Or at least they should not be.

Because it shows a hulking brown shaking a little store clerk like a terrier shakes a rat?

The image of Michael Brown the feds, the race baiters, and the media wants you to see:



Yes, that is pulled straight off the NAACP web site.

I don't know about you, but an innocent looking 12 y.o. boy didn't rob that store.

And the snow job appears to have worked, because it looks like most of America believes it's the innocent kid walking down the street who was GUNNED DOWN by the RRRRRRAAACCCCCCIIIIIISSSSSTTTTTT EEEEEVVIIIILLLLL JBT...when the truth is quite a bit *expletive deleted*ing different.

A pouring rain hit the area shortly before midnight. It had rained off and on throughout the evening, but the midnight storms almost seemed providential. Police lights flashed across the wet pavement. Officers, already soaked, stood in their places.

Well, I did pray that it would rain last night.

Agreed.

Except -

Police are not issued binos.  They are "forced" to use what they have.

Cops are never trained on the Four Rules (or so it seems).  Hunter Safety Ed. is not on the Academy curriculum.

Who says the cops are not at war with the American citizens?  Have you read the stuff coming out of DHS and the Fusion Centers, or on some of the cop boards?  Officer Krupke does not help Granny across the street any more because he's convinced she is wearing a suicide vest, just like he's antciptating that you are going to ignite your car bomb when he comes up to hand you your citation for going three miles over the speed limit.*

I don't agree with what's going on.  I just call them like I see them.

stay safe.

* - It's getting seriously serious out there.  The county PD here has made it official (as in a disciplinary issue) that cops will wait for backup before approaching any vehicle they stop after dark, or any vehicle already on the side of the road regardless of time of day.

You laugh (so did I), but these are the numbskulls that somehow feel qualified to write about firearms issues, and are taken at their word by a whole hoard of other numbskulls who, sadly, vote.

You're being sarcastic, right? Right?

I believe that was sarcasm. Can anyone confirm?

That's from the same playbook thjey used in the Trayvon Martin shooting. All the photos we saw of poor little Trayvon were from years ago, when he was about 12. They didn't want us to know he was taller and more muscular than poor George.

Same deal here. In that security video, Brown towers over the store clerk, and he looks pretty husky on top of that. I wouldn't want to go mano a mano with him.
