The Harvard Professor vs. The cops

Its all over the news, and I have seen that picture of the irate College Prof. on the front porch of his own home. I think a lot of mistakes were made. If I were a cop, I wouldn't take a guy in for being angry in his own house area, unless he made threats. If I were the professor I wouldn't have gotten so angry, after all the cop was just doing his job. If some other black guy had been attempting to break down the door, or so it seemed, wouldn't you have loved for the cops to show up so they can arrest him? Thank you for saving my house kind officer. You have to understand how it looked from the cop's point of view. And you also have to understand how it looks from the african american home owner's point of view. Well I am glad its all settled down now, whats that you say? President Obama called the police officer's action stupid? Oh great, here we go again. Let a dead dog lie. Geez.

TASER DEATH, yet another kid dies by taser

Another kid dies of a taser shock. Another parent doesn't take responsibility for how she raised her kid. READ THIS FIRST...

Now that you are caught up. #1) Why does this kid think its ok to run away from the cops? It seems like instead of people believing in cops, they are drawing away from them more and more. Its not a good trend either. And this kid's mom is reinforcing the trend. Instead of saying ," my son made a poor choice, and now he is gone." She is blaming the very people who are supposed to protect her. Say there was another boy who was wanted for something and he got away from the cops. Then that boy goes and shoots her son while he is playing in the yard. I bet she would be the first person to raise cane about how the cops aren't doing their job, and they let this kid get away, and now her son got shot by him. I realize her boy is now dead, but she also needs to realize what he did, and how it would look from the cop's perspective. How many times have you watched cops and as soon as the pull the car over, someone tries to drive off, or some or all of the occupants bail out. How many times do they get caught, and how many times does it turn out they had warrants? The taser is an excellent alternative to THE BULLET. It helps the perpetrators and the cops in most instances. Cops don't have to fight them, the perps don't have to get beat up, or have a dog bite them. All they usually get is 2 little prong marks where those electrodes pierce their skin. While this article likes to tell you of all these other people that have gotten killed since the tasers started, they don't tell you how some( I have no idea what percentage, could be all of them for all I know) of these people were high on PCP, or cocaine, or Crystal Meth, when they get shot, which pushes their hearts beyond their capabilities. Maybe this poor kid had a heart murmur or the like, either way, none of this would have happened if he didn't run away in the first place. Trust police, you might think they are corrupt. But if they are or if they get out of line in some way it will be found out. You have to give them the benefit of the doubt, if you don't more and more things like this is going to happen. And who knows maybe they will outlaw the Taser because of things like this. And then we are back to "learning disabled" people getting shot instead of Tased. I think the chances of anyone surviving the latter are about 100,000x better. Don't quote my statistics:)

My Judge Shows

Well if you are ever at home between 11am and 4pm like me, then you might have flipped through all the judge shows that come on. I still believe that there is no other gauge of where our nation is going than watching one of these shows. Oh and also COPS is a really good gauge. You may think that "oh well these people are less educated and don't represent the majority of our society." Well that is true, but it is also true that these people are responsible for making more babies than the more educated people. Don't even get me started on why there should be licenses to make babies! (A subject for another blog). Things that I have learned from these shows: 1) Always get any kind of loan in writing, and duplicate, preferably with a witness. 2) Never loan anything to family members unless you just consider it a gift anyway. Because you probably won't get it back, and you really don't want that kind of bad blood in the family. I would say just don't lend money at all. 3) Any money you lend to your boyfriend/girlfriend during the relationship will become a "gift" in their eyes, because they won't want to pay it back after you break up. 4) Used car dealers are sleezebags who just want you to buy their car, and will weezel their way out of any type of warranty they may have. 5) Also if you bail your boyfriend out of jail, in court he will say "I never asked for the money, it was a gift." After you break up. The list goes on and on. This is one of the best educations you can get on liars, cheats, and thieves. Check out your local judge shows today!
