    Jury Acquits Texas Man For Murder Of Escort Who Refused Sex

    I wouldn't get to hung up over the law. I'm not sure how many of you have been able to sit in on jury trials but the law really is irrelevant when it comes time for the trial. It is all about who can put the best spin on what happened in front of the jury. If you can afford a good lawyer in a...

    Southwest is about 290-300 for your time frame. I faced the same situation a couple of years ago and ended up driving it.

    was this shooting justified?

    Actually she was probably laughing because she was high. A person who has their mind working right would have been out of the house as soon as they heard the shots. Guy probably would have been justified if not for the last head shot.

    Wannabe parking vigilantes

    This time there was no damage. And apparently someone saw you hit the other car. All the other guy has to do is find a scratch on his bumper and then you have to fight a claim whether you put it there or not. It may be a bullshit claim but it is still going to be a hassle. All I'm saying is that...

    I'm not sure why you would risk an at fault accident on the good will of the owner of the car you are hitting.

    Court sets new rules for taser use

    or because people don't like to be held accountable for their actions. in reality its generally a few bad apples and high profile incidents that give cops bad reputations.

    Court sets new rules for taser use

    and the only point i have been trying to make is that waiting for force to be used against you before you use force exposes yourself to an element of risk. that is all. Its a personal decision that each officer makes on there own how to proceed with the situation. No two people assess risk...

    Court sets new rules for taser use

    a person asking for directions is doing nothing wrong. a person illegally protesting is doing something wrong. I personally wouldn't just walk up to a person peacefully protesting and spray him in the face with pepper spray just to jack him up. I was just saying there are tools generally...

    Court sets new rules for taser use

    so if force should only be used to counter force then should i wait for some asshole to shoot at me before i respond with my force? what if the passive protestor decides to put a knife in your chest just as you put hands on him? Good luck dragging him to the car with a knife in your chest.

    i think he is talking about passive resistance, in which case there is always oc/pepper spray.

    Court sets new rules for taser use

    the problem for police officers is that action beats reaction almost all the time when it comes to the use of force. an individual that is refusing to comply and has not yet been searched is extremely dangerous. i'm not sure what kind of taser the officer had but from 20ft+ away that is a hell...

    Cutting taxes for the rich does not stimulate the economy.

    basically break it down like this: give a rich man a dollar, he doesn't give a shit give a poor man a dollar, he'll spend it on a fast food dollar menu point: rich person won't instanly consume dollars saved by reduced taxes

    NFL player pulled over outside hospital while rushing to be with dying relative

    cop technically did nothing wrong, however, unfortunately he was too interested in talking to take a moment to listen and think about what was being said to him(failure to show any empathy basically). It is really irrelevant if he gets fired or not because realistically he will never be able to...

    Buying a first washer/dryer

    go to bestbuy, they probably have at least 18 months no interest financing, i got 24 months when I got mine, $45x18= $810, they also deliver for free i believe so that would solve another one of your problems.
