Oh, I probably should of been more clear, my bad.
I meant links to the actual stats etc.
Actual stats aren't necessary when you have righteous indignation on your side. Besides, stats can be made to say whatever you want them to say.

I bet if they busted in for a drug search warrant and found only a used crack pipe, the OP wouldn't be concerned.

I would be.

Here's hoping the DA has more common sense than the PD and doesn't press charges.

Too bad nobody will lose their jobs over this.

You are why they coined the term useful idiot. It is fun to let you go on a little bit and dig the hole. The blatant disregard for statistics is a phrase oft repeated by those who do no understand them. You may benefit from a statistics tutorial (these are online). This will introduce you to some basic statistical concepts and substantially aid in understanding the world around you.

Earl, I am on my phone, but if you google "ACLU militarization of police" they have a website dedicated to this epidemic. And yes, dank, it is one. There are plenty of stats on their site about this matter. If you google "map police raids" you can see a map of botched raids, of which there are scores. The ACLU site has a far more professional argument against this, though, including the stat I gave you about less than half resulting in charges of any kind.

Not if you already know and see how stats are played with.
Get down to the raw numbers, check and see if certain people were only polled etc.


Doppel, ty, getting busy here too. I bookmarked the search and will get back to it soon

are you seriously comparing a spent shotgun shell from a hunting trip to a crack pipe?


I'm a moderate, but honestly people like you keep pushing me further into being conservative. Do liberals actually believe this, or is this guy a troll?

Used crack pipe is more dangerous than spent shotgun shell?

No. I have been informed that it is impossible to analyze data without suppressing our internal biases.

This is f*in ridiculous.

One one side you have a babysitter in texas with a slap on a wrist because she got a child killed by being careless with a fully loaded gun.

On the other hand you have these badass cops busting down a dangerous financial adviser and his daughter for not even possessing a gun.

Is there no common sense in government anymore???

Wow it will be interesting to see what comes out of the trial since he declined to plead guilty to lesser charges.

Local one that is even more startling in my opinion:
http://www.nbc29.com/story/23717565/police-finish-review-of-va-abc-wrongful-arrest

Basically, armed and ununiformed enforces of the ABC (alcoholic beverage control, state-run liquor authority in VA) assaults and points guns at college girl carrying bottled water. They tried to prosecute her for attacking the agents because she fled in her vehicle from the multiple armed assailants.

If the family had a dog, they would have killed it.

If the man had the means to protect his family from home invaders, they probably would have shot and killed him before announcing themselves.

You, it would seem; you don't even know when you're being insulted. I will dumb it down further next time. My applogies, stinky doo doo pants.
Are you copping out here? Since I thought you insulted me in the post I quoted, your assertion seems to mean that you didn't insult me. The only way that would be possible would be if the post I quoted of yours was sarcasm as well. This is why I'm asking if you are copping out. There is no way that post I quoted of yours could be classified as sarcasm. The best you could do would be hyperbole.

In the context of this thread the proper term is "SWATing out".
