Thanks for pointing out that you're NOT a man of your word. Saves me the trouble.

How was what I said one of the "stupider" comments made in this thread?
It took my comments well past anything that I've said or supported.
Action_Can_Do said:From what you've said, police cannot possibly be too heavily armed to do their job.
Quite wrong.
You wrote this,
By your logic all cops should be armed with chemical weapons and hand grenades.
Those tools have no place in the police arsenal. The job of a police officer is to enforce the law using a minimum of force. Those tools do not offer a force option. They are fatal. You could have asked if I endorsed those killing weapons, but instead you chose to insinuate that I approved of them.
Action_Can_Do said:In the town I live in, police actually have fully automatic weapons at their disposal. The local news recently did a story about it. And I live in a small town. To be any more heavily armed they would need hand grenades!
There are many tools in between "fully automatic weapons" and hand grenades.
Action_Can_Do said:Oh, and by the by, I'm not a coward.
Your "hit and run" post (you may remember that you said that you were posting and then leaving the thread) was the act of a coward. You gave highly misleading information (and that's being kind) and then said that you would not return.

Quacks like a duck …
Action_Can_Do said:I am a victim of police abuse though.
I'm sure that you are. The light REALLY WAS yellow. An officer searched your car even though you didn't give consent. The police beat you up for no reason. The police stopped you just because you're (fill in the minority of your choice here). Heard it many times.
But since you're so vague I'll freely admit that perhaps you really are a victim of police abuse. Why don't you give us some details. Perhaps the incident number of the complaint that you filed? How about the case number for the lawsuit that you won?
Action_Can_Do said:A disturbingly common event where I live it seems.
One is too many. I eagerly await the information about your particular incident. Since it's so "common" perhaps you can give us a few links. Since it's so common I'm sure the ACLU has gotten involved and you have news stories to support your accusations.
Action_Can_Do said:I am a firm believer in keeping the police and the weapons they "need" in check.
Doesn't look as if you've having much success in that. As you told us your locals have FA weapons.
