Dallas. How sad

Butch Lambert said:
Bill, I believe people have jumped the gun on the accusations of what really happened in Baton Rouge and in Minnesota. I think this needs to play out before pointing at anybody. Have there been bad police shootings? Yes. Have police suffered from doing the right thing? Yes.

Butch, You are so right. The facts are out to be gathered.

Rick, I was aware of what you posted and also a lot of background on the Baton Rouge slaying. It would behoove all of us to restrain from making rash decisions by watching the tube and newspaper and what is being reported.

Butch,
I agree completely. This is not to say the links I provided have true information. But, I think we are all aware that the majority of the MSM is manipulated to work with an agenda.

Well, a**holes come in all colors. Black, white, brown, and colors in between, but an a**hole is an a**hole. It is not the race or the gun.

Absolutely ! Not sure what was in my post for you to quote it to state that...but I agree with what you said...for sure. I simply stated and meant that there is a segment of the population that is just looking for an excuse to start shooting. For blacks to specifically target white officers and just white people, may well be exactly what triggers something that could really escalate quickly.
 
I didn't mean to offend anyone with this thread. There are no A**holes here. We are the good guys.

Where do we go

It is indeed sad Bill. I don’t know what would make a Hater/Nut Case, think he could solve what he believes is a problem by murdering Cops, period. Whether they be White or some other Race,nationality.

This Hater is no different from the hater that Massacred all those people at the Gay Club in Florida or the 2015 attack on the Dallas PD,Headquarters Office.(Luckily no one was injured). Some of these sick bastards feel compelled to commit senseless acts because of the voices in their heads.


I worked in Law Enforcement for 30 years. I’ve seen many instances where white cops were exonerated for killing Black male suspects. Some cases justifiable, some not. There seemed to be an institutionalized fear among the rank and file, of working in minority neighborhoods. If you were unlucky enough to get assigned to one of these, economically depressed neighborhoods, the first line of defense was to arm yourself with the biggest and baddest gun and be quick on the draw.

My career experiences, in no way, Condones the actions of an admitted racist. This kind of behavior is not reflective of the Black Community. "All lives matter"

Some one asked,Where do we go? I think Education,Basic Training, a tough(Police) applicant screening process and a community outreach program is a place to start.

Troubles will continue because......

our "illustrious" leaders continue to make excuses and allowances for the "so-called downtrodden". We are a country governed by LAWS.....and when we fail to enforce these hard-won laws we insult the memory of the heroes who died so we all could live in peace. Our present-day president has failed us for seven and a half years. We will soon have the opportunity to correct this problem by VOTING. If y'all fail to vote ....you suffer the consequences of the lawlessness that can follow. In the meantime we must teach our children to respect the laws and the police who enforce these laws. Charity may begin at home....but so does Respect....lest we forget.

I have been privileged to enjoy the shooting sports for 75 years. I hope to keep it a sport and not a protective need.

I wish y'all well.

It is. The media is too lazy to print the full title so have assigned BLM(Black lives matter)-- Now where is it written that Caucasian lives matter just as much? Since apx 1960 the establishment has been bending over backwards to dole out our tax dollars to the @#$$%^^^%$$#$#$^&*(*&^%$ segment of our society whom have made it their duty in life to abuse it to the max. This ideology has not gone un-noticed by another relatively new segment of our stateside society ( unfortunately labeled by our Government as Caucasian) that are employing the same mythology; and as a subculture in the western world, world wide. Course there are good and bad of any description- never hear much about the good cause that don't make headlines nor does it fit with certain parties agendas whether here or abroad.
 
We should have drawn the line when folks began eating with their forks upside down...we didn't and now it's "the thing".
