    Are you racist by any chance? Because your post does lean that direction. Maybe not intentionally, but still........
    Maybe you can finish the but still.......

    How would you describe the man in the yellow slicker? How would you describe his behavior and how do you describe his position in humanity?

    What is your definition of society?

    It seems to me when someone stoops to a point of using a term like "them" just seems rather racist in my view of things.

    Them or us. Yeah, keep preaching that. Let us know how it works out for ya.

    But still...was giving you the benefit of the doubt. That now seems like a mistake on my part in regards to you.

    Carry on there. I'm going to just sit back and watch you dig that hole deeper!

    I don't need the reward. I'd turn him in for free, and hoped he had a gun on him when the police caught up with him.

    Ya know, armed and resisting arrest!

    Axxe55,

    LAW-ABIDING persons SELDOM turn-in a vicious criminal because they usually don't KNOW any vicious predators.

    WHO turns them IN to the police are FRIENDS & FAMILY MEMBERS.
    (I New Orleans, I once had a woman turn-in her own brother to me for ARMED ROBBERY for a payment of 500.oo cash. = I paid her HAPPILY, as she told me exactly where he was less than 15 minutes before.)
    ADDENDA: My partner, Paula D___________, asked the woman WHY she turned-in her younger brother & she, looked at Paula like she was STUPID/CRAZY & then said, "I wanted to buy some rock."
    (rock = crack.)

    yours, satx

    I had one of Compton’s former mayors as a guest/resident on my tier years ago. If memory serves he was convicted of embezzlement. But I can’t say for certain what’s his crime was.

    prisondoc,

    Fwiw, I once had a NOLA Parish councilman as a "guest in my car". = He later got 12 years in Angola for contracting fraud.

    Axxe55,

    To those of us who wore a star/shield & carried a handgun for a living, "them" were the CRIMINALS & "us" were other LEOs.
    (IF that makes me a "racist", so be it.)
    Those who were NOT criminals or LEOs were referred to as "citizens", "neutrals" or "civilians".

    I absolutely agree with your statement.
    That's not how he meant it.

    Us and them was not used in that context SATX. As that I have had and still have family in LE, I think you can surmise where my loyalties lie in that regard.

    I think CC caught my meaning of my context of "us and them" .

    Which they and what society.
    The ones who fall in the category of, VICIOUS CRIMINAL PREDATORS, RIOTERS, LOOTERS & others,, are they and the society is the one of free people who follow the constitution and the laws, while respecting the officer who requests your participation, and the symbols of America.

    Today's society is appearing to be an upside down world and from a different planet than the one I grew up in. I personally am tired of this "Political Correctness" being forced on us. It's ok to rob, steal, burn, destroy, hurt others but let someone try and protect themselves and they are deamed the criminal. It is true that a few LEO's are racist just as civilians have a few who are racist but by in large I don't think our society and police force are racist now like there were in the previous century/s. Most are just trying to live peacefully. Having said that, I am going to go out on a limb and say that what I have seen of some of the protestors (not all but a few) apparently are racist. If you say Blue Lives matter or even All Lives Matter you are likely to be assaulted and even killed like one person was and others beatin This has to Stop. What is happening today is no longer about George Floyd but an all out Anarchist attack on our country and its people. In addition there are those in local and State government that are either complicet or turning their heads to it because of fear of confrontation. Either way they need to be replaced if they cannot or will not do their job to protect people and property of their cities and state. Defunding Police is wrong and getting rid of them ludicrous and a "Brain Dead" idea! Period


    Also, concerning the two officers that were shot, they are reported to still be in ICU but in stable condition. Let's keep them in our prayers, pray for this nation and the person that did this be brought to swift justice. THIS NEEDS TO STOP.

    Everyone keeps reporting that the police need more training but it looks like the training may need to be done one the side of the subject of police contact. There is a protocol that needs to be followed when in an engagement with an officer. It does not include fighting, taking an officer's weapon, pointing a weapon at the officer or escaping. The consequences are usually bad.

    Apparently in Pennsylvania they shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves against a crazed man wielding a knife.

    Sorry, but I'm not buying that reply in the least. You could have responded with that answer three days ago.

    Personally, I think you knew you dug a hole and have had time to read the other replies made in this thread, and you knew you said the wrong thing, in the wrong way. So you had to figure a way out of that hole.

    Now I seriously doubt that you are a card carrying member of the KKK, but from you reply on this thread, and the tone on other threads similar to this, I happen to think you do have some prejudices, against certain groups of people. Might even be a little bigoted.

    My wife and I have said this very same thing. My best friend from work is African American and she said she has taught her children from a very young age “When a Police Officer stops you do exactly as they say , do not argue and keep your hands where they can see them”. I have heard others say the very same thing so it bewilders us why do so many try to fight, get belligerent, argue and then wonder why the outcome is never a good one.

    Doesn't matter what color a person is, everybody should handle a stop this way.
