It really makes you wonder what has happened in some of these folks in their lives that causes them to make these kinds of decisions and wind up looking like this in their best years.



I'm sure the Femmo's will have a field day with this but she has a smile that could have taken her anywhere... Rather she's now full of sh1tty prison tats and will likely loose her kids. And still so young. Such a shame.

Shouldn't be charged. Yes, she may have jeopardized the safety of her children through gross negligence, but there is insufficient evidence to show that she had malicious intent.

Any cop involved in a shooting needs to be immediately tested for Steroids. Are these increased shootings "Roid Rage"?

some departments have hired people to do psych evals. one dept found that the psychiatrist maybe spent 20 minutes with hirees. another found that their psych was doing the evals over the phone. it was just a way for those clinics to make a few quick bucks.
we have a serious issue with who is hiring and training. we have mental health issues that are largely being ignored. we have troops returning with ptsd and nothing or next to nothing is done. we have police on the streets for years-what is done for their mental well being? over time, when one is confronted daily with the worst of society, that will have an effect.

we owe it to both the police and the citizenry to get this fixed.

"You're on fire! You're on fire, stupid," an officer could be heard yelling when the man who tried to start the blaze had his leg briefly catch fire. He was then arrested for assaulting an officer, Williams said during an evening news conference, after trying to bat away police seeking to douse the flames.


:eek:
he might want to find another way to protest, he doesn't seem too good with the whole fire thing.

All fine points. I had a lengthy psych written test to get hired as a security officer (likely the same test that evil Orlando shooter took, but different company), i know this is OBVIOUS but prospective hires are getting around these questions and answering the way they think will get them hired, only to show their true colors later. Again, not all security or cops but some bad apples are slipping through the hiring process and it is becoming more and more dangerous to both the citizens and fellow officers.

that's why they need to actually meet with someone. which is what that one city thought was being done, and then found out it wasn't. and another issue is that too often, when a patrolman shows maybe he is in the wrong line of work, the union or fellow officers, or both, close ranks around that person.
my husband worked with another electrician--a very bad one. he hated working with him. electricity doesn't play. I cannot imagine why a policeman would want to work with an inept officer, that only makes it more dangerous for him and everyone. those guys should be given desk jobs, or something. you have to have the right mentality. you can't take stuff personally, you have to stay calm under pressure. not everyone can do that.

>>>Ken Dean said the real imbalance wasn't with elected delegates but superdelegates, who are elected officials and party leaders. Eight of 10 Vermont superdelegates are men. The complaint offers possible remedies going forward, including adjustments to the superdelegation.<<<

So the *Equity Imbalance* {chortle} wasn't even with the delegates that were replaced, but rather the superdelegates that cannot be replaced....so...they.......oh boy.

At least it helps put their high priority on *Bathroom Equity* in focus.

Alex Wagner Un-Ironically Scoffs: ‘Being Presidential’ More Than ‘Being Able to Read a Teleprompter’
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kris...sidential-more

Wagner is a former MSNBC anchor and current Senior Editor of The Atlantic. She’s been married since 2014 to Sam Kass, who from 2009 through 2014 served as President Barack Obama’s Senior Policy Advisor for Nutrition Policy, as Executive Director for First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign, and as an Assistant Chef, as his Wikipedia bio notes. The Obamas attended their wedding – along with Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

From the article:

"In what some Planned Parenthood detractors will surely decry as a
miscarriage of justice, a grand jury charged with investigating whether the group sold fetal tissue has instead opted to indict the people who filmed the undercover videos that launched the investigation in the first place."

I think that is what is known as hoisted on ones own petard.

More like prosecutorial misconduct, by way of running interference for planned parenthood.

Quote:

The Harris County District Attorney’s office on Tuesday dismissed all charges against anti-abortion activists who secretly videotaped Planned Parenthood officials in Houston.

David Robert Daleiden and Sandra Merritt were charged with tampering with a governmental record, for using a fake identification to gain access to the facility. In a surprise move before a hearing on the legitimacy of the indictment, prosecutors dismissed the charges.
http://www.chron.com/news/houston-te...od-8422998.php

Quote:

According to attorney for Daleiden, District Attorney Devon Anderson shared confidential information with the abortion business, which she was supposed to be investigating for running afoul of state laws prohibiting the purchase or sale of body parts form aborted babies.

Yet, in recent court filings by the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast’s attorney Josh Schaffer admitted in a sworn declaration that the Harris County DA’s office shared evidence with Planned Parenthood. That occurred even after the Texas Attorney General’s office had forbidden Anderson’s office from doing so.

But hey, there was no intent, I'm sure, so it's all good.

Trumps remarks arenwhy this has become a huge story. He dissed mccain, and now this. Instead of saying nothing, or saying i am sorry you lost your son, he questioned why the mother apoke. Tried to deflect.

A lot of people saw the speech at the gop convention and offered support to that mom. Remember?

She didn't need to. The complicit media did it for her. They dissed her and the rnc for putting her on the stage.
What Hillary said: “I don’t hold any ill feeling for someone who in that moment may not fully recall everything that was or wasn’t said.”
How magnanimous. And lawyerly.

I don't think empathy or support for a grieving mother is solely belonging to the right or the left. or the vast amount of us in the middle who don't belong to any party. and I don't see a picture, just an X, so I have no idea what you have there.

ok, restarted computer and now see it. yeah, I saw that the other day. just horrifying what some people will say. but I don't imagine anyone has accused her of ties to terrorism or the muslim brotherhood. there are bad apples all over. is that who we will allow to set the tone? are we going to accuse the media of running rampant because of such things?
and the story isn't about him, his wife, his son or the speech. it's because of trumps reaction. because of his supporters reactions.
everyone knows the woman who spoke at the gop convention, everyone knows the Benghazi story. no one knew of this couple until he gave that speech.
but we are only seeing all we are seeing over it, because trump has shown once again that he has no clue about being a president. about being a leader. people still talk about the Lincoln letter to a mother who had lost her son. trump is the exact opposite of that man in this regard.
