I would not of thought that.

I didn't hear that, but if that is true, that parent holds a lot of responsibility. It's a parents job to observe surroundings and make good decisions. This is sounding like she is looking to deflect responsibility.

It's funny to me when people want the cops to make up crimes and charge people for offenses that are not there..... as far as fault.....If I was the parent, I would blame myself. I was not a helicopter parent, but I was strict and depended on no one to watch my kid when we did things. We don't know the full story, but to fill a kid with a 4 wheeler, he would have to be going extremely fast, or he was driving on the blacktop and the kid was in the street.......purely based on what little information I have seen.....

LOL.....I was there when he came to Lumberton. They were outnumbered big time and the police was looking for a reason to arrest him. He was very humble that day.

I don't disagree with your stance, we just don't know all the facts or policies as you have stated. The only thing I'm against is the media being able to control how a situation is looked at. I believe someone made a distinction between this shooting heath and the Floyd death. I honestly don't think Chauvin meant to or wanted to kill Floyd, but I do know this cop wanted to kill Babbitt. The way the media covered both is disturbing to me.

So you would of been ok with the Seattle Police shooting all these rioters that stormed and took over the police station? If so, we may have found some common ground.

1. A private home is completely different than a public place. 2. A person during the day breaks into a private business, should the police be able to shoot them?

If someone is breaking into my home that is MUCH different than this situation.

Ok, I’m going throw the narrative the left always throws.... “should breaking and entering be a death sentence”?

The most peaceful way to prevent rioting is to not allow it. It may cause loss of life in the beginning, but once the message is out, it will stop. Even criminals understand life versus death.... We just have get the media to not spin the truth

Randy Travis, IMO had one of, if not the best country voices ever. I was always a fan of his hits, but when I watched the video below with him and George Jones, it gave me a new respect for Travis. I mean, at his age, singing George songs in front of George had to be nerve racking, but he killed it. If you have never hear this, it's worth the time.....

I was wondering when you were going to announce this. I almost made a stand alone post about it here, but was not sure you wanted it public. I hope you enjoy your retirement and thank you for your service. I'm moving to Port Arthur for a couple years while we work on land, wait for lumber prices to fall and build a house. I would of felt a little safer if you would of waited a couple years,,,,,lol

I'm not sure I agree or disagree with the shooting. We don't know the use of force guidelines. What I do know, is if this was a city police officer and she was black, the media would be up in arms and the headlines would read "unarmed black woman shot by police during mostly peaceful protest"

A plantation may be comprised of 85% blacks, but who reaps the rewards? If we are going back to the 1800's, I guess the Plantation owner benefits......If we are talking current day, that 85% is being paid and want to be there, as they are not obligated to stay..... Now, back to current times. The only way to make a system perfect is to pick and choose. Should we be denying good black people to play basketball to add enough white people to mirror the demographics of the country or State? Should we do the same for Football. For Oscars and Academy awards, should it go to who earns it, or should be let lesser talent win so it matches a perceived demographic of fairness?

That is hard to argue.....With 74% of the NBA black and 60% of the NFL black, I think those sports are very diverse.

What I find interesting is pass completion and Super bowl wins don't even suggest a correlation. It also depends on the guy receiving the pass..... Brady(7 rings) #19 pass completion Montana(4 rings) #23 pass completion Bradshaw (4 rings) #171 pass completion

Unfortunately, She is correct on the bolded statement. While I don't believe that is the general consensus today, I'm old enough to remember it was in the 60's and 70's.

That is absolutely NUTS....

When I had surgery, they injected something in my arm, broke my toe, replace the joint, and drilled screws in my bone.......the only thing I felt is the initial stick of the IV. I call BS why they can't do that, and from there do whatever they need to end the life. Heck, they could of decapitated me and I would of never known......

well, it's fact there is an audit taking place...... and it's fact that 100 democratic lawyers tried to stop it....

Seems you forgot the first amendment. If he thinks the election was stolen, or there was fraud, he has every right to say it. None of the things you posted are proven, all speculation...... This is no different than the laundry list of things Trump was going to go to jail for when he was out of office.......he's still a free man......

What has he done besides make New York safe while he was Mayor? I listened to him last night in an interview. He claims his innocence. I have no reason to believe he is not telling the truth. Remember, he was "America's Mayor" until he supported trump.

So the DA said the car made contact with the police twice......... If he was using the car as a weapon, or they perceived it to be used as a weapon, can they use deadly force?? I would think yes We shall see.......

Thoughts? -No public explanation from Sherriff..... -Brown Attorney claims he was shot in the back of his head..... They were trying to execute a felony warrant, and he was in control of a vehicle that could cause the police harm. Even his attorney say he was backing up while some of the shooting occurred. CNN is not asking, but were the cops in fear of their lives thinking he would run them over.....or someone else? [Hidden Content]

Interesting opinion. My thoughts are they are playing on the feelings of liberals and young folks, while setting up a villain at the same time. I hear constantly that cops: 1. Should not be in their job if they are scared. 2. Should physically try to remove guns from people 3. Should use a taser instead of deadly force 4. Should shoot in the knee, hand, arm, leg, etc 5. Should never, ever, ever make a mistake. 6. Should always make perfect split second decisions. They want us to lower our standards and accept looting, burning and criminal behavior as normal. We had a city block taken over by terrorist and the left was perfectly OK with that........think about that and what America is becoming......not a great outlook in my opinion.
