The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition
The vast majority of the news reports about this disgusting display of police overreaction focus not on the general (non-race-based) failure of policing in America, but on the race of the security guard who was shot and killed because he was doing his job. I don't have the details, and my impressions may be incorrect, but I doubt it. My guess is that the cops barrelled in, lights and sirens and running down puppies, and jumped out of their cars guns blazing. I do not believe that this poor guy was shot because he was Black; I think he was shot because the cops were out of control and didn't use what little cognitive ability they may have. "Oh look! Guy with gun! Let's shoot him!" Four other people were shot, and it doesn't sound like the bad guy was the one firing, so that means the cops shot five people. Impressive! The problem now is that "this business is already out of control." Policing in America is broken, and I see no rational solutions being suggested by anybody. BLM wants cops out of Black neighborhoods, and that is moronic beyond belief. Ignoring the fact that most Blacks are not insane...they want the police around...that will not fix the problem. And Whites are killed by cops at approximately the same rates as Blacks, so it's a fallacious argument anyway. But reflexive support for the police is a very shortsighted reaction too. All it does is embolden the crooked or arrogant or power-mad cops who are the lawbreakers, and reinforces the status quo, which is unacceptable. The thin blue line needs to be discredited, because policing as an occupation is nowhere near the most dangerous one in America. Besides, cops become cops with the understanding that it may get dangerous, and that they may need to go into harm's way. So why is their safety more important than ours? That security guard wanted to go home to his family at the end of his shift, just like the cops who killed him. Cop fatally shoots security guard at bar in Chicago suburbs
A police officer gunned down an armed black security guard who tried to stop a shooting at a suburban Chicago bar, according to reports Monday. The 26-year-old guard, Jemel Roberson, had restrained a thug involved in the shooting outside Manny’s Blue Room in Robbins, Ill., after gunfire broke out at 4 a.m. Sunday, according to local station Fox32. But cops who rushed to the bar mistook the guard for “one of the bad guys,” witness Adam Harris told Fox32.Maybe in rural America the cops know how to shoot, but in the cities and many of the suburbs they practice far less than many regular folk who go to the range a few times each month. NYPD officers requalify twice each year, and let us be generous and say that the skill required is nothing impressive. Sure, there are lots of cops who take it seriously and are probably fine combat shooters, but they seem to be in the minority. And it isn't just their skill (or lack thereof) with their weapons, it is their ability to evaluate the situation and decide to shoot or not to shoot that seems to be lacking. But all of this is secondary to the larger issue: the police are not an occupying force; they are not our rulers; they are not all-powerful. They must be held accountable for their failures just like anyone else with a gun, and until that happens we will continue to have a rapidly growing divide between the cops and the rest of us.
This is a common theme around here, and it needs to be hammered home in American high schools. Be an electrician or a plumber and make a lot more money and have a marketable skill that will never go out of fashion.

When I was on a visit with INPO in Atlanta we had some guys who had come
in from some large city in the NE, I forget where. But we went out one
afternoon and hit some places and one guy from the NE remarked on how
good looking all the women were and how all of them were all dressed up
with none in hair curlers. I laughed, I told him no real Southern woman
would go downtown in hair curlers and shabby cloths.

The write-ups I have read said the guy he was holding down was the shooter who was shooting up the other guys and he was disarming him (he was a security guard).
The cops and city there are going to be sued into oblivion but they don't care. Doesn't come out of their pockets.

Here is my own post mortem on the 2018 campaign.
But for the Herculean efforts of Donald Trump, the GOP would have been wiped out as they offered no coherent message or reason to vote for the party other than tax cuts, which were passed a year ago and are no longer resident in peoples minds and that the Democrat party is unhinged.
I know I have harped on the Jay Webber campaign an I will use his campaign to show how unfocused and undisciplined the general GOP message was this campaign...
My main modes of media consumption are youtube and watching Jeopardy, I have been watching Jeopardy religiously for going on 30 years.
I saw the following Jay Webber ads once each in a 5 month span....
https://tinyurl.com/y8znmofd
https://tinyurl.com/y867wlju
Jay Webber sent very few mailers and the mailers he did send were as ridiculous as the two ads that I linked.
His opponent, Rebbecca Michelle "Mike" Sherril ran numerous ads that appeared each and every commercial break, these are the three ads I saw the most during the same 5 month span, I probably saw these ads 100's of times, compare and contrast...
https://tinyurl.com/yc9qhkfo
https://tinyurl.com/ya98sueo
https://tinyurl.com/ydcfk22r
Jay Webber's big spend seems to have been on signs which littered the highway and nothing else..
If anything the signs served to be markers to give drivers the opportunity to say, hey there's that asshole Jay Webber.
From field reports from others it would seem that the GOP chose to spend their money on consultants and not much else.
Now they have been wiped out in NY, NJ, California and much of the NE in the house.
They have literally squandered a once in a lifetime opportunity to advance a muscular conservative agenda while having probably the most conservative President in our lifetime in the oval office.
The GOP is an ideologically confused, undisciplined, unorganized, unprincipled and illegitimate political party and all that entails.
And the sad thing is we will more than likely not be able to vote our way out of our predicament and the GOP will have squandered their 24 years in power.
Sad.

I've always found it near incomprehensible that the group that most needs the police to enforce their utopian vision of an all encompassing State (Progressives) never seem to understand that more laws, more regulations, less to more Police-civilian interactions
Meanwhile, the groups they despise, the Churchgoing "deplorables" (along with their lesser known variant, the "too Jewish" orthodox, as Progressive Jews refer to us), are both better armed and less likely to need to resort to State functionaries for problem resolution.

Fox's traffic court Judge agrees with the legal challenge to Trump's "acting AG". I say he is FOS and one of the many reasons I quit watching Fox even before I dropped cable and Satellite.

37 '43% of recent college grads are underemployed'?
Yeah, those 43% should all be professors of gender theory by now. It's been a whole summer, and they're still working at Starbucks.
Plant the idea in recent graduates' minds that the fat, opinionated and entitled fooks who taught their "studies" classes are bogarting all their "jerbs" and then sit back and smile while watching the SJW on NPC action.

I'd estimate $80 for the service call and $75-$100 for the element.....depending on whether it's a dual or single....plus local fees/taxes......$250 or so.

Don't like cops.
Never have liked cops.
Been arrested by a cop for flipping a bird at him and had it thrown out in court because it's not illegal to flip a bird at a cop. Didn't save me the ride downtown and the bail money. If I had resisted because I thought I shouldn't be arrested for flipping a bird, I would have been beaten by a stick, pepper sprayed or shot, which the same cop did to someone else while I was awaiting my hearing, leading to his firing.
Only cops I ever liked, I liked because they did not act like cops and let stupid sh*t go.
Only times I ever needed cops, they showed up, did nothing, told me there was nothing they could do, and made a report for my insurance company.

Our son in law has been a police officer for about 2 years, has been in many bad situations but only one where he thought he'd have to shoot someone, but did not. He's a big guy with a big heart.

Police these days are too militarized--I mean both the law enforcement culture itself and the individual cops.
They view everyone as a perp--even old ladies and middle- aged men--they hate being questioned and seem to have chips on their shoulders. The young ones are gym rats and have a hair-trigger temper (roids?) and they preen around -- get manicures, pedicures and weekly haircuts.
They also make a damn lot of money, the kind of money that would make the old paunchy Irish and Italian cops I remember from my youth blush. These were the cops who would get more done using just their wits--and a nightstick--than today's cops with their gadgets, gizmos, cameras, trackers, computers--and bad attitude.

The company also said it would put a smaller outpost with 5,000 jobs in Nashville to focus on logistics and related activities.

Lot of thoughts on the shooting . Last I read , the Guard had the suspect down and holding the perp's own gun on him. The cop should have issued a command before firing though I assume the cop will say he thought he was saving someone from being shot . I assume if it actually was a shooter who had someone down with a gun pointed at that person, the cop would be considered a hero. Still should have issued a command though first. Another question. Was the Security guard wearing a uniform?

Well, apropos of nothing, in Golden, CO an Uber driver was arrested for abducting and assaulting a teenaged girl. The news did not name him, so I knew something was up, and that it probably wasn't an illegal immigrant, because Uber doesn't hire them (at least on purpose). That leaves you-know-who.
Sure enough, I looked it up and dude's name is Achmed Muse.
These people are just so transparent. I think if anyone just started a local news show that wasn't full of lies and misdirection, filming in their basement and broadcasting on public access, they could take a lot of ratings from these idiots.

Back in the day, Dennis Miller did a bit about college loans. His theory was that you should NOT have to pay back your college loan until you got a job in your field.
That would put an end to a lot of problems for graduates. However, I'm pretty sure the profs that teach "gender studies" and "urination on Christian statues as art" would not be pleased.

Whether it's "reconstructed" votes, or "hey look heres 8000 absentee ballots we forgot about," or "we're just gonna lock the door and fill out ballots until we have enough" they just don't care. Win at all costs.

'43% of recent college grads are underemployed'?
Yeah, those 43% should all be professors of gender theory by now. It's been a whole summer, and they're still working at Starbucks.
Plant the idea in recent graduates' minds that the fat, opinionated and entitled fooks who taught their "studies" classes are bogarting all their "jerbs" and then sit back and smile while watching the SJW on NPC action.

Have you all tried to hire a "recent college grad" lately? LOL, what an entitled, pampered bunch.
They want three weeks of vacation to start, they want to work 9-5, no weekends, no holidays, do not want to answer work calls after five or at lunch, and want $80,000 to start. They know everything, and the way you are currently doing things is wrong. They want the company to be donating large amounts of profits to their preferred causes in Africa, or to the environmental groups. They want full insurance, sick days and pay, no questions asked days off, if travel is involved, company car.
I have numerous friends in positions responsible for hiring people and they say college grads are basically impossible to hire unless you are offerering a plum IT position.

Back in the day, Dennis Miller did a bit about college loans. His theory was that you should NOT have to pay back your college loan until you got a job in your field.
Was listening to Dave Ramsey show the other day for a few minutes. A guy called in who had just flunked out of medical school after piling up $140,000 in student loans.
The next day I heard a guy who racked up $130,000 in student loans studying music and never got a degree.

Now why the hell should a cop be preparing to draw on a person he pulled over for a seatbelt violation?
I'm tired of the "it's a dangerous profession" bullsh*t.

no, Starbucks is exactly their employment level. Only in government does getting "continuing ed" automatically mean a pay raise, even for those in the rubber rooms.
That is communism ... government mandates all the way down the road to hell, where the NPC gets his reward for ringing the Pavlovian agitprop bell.
Eventually they run out of other people's money. But that hasn't stopped them ... $21T in known debt, another $21T missing, and $221T in unfunded liabilities ... but the oligarchs are fat and sassy.

Welp, $180 for the service call and parts order. Service guy says "hopefully" the part will be in in 3-5 business days, and then he and another guy will install it. I gently reminded him Thanksgiving is next week, and I'm doing the whole thing here.
Ugh. At least the total is only going to be $350.00. He had thought that we'd need to replace the entire cook top.
Service guy was a nice kid (a veteran) so there's that.

6 A "studies" degree will prepare you well for a minimum wage job..somewhere.
Posted by: BignJames at November 13, 2018 11:02 AM (cxHbL)
Actually, not even that.
A "studies" degree will make you overqualified for most minimum wage jobs, resulting in you being less likely to get a minimum wage in the first place (because your manager knows you'd much rather be doing something that pays better, so why waste the time getting you up to speed if you might quit in a few weeks?).
It'll also make you a worse employee, since you're now very likely to be viewing everything through a marxist framework as you were taught in college, and will give you a sense of entitlement, and a temptation to be insubordinate towards your supervisor/manager, especially if they themselves don't have a degree.

TBF - Denver was being considered, and I didn't want Amazon. They'll demand hundreds of millions in tax breaks to move to your city, with the promise of 30,000 or 50,000 jobs or whatever number, and then the majority of those will be transfers of current employees from other offices.
Net result - your city pays Amazon a metric fuckton of cash to move there (some of which finds its way to your local ward heelers, of course), and then they fill your city with thousands more latte-sipping soyboys who raise the cost of living for existing residents, and make the traffic even worse.
No thanks.

Just a guess - a lot of these people have purchased degrees/advanced degrees in topics where the only employment is...teaching other people these 'studies' (i.e. as professors).
Maybe it's time we ask the market value of these degrees, such as an expertise in 18th century queer agrarian culture?

I'm not sure I agree with the premise that the police are a necessary component without which American society would collapse.
Huh. We have police and our society is collapsing. In fact, it would be easy to make the argument that as police have become more militant, our society's rate of collapse has been increasing and become more comprehensive.

Posted by: It's me donna at November 13, 2018 11:14 AM (O2RFr)
Lawsuit wants to negate the FL law that requires mail-in ballots be received by 7 pm on ED. FL sends out mail-in ballots 10/9-16, then EV takes place from 10/22-11/4 (for big counties like Broward), w ED on 11/6. There is no reason that mail-ins should not be provided by ED. But, imo, that's part of what Broward was illegally doing: counting the ballots that USPS continued to deliver after ED. Miami-Dade appeared to not have theirs delivered/stopped acceptance. But, no answer on where Broward and Palm's are located.

This happened in Robbins, IL... a far south suburb of Chicago.. almost 100% poor blacks live in Robbins.. and I would venture a guess that the cop was black as well. Although reports say it was a Midlothian cop who shot the guy.. that is another poor burb to the south..
This is a high crime suburb..
That said.. no one should be shot like that.. WTF is wrong with cops? I know it is a stressful job.. enough cops are killed every week that I am sure every one of them that rushes into a scene thinks it is his/her turn next.. and after the bar in California incident last week where the initial responder got killed, it is very understandable.
But jeez! Get some training.. learn how to approach a scene like this!

Re: the GOP and this election.
Jim Jordan was on Levin's Fox television show Sunday night. There was another gentleman on with him, newly elected I believe to the House.
Jordan hit it right out of the park with his analysis of the election and the loss of he majority in the House.

He said, as a member, he has no idea what the members in the House wanted to accomplish if they had won the House back. He knows what he personally wants to see happen, but leadership is responsible , in his mind, for having no message, no cohesive plan, and no effort to get that plan moving. ( He's referring to Paul Ryan) . He said that the failure to pass ObamaCare repeal and replace, and the failure to fund the wall , two signature promises that the House republicans ran on, helped to oust them.

Jim Jordan was on Levin's Fox television show Sunday night. There was another gentleman on with him, newly elected I believe to the House.
Jordan hit it right out of the park with his analysis of the election and the loss of he majority in the House.

Cops don't operate in a vacuum. They are a reflection of the political leadership of the area they work which in turn is a reflection of the local culture.
As our society has become more crude and unaccountable it really isn't a shock that the police have tracked accordingly.

>>2. The DC HQ in particular indicates more involvement with the government. More corporate capture of the government is not a good thing. Especially in the wake of my point #1 above.
That's well underway, as Bezos purchased the largest mansion (two, actually, it was previously a museum) in DC in October 2017. Amazon Cloud services have gotten huge government contracts.
The DC HQ just makes it easier for Bezos to multi-task his DC-based operations (WashPost, government contracts and lobbying) with his Amazon retail sales operation.

As the ex put it, the guys were all middle aged and tended to have a few extra pounds but, because they knew how to fix things, the office gals found the techs attractive.

Biggest letdown is not only was the wall not built, it was not even funded to any significant degree. Now it will never happen. Not that any of that is the least bit surprising but it was the last best hope to stave off the population replacement underway and which showed itself in numerous races which should have been easy wins for Republicans.

Years ago, while stationed in DC, the wife and I went to Baltimore to meet a friend at his inlaws. They lived in an old Polish neighborhood, with the brownstones with the stoops people scrub regularly. Got lost, flagged down a cop on a three wheeler (Servicar?). He asked where we were going, said it's complicated, and then said follow me. Nowadays, as JoeF. at 122 says, they would start with why are you here, why are you going there, etc.

McSally got far fewer votes than other Republicans and Sinema did much better than other Democrats. In other words, it doesn't look like fraud (at least on the surface), it looks like McSally was a lousy candidate.
Mostly, she lost big in Maricopa and that's where Sinema earned her entire margin of victory. Other Republicans did better in Maricopa, and won their races, with very similar overall total votes being cast. Sinema just kicked her ass.

Who do you think fills the ranks of all of those "diversity" offices in the education complex? Who runs the "sensitivity" programs and HR departments that even many private businesses have to have? Increasingly these people come from X-studies departments.
Moonbat governments, community organizers, and think-tanks hire quite a few too, especially from the Anti-white Studies sector.

Scammers. All done under the noses of the New York State Regents and other colleges who dare not challenges them for risk of being scrutinized themselves.

-------
Sort of. It depends. At least here in CO, at the county level in rural areas, the cops essentially ARE the political leadership. We have County Commissions, but the Sheriffs are basically the "mayors" of our counties.
In our rural northern counties, this works fine, and most of the SDs up there are decent enough law-and-order types, and will routinely defy unconstitutional Leftist edicts handed down by the State - they represent their people.
Meanwhile, in my home county they're corrupt drug dealers who represent nobody but themselves. It's a running joke to people who live there. They run the voting (it's done at the sub-stations), and surprise - even though everyone hates him, the Sheriff is "re-elected" every time.
Finally, he disgraced himself sufficiently that he was forced to resign before the election because of popular rage at his corruption and incompetence. So, here's hoping the new guy is a damn sight from different from the petty thug who ran that place my whole life. Not holding my breath though.

Honestly getting to the point where accelerationism almost seems like a better strategy. I debate with myself about that constantly. As the "likely" turns more and more into the "inevitable" I wonder more and more why we bother delaying it. If they're going to steal all my shit I'd rather have it be sooner than later when the bastards will get more of it.
By the way, not honestly proposing voting for collapse , just saying I think about it from time to time. Especially when the one "opposition party" is so cucked and lame they can't even put together a solid agenda of what they want even when they have a majority. I understand a lot of that is due to subversion in the leadership, but that fact itself raises a lot of "why even bother" sentiment in me.

don't know what they show on TV but Robbins is a majority black little village on the south side of Chicago.
There's a few of these in that area. Tiny incorporated towns that are mostly black. Little bit higher class black than lives in chicago and I'm guessing the cops that came were black also. If they have a PD.
If they don't have their own PD they might contract with one of the larger burbs nearby or the State Police of their LE.
Since the accounts don't scream white cops and they would, I'm guessing the cops who shot this guy were mixed or all black.
No tv narrative there so the demographic goes by by on the TV.
There may be more to this story than meets the eye but as usual they first thing they focus on cops vs blacks.

Mostly, she lost big in Maricopa and that's where Sinema earned her entire margin of victory. Other Republicans did better in Maricopa, and won their races, with very similar overall total votes being cast. Sinema just kicked her ass.

That makes sense. The armed forces are huge, and only a small number of them see combat or are in other dangerous positions. By the way, I think that training is statistically more dangerous than combat.
Oh, I know why they aren't listed. I just think that the difference in the way the Horde treats the two professions is interesting.

occupying force; they are not our rulers; they are not all-powerful.

Um, is there any actual agreement on that, because the cops confiscating guns, robbing motorists to cover their pensions, tossing grenades into cribs, and running up their puppy kills don't appear to think so?

Heh. She just instinctively know that if one of the world's largest companies moves into her neighborhood someone has to make demands on behalf of the residents.
Honestly, I have no sympathy for Bezos as he wasted how many states' time and resources (consultants cost money!) having them all bid/present plans for how they could accommodate his 2nd HQ only to go with DC. DC was the obvious choice given that he lives there part-time and at this stage of his business, coziness with government leaders is crucial.

I'm far from a cop-hater. I've had law enforcement agents in my family and I usually give cops an automatic benefit of the doubt when it's a case of deadly force. But lately, that's become harder to do.
I'm basing my observances on personal experience and from also hearing stories from friends who are cops or who are related to or married to them.
I have just seen (and experienced) too much of the new breed of cop
I'm also in Northern NJ which has several layers of law enforcement (local, county sheriff, Port Authority, State Troopers , Transit etc, etc, etc, ---all of whom are paid very well.

A group of LGBT migrants arrived in Tijuana this weekend after reportedly breaking off from the larger U.S.-bound caravan due to verbal harassment and poor living conditions.
About 76 LGBT members of the caravan, which has about 3,600 members, described inter-caravan persecution and poor planning interfering with the members' ability to eat and bathe on a regular basis, according to Telemundo 20 in San Diego.
"Even taking a bath was a major problem," a caravan member who is Honduran told Telemundo. "When we wanted to shower there was no water for us...for food it was the same thing."
An anonymous group paid for the small group of LGBT migrants to take a bus to the border. They said just like in their native country, they endured verbal abuse while they traveled with the large migrant group, which is expected to reach the U.S. border in about 2-3 weeks.

I think the difference is this: They're both relatively safe jobs at this very moment. But that is the status quo for the police, and unlikely to change abruptly.
Whereas, for the military, one major geopolitical change could result in hundreds of thousands of them dying in a short period. It has a much higher potential to become very dangerous very quickly, and they get paid like shit for it.

>>Sort of. It depends. At least here in CO, at the county level in rural areas, the cops essentially ARE the political leadership. We have County Commissions, but the Sheriffs are basically the "mayors" of our counties.
That's kind of my point. The same thing was going on in Portland, OR during the ICE crap. The mayor was basically running roughshod on the police.
In NYC one of the first things deBlasio did was change how the police handled things like stop and frisk. The guy who was killed for selling selfies by a cop was the direct result of politicians forcing the police to crack down on that activity.
I'm not saying all cops are angels but they largely reflect the community they serve. I live in a pretty quiet little town and the cops here are pretty mellow and will absolutely go out of their way to do things like give directions or just shoot the shit if you run into one at a coffee shop. Head up to Providence and it's a whole different thing.

Maybe I'm cynical, but it looks like they've found themselves a new angle for requesting asylum. I don't doubt they were mistreated, but as with the main caravan: who is paying for this, who is organizing this?
And if you think that maybe, just maybe, these people are coached by NGOs to utter key words and phrases to gain entry, you are correct. See this from Lauren Southern (note: this is in Europe, but I assume it's SOP):

I'd say the same thing about cops that I say about lawyers: the good news is that they are like everyone else; the bad news is that they are like everyone else. being the law-and-order, anti-hippy party, Republicans, including conservatives, have always had a hard time processing the bad news. A certain segment of conservatives can repeat Reagan's "we're from the government" line and appreciate its significance with respect to the IRS or EPA, but lose the thread when it comes to law enforcement (despite witnessing FBI ineptitude and misdeeds repeatedly over the years).

I get it and all, but it's not really kosher for a policeman to be thinking in terms of "good guys" and "bad guys" while on the job.
Yeah, that's a thing of course, but our legal system is not designed to recognize that fact (for good reason), and what else is a police officer than an end effector of the legal system?

Everyone is trying to figure out why McSally lost. Some say she was a nevertrumper, but she wasn't. Some say she was too close to Trump, but she wasnt.
Larry Schweikart says she lost because she didn't appeal to millenniuls, lol.
One number did stick out from the exit polling and that was that McSally and Sinema tied among Seniors. No GOP candidate will win unless they rack up the totals among Seniors. Sinema used the "pre-existing conditions" attack just like every other Dem this midterm, and it worked for her, too.
Another isssue, and this was a problem in WI, too, is having brutal primaries late in the summer, so when it's over, the candidate has no money and is just cannon fodder for the opposition.
IMO, the biggest issue is that McSally just isn't a good candidate. She has nothing going for her beyond her impressive bio and in this day and age, being in the military just doesn't mean anything to voters. Get ready to see a ton of kooky atheist Kyrsten because she's got that AZ seat as long as she wants it.

She has nothing going for her beyond her impressive bio and in this day and age, being in the military just doesn't mean anything to voters. Get ready to see a ton of kooky atheist Kyrsten because she's got that AZ seat as long as she wants it.

Then I would expect them to find other employment.
Being a cop is no more their birth-right than being an engineer is mine. I asked for the job - and the day I either can't or won't perform it will be the day I'll find something else. Or lose a shit-pot of weight. Either-Or.
Same needs to apply to them.

Anybody else remember the LA riots? That was the moment when being in the LAPD became very, very dangerous.
And what did they do? They pulled back, ran away and left the mess for the National Guard, the 1st Marines and 7th Infantry to deal with.
In Katrina? The NOPD did the same shit. They fled the city and left if for the National Guards and the 82nd Airborne.

The bottom line is that society expects police to shoulder a greater risk of personal bodily harm than the police are willing to accept.
Actually providing the citizenry all of their civil rights puts officers at greater risk. They know it, and dont want to accept that risk.

I starter reading Schweikart in late October when he was 99.9% sure McSally would win and now that she lost he's blaming the candidate.
So if you haven't been paying attention since the GOP became a competitive party in 1994, the Republican candidate has to be 99 33/100% pure and utterly on board with their shrinking base while a Dem gets to crank out votes indefinitely from its base -- the Stygian underworld. GOP (or GOPe) has to earn every vote.
I still cannot figure out why McSally was so objectionable to otherwise steady Republican voters aside from the Queen Bee syndrome, or, geez, reading the comments here, interservice jealousies?

I still cannot figure out why McSally was so objectionable to otherwise steady Republican voters aside from the Queen Bee syndrome, or, geez, reading the comments here, interservice jealousies?

I'm sure there was some Trump blowback in the Maricopa suburbs, but we'll need to see detailed exits to confirm that. The biggest problem was that McSally was broke after the primary and Sinema carpetbombed the airwaves with attack ads and defined McSally as being against healthcare covering pre-existing conditions. That issue was golden for every Dem that ran with it.
And we may not like her (I can't stand her), but Sinema is very cute and very charismatic. That matters. Remember, too, that McSally struggled against a far lesser opponent in her last election and had to go through this vote-counting after election day and just squeaked out the win. She's just not a strong candidate.

I think we'd discover that cops are pretty inessential. We're armed, rather heaviliy so, and the rough justice that communities would mete out against flagrant lawbreakers in the absence of civil order would be something to behold.

American cops are like the last Roman Soldiers before the fall of the Empire.
Their presence allows Elite White Liberals and the Rich to live in the Cities.
what would ever happen if the Police Unions went on strike?
Posted by: Jonah
Get rid of the unions and offer bonuses for stable veterans?
Also, the five officers in Dallas were not 'executed'; they were murdered by a violent criminal. That term is reserved by the state when it renders a sentence of death after due process.
Likewise, when cops shoot and kill a security guard, and three other people besides the criminal (who was supposedly unarmed and down on the ground), that's one fucked up situation.
The guy murdered by cops in Wichita would probably agree.

Call me skeptical.

Flake favorable numbers were in the 15% or so range and no idea what the religious bent of those might be, but exit polls seemed to reflect that those that viewed him favorably voted for Sinema. Although not an active Mormon, iirc, she was raised one. So, who knows? Tribal politics seems to be more and more important in this country, sadly.

Does anyone think that any police force would fire someone for shitty range scores, unless they wanted them gone for some other reason? many get away with shooting and kiling innocent people. They aren't going to be bounced for a poor range score.

Like Bill Mitchell, Larry is a con man. He got lucky in 2016 and that election was a once-in-a-lifetime fluke, imo. GOP got the perfect candidate for the rust belt, the Dems had the only candidate with worse favorability ratings and the Dems thought they had it locked up and didn't turn out.

Is McSally was married two years, annulled. No Kids. Speculation, whispers etc.
So as compared to sinema, perhaps a wash on the sex thing. Sinema with slight edge because raised Mormon?
I dunno.

The cop who shot the security guard was not from the town where the shooting took place, Robbins IL. He was from neighboring Midlothian IL.
Robbins is a nearly all black (96.25%) economic black hole ($24,125 median household income).

"My brother, in addition to his full-time police-work (Special Victims) and National Guard duties, is working 2-3 security gigs just to make ends meet."
Then he is spending way way too much money on stupid wasteful nonsense, and his problems have zero to do with how much he is making.

re 19:
From field reports from others it would seem that the GOP chose to spend their money on consultants and not much else.
and now you know why so many in the GOP established can't stand Trump. Jeb would have spent as much as Hillary did and still lost.

Just a note on the "most dangerous professions" list.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not include the military. If it did, Infantry would be No. 3, third most dangerous profession after Fishing and Logging.
Yes, you are safer as a US infantryman than on a fishing boat. Police work is a lot safer than either.

Fuck you. You libertarians wanted a country where the guilty go free, where the fact of guilt matters nothing when the i's and t's aren't crossed on the paperwork, where you can't leave your door unlocked during the daylight hours. Where 80% of robberies and half of murders go unsolved. Where you can't execute a guy who kills a dozen people unless you find some "extraordinary" reason he killed them.
Yah we pay taxes for military cops. Every time a cop shoots a perp, the country is improved. Don't like it, go eat a bullet. The time of Taking is coming when we won't rely on paid professionals for our violence. The radical right will be violent themselves.

I had a nice conversation on line recently about CCW holders running to help a Cop in a bad guy good guy shoot out.I stated to do so probably means the Police will shoot you too. Along with the bad guy who will shoot you as well.
To do so opens you up to law suits.You the CCW holder do not have the legal, Union or lawyers to protect you.I was called every name in the book from coward to being told I didn't need a gun.And yet, here we are.I hope that website is paying attention to this event.

Until all the info about this shoot comes in I'm reluctant to comment about it. Just like in Ferguson where the witnesses saw things different, but, evidence later showed different, it's hard to render a conclusion either way.
Are there Cops who break the rules, heavy handed, too quick to shoot? Of course, just like in any other profession there's good ones, marginal ones, and poor ones.
Should society hold police to a higher bar? ABSOLUTELY YES. Police, like Judges, are one of the selected people entrusted by society where they can take your freedom away. This is a really big deal for the officers I have known and they do not take that trust lightly. I've known a number of training officers who say they drill that into new officers heads constantly and it is continuously repeated throughout an officers career.
Some of the problems Cops have is the limited and/or sketchy info they receive when responding to dangerous calls like this. Some of the people calling 911 may believe the security guy was actually the perp and tell that to 911, who then tells that to the responding officers. On arrival they see this security guy with a gun pointed at the perp. What happens next is the issue. Did the security guy turn point his gun at the cops? Did he identify himself? Did the cops ask him to drop the gun? When everyone is jacked up on adrenaline strange things happen, sometimes good some bad. You cannot paint all police with a broad brush because of one or two ones screwing up. Believe me, the last thing 99.99% of cops want to do is kill or really hurt someone; especially innocent people.

"I see no rational solutions being suggested by anybody"
Well, I've been advocating rational solutions for a decade now.1) Lower the level of gov't AND policing to the smallest area possible, so the people in that area can take responsibility for themselves,2) Get people to take responsibility for their OWN safety and security (I hate the "thin blue line" and "the only thing that stands between us and anarchy" crap),3) Recapture the attitudes found in the Peelian Principles.
That is, IF you want to be free citizens, and not subjects of the crown.

You could peek at Yahoo's home page and watch how
they create article headlines to grab people interested.
You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to get readers interested
about everything've got to say. Just my opinion, it might bring
your posts a little livelier.
