I’ve thought about this enough, I’m cracking a beer and watching the PBR.

Darwinism is dead. We have replaced it with a strongly favored Capitalistic system with a mild form of Socialism with a touch of Facism tacked on for good measure.

I don’t disagree about someone not complying with a stand-down order from an identified law enforcement official. Run from cops and they’ll elevate force, that’s one of the first training items for new LEO’s.

Speak the native language, yes, everyone should learn about the culture, language and customs of the lands they travel to out of respect for the places and people they encounter. Ignorance of local customs has brought much unnecessary misunderstanding to our world.

Total agreement. Vietnam, Gulf 1 and now Gulf 2, returning vets get the shaft everytime. It is reprehensible.

As for some of the people I quoted, you’ll notice that I quoted one Maxi-Socialist, one Communist, a writer of fictional works, a southern Democrat and GW himself. It is a diverse crowd, for sure, and I don’t agree with everything each individual brings to the table. Socialism and Communism don’t work, people are lazy when there’s no incentive to perform. Facism leads to absolute corruption and “tiering” of society. Capitialism works because we all have a stake in it…perform and you will likely succeed. If you fail, you can still try again. But, the safety nets in place in many countries allow people to “suckle the teat of government” ala Socialism, which leads to situations where people forget how to provide for themselves. The government has control in that case, becuase they become the provider rather than an instrument of the citizens.

We will have failed as a society when power shifts like this happen because gross misconduct by those charged with the most difficult job in our society are no longer being held accountable for their transgressions. This particular tragedy is yet another example of that downward spiral.
