Those who have it, enjoy it. They don’t want their problems solved. They’d much rather complain and garner sympathy. The reason I immediately balk at claims of racism and sexism (particularly on the internet) is not because I believe there are not legitimate instances of racism and sexism, it’s…
A [couple] recently captured police, who were outside his home answering a call about a domestic violence complaint, in what can only be described as a very bizarre video.
The unidentified Cotati, Calif., man and woman tell the police from inside their home that “there is no domestic violence, just an argument with yelling.”
They also inform police that they have one child in the house and one playing outside.
When the police ask the couple “why” they are not coming out, the man inside tells police: “Because we don’t live in a police state, sir. Martial law has not been established in this country.”
The man insists that police do not have a warrant or probable cause. Seconds later, the police tell the people inside to get down on the floor.
Police then break down the door and enter armed.
The woman is tased first and screams, then the man is tased and the recording ends.
They suspect domestic violence so they respond by disregarding any semblance of due process and tase the woman who is the alleged victim of domestic violence.
In a situation where violence is suspected, the police have exigent circumstances to enter the home, to ensure the safety and well being of all inside, so a warrant is not needed. Just because someone yells through the door that nothing is wrong, the police still need to physically see that everyone is okay otherwise they open themselves up to huge liability issues if, in fact, someone was injured and/or held hostage in the home and they did not verify their well being.
I’m not excusing these guys (I didn’t read the article so I don’t know if they overreacted or not) but just passing info that sometimes the police don’t have an option on whether they enter a residence or not.
^ read it before you judge it. They where far in the wrong and just cuz they have shiny badges they think this is ok.
I didn’t say this was okay. In fact, I made a point of saying that I was not excusing these policemen. What I said was that there are instances when police are required to enter a residence without a warrant. Message me if that’s not clear enough you need even more clarification.

friendly reminder that
high school dress codes are not about suppressing women’s rights
high school dress codes are not about boys being distracted
high school dress codes are about looking decent and at least somewhat professional in what is supposed to be a learning environment
so calm the fuck down and stop using feminism as an excuse to wear booty shorts and revealing tops to school jfc

Don’t look for a new Justice Department report about American gun violence to receive any serious media coverage over the coming days, or ever. According to the report from the department’s Bureau of Statistics, every argument the media and the left are currently making to push for new restrictions on our Second Amendment civil rights, are made up of anti-science nonsense. This report not only proves the media wrong, it proves the NRA right.
Between the years of 1993 and 2011, as the assault weapons ban expired, more Americans purchased guns, the Supreme Court overturned outright gun bans, and individual states not only loosed gun control restrictions but also issued concealed carry permits to private citizens, incidents of gun violence in America collapsed.
Between 1993 and 2011, nonfatal gun crimes plummeted 69%; from 1.5 million to 467,300. Gun-related murders dropped 40%; from 18,253 to 11,101. Gun-related murders for black Americans plummeted by 51%.
The report also shows that the media-created hysteria over school shootings is wildly misleading. Between ‘93 and ‘11, the murder rate in schools dropped by almost a third; from 29 to 20.
Background checks have also been exposed as another bogus narrative the media’s crafted out of thin air. This report proves beyond any doubt that closing the so-called gun show loophole will accomplish next to nothing. Less than one-percent of state prisoners caught with a gun purchased it at a gun show. Moreover, who knows how many of those criminals might have passed or did pass a background check.
So-called assault weapons are also not a problem, Only “2% of state inmates and 3% of federal inmates were armed with a military-style semiautomatic or fully automatic firearm.”
What this study clearly shows is that Obama, Democrats, and the media don’t give a damn about stopping gun violence. If they did, they would be focused on everything but the one and two-percent problems.
What we have here is a yet-another culture war; nothing more nothing less — and one aimed at the type of law-abiding citizens who attend gun shows and enjoy these so-called assault weapons. In other words, Red State conservatives.
What is especially crucial to keep in mind is that 2011 is not some kind of outlier. If you study the original report, you will see that these decreases are all part of an 18-year trend, not an outlier year or two.
This report is extremely good news is you are the kind of person who gives a damn about human life.
But if you are cynical, power-hungry Democrats more uncomfortable with the idea of human freedom than you are pleased with a decrease in human life, this report is bad news. Furthermore, if you are a dishonest member of the media who believes that delivering political wins to Democrats is more important than human life, this report is also bad news.
There is just no question that an armed American populace is a safer American populace. This study also proves that smart policing and a willingness to award serious jail time to violent offenders (two areas our criminal justice system have focused on over the last two decades) does a helluva lot more to decrease the rate of gun violence than purely symbolic gun-grabbing laws.
Thanks to this study we also know for a fact now that the Newtown massacre is being exploited by the media only to demonize Obama’s political enemies.

I don’t know if the story is factual or not. If it is, there is plenty of more room to keep writing!!
