That also what politicians don’t seem to want. You don’t lose common sense the day you’re appointed to the job and walk through the doors of the police academy.Paul Huebl Crimefile Newshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841397705805774698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-3157965213893097782006-11-04T17:57:00.000-08:002006-11-04T17:57:00.000-08:00You hit it right on the Head.

When we stopped him it was. When we talked to him we found out he was a CTA employee on disability because he was shot, he wore a colostomy bag and was not in good health living in a bad neighborhood. I did not take his gun, we escorted him home and wished him a good night. Oh, by the way, while it did not matter to me or my partner but someone usually makes an issue out of it, me and my partner were white. The Man was Black. I do not see this type of discretion these days, I hope I am wrong.TheHatLiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16300224182495106513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-49757109154720521132006-11-04T05:59:00.000-08:002006-11-04T05:59:00.000-08:00Are you kidding me?

Here, from the moment a brand new recruit enters the academy on his/her very first day, they are taught that there is nothing more evil than a gun and all those who possess guns must be evil and worthy of arrest. They are so heavily indoctrinated into this way of thinking that if Jesus Christ himself were seen walking down Michigan Ave. with a pistol, he too would get locked up. It's not until a few years later that they come to the realization that the only people who are impacted by gun laws are those citizens who are usually very law abiding and carry guns ONLY as a means to defend themselves and that the criminal element could care less about gun laws, they will carry them anyway and commit criminal acts with them. It's not until they come to the common sense approach to the topic that they realize that when a government denies it's citizens the RKBA that it is actually denying them the right to defend themselves. Thats usually about the same time that they join the NRA and look the other way when they see a normal, law abiding citizen packing some heat to defend himself. I hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
