That is what allows them to put the interests of a corporation over people, pipelines over groundwater and oil over the people of the arab nations.<br /><br />CynicAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-47649948034284719482015-01-16T08:58:24.968-06:002015-01-16T08:58:24.968-06:00I would say we need at least two cops at all times...I would say we need at least two cops at all times but that doesn't keep people from getting shot either.<br /><br />The worst thing that could happen to a conservative would be getting everything he wanted.

There is a recent court case in Montana or somewhere where a police officer has shot his second unarmed person during a traffic stop. DailyKos has the dash cam video. The police officer is basically hysterical with fear, shoots the unarmed passenger, and then vomits with grief and fear when he realizes that he has shot an unarmed man because he misunderstood the guy's body language. If you assume that everyone you interact with could be armed, and could be out to shoot you first, you are going to live a life of extreme anxiety. If you arm yourself to combat the danger, you are going to simply add to the danger to yourself and everyone else.aimaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956073425680585780noreply@blogger.com
