ok, so i cannot call you an idiot, however it is fine for you to condescend to me, imply i am a child, and inferior, by telling me to "GO to bed".
is it that hard to fathom that i agree with 9/10ths of your posts? i do not agree with this woman getting the amount of sympathy she is getting because she POSSIBLY did not know these were police officers.
this should NEVER HAVE HAPPENED THE WAY IT DID. read that again. understand my point here? this woman should not have been given reason to fire at police, being that they KNEW what they were getting in to. this is THEIR FAULT. however being that this DID happen due to their negligence you cannot deny any fault the woman made by, what did she do again? oh yea. shot 5 cops.

whoa now, hold on just a second. as much as we seem to agree about the incident in question, it was an isolated event. let's not go blaming the whole system over one mistake made by a few hotheads. i grew up in north georgia, and spent alot of time in atlanta...helpful, friendly, and professional are the words that come to mind in my dealings with the police in that area. again, this is an isolated incident.

Scenario one: uniformed officers appear at my door, presenting a search warrant. Being a largely law-abiding citizen, I cooperate.
Scenario two: three guys with guns who I don't know from Adam shout something unintelligable and break down my door. Not wanting to get killed myself by criminals, I open fire.
Which scenario is less likely to end up with dead cops and a dead innocent citizen (me)?

first check your u2us please.
second i had to go to the hospital a few months back after being gun-butted in the skull and waking up at a friends house covered in blood. my 1500 dollar medical bills attest to this. dont ever tell me that i havent "lived it". sorry, but you might just be the one making assumptions.

i'm starting to agree with forsaken on your knack for making assumptions about people. notice i said "grew up in north georgia" and that i had a carry permit "when i lived there."
funny you should mention living in DC....guess where i live now? still havent heard about this kind of incident being a recurring problem.
