I'll be honest about the Glocks: Number one, they are too lite, two: excessive cost, three: manufactured in Israel.
The SR9 is heavy,fast,and cheap, just like my _____...
Also, Ruger is made in Arizona, creating jobs for Americans
But, too each His own, I guess.
If you could please elaborate for me?

No ones feelings are getting hurt hear other than yours by having to explain yourself and snidely adding how you hurt peoples feelings.
You are correct, my mind was focused on the IMI Desert Eagle for some odd reason, I will make sure and research first next time.
You should really know what you are talking about, before posting...
Glocks originated in Austria. But all are made in Smyrna, GA, USA, now.
I'm sorry sir for not being more specific. I'm saying there could be more to this story than what we know about the young gentleman who got pistol whipped in the back of the head. The man who killed the gas station teller obviously got caught, and there was video to boot. I sometimes feel I have to remind people that there are bad people who go along very well with the bad cops. How much info do we really have on the young guy pistol whipped?

Im not certain what you're point was in posting that video. Please clarify.
So you advocate the death penalty for excessive force (which is not apparent from viewing the video), or for lying, which is the crime that the officer committed? The officer obviously lied because he made a mistake- what is unclear is if he believed the mistake to be the accidental discharge or the pistol whipping of the suspect.
This officer will mostly likely lose his job because he is dishonest, not because he was overly aggressive in detaining a suspect.

it is off topic and you seem to like to go off on tangents. Like what was that video you linked about??? That was off topic too.
what does any of this have to do with the OP
?

Really? Where?

Believe me sir; I have no love for a lot of the police. My best friend was beat up by an officer when he refused to take a breathalyzer; I was also saved by an officer back in 92. I know the video speaks numbers, but could there be something missing?

Thank you for you're reply.
The video you posted had nothing to do with this story, and could only be intended to cast doubt on the character of the young man pistol whipped in the OP.
You could not rationally make you're point with the evidence submitted, so you posted a video of a completley unrelated incident, to attempt to sway opinion.
As others have stated, it doesnt matter what happened off camera, what happened on camera is damning enough against the thug in uniform.
I think I will resort back to a previous post I left for Crawdad...

Well you post a video that has nothing to do with this discussion, with comments on the video saying that had a cop pistol whipped the man in this video people would still be out for blood...
You are implying people hate cops whether they do good or bad?
where did that come from and what was the point??
It is off topic pertaining to the story this post is about. Then your explanation of why you posted that video does not even reflect the comments you wrote on around the video.
what are you trying to bring to our attention?? that cops are not the only bad people in the world? I think we get a heavy dose of how many messed up people there are in the world on the nightly news. We know that people are bod across the board.. cops are people too!!
The only difference is had a person other than a cop pistol whipped another person with a weapons discharge that person would be in detained or jailed. This cop on the other hand just put the blame completely on the kid. Why did that happen?? because a cops word has more weight than the average schmo .
That is the abuse of power. How he used his status to cover his @$$. Its not even about what he did to the kid, which if you want to split hairs we do not know the circumstance. The cop lied... he lied about what a person did. he said the gun discharged because the kid resisted that is a lie. A lie he made to get out of trouble. is this sinking in??
How would knowing all the sides of the stories exonerate the cop from lieing about why the gun discharged and putting more blame on the kid??

I won’t go further. I think I’ll just keep to myself on this thread. The more I say “what if”, the more in trouble I seem to get myself into.

I guess you win some and lose some. Even if the cop did pistol whip a guy like this, people would still be looking out for blood.

I feel like throwing in a laughing face emotion but it's just not proper.
You are kind of deranged in your perception of this exact incident we are discussing in the OP.!
