You've got to admire US police honesty

I kinda disagree there Spyda. If somebody hurt anyone from my family, I'm quite sure he (coz I'd never hit a female) would probably struggle to walk for the rest of their lives.

and here in WA the courts are so pathetic, that serious crime seems to get off with the most pathetic of slaps on the wrist. Perhaps the cops are just ensuring that the punishment fits the crime

Yeah i agree but it depends on the circumstances. My first reaction would be to bust some heads, usaly for the smallest things, but sometimes its not the best reaction.

This happend in January 2006...

This is Polk County Florida Sheriff Grady Judd who made the world famous remarks...

I also have to disagree Spyda...the reason we have to cop all this BS here is because of touchy, feely, tree hugging wankers in the civil rights areas who have turned everything in favour of the offender...I wonder how they would feel if one of their kids was murdered. Good on the Sheriffs Dept...only problem ...they didn't carry enough ammo.

While we sit and give these people sanctuary from their dilemnas' from all parts of the world ..they abuse our good grace and kindness.

And here it is in a nutshell...

"We sleep safely in our beds, because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."....Oscar Wilde.

Sypda, i'm not suggesting that i would fly off the handle and do something i'd later regret. i'm not impetous like that - my actions would be considered and well planned, effective, and appropriate.

"revenge is a dish best served cold!!"

I'd only be adopting an appropriate, "star chamber" response to an illegal act, that the civil rights idiots are now preventing

LOL, no probs spyda, hence my >>>

According to that article 110 shots were fired. So 110 divided by 9 = 12.3 lets say 12. SWAT would be using a small caliber machine gun of some sort i would think. So 12 rounds from each person is really just a burst of fire from each of them which makes being hit 68 times a lot less dramatic, it's not like they sat there putting clip after clip into the guy.

Lesson to be learned? dont mess with cops

from a different point of view, they fired 110 shots and only hit with 68?

Couldn't agree more.

Just think of the legal costs of a trial and the jail costs that they saved on.
