    What do you do for a living, does it involve life and death split second judgement and antagonists?

    What an eloquent, clear and concise message. You must be a rocket scientist. People make mistakes, when we start prosecuting police for politicized reactions, the Marxists win.

    Lost the soccer moms that were on the fence.

    https://concealednation.org/2020/08/was-jacob-blake-holding-a-knife-video-shows-something-many-may-not-have-noticed/ It is in the article. BTW, Biden and the Governor of WI pissed off lots of voters by jumping to conclusions and not saying lets not rush to judgement. Instead, they fueled the flames.

    People in Iowa love the Second Amendment, but not like Texas. Educationally challenged.
  7. TexanInIowa
    I stand corrected.

    Cops are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Shit job these days and BLM is just making it worse. When cops cannot do their job or coupled with a disintegration in the quality of recruits because no one want to be a cop anymore (People Scream that cops need more training. Thirty percent have Degrees, usually Criminal Justice. Good luck getting to pay for collge for that career White flight is going to be the result, and companies are going to allow their employees to flee not just to the burbs, but to small rural town America. The large older cities are screwed.

    The van itself becomes a weapon. He could have killed his kids. He was agitated. People drive their kids into lakes and rivers when despondent. This is policy, do not allow hostage situations. Isn't your call to get rid of the cowardly cops a call to defund the Police? They have a politics group for that.
  10. TexanInIowa
    But if he had killed the kids or run over an innocent bystander the police would have been criticized for allowing that to happen. The Rabble is so irrational right now it blows my mind.
  11. TexanInIowa
    Yes, they knew that, they had been filled in on the way to the call. in addition to the gun issue, he had some domestic violence charges pending (from the same incident as the gun in the bar).
  12. TexanInIowa
    Now you are just trying to be incendiary. Your argument is ridiculous. Cops have a tough job being made impossible by the media and the Democratic Party. That is why their suicide rates are so high. What surprises me is how the Democratic Party has turned its back on the Police and Firefighter unions, and defacto the civil workers throughout most all cities and towns. This used to their base. Now they pander to Antifa radicals and BLM Marxists. Both Biden and the Governor of Wisconsin took the BLM line before the facts came out. BIG MISTAKE.

    He was not murdered, he was a bad actor acting irrationally. Looked an awful lot like a suicide by cop attempt. to m Not to mention, the guy is still alive.
  14. TexanInIowa
    Police are trained to never allow hostage situations. Just sayin.
  15. TexanInIowa
    True, plus people do kill their own kids when they know they are going to prison. Some people are just crazy. He was looking at 8 1/2 years from a weapons issue back on 7/6.
  16. TexanInIowa
    Had a knife also. Also, fear of his driving off with the kids in the car may have been a motive for the shooting, possibly crashing the car or driving it into Lake Michigan. Kids can become hostages in deranged peoples actions. This is akin to the shooting that happened earlier in the week when the guy tried to enter the store with a knife in his hand. The police could not allow a hostage situation to form.
  17. TexanInIowa
    Plus, he had been arrested on 7/6 for pulling a gun on a guy in a bar altercation. The Clip fell out of the gun (you cannot make this shit up). He was told to leave. He left and pointed the gun again at someone in the bar through a window as he left. Probably figured that only the one bullet in the chamber would end up with him killed if he pulled the trigger. He got pulled over. The police at that time told him to stop, and he kept coming at them. He was arrested and the gun was found in the car. He was out on bail awaiting trial. Looking at 8 1/2 years. He is no boy scout, and the police knew what was up because dispatch told them what was up on the way to the call. They knew he carried a gun in the recent past, and they knew he did not follow police directives and was violent.
  18. TexanInIowa
    This is not going to be popular, but he was tased, he tore the leads off. The Police had him on the ground, and he fought his way back up. Reports are that he also had a knife. The Police can be heard yelling for him to put the knife down as he crosses the front of this car. This is why they didn't tackle him.

    You left out Ticks. Plus, even if China has enough wherewithal to eradicate the disease in their country, they will keep getting re-infected from N. Korea, Vietnam and Burma where they do not have the public infrastructure or wealth to mount a successful eradication campaign. They have known about ASF for 100 years. Spain got it in the 1960s and it took them 35 years to eradicate it.
  21. TexanInIowa
    I was just getting used to more affordable beef prices, now this.
  22. TexanInIowa
    ASF is wreaking havoc on the swine population in China. Some estimates are that it could kill nearly 50% of the entire Chinese herd of 440 million hogs. Additonally, the virus is pernicious and will last in the environment, for decades. If China does indeed end up losing 200 million pigs, then they will face a shortage of protein of 10 million metric tons. They simply is not enough surplus available for purchase in the rest of the world to make up the shortage. As an example, the entire USA swine output is 76 million hogs, and we are number two in world production behind China. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2019-eliminating-african-swine-fever/ This is going to affect beef, egg and chicken prices worldwide as well. The Chinese have, or rather had, massive frozen reserves. However, those are expected to run out in the next few months. Question is, will the Chinese people be patient for a decade or even decades?

    The entire problem is coaches will start pushing students out the door through the portal. This is a slippery slope. They will be like, "Hey, that should not count against our graduation rate, that guy transferred to Potawami U". or "Hey, that guy did not lose any eligibility, it was his on choice to transfer out!" On the other hand, coaches recruiting players just so they can ride the bench to keep them out of the hands of the competition will go by the wayside.
