Although not pointed to me I thought I would share a very sad story,

10 or so years ago at a softball tournament about 10 miles out of town at a small country field I watch as a 30 something man died from a heart attack in front of his 6 year old son. That image is still with me clearer than you can imagine and I wonder how the 6 year old dealt with that image growing up.

 

Geez Big Black,

I try to be nice and commend you on your resources and you get all defensive on me. Sheesh [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] Then you attack a fellow poster in the forums about his grammar. How do we spell? Looking not too far back in one of your posts, you spell "where" as "were". Now look who's calling the kettle black. Not saying that I don't have my share of typo's as you can see the posts "where" I have gone back and either reworded something or corrected spelling.

Let's talk about opinions shall we? In the post that I complemented you on your resources, you simply stated someone else's "opinion". In this case, if a Supreme Court would find the officers in the Michigan case guilty of excessive force, this would simply be their opinion of what happened based on presented facts.

Another one of "your opinions" is right here in this very post. You know, the kids grammar and how he created a "total devastation" of the english language. You can search nearly every forum in this site and you will find the same grammar used by many. Perhaps we should get to know some of these people before we get too critical. Are you going to criticize people about how they look?

 

Geezzzzzzzzz LEP7MM LOL seems you are taking this way more seriously than I but I can continue as long as you wish.

As far as jumping on to another poster, I mistaken him for the the kid that everybody is bashing for his over the wall comments on the dead kid of the situation we have been debating, but it was a joke you know as "mywifesquad" and I traded a couple of jabs back and forth all in fun to this sometimes heated debat.

You found a typo for me, LOL You can bet I will wait for the English cops, as a matter of fact English is my poorest subject and even on the GRE I double my English scores with my Math. Amazing I got through graduate school but I did suffer in the English department and will take my punishment in that area, BTW I was making a joke.

Yes the supreme courts decisions are an opinion of several but their decisions are used as a basis in many defenses around the world as supporting information. But I have given many facts to support my side.

1. In the IA Department argument with someone I do not remember and do not care to look back I provide the official IA Department purpose from the Memphis Tennessee Police Department to show they do more then investigate internal problems.

2. On the argument if the criminal could be brought to justice without a chase, I provided several blurbs from the Michigan DNR (since the accident we have been debating happened in Michigan) officers who were able to give their citation without chasing their suspects.

3. On the re-vamping of departmental chase policies I provided a link to one of the largest police forces in the nation (L.A.P.D) who have changed their chase policies.

See I stated I have provided facts to support my argument but never stated all my post with opinions had facts in them

Do not try to put words to my mouth.

 

“Ya’ll” know sometimes when your panties get in a wad a simple shift in your chair will release them and make you feel better.

 

Big Black,

not that I'm backing out, but this thread has run it's course. I wasn't trying to put words in your mouth as you implied. Our points have been made. We know where we all stand on this issue. It dies appear that we agree to disagree. Let's leave it at that.

Oh, by the way. Quit quoting every line of every paragraph in almost every post you make. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Those of us with bad grammar, reading skills, typing skills, or even comprehension find it tough to read [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] j/k

 

Hey we all have our opinions and we have stumbled onto one I am very passionate about. If we ever meet I will buy you a beverage of your choice.

Keep the shinny side you good friend and happy trails.

Oh yea that’s "does" not "dies" LOL J/K but had to throw that one in.

 

Usually do Natural Light, but since your buying I'll take a Sam Adams! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Where I work, I see a lot of quads on the street. And the cops there(philly) will hit you to stop you from riding the quad on the streets. I don't see the problem. In the state that I live, and in the other state that I work in, it's illegal to ride your quad on the road. If you do, you deserve what you get. IT'S ILLEGAL!!! Why hold the cops legal for an injury that occurs for breaking the law. That's as stupid as the way you can get sued when someone breaks into your house and gets hurt on the way in. And that has happened..

you breaks the law and get caught, you gots to pay!!

 

I apologize for my rude comment earlier It was in poor taste...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

 

In fact, I wish the cops put more effort into stopping quads on the street. If they did, my freind that had his banshee stolen might have gotten it back. If you have a kid and he runs from the cops, why not accept responsibilty for it. You raised him. Is it just that much easier to blame your childs' stupid actions on others? Perhaps TV might be a good place to start your blame. Forgetting you put him/her in front of it in the first place to skip your responsibilty. Sorry, I don't get it. The kid broke the law. It's all fine and good until it affects you. Bet if someone stole your car, you'd want the cops to get them, not pull back and wait until they stopped and maybe caught them again.

Jeez, generally, I don't get political, but how many liberals in this thread defending the poor innocent kid(WHO BROKE THE LAW AND DESERVED TO BE CHASED!!!!!!).. Have I ever rode on the streets? Yes. Have I ever run from the cops? Yes. In car, streetbike, and quad. After it happened, I didn't go online to brag about it. Had I or the police involved in the chase hurt someone, I would have been responsible. Not the police. When you choose to run, you accept full responsibility for your actions. Most of the times I've dealt with the police, they have been understanding, and in fact did me great favors..
