  <snicker> I`ll have to try harder.

  Last night there was a police shooting of a black guy in Minnesota with 
the usual "unrest". The MSM did their part by lying that he was stopped 
for having an air fresher hanging from his rearview mirror (the tags were 
out of date).

  The film makes it clear that she mistook her handgun for her tazer. She 
shouts "tazer, tazer, tazer" to alert the other cops she was going to 
deploy a tazer and said" "oh shit, I shot him" after her gun discharged.

  What will be ignored is the fact that this kid did everything he could 
to create a situation where such a mistake could occur.

  Another incident in the news is this one, where a lieutenant in the Army 
for some reason forgot how to follow instructions...

  Not complying can only escalate an already tense situation.

  But my favorite is this one I saw recently, where a cop lost his job for 
shoving snow in a guy`s face...

  https://youtu.be/r2XJKV3SC6I

  Police should start carrying snow, this guy went from belligerent to 
apologizing after the face wash.

  My friends and I used to do this sort of thing to each other 
roughhousing in the wintertime, didn`t do us any harm, builds character.
