WTF is Rachel Maddow doing as your Avatar?
And for what it's worth, I don't want to see the whole thing burn. I pray we avoid it.
But I also see it as inevitable if things remain in their current trajectory. Believe it or not, I was a "If you don't want to get shot just follow the damn law!" type when I joined CSF way back when. NCPatrolAR was the beginning of the end of that. The continuing refusal of many in LE to accept responsibility and culpability for the harm many of their members do, whether through negligence or malice, has pushed me into a zero tolerance stance, similar to that taken by many in the LE community, though shining back at the enforcers.
So the report goes they shot the guy's dog then shoot the homeowner because he wouldn't disarm after some people with guns shot his dog?
