    Angry Indirect heat and burn

    We (civilians) always receive the short end of the stick in most arguments, especially one concerning law enforcement officers. Politicians use police officers as an excuse to ban so called assault rifles saying it will protect them, do you ( officers ) think this is right? and why ?

    Interesting way to start a dialog. Do you regularly spit in someone's face before you start to talk to them or begin your conversations with, "Hey, jackass..."?

    They use any excuse they can think of. Don't blame us for what others do. Most cops are pro 2nd Amendment.

    Then perhaps, just perhaps, you would like to repost your comment in language that does not represent or present itself as an insult to the intelligence gathered in these hallowed forums.

    Your original post certainly resembles a slap to the face of law enforcement.

    What you mean to say and what others interpret it to say may not agree. Wording is everything.
    Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence!

    I thought it was a thread about BBQ chicken.

    Of every one hundred men, ten should not even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the One... One of them is a Warrior... He will bring the others back.

    Why don't you go to Ask a Politician. Your question is akin to asking cows why Dr's dislike red meat.
