You continue to be the king of ad hominen arguments.

I pasted the definition before, but I will do it again. There is a chance you did not read it before:

Quote:
An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is an attack on an argument made by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, rather than attacking the argument directly.

Donald Trump said he was in favor of capital punishment for cop killers. I think it's time. That might stop some of this. It sure would give the bad guys pause.

This story about the female police officer is tragic beyond words.

In the other thread you stated that you would not allow guns that shoot more than two shots and nobody needs that kind of firepower and yet here you discuss your impending purchase of a pistol.

I don't think you understand what "ad hominen" means.

No you're not.

Um , yes we did, it is in the link and it wasnt updated. granted, the link only says they were shot on arrival, but the fact that all 3 officers were probably should have kick started your critical thinking.

That isnt going to help, at least in this situation, the guy murdered his own wife.

I also read elsewhere that she had gone through training, but left for personal reasons.

http://www.fox5dc.com/news/local-news/98310992-story

And it was stated that her dad had come from Iraq and committed suicide...that may have been the reason for the "personal reasons" when she had made an attempt before. And then she came back and tried it again, getting sworn in on the 26th.

I do wonder why the timestamp on the Officer Down Memorial page shows comments from the 29th? Even EST right now it's not the 29th.

I've been boycotting the Media for decades, so I don't necessarily click on links. Notwithstanding the fact that she probably wasn't qualified to wear a badge, it would seem their department is severely lacking in training fundamentals.

You roll up silent to a DD.
