And seeing how these big pickup trucks drive here, I'm happy to see police on the roads.

As for shooting dogs, if a dog comes rushing up on me, I don't know if he's smiling or pi**ed. I don't know if his wagging tail means he's happy or mad. But I'm sure not going to get bitten to find out!
Police carry guns as well so citizens having carrying guns is a wash. Arresting a 250 lb man of any race is likely a handful.

Police are getting a bit overzealous about shooting dogs. Animal control wrangles all sorts of animals without shooting them.

I doubt this behavior has increased. We are now just more aware of when it's happening due to social media and such.

So let me get this straight . . . .encountering a large black man makes an officer's job that much more dangerous?

Jeezus, I knew this was Arizona, but damn.

If you're a liberal and don't support Muslim Terrorists, I think you might be the first one I've encountered...it's like all liberals got there marching orders to criticize the cartoonists...where were you when the memo went out?

I think you might actually believe that. Apparently you don't get out much.

I've talked to about 100 liberals since the shooting and they were all pissed at the cartoonists. The Terrorists, not so much. Are you saying that you are a liberal, support the cartoonists 1st amendment right(even if you don't agree or approve of what they did), and don't support what the Muslim Terrorists attempted to do?

I was beginning to think the poster was referring to someone with the first or last name of Arizona.

Speech likely to incite violence has not ever been a form of protected speech.
They are not a hate group.

And yes, even speech that might incite violence is protected.

Who exactly classified them as a hate group?

I also have failed to find the instances where you have taken to task the many art exhibits that are meant to inflame Christians. I also can't find any instances where those Christians have shown up with weaponry meant to kill innocent lives.
