Wow, ya think?

Should every poster have a dictionary and a grammar book?

At least two handguns, sometimes three... a rifle and or a shotgun, OC spray, stun gun/ taser, ASP/ blackjack/ PR24/ nightstick, at least one tactical knife, sometimes three, radio, body armor.

Some are even more armed than that if they have a Kubaton or Stinger as well..... Stinger self defense article by Pete Kautz Alliance Martial Arts Comtech

They're good for scaring kids, woman and elderly.....that's about all. The 18+ MAN would punch 'em and knock them out with the first blow. Don't even get knives, firearms and blunt force weapons involved. The overconfident guy with the big mouth always dies first.
This clown has a radio and maybe if he is lucky OC spray. Don't forget the beat up Ford Explorer that is so carboned up it has no midrange or high speed capabilties due to years patrolling the mall parking lot.

Exactly the correct solution to the black genocide problem in America!

Black people have a right to have an all black police force while white areas should be forced to endure an all white police force in their area.

Can you find enough black people that are ready, willing, and qualified to go to the Law Enforcement Academy and become police officers?
If so, GOOD, do it!
If not, then what?

I vote we pull police out of any area that doesn't want them.

Since I'm paying, probably more than my fair share for the police, let's keep them in my neighborhood, and armed. I don't mind increasing the number of bottled waters I hand to the local cops when they sometimes sit on my street.
