Police departments use weapons and tactictics quite literally supplied by the military and the CIA. I'd rather have a cop with his hands visible in belt loops than clutching an assault rifle, or hidden in a tank, in disguise at a protest or mosque, prancing about in wannabe camo, compiling illegal surveillance at the Fusion Center, or smirking behind the joystick of a drone.<br /><br />The attitude problems start at the top.

It was all black and white. <br /><br />Like Norm, I've grown and realized there are a lot of shades of gray and have learned to pause, step back and reassess. <br /><br />Take time (but not too much), *then* act.Jacque Hendrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047347130309840944noreply@blogger.com
