Why is this even on a barrel forum? This is ridiculous, this board is so over run with stuff not even remotely relevant to barrel racing and all it does is cause fights.
I came back here after a few months hiatus because of all the bull **** and I'm not coming back this time(go ahead, say the classic "good ridence" lol).
Seriously why do you even bother.....and yes maybe you should ask the site owner..... |

Location: Baden, PA | CurlyQ - 2014-12-21 3:26 PM fatchance - 2014-12-21 12:14 PM I would love to believe this will be the last we see of this, but I do fear the worst. The one person that can stop this is "we the people". WE need to stand as a nation of one. If our elected government can't find a way then we need to. Zero tolerance of violence towards those who sign up to defend us on a daily bases should be understood, and if your found guilty of that it should hold our highest punishment. As it stands in this day in age we accept this act of violence towards our protectors as dying in the line of duty, but this is not the case, these men and women are being sacrificed due to what we the people deem the norm, since when is terrorism in our country the norm? Our government as we are talking about this here on BHW is tearing us down again by trying to tell us what is torture and terrorism and then blend those lines of what we should accept as right.... THAT IS WRONG!
One policemen or women is killed every 58 hours in our country and most we never hear about. But we now are witnessing and hearing about our policemen and women being killed in an act of terrorism from the hands of fellow citizens who have so lost their way they are no longer citizens that we the people recognize, but yet our government still allows them to have these attitudes and continues to allow them to voice it, saying it their rights. If we don't draw a line in the the USA sand on these issues we might as well start using the term "killed by friendly fire". Laugh if you will it's your right, but if we don't wake up it could happen? Examples need to be made of those who are citizens or not that we are a country of ZERO TOLERENCE towards terrorism.
Many prayers to the police officers families. 
its up to us, I see it in my own workplace, city, neighborhood. The us v. them mentality. There's been few consequences in the past generation and they remain shackled to the govt and it causes anger and resentment. They don't know how to think for themselves so the hatred gets regurgitated throughout generations. Time to take back your neighborhoods. Doesn't matter that they break the law and cause their own hurts...... Who hands out whatever discipline they receive? Hate mangers, sharp ton, et all, perpetuate the discontent. All by design.
And if it wasn't for all the hatred, "racial strife", and the induced miscontents of thier followers, Sharpton, Jackson, Farakahn, Rev. White and some of the others would be out of a job. |

I thought I was quoting itsme saying this has nothing to do with our dear leader. Maybe someday I will learn to work the iPad.
Question for komet as well. Are you saying it is ok for a citizen to judge LEO's then carry out the death penalty because they might have or some other officer might have abused the power given to them?
I don't know where you got that interpretation. Apparently you learned English from a different sort of dictionary than the Webster's I grew up with. I go out there on the internet news sites and read the comments of the readers and most of them agree with me that this was a horribly wrong incident. But a fair number also put police officers up on a pedestal and think they do no wrong. I know some good cops. He|| I know some great cops.... that Will push the authority they are granted with that badge as defined by SCOTUS, and then lie about it later... And it's not just the cops that DO something like this. It includes the cops that see them do this and don't include it in their report. Where I come from a lie by omission is still a lie.
Now... I understand why they do it. This IS a brotherhood of sorts and they have to go with the flow or else be ostracized. Something they cannot afford to have happen if they need others to watch their back someday.
But it just goes to prove my observation. Nobody is perfect. Wearing a badge or not.

Yes there are bad cops.... however, they are the minority. I think you're making some very bold statements. I can tell you before I worked with LE, I had very little respect. Not criminal type disrespect but always thought the worst of them. That they were power hungry, so I am not judging you for feeling that way. However, when you actually know several officers and truly understand what they deal with daily, your perspective chances dramatically.
Now unfortunately many of you will never get this experience but to clump cops as always pushing the limit or trying to get away with things, you're talking about every single group/occupantion in this world. Cops are just criticized more for it.
Also I realize they have more "power." They are to protect and serve and should be held to a higher standard... however, you don't know the facts on how agencies handle any wrongdoing. You only know whats broadcasted on the news. Many agencies have a zero tolerance for this behavior and their investigations are done completely. They have certain criteria they have to met in a court of law.

Years ago I felt this way, and it was why Gail and Dave made other rooms here on BHW for us to all go to. It didn't work because we as a group wanted to be heard as one.
Your from Canada and I hope you never feel as if your country as you know it is getting ripped apart by people who only know how to hate. God Bless and I hope you find a place that feels like a cyber home like this place does to the majority of us.

This is what makes country GREAT.......We are allowed to state our opinions, freely, and even agree OR disagree. These types of topics shake the fiber of our country and "need" to be discussed.

Exactly. And many times, some of the off issues we do talk about effect barrel racing either directly, or indirectly , one way or another. Talking about issues like these allows us a pla ce to discuss them, and in many cases, understand them after they have happened.
This hits close to home for many of the BBs here, so yes it might not be barrel racing specific, but it still effects many on this board.

As we continue to have a President that is attempting to tear our country, as we have known it apart. As long the people we have to protect us being killed you will see that it does affect people who have horses and barrel race or whatever they enjoy doing with their horses. Chit trickles down hill. Our country is losing any sembelence of what most of us grew up knowing. |
