What's a man to do?

from - Buck

I have been surprised that I have not seen more of this on other blogs today.

I first saw it on CBS news early this morning.

By the looks of things a police officer told a guy to get up and then shot him for getting up.

I can remember a time when things like this would have infuriated me but for reasons I cannot explain they just do not infuriate me anymore.

I don't know if that is good or that is bad. I fear a police state but who am I going to complain about a police state to? The police?

Yeah.. well, the homicide dept is investigating, so .. I guess the police are the ones to complain to, if you live long enough. Apparently (incredibly) this guy survived... so that's a silver lining.

this is crazy, and its because of * like this that a lot of people will shoot first at the police... getting more people killed in the long run... a vicious cycle.

I'm fearing a police state, too... not because of a rogue cop - hopefully he will be taken off the streets and dealt with in whatever way the case warrants, through the parts of our system that still work.

I fear the police state becuase the government is becoming more a government of men, not laws. And I complain to y'all about it.

Still hard to believe the guy just back from Iraq get's gunned down in his own back yard.

How about the Police Ethics Commission? ;-)

Unbelievable. This and all the taser stories, for that matter, and dozens more. I guess unbelievable isn't the right word.
