Ok!! now my head hurts from all of this education a 70 year old brain is trying to diciphur so I will leave this to folks with much more younger brains than mine. Besides that I didn't like Science class in school either..............

ok and thank you for clearng that up for me. ................

Here is one of the links I found and You will have to figure out tha rest cause it uses both phrases Gizmodo and Space Force. https://gizmodo.com/heres-the-official-plan-to-create-the-u-s-space-force-1828225436

You might not be as far off as you think you are Dave. Part of what was being discussed on the news last night was VP Pence and his creating a 6th branch of our military in outer space known as Gizmodo. Trump put him in charge of getting it done by 2020. They may be going to convert the observatory and surrounding area to be used for that operation.................

I was listening somewhat to the news last evening while on computer and there was some discussion about our Defense systems in space being updated or something to that nature but I was not really paying that much attention. They did mention our Nuclear Missile Defense in space so it might be something about what they are doing with that..............

This is not the first time something like this has happened.. The google search engine is full of incidents of police going to wrong house and home owners being killed during the raid. One man was killed by officers while trying to serve a warrant at the wrong house. Another man was killed by police in his home due to a fake call of a hostage situation and the list goes on. I am not defending the officer at all for what she did. I do have questions that will never get answered because the only one that can answer them is dead. 1 question is why did he not give some kind of response to the officers commands. Any reply would have been better than none. Second was why was the man standing in a totally dark apartment? The answers are not going to change the outcome of what happened this time but might shed some light so things like this don't happen again. Maybe next time an incident like this comes up the person will respond to the officer and live to tell about it.................JMHO

Do ya think????.......................

When my friend got married he planned on staying married for ever. He made great money and she wanted for nothing she didn't get including giving up his boat and nothing was enough for her. She did mention that she wished he could be around more and he said he did to but there was no way he could not make a living and put food on the table. He didn't divorce her. She divorced him. Now he has a complete new outlook on marriage. He says it's for married people. He is getting ready to buy a new Peterbilt next month. He will be trading in his 2010 on a 2018. He said when he trades trucks the 2010 will have been to the moon and back and have 480,000+ miles on it. He is contracted with Land Star freight Company. They give him a load going to California and when he unloads In California He goes and picks up another load they have waiting for him out there to bring back east. He hauls two big Ford vans west and brings a load of Hot Tubs back east. He began driving for his Uncle at age 18 and at age 20 bought his first rig of his own. He just turned 36 years old and is debt free. When he buys his new Peterbilt he will write a check for it. His contract with Land Star ends in 10 years and in 10 years he plans on retiring and going fishing. I asked him about how confortable he felt with leaving his cabin in the woods with the truck and boat and just an alarm system and he said he also has a childhood friend he went to school with staying at the Cabin as added protection and an AR15. His friend is disabled and Steven kind of looks out for him and visa versa. Stevens Nephew makes sure there is plenty of food there for Cecil and checks in on him often. Well, I'm sure folks are tired of reading such a long post but I am bored today so typing helps me with that. Hope ya'll understand................

I have a friend that drives truck for a living. He owns the Peterbilt and flat bed trailer and make big bucks cause he takes the loads most drivers dont want. He spend a lot of time in California and lives in east Tennessee. He bought a big beautiful home on 10 acres of land and paid it off in 7 years. so at age 30 his house and his rig were both paid for. He loves to fish and owned an older model bass boat but was in great shape. Then in a whirl wind courtship he was married. It was not going to last and everyone could see it but him. 4 years into it things began to go south. He gave her anything she wanted new car, money to go shopping a beautiful home to live in and she new he was a road driver when she met him but she didn't know he enjoyed fishing until he would come in off the road and spend time doing things with her and then he would go fishing. She finally put it on the line. It's either me of that damn boat. In order to keep her happy he sells the boat and even gives her the money he got from it. She use the money to pay a divorce lawyer to divorce him. He was packing his bag to go back on the road when they served him with the papers. She told him she would be out of his house by the time he got back home so he called his nephew and his wife and ask them to come and stay at the house while she was packing to leave. When he got back in town, he put the house up for sale and it sold quick. Next time he got home he bought 5 acres of land and had a 1 bedroom Log Cabin with the bedroom being a master bed room for a king size bed. There is a garage beside the Cabin that is 30X30 and in the garage is a New Red FX Skeeter Bass Boat and beside it is a new Red Chevy truck to take it to the lake. There is a sign over the front door of the cabin that reads. You can lay here but you can't stay here!! He did everything with his house money and had change left over. He just turned 36 and loving life........LOL

"Failure to grasp the situation"

If they come from Outer Space according to many historians, Earth was visited by aliens long before man was here so why would they be illegal if they were here first??

Growing up was fun!!! Growing old SUCKS.....................

Welcome to Middle Tennessee from a neighbor just down the road from you in Gallatin Tennessee................

I think that has been happenng already Dave. There are police departments that take pride in their officers and train them to be the best they can be and then there are police departments that just hire warm bodies to have more presence of officers on the streets and have almost zero training. Those are the ones that alway seem to be making the nightly news. My Grandson went to work in one of those and he quit them in 2 weeks because of the way that particular department was operated. He got in a situation where he needed backup and it took almost 30 minutes for back up to show up. By the time it arrived he had handled the situation and when he got back the office he questioned why it took so long for back up to arrive. They informed him that if he needed back up maybe he was not qualified to be a cop. He turned in his badge right then and said maybe they needed a new policy and better training. He went to another department in another county and got a full training program at the Metro Police Academy before he was put on the street and when an officer radioed for back up it was there with in a matter of minutes. All cars close by responded imediately. So yea Dave you are correct about each department being different. Any police department that offers on the job training is not someplace I would prefer to work..........JMHO

Have you ever considered what it would be like to live here and not have police officers? I would hate to even think what it would be like!! The job is not bad but the few bad apples doing the job or not doing their job is the real issue. As far as the politicians making the laws. Just making the law does not automatically require that a police officer must enforce any law. They are allowed to use their own decretion when enforcing any laws and how they enforce them. As far as the 2nd Amendment goes it will take a really major change in the Supreme Court to get that done and just a couple years ago the court ruled the 2nd Amendment to be 100% Constitutional and it shall remain that way so I don't see that changing any time soon. So the law enforcement must by law follow the decision of the Supreme Court. That means the police won't be coming for your guns any time soon unless you do something stupid with them........JMHO.

I did some MP assignments while serving in Military and there was times I had to work or interact with Civilian Police Officers and for the most part they were good officers. Had a couple times that the Civilian Officers would push the envelope into a gray area and we had to put them in their place which didn't take much convincing since they didn't have the training we had. They would fall in line pretty quick.

Sorry to hear about your daughter and her drug situation. I have a grandson that has the same issue and I will tell you waht I told my son. Don't give up on them and keep trying to get help for her. My son has been going and getting him out of jail time after time and I told him to quit getting him out. Let him stay in jail till his court date and then go to court with him and ask the DA or Asst DA to have him put in a court ordered drug rehab center. Not the one that is voluntary but the manditory one that requires them to remain at the center. As long as he keeps getting him out it is not going to help him at all. I am going to his next court date and I will talk to the DA if my son won't. I know it is hard for my son to think about locking him up in a rehab facility but I will do it for him to take the burden off my son.

Netting shad for bait is still legal. They have casting nets people use these days to catch shad bait fish. Yellow Bellies are legal if caught in a casting net as they are not considered a game fish but are good eating for sure.

I am very sorry to hear of your friends passing and prayers will be going out for his son and family. I hate to hear it when a person has a monkey on their back and the Monkey wins.

I cannot and will never agree with your opinion on this if what you just posted here is how you really feel about Law Enforcement Officers! To group them all as bad is totally wrong at so many levels and tosay they are told to be this way by the politicians is even out of the realm of reality........JMHO

If you did it admit it. Arguing is only going to escalate what would be just warning into a full blow arrest..........JMHO

I will not say that things like this don't happen because they do. Everyday in some town someplace things like this happen and I do hope she does file a civil suit and I hope she wins and along with winning the suit I do hope she gets the public apology which I don't she will get. Those don't come as easy as money does in these cases. I agree that if you search the internet your going to find a lot of simlar cases. Some people pass it off as human error. I won't do that. I will call it a rookie move or an over zealous officer just looking to prove something and a person with that type of personality does not need to be a police officer. They are the officers that do give the good officers a bad reputation.

When the officer folllowed me into my driveway and turned his lights on I kind of knew he was wanting me to stop...LOL. I gave him room to get nto my driveway with his car before stopping. His first statement to me was "How are yo doing today sir?" My reply was "fine sir and yours? He asked me for my lcense, Registration and proof of insurance which I provided and he ask me why I was not wearing my seat belt and I said, I am and I opened my door so he could see my lap belt was clicked. He asked me why I had altered the seat belt and I handed him a letter I keep in the Jeep from my doctor explaining why it is altered and he read it and said to make sure I keep it in the Jeep. Then he told me why he pulled me over. My tags had expired in June and I never got a notice. I said "well they never sent me my notice and he said "yea, sometimes they miss some". He wrote me the ticket and he also told me what steps to take to get the ticket dismissed.I signed it and he thanked me and I thanked him and we told each other to have a nice rest of the day. I went and got tags the next day and then went directly to the court clerks office with proof of tags and they said I did not have to report for court and they stamped my ticket as dismissed. I signed it and he thanked me and I thanked him and we told each other to have a nice rest of the day.

I don't have any reason to believe your statement. I have several black friends that live here in Gallatin and they all get along fine with the police. We also have several black officers and I never hear of them being anything but professional when dealing with the public. I do realize that you live in or near Memphis and the atmosphere and enviroment is probably different, I don't know. I can only speak of my experiences with the officers here and in surroundng towns.

I have had the opportunity on a couple occassions in past couple month to talk with police officers from both Gallatin PD 2 weeks ago when I got pulled over for expired tags on my Jeep. The officer was very friendly and polite. Ask me for all my paperwork, license and Insurance and registration and then told me why he pulled me over. He went back to his car and wrote out the ticket. He told me what I needed to do to get the ticket dismissed. I signed the ticket. Handed it back to him. He thanked me and I thanked him. He knew I had a carry permit but it was never mentioned. I was getting ready to go fishing a month ago and was at a launch ramp when a Sheriffs car came in to parking lot and made a round and the officer stopped and ask me what Iwas going fishing for and I said Bass. I had my gun in open carry in clear site but we talked fishing and what baits I was going to use and about that time my partner arrived and the officer wished us luck on catching some fish and drove off. I don't understand how people say they can't get along with police officers. What I experienced with those two officers is pretty much what I have experienced my whole life while having a police encounter.
