Chucktshoes

Anyone who can make love to his 1911, should probably stick to that. I don't see him being of much use to any woman in his life. 45 caliber, or hundredths of an inch diameter, may be considered "big bore" in the land of pistols but not anywhere else, if you know what I mean.

Briley pkwy and 840 should be your best friends in the Nashville area. The amount of time saved never fails to make up for the extra miles when I choose those routes.

I have absolutely zero dogs in this fight or fucks to give about this event. Still, I imagine quite a few of y'all will get get a chuckle out of this.

Geert Wilders was a speaker. He would definitely be a high value target to the jihadis.

High quality scotch should be savored, not guzzled like cheap rotgut. :P

Forgot to mention, if you don't have some already, get some whiskey stones. They allow you to chill your drink without it becoming watered down due to melting ice. A small amount of water is needed to open up the flavor bouquet, but too much dilutes.

I am big fan of The Macallan. Start with the 12 year. My preference are the cask strength offerings.

If so, it seems it was likely stolen. Might want to take measures to return it. http://wreg.com/2015/04/30/former-u-s-marine-corps-reservist-indicted-for-stealing-and-selling-ammunition-body-armor-and-rifles/

Correction, not union contract but state law gives the officer 10 days before having to answer questions. http://law.justia.com/codes/maryland/2010/public-safety/title-3/subtitle-1/3-104/ Link is to law in its entirety, quoted section below is the pertinent subsection.

One impediment to getting the story is that as stipulated in the union contract, the officers have 10 days before they can be interviewed about the incident.

I saved them off of individual's FB posts.

That's sounds all nice and fine as long as you're not the one getting hit in the head with a stick. And before you say something along the lines of "don't do things that make you need to get hit" remember that for the poor and/or minorities in certain communities their existence was considered reason enough for the hickory shampoo.

His record may explain why he ran. It doesn't explain why he is dead.

That's because peaceful protests don't make for good ratings. There were actually many more peaceful protesters out in Bawlimore than rioters. Here's more from the files of s*** you won't see on the news.http://twitchy.com/2015/04/28/god-bless-him-more-than-1000-baltimore-residents-volunteer-to-help-clean-up-after-last-nights-riots-photos/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Negative. Police have no legal duty to "protect". Edit: bt beat me to it.

From the mid-70s through the mid-80s he was manhood personified. Yet during all that time he was dealing with gender dysphoria. I am imagine this is throwing a lot of people for a loop. My hope is that it will open some hearts and minds to the fact that there are many things about gender and sexual identity that they don't really understand and it will hopefully lead them to be more understanding and accepting of others. I wish Bruce all of the happiness that he can find for himself in his remaining years. 65 years is a long time to hate what you see in the mirror.

I'm honored that my words were that meaningful to you. I was simply trying to head off any issues at the pass as in my estimation, TGO David was quickly coming to the end of his patience with the tone of the anti-LE posts. I wasn't kidding when I described myself as likely the most critical of LE. My positions would justifiably be labeled as extreme. I don't think that precludes us in any way from being able to discuss them in a reasoned and calm manner. I haven't always been so level in my approach here (ain't that right, DaveTN?) and my initial post was a reminder for me and much as anyone else. I just think that it is advisable for all of us to keep in mind that we don't have to agree on a single thing to treat each other with respect.

I would like to offer a word of caution to folks like me who may be critical of policing practices. I've been around here long enough to see this board through various swings regarding law enforcement. I know TGO David has made his support of LE and his aims to have this board to be an inviting place for LE on multiple occasions very clear. Whenever the general mood of the board swings too far into an anti-LE direction, conversations get locked down, folks get banned and the topic becomes anathema. I implore folks to ensure that the criticisms they have to offer regarding LE are respectful, and relevant to Tennessee and/or the particular discussion at hand. I believe that the subject is an important one and discussion of it can be had here if done correctly. We have recently seen an explosion of news stories nationally regarding the wrongdoing of officers. Ultimately I think this is a good thing as it can help serve to reign in excesses in the LE culture that I think have been allowed to flourish in recent years. That doesn't mean we need to post every random story on the subject we come across. Please folks, let's not go too overboard here in this venue and cause another time frame where we aren't allowed to broach the issue. I don't think anyone is well served by that. I am admittedly one of the most critical members of this community of police and policing practices, but I still think we can have this conversation in a reasonable manner based in logic and reason without needless bashing of either side.       ***Not trying to overstep my bounds, or play mod here with this general word of caution. I just don't want to needlessly wear the patience of the administration on this subject or see anyone banned in a heated moment for ill-advised statements.***

I'm kind of surprised there has been any debate at all on this. It no big secret that I am extremely suspicious and distrustful of police, yet even I don't see any problem with what this officer did. The job of a cop makes this individual to be less likely to be in the right, but in this case, he did what any other citizen would have been justified in doing.

Even I don't feel the use of force was excessive in this case. In fact, I believe that it was commendable in that it kept him from being made into swiss cheese from officer bullets.

The EU is no longer canon. Disney/Lucasfilm announced that at the outset of the filming of VII. The story told by the new trilogy will be unencumbered by having to hold to EU lore.

For the younger cats.

Yet only one of the losers has qualified immunity protections for the violence he engages in daily as part and parcel of his job. He committed an aggressive act of violence because he was insulted by an individual who did not respect his authoritah.

I'm going to be getting one for the truck within the next couple of days. I've been meaning to get one for a while to cover my ass in case I end up killing one of these suicidal 4 wheelers in the Nashville area. Brake checking a 40 ton truck in the rain with your whole family in the minivan isn't the brightest idea.
