Oddly enough, those are all the same reasons I view them as no different than any other LE agency. Go figure.

True, but then the g43 hasn't been released yet either. :lol:

Like several others here, I am greatly looking forward to the G43 simply for the effect it will have to the secondary market for the M&P Shields. I have no interest in owning a Glock but will be looking for the Shields the Glock fans will dumping to buy a G43.

The posted article contains links to two summaries of the report. They do a far better job than I could.

This article is worth a read. http://m.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/03/conservatives-start-to-take-the-ferguson-report-seriously/387835/?utm_source=SFFB Most especially read the Red State article it references and uses as source for quotes such as "Even if you read only the parts of the Ferguson DOJ report that come directly from the files of the FPD (which is to say, files that would be most favorable to the Department), the report paints an incredibly damning picture of the Ferguson Police Department. No conservative on earth should feel comfortable with the way the Ferguson PD has been operating for years, even according to their own documents." And "I am not going to sugar coat this or engage in a lot of pointless throat clearing here - the report, taken as a whole, even in terms of material collected exclusively from FPD documents, is incredibly damning of police and municipal court practices in Ferguson. Anyone who can read the actual report itself and be comfortable with the fact that citizens of an American city live under such a regime is frankly not someone who is ideologically aligned with me in any meaningful way. The practices of the FPD and Municipal Court are destructive to freedom and in blatant violation of our constitutional rights, and they depend for sufferance on the fact that most people are not willing (or, in the case of most of Ferguson's residents, able) to mount an expensive legal fight for relatively trivial amounts of money such as are involved in a traffic ticket. Evidence of the Ferguson PD's knowledge of their blatantly unconstitutional practices (especially with respect to the habitual issuance of arrest warrants for missing a payment) is shown in the report by the way that the Municipal Court regularly drops these warrants as soon as a defendant appears with counsel. I am singularly unimpressed with the argument that the report should be dismissed because it is the product of the Holder DOJ's dissatisfaction at the resolution of the Michael Brown case. The implicit admission in such an argument is that many police departments are worse; if so, the proper response is not to excuse the Ferguson PD but rather to acknowledge that there are, in fact, systemic problems that exist on a widespread basis that should also be solved." The Red State piece was written by a conservative who in reading the DOJ report, approached it in a hostile manner. His words explain the way he read it best. "I took the time over the weekend to read the entirety of the 102-page Department of Justice report on the Ferguson PD ("FPD"). I cannot recommend highly enough that you do the same. During the course of this reading, I intentionally read it with as jaundiced of an eye towards the Department of Justice as possible. I intentionally disregarded all commentary regarding what the DOJ investigators reported that they saw, and also all of their reported interviews of the citizens of Ferguson and FPD officers. I decided to say to myself, let's assume that everything DOJ says is a lie, and also that everyone who was willing to talk to the DOJ during the course of their investigation either lied or shaded the truth. What remained astounded me." So before you engage in a reflexive defense of the FPD, one should understand what they were really doing according to their own documents. Also before you say that the practices there are no worse than anywhere else, (which I would agree with) maybe you should understand how terrible of a situation that really is and recognize it as a bug and not a feature.

Find a local bank or credit union. Don't punish yourself with the terrible treatment of one of the nationals.

Innocent people were already caught up in it. You had a predatory gang preying on a disenfranchised population as a source of revenue. Holder and Obama aren't the only racists in this picture.

How about we just stop the government stealing money from folks and giving it to other folks for any reason at all. Just a suggestion.

How dare you wish to deal with people on a voluntary basis without the use of force and violence to enforce your will on them. Don't you know it is only right that you be threatened with kidnapping or murder if you refuse to pay tribute to pay their salary. How dare you fail to provide the proper deference and worship, let alone wish to unsubscribe from their "service". The gall of people like you is amazing. You really should hop on a flight to somewhere else and deal with another gang of murderous robbers who call themselves a "government".

You're not capable of governing yourself, but you can vote for someone to govern you and millions of others.

I'm so sick of this crap.

Wait, wut? :lol:

The Oscars for Iñárritu and Birdman were well deserved. It was an inventive, original and altogether amazing film. Bravo.

I first got my permit 5 or 6 years ago and it only took 19 days, wife's was quicker by 3 days. I am wondering how this streamlines the process.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2015/02/18/second-amendment-protects-people-with-old-nonviolent-felony-convictions/ Rest at link. I believe this is a significantly positive development with regard to 2A rights and the (in)justice system.

Wrong thread.

At the Walmart DC here in Shelbyville, covered in ice. I suspect it is going to be a fun evening. I haven't got all the details, but apparently one of our trucks jackknifed in the early AM. Driver was ok, but not a good night.

I really don't need this crap.

Something more like this. Or this.

I'm about ready to give up on jeans all together, and move to a male unbifurcated garment.

Everything that rises must fall...
