    I am stunned at how quickly they pop up! It seems as if they are there within hours of a shooting ready to cause chaos. How do they mobilize so quickly?

    A Doctor was shot during an armed robbery in a hospital parking ramp in Edina last night. If you can get shot in Edina Minnesota you can get shot anywhere in the metro area. Such BS what a crap hole the Twin Cities have become.

    I guess there will never be a justified police shooting again in this country. I want to move to the top of a mountain in Colorado never to be heard from again....

    Thing is how do you deal with a violent perpetrator? You can't pull up and say sir please get in the car. How about bringing back the night stick for the guys that do not have guns? Or more dogs you can't charge a dog with brutality.

    So this POS refused to do anything he was asked, then reaches for a gun and shoots these officers... But I don't see a whole lot on the news or anywhere else....because he's white for one and two, he shot two police officers on camera. But I guess their lives don't matter?

    I wonder if the grand jury was all black...now that would truly put this to rest. there is always so much more to the story than what we get. If there was a largely black grand jury and they couldn't indict them, then you bet your ass they were justified...

    Independent witness stated they knocked and announced. Cop shot. Return fire. Simple. But people done care about facts anymore.

    A note here- I have read where Nathan Bedford Forrest wasn't a founder of the KKK. Seems like there are two opinions. No one mentions that he left when the KKK became violent. Later, he advocated equality between races.
    Andrew Jackson was a slave trader but it's never mentioned.

    Checked email and got this-
    NEW HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
    Listen to the young people, F-this, F-that, and nary anyone will step up and correct them- even with wife and kids in tow!
    FINALLY - - Someone in the teaching profession had the courage to set the standards so badly needed NOW.
    We watched high school principal Dennis Prager of Colorado, along with Sara Palin and Tom Brokaw on TV a couple of weeks ago....what a dynamic, down to earth speaker.

    A Speech Every American High School Principal Should Give.
    -- By Dennis Prager.

    To the students and faculty of our high school:
    I am your new principal and honored to be so.
    There is no greater calling than to teach young people.
    I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of
    the ideas that have dominated public education in America have worked against you, against your teachers and against our country.
    First --
    this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow or white I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian
    or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships. The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your individual identity -- your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school
    will care about is American.
    This is an American public school, and American public schools were created to make better Americans. If you wish to affirm an ethnic,
    racial or religious identity through school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity, race and non-American nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of America, one of its three central values -- E Pluribus Unum, "from many, one." And this school will be guided by America's values. This includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual orientation or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness.
    Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic, racial or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate
    narcissism -- an unhealthy preoccupation with the self -- while the purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself. So we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, carpentry and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being
    interested in are those based on ethnic, racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you.
    Second --
    I am uninterested in whether English is your native language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking
    and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has united America's citizens for over 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent English language skills, I would be remiss in my duty to ensure that you will be prepared to successfully compete in the American job market. We will learn other languages here -- it is deplorable that most Americans only speak English -- but if you want
    classes taught in your native language rather than in English, this is not your school.
    Third --
    Because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning's elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for Hollywood events than for church or school. These people have their priorities backward.
    Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school.
    Fourth --
    No obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school's property -- whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic events If you can't speak without using the f-word, you can't speak. By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications Commission, plus epithets such as "******," even when used by one black student to address another black, or "*****," even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time
    you leave this school, you will be among the few your age to instinctively distinguish between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene.
    Fifth --
    We will end all self-esteem programs. In this school, self-esteem will be attained in only one way -- the way people attained it until decided otherwise a generation ago -- by earning it. One immediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight.
    Sixth --
    And last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will be devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment
    or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a
    health issue.. There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual or not Christian. We will have failed if any one of you graduates this school and does not consider him or herself inordinately fortunate -- to be alive and to be an American.
    Now, please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of our country. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers
    will hand them out to you.

    everyone pray for the men and women in uniform tonight. They are all that stands between you and the mob.

    2 officers already shot tonight in Louisville.
