I searched for "Mexican Dike". I got a list of Mexican restaurants in Dike, TX

Flooded by what? Where? What does Mexicali have to do with most of California? I lived in California most of my life and I have no idea what you are referring to. Some people are convinced California is going to break off and fall into the ocean. It may break off if the Sea of Cortez keeps...

Quote: A tape has just surfaced of what appears to be the actual shooting. I suggest you listen to it and then come to your own conclusions. The tape has been made available to the FBI but it has not yet been authenticated by them. You might want to wait until that is done before listening...

Any possibility the cop may have been able to eithe defuse the situation or subdue the subject if he was better trained? I do know an unarmed person can do a lot of damage. There are any number of women doing life sentences for murder at the women's prison at Chowchilla in California. Why...

That's for sure. The firearms I mean. I inherited quite an arsenal. I sold them because I am a menace with guns and I know it. My vision is terrible and my aim is worse. I could use a rifle most effectively if I grabbed it by the barrel and beat whatever I was after to death with the stock...

'Cause you're stronger than I am? Until very recently I was the owner of over 20 rifles. I couldn't handle any of them one-handed. But then I can't wield an axe either. My view of the police is colored by personal experience. My brother and brother-in-law came very close to being shot at...

You are right. I never said what the guy did was smart. But, while I am not an expert on guns, I find it necessary to use two hands to fire a rifle. If he had the gun in one hand and the cell phone in the other, it would take at least a second or two to drop the phone and raise the gun to a...

I think there are a whole lot of cops who are undertrained and too many use lethal force as a first line of defense rather than the last. Let's see. In recent weeks and months a sheriff's deputy shot his own daughter because he thought she was a burgler. In Florida cops pumped 15 bullets into...

I'll tell you what. There is enough contradictory stuff coming of this confrontation to keep people who are so inclined happily stewing, debating, arguing, suing, blaming, defending, hand wringing, and second guessing for the next decade. They are welcome to it. I'm done. Not my circus. Not...

Evidently the report I read combined what the fellow was with him said happened and the coroner's report. Not good reporting. However, we are going to be hearing a lot more about this. Deadly force was not justified in this case. Deadly force should be used only as the last line of defense, not...

The autopsy report just released seems to support the witness statements I quoted (that he had his hands in the air and that he was trying to surrender) and not the account of the events the police gave. According to the medical examiner there were NO signs of a struggle, he was shot six...

I based my opinion on the best information I had at the time which were the intitial press reports. If that is rushing to judgement, so be it. I've committed worse sins. However, according to my neighbors, the police in this part of the country do not exactly have the greatest of...

I read the intitial press reports. The ones that were written immediately after the incident happened and before all H*** broke loose in Ferguson. I based my opinions on those. I haven't read anything much about the whole mess since. Not my circus. Not my monkeys. So shoot me. For all I know...

You have a point. However, none of the witnesses back up the police version of events. Between the cops and the witnesses I'll take the witnesses. You can believe whomever you like. But you are not in Missouri

Witness statements in the local press contradict what the police are saying. All of them say he was not attacking the police and that he had his hands up when he was shot. Now, that is what I heard on the local news. The local reporters aren't happy with the cops either, by the way. Several...

According to witness statements taken right after the incident, and there were several of them, he was not attacking the police, he was not resisting, and he had his hands up when he was shot. There were no independent witnesses that corroborated what the police said happened. Between believing...

I wasn't there but several witnesses came forward to say he was not resisting and that he had his hands up when he was shot. I can tell you the cops in this state have a real sense of empowerment and due to the good old boy network they are seldom held accountable for their actions.

No matter what he did, an officer does not have the right to use deadly force on someone who is not armed, is not posing a threat, and who has his hands up.

I told myself I would stay off of this thread, but it just keeps getting sillier and sillier. Kind of like the news coming out of Washington.

There just isn't any farm work here to be had. This area is almost all beef cattle and most of the farmers I know don't hire labor. They are small operations and they either do it all themselves or hire the Amish. I can't recall the last time I ever even saw anyone that looked to be of Mexican...
