This isn’t reforming health care, or fixing the economy, or stopping the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. This is SIMPLE.

That Obama doesn’t do it — speaks volumes.

Yes, the officers will be questioned. Just as every other time officers are questioned, the end result will be THEY ACTED APPROPRIATELY. I have seen this time and again.

Silly me! I thought that now that phone cameras have been invented, and some of these actions are actually filmed, it would make a difference. But no! The cops say that what you see isn’t REALLY what happened. Ah, yes — who are you gonna believe? Me or your lying eyes?

This is 2009! Isn’t it time little scaredy cats (The gays are coming to GIT me!!!!”) just go hide under their beds? If THIS is what passes for the police, I will let my daughter protect me. I don’t need WATBs around.

And don’t you love the cops getting SO upset over someone making hand gestures at them? hahahaha Wusses!

Have patience – civil rights issues aren’t solved overnight. He has only been in office 5 months. Read his statement he said today that I posted above. Why are you so hateful about this?

Yes, of course, let’s do have more patience. He’ll do something any time now. Just give it one or two more Friedman units, and we’ll get something more than lip service from the eloquent one.

Kindly have some patience and stop attacking Obama. He just said this today. Was civil rights an overnight proposition?

“We seek an America in which no one feels the pain of discrimination based on who you are or who you love, and I know that many in this room don’t believe that progress has come fast enough, and I understand that,” he said. “It’s not for me to tell you to be patient anymore than it was for others to counsel patience to African-Americans who were petitioning for equal rights a half century ago. But I say this: We have made progress, and we will make more. And I want you to know that I expect and hope to be judged not by words, not by promises that I made, but by promises that my administration keeps … We’ve been in office six months now. I suspect that by the time this administration is over, I think you guys will have pretty good feelings about the Obama administration.”

Good to know the areas around San Diego to skip if I ever visit.
It’s disturbing how many off the wall people there are in this country. The escalation in people acting out is even more disturbing.

Interesting that they might participate in a police raid with the Texas ABC and Ft Worth PD.

The suburban region north of the (fairly progressive) City of San Diego but south of arch-conservative Orange County (the OC) is called North County – which stained in red, like its neighbor to the north, but not quite as bad. CA-50 (the district Busby is in and contesting) consists of about 2/3rds of North County. As a city dweller, I have an instinctive dislike for the reddish-hued suburbs in general and North County in particular. If you’re a Veronica Mars fan, the CA-50 part of North County is called Neptune, CA and correctly portrayed correctly as being dominated by corrupt rethugs and an abusive sheriff and police apparatus.

Not being a Californian, I’ll bow to your judgement on that.
