Demographically speaking, this is a very good trend. My worry is that that multiculturally and racially focused bean counters and bureaucrats infect any data they get near, similar to ebola. So I am not sure if the data is clean. And, no, I don't even trust the FBI, Census Bureau (which is totally political at this point), or the other old standbys. Still, I think it is, mostly true as you suggest. As long as you are sifting the data, and finding social sampling from other reliable sources.<br /><br />I don't mind the bad guys dying. I just wish that those who use a gun to defend themselves would become better shots. The predators seem to be a small but very virulent group. Well supported in their *cough* communities, but with enough of them going down, it simply doesn't matter. Until the war between 1st and 3rd worlders. It is inevitable but should be quick and rather one-sided.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-83634004376684379612014-08-17T13:24:34.099-04:002014-08-17T13:24:34.099-04:00My primary concern is that things are heating up. ...My primary concern is that things are heating up. Look at the justified shootings by citizens. Now some of this is probably due to "castle" legislation in some states but I think it is due to more and more violent activity being met by armed citizens. <br /><br />The only reason why the homicide rates are not sky high is that our EMT response and ER technology has improved exponentially over the past few decades.<br /><br />Studies have indicated that the homicide rate should be much, much higher. Just the number of people receiving serious gunshot wounds increased by almost 50% between 2001 and 2010 (from about 20,000 per year to 30,000) while the number of murders have decreased by 9% (from 16,000 to 14,600).sig94https://www.blogger.com/profile/11460563552989533923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-47715330035351247832014-08-17T08:51:00.182-04:002014-08-17T08:51:00.182-04:00Perhaps, maybe, certain levels of crime are going ...Perhaps, maybe, certain levels of crime are going up. In the current hoo-haa the slain (poor and innocent) subject was robing a grocery store only minutes before meeting up with the cop who killed him. Perhaps - only conjecture at this point - the robber thought the police were after him and jumped the cop. Maybe. Perhaps. What is needed - but NEVER forthcoming - is an unbiased witness or two. What we do know is that a bunch of small-town police are not capable of handling a major confrontation.WoFathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616237986583760584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-41914845668377072014-08-17T02:25:29.228-04:002014-08-17T02:25:29.228-04:00G.S.,

I'll second that. Thankfully, mankind as with most, is greater in the whole than in parts.<br /><br />I do have a prejudices beyond, though. Nephilim simply do not like those bearing the Mark of Cain. They hide behind their mark, use it as an excuse to do what they do. We do not hide, so strong not even the angels could fix it. Took God and a flood. And while I have separated from my kin, in kneeling to Christ, my old distaste remains. I have learned to love men, through God. But have no interest or want of loving the others, quite often, if with some difficulty, eschewing my own. My kind are, generally, elitist. And, if there was no God, would be the next, and very terrible, in line.*<br /><br />(*story time, sort of)Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-30266694570744605572014-08-16T14:17:51.398-04:002014-08-16T14:17:51.398-04:00AS GROUPS (not individuals) I don't like cops,...AS GROUPS (not individuals) I don't like cops, media people OR felons.

I agree about dealing with the truth, but not negotiating with criminals and terrorists, especially when that endangers the officer and his family. <br /><br />I am really annoyed about Ferguson, especially if it turns out, as I suspect it will, that the punk did strong-arm, and then did resist with what could be reasonably considered an attempt at a lethal act, such as going for the officers gun. And watching the media stir the pot, as usual.<br /><br />Lazy?

These so called reporters are just lazy and their editors who approve it are worse.<br /><br />As a division commander I had to deal with the press all the time. They are truly useless for the most part. Even now and then you'd get a good, honest, hard working reporter and I didn't mind helping them out with a story. Just tell the truth.sig94https://www.blogger.com/profile/11460563552989533923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-20982644047277492672014-08-16T10:19:26.788-04:002014-08-16T10:19:26.788-04:00Good for you.

That makes the media an enemy of civilization. <br /><br />If anything, the stats you are using show that cops use extreme constraint. LEO's deal with criminals daily, generally, citizens don't. If you increased the amount of contact, by typical citizens, there would be a lot more dead criminals. Another thought to consider.<br /><br />As to that last thought being right or wrong, I have to think that it means officers are doing their jobs, not their wants. In that sense, I have to think it is right. Just as the military is there to win, not to enact genocide. The difference can seem subtle, but it really isn't. Only a liberal mind could see the variations as interchangeable. Which is probably why they are anti-gun, they think everyone else is a psychopathic as they are.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.com
