This example proves that most cops are great people. We already knew that. If the problem is three percent of the officers, then 97 percent of the officers are by definition good. I applaud their action and your topic and headline are ... just another lie. pubby

The issue here was the cooked up intel that Saddam was working on a nuke and had purchased copious amounts of Nigerian yellowcake. This was pushed as evidence by Dick Cheney who was, about as close as you could come, acting as a shadow government. He was pushing some intel and was big time squashing other conflicting intel. It is no coincidence that Scooter Libby, Cheney's Chief of staff, ended up getting convicted for his role in leaking the name of Valerie Plame because Cheney was pissed at her husband (Wilson) who called BS on the yellow cake meme. Cheney squashed the intel offic

That's funny tundra ... and quite a leap but not nearly the leap you've made in thinking you, if you brought this whole subject up, would be able to spin it. Not a chance ... really a bad move and I think we'll all see that when the votes are counted. pubby

When this first came up I brought up Perry Grogan and his issues. I never sought out an ORR on Perry and I doubt there were any. I don't think we had a county personnel director then and the Sheriff is the Sheriff. The only way I found out was there were federal court suits filed against him and I actually had to travel to Rome to the Federal Court Clerk to find these. BTW: I went in search of one and found three including the notice that there was a sealed indictment that never was unsealed and I got reamed by the US attorney for even knowing that it existed. Which is in a way saying t

That's funny! pubby PS: Because Congress and congressional committees are loooozers and we need a strong man to make America Great again.

To my knowledge tundra, no one has released these documents and you were the person - THE VERY FIRST PERSON - who started talking about this on PCOM . As to your other points ... Mr. Leggett resigned from the volunteer fire dept in the event that included the letter of reprimand for apparent insubordination by Chief Earwood when he is supposed to have been told about some salacious act by his superior - An elected post commissioner - and chewed him out. He lost his election as a post commission which was the voters verdict. Further, he was not reappointed to the election board aft

I had a request through other channels to upload the entire meeting. While I didn't spend the time to intersperse the b-roll video ... most of this is a one-camera shoot with the jerky moves as the camera is moved, this does provide coverage of the entire event. pubby

Context does make a big difference. I will admit if an alien from another galaxy were to stop by PCOM, they might be confused but I don't think anyone who experienced that tragic attack would be. pubby

I won't claim to say this but this fellow, at a different time and different place said something that comes to mind.

Here's Colin Powell's take on his presentation to the UN. Why would it take 'courage' for US Intelligence officers to provide frigging intelligence? Because those who weren't with the administration were against them ... and these grunts in the intelligence services knew if they spoke up about the BS being spoonfed to the leaders INCLUDING THE FRIGGING SECRETARY OF STATE TOO! ... they'd lose their jobs. pubby

It is called government secrets and this one - the involvement of the saudis' in 911 - was one that showed the duplicity of the Oil Sheiks and the power of the oil industry to let their 'friends' blow us up with no consequences. Oh, wait, the right even today wants to deny global climate change caused by carbon so we can all keep sending our petro-dollars to folks who blow us up. That is patriotism (not).

Most were forced fed false information from the administration. pubby

And your memory is as faulty as your position. I have never suggested that martial law be implemented or that Bush would do so. You are mistaken. pubby PS: As far as the false conflation of socialism, communism and totalitarianism; you have to know that since 1933 we've been a socialist nation - from the works programs of the 30s to social security and medicare, medicaid, rural electrification (co-ops ), water and sewer grants, federal interstate highways and even mortgage loan interest deductions, we've had a host of social engineering - aka: socialist programs - established an

smokediver: That you would think that liberals and progressives have any interest, desire or history of being in favor of totalitarianism ... which is what you imply ... shows the level of your brainwashing by the ubber right wing. Hell man, it wasn't and never was the conservatives that demanded the vote, expanded the vote or even support democratic institutions, the foundation of which is freedom and liberty. I understand how you got sucked into the position ... you were told that the commies were liberals but what you didn't get is that their so-called socialist revolution and a

Jason Anavitarte is a stuck up, self-important ass, IMO, who is not only self-centered but an opportunist who ran as a liberal in DeKalb county but now comes across as the tea party's tea partier from what I gather. Other than lobby against public hospitals - he's officially a lobbyist - his other act of note in his right-wing incarnation is he ran for a commission post a few years ago and was soundly rejected by the voters. We all know government is made up of people and people are far from perfect. We all recognize that some corruption, favoritism, etc. does exist but those who act in tha

A couple of things. They do have security cameras that observe what is being loaded and unloaded. More importantly, the way air traffic control works is that everyone declares their origin and their destination ... which means that a jet flying from say Haiti would declare its intention to land at PJU ... and the DEA would be on hand to discover them if necessary. Radars are really quite good these days and drug interdiction from air smuggling is a continuing effort with pretty good success. That said, back in the Reagan Administration a local man who was working with the white house

Sounds almost like Arlo Guthrie saying what he thought the shrink at the draft induction center in the song Alice's Restaurant ... "I want to kill, I want to kill, kill, I want to see blood and gore and veins in my teeth,... eat dead burnt bodies, kill, kill, kill, ...I started jumping up and down yelling Kill, Kill, KILL ... and he started jumped up and down with me YELLING KILL, KILL, KILL .. and the sgt. came over and pinned a medal on me and said 'you're our boy.' " Sounds like the folks who perpetrated this crime ... BTW: I wasn't Liberals who came up with the message of the

Yeah, they can fly in all sorts of commodities from insecticides to poisons to literally drugs and bombs in a general aviation airport. And because of the more lax security at these non-passenger facilities, you might not even know it. Because I knew that, that is why I always wondered what was wrong people as cargo ... that being the primary difference between a general aviation and commercial passenger airport (the cargo and the security.) pubby

We've had massive strikes ... and no martial law ... pretty doggone big race riots in multiple cities (1960s when they were assassinating leaders left and right) and there was no martial law. We may have some curfews if things get out of hand in some cities but for the most part the only people talking about this are the ultra right which thought, for instance, that in 2011 if they took over two or three federal facilities (VA hospital, Dept. of Ag facility, research facility) they would so inspire the numbnuts and wingnuts that they would attack other federal facilities, bringing about

I was responding to smokediver ... who was blaming the attack on Barak Obama. I'm surprised you didn't do a ditto. pubby

I suppose to make amends I must take an inventory of the millions of orange-haired bigots in the world ... be right back. Well I'm back. Searched everywhere and there was only one orange-haired bigot ... and we all know his name (Trump) ... I don't think one can be a bigot if the dismissed class is one individual. The tragedy in Nice France on Bastille day is just another expression of hate on the part of people who are haters. I actually think the hating is the more important aspect of their personality rivaled only by their arrogance that their end times is based on their

All I got ... bull. Bigotry is banning all Muslims from entering; Bigotry is saying, "See there, there is my African-American" Bigotry is saying that a Federal judge, born in Indiana, should recuse himself from hearing your case because his parents were Mexican immigrants and that means he hates him and can't judge the law on someone who committed fraud. Hell, bigotry is thinking that eating a dish from Taco Bell on Cinco de Mayo proves you're not bigoted. That is just off the top of my head without the least bit of research. It doesn't even take into consideration his participa

By the same reasoning you don't try to frame the conflict as between Christianity and Islam; you don't send another half-million troops to wage a losing war of occupation and you don't threaten to arm with nukes the folks whose money and citizens were responsible for 911 ... like the orange bigot has. pubby

Townhall meeting explores concerns raised by bogus BLM march in Paulding In a quickly-called town meeting elected leaders and leaders in the religious community met with over a hundred concerned black citizens to address concerns over messages relating to the Black Lives Matter march that turned out to be a hoax. Posted on the Sheriff's facebook page, the apparently bogus notice that a march was planned drew all sorts of comments; some overtly racist, that were so disturbing that the Sheriff ended up deleting the lot. Still, the outpouring of vitriol from some in the

I am outraged ... I also know if the notion was that only one in hundred people were carrying, the presumption would be that most folks are not armed. That is the way it was when I was growing up. Most folks didn't carry and if they did, it was a shotgun locked on the rack behind the seat in your pickup. With as many guns out there and the laws favoring carrying, both open and concealed in many jurisdictions ... and the notion from "satisfaction" - that he can't be a man if doesn't smoke the same cigarette as me ... I mean carry the same gun ... officers are notably overly cautious and
