A weapon is a weapon is a weapon. Don't shoot at my family with one of these things, I don't care what you call it.
I woulden't dream of it Paul. At least where I work those things are only used on people who are trying to harm others. You don't strike me as that type.

The evidence about the militarization of the police force is out there for all to see. Most people either don't want to believe it or won't believe, or think it's a \"real good idea\". Have you read what happens when the terror level goes to \"red\"? Seems FEMA and Northern Command take over the civilian govt. State and local govts. will be run by the military, especially the police. Yup, I'd say you're dead on with your assessment. Yeeha.
We have a government of the people, by the people, for the people... so, how is it that this regime can be stopped?
Like us, the law enforcement grunts, non officer types, are going to be stuck in the middle if it ever comes to the point of rediculous orders againts the citizens rights enmasse. Do we blame them for following orders? Sure, someone, some where is going to have to put their foot down and say no, but where along that chain will that happen?
