The front page of the WaPo this morning should scare the chit out of any thinking human being. Cops with automatic rifles running all over the place. Obviously they do not know how to use them as they could as easily shot out the tires as murder that disturbed woman.

Now this guy is a sick f*@k.

"Representative Tim Griffin, Republican of Arkansas, took to Twitter to imply a connection with the shots fired outside the Capitol and the heated words inside. “Stop the violent rhetoric President Obama, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. #Disgusting,” he wrote, only to delete the message later. "

Nope. Proper procedure in a scenario like this is to take out the driver of the vehicle when that driver won't surrender. A car with flat tires can still run over a pursuing police officer.

Well, at least he deleted the messages. You can still find messages on this board that still want to blame Fox News and Sarah Palin for the actions of that nut job Jared Laughner.

And he remains the master of the false equivalency. Let's see, how many members of this board are members of Congress???

A .357 magnum could stop the engine, they can penetrate an engine block. The police dumped enough lead into the landscape to pollute it for a century. Maybe you are happy with trigger happy cops around but I sure as hell am not.

BTW if he is 'pursuing' how in hell could she run over him?

She was driving a car down Pennsylvania Ave at 80 mph Rob.....I do not think the police had much choice. She had already hit one policeman.
