And, again, do you really want to go there? Your posts are riddled with errors of grammar, punctuation and syntax so getting all pedantic over someone else's posts is probably a mistake.

Especially since you're wrong.
PFFFFFFFfffffffftttttt.......

And I should get over it? You keep coming back to it...pot/kettle dipshit. You get over it.

But if you're demanding an apology from me to Matteos...fine, here's my apology. Sorry when you were trying so hard to be cutesey and snarky, you got caught out being such a linguistic dumbass Matteos. Please accept my fucking apology.
LOL.

I don't need or want your apology. If you could write something that is worth reading that would be a start..

You truly are a dissembling fool. Idioms, by definition, aren't supposed to make perfect literal sense. If they did, they wouldn't be idioms. If someone says "It's raining cats and dogs," do you actually think cats and dogs are falling from the sky?

Your MO is apparent to anybody with eyes. You first try to shout people down and, if that doesn't work, you simply make shit up. You get called out on it and you go off on some silly side-tangent rant to distract from your original idiocy/rudeness. Predictably pathetic.

It doesn't justify this kind of shit. Check out the patch this wannabe is wearing. It's not a US Army Ranger tab. It says St. Louis County Police.

Unfortunately, there are probably hundreds of equally well-armed militia or survivalist types with equal or better arsenals.

That's not what the police have this gear for.

Those guys, like Cliven Bundy, get a pass from Law Enforcement.

The Cops are dressing up like GI Joe to keep the "entitlement types" as Zeke would call them, in their place.

Between the terrorist scares of 9/11, the Cliven Bundy types and crime rates in bad areas, police have had (until now) no resistance from anyone in accruing such arsenals. Hell, most of that stuff was leftover freebies from our Mideast follies.

Living around here and having lived in western Europe, I don't get freaked out by the sight of such weaponry. It's all a matter of how it's used. Back in the Baader-Meinhof Red Army Faction days in Germany and Italy, I'd see guys like that fairly frequently.

I agree with you cops are being too militarized. They're getting all the Iraqi war surplus. Sure give them guns, give Swat teams automatic weapons and armored cars. But regular police don't need battle gear.. And what is that, a sniper rifle? Why does anyone outside SWAT need a sniper rifle. We don't need a militarized force here. We have the Posse Comitatus Act for a reason.... Turning the Police into a military seems to be some lame work around and it should not be allowed to continue.

I don't like seeing civilians looking like soldiers. I don't want the cops having shit like this, nor the right wing militia types, or the drug cartels, or anybody else except the military. If the civilian police find themselves outgunned by the bad guys I'm for tossing the Posse Comitatus Act in the shit can and sending the 101st Airborne in after them.
