Correct...its should have ended with "that you would see any problem with it."

Remember this point later.

If it was sarcasm I'd have made a point to say so. Its the truth. *I* think its a poor risk / reward ratio. *you* think its worth the risk because...fleeing.

And yet somehow you made no point about the article just accused me of hating cops...again. Yet you had no point of discussion about the loss of life (including bystanders). Color me stunned. (hint: that's sarcasm)

Nope. I don't think they can decide that (neither can you above). I think you just have a kneejerk reaction to ANY even slightly anti-office post...including one that wasn't even so much anti-officer as asking the question about their tactics.

I'll now patiently wait for you tell me how I am making things up and I hate the police now.
