And what freedom have we sacrificed by providing the police with the tools they need to carry out their duty; to protect and serve? Perhaps there aren't as many terrorist attacks because they know the capability of our police. And if your loved one was going to be the 101st killed because the police didn't have the tools necessary to stop the threat, you'd wish they had it.
-
Is that the only way to end the threat and is he alone in the building? The police will look for the option that will prevent or minimize collateral damage, as they did in Dallas. A targeted explosive with no collateral damage was judged as the best option to end the active threat. Each situation has its unique issues. But I want our first responders, the police, to have the tools to handle any situation from a crazed gunman to an organized terrorist attack. They should never be at a disadvantage.
-
So you want the police to be at a disadvantage when confronting criminals or domestic terrorists who have implements of war (bombs, explosives, assault weapons). That makes no sense. When an active shooter has shown no regard for innocent victims and refuses to surrender, the time for negotiation is over and the police should have to ability to overwhelm that criminal with whatever means necessary.
-
As long as civilians have access to assault weapons, I want the police to have overwhelming force, not just equal force. The shooter had no regard for others, having shot both civilians and police. He was given the chance to surrender and didn't. The use of whatever force it took to prevent further loss of innocent life was justified.

It's difficult for the first black president to focus on black issues when from the start there was a Congress determined to obstruct, and people, led by Trump, who questioned his legitimacy as a citizen. Remember all the crap he got over the "beer summit".

You downplay my post that explains why it wasn't gross negligence as an op-ed piece, then follow with your own opinion piece that we're then supposed to take as fact. You're a peach. A Georgia peach.

I'm hurt that you would say such a thing. I like postcards. I wish you well in your new country. Will you switch citizenship so you can vote there? Will you become Buffanin(insert country)bywayofAtl? And after 11 hours of testimony, having answered all questions, to say she still lied without proof is lowering the bar to pure partisanship.
-
What country are you going to that you'll recognize? I hope you'll send us a postcard. And the Benghazi hearings were important to discover the facts and learn what could be done better in the future, such as Congress fully funding State Dept security requests, which they have yet to do. The first couple of hearings were sufficient. When it got to the 9th, it had become a partisan waste of money trying to figure out how they could factually blame Clinton. Which they failed to do.
-
Petraeus knowingly disclosed classified information to an unauthorized person. Clinton did not. Petraeus lied to the FBI. Clinton did not. The statute in question requires criminal intent. Sorry the facts don't fit the narrative some of you were hoping for after the Benghazi accusations were disproven. Just the facts.

Nothing, based on history: Ultimately, Comey said his recommendation against charges stems from the fact that there is no precedent for charging someone under similar circumstances. "Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case," Comey said, saying the FBI could not find a single case in which a person was charged with crimes for similar actions.
-
If you're going to cherry pick, then to put it in context: However, Comey said there was not evidence of any kind of coverup in regards to those emails. "We believe our investigation has been sufficient to give us reasonable confidence that there was no intentional misconduct in relation to that sorting effort," Comey said. "Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case," Comey announced after a lengthy recap of the investigation the FBI conducted.

I played with glasses on when I was 11-12. Wore a full cage. Had an elastic strap to hold them on. The problem was them fogging up before there was good anti-fog spray. Had to take my glove off and wipe them quick when the play went the other way. Eventually got soft contacts. Knew a goalie who wore hard contacts, and one fell out during a game. We couldn't find it, so he had to play with one good eye.

Must be tough having that name. Like a boy named Sue.

The rules are they have to protect NMC, so Bogo has to be protected. Kulikov will be UFA.

He's a placeholder until Guhle is ready to play big minutes. Probably won't resign him next year.

Evander Kane : Two crime reports filed in nightclub incident

Could you hang out with Kane and show him how? -
Scottish voters overwhelmingly backed remaining in the EU, 62% in favor of staying to 38% who want to leave. In the 2014 vote, 55% of Scottish voters cast ballots in favor of remaining in the United Kingdom.

Never a good idea for a candidate to attack voters. Better to target the opposition candidate. Re: Texas, if they left, after a decade the white people there would face the same fate as they did in South Africa, where the non-white majority took control. They'd be knocking on the big, beautiful door in the huge wall crying to come back into the U.S.. And we would say get in line behind all the other immigrants.

Hillary Clinton released the following statement after the people of Great Britain voted to leave the European Union: “We respect the choice the people of the United Kingdom have made. Our first task has to be to make sure that the economic uncertainty created by these events does not hurt working families here in America. We also have to make clear America’s steadfast commitment to the special relationship with Britain and the transatlantic alliance with Europe. This time of uncertainty only underscores the need for calm, steady, experienced leadership in the White House to protect Americans’ pocketbooks and livelihoods, to support our friends and allies, to stand up to our adversaries, and to defend our interests. It also underscores the need for us to pull together to solve our challenges as a country, not tear each other down.”

That would be God helping us.

Unlikely due to the distance from other teams. Florida moved their team from Portland to Springfield, which puts it close to a number of teams. And Montreal plans to move their St. John's team to Laval after next season when an arena is completed. The best Portland could do is join the ECHL like Manchester and Adirondack.
