This guy is screened and permitted to carry a gun. And roams Cleveland neighborhoods. Feel safer?

“He allegedly knocked on the doors of several homes in Bay Village, Ohio, before his arrest, according to the arrest report.”

If he were black and had done this, he would have been shot dead by one of the homeowners . . .

You really can’t fault a homeowner for acting in accordance with the Founding Fathers original intent.

Of course, back then they only needed 3/5 bullets.

The Cleveland police officer acquitted in the shooting deaths of two unarmed suspects last month was charged with assault following an incident with his brother, according to Cleveland.com.

No, Brelo was acquitted last month in the 2012 shooting deaths of two unarmed suspects.

This is basic journalism, TPM.

Two Democratic senators introduced a bill this week aimed at changing what former Attorney General Eric Holder once called the “unacceptable” lack of data on the subject of police shootings.

Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) on Tuesday introduced the Police Reporting of Information, Data and Evidence Act (PRIDE), which would require states to report to the Justice Department any time a law enforcement officer is involved in a shooting and any instance where an officer or a civilian is seriously hurt or killed as a result of the use of force. States would also have to report details like the age, race and location of any victims; whether or not the civilians present were armed; and how many civilians and officers were involved.


The NRA will see to it this dies in committee.

It so often happens that once someone literally gets away with murder they seem compelled to create another situation for themselves in which they might be punished.

Seems to be the weird psychology of O J Simpson, jailed for life, I think, for the armed robbery in Las Vegas after being acquitted of double murder. Not to mention how close George Zimmerman keeps getting to the line.

Once a violent bully, always a violent bully. I call this the Zimmerman effect.

PTSD.

I don’t know if this is part of the basket of symptoms, but it sure could be. People who know they did wrong and got away with it, especially when the victims were innocent, can’t live with themselves.

'course I was raised Catholic and that kind of guilt is part of my DNA.
