Mirror, mirror, on the wall.

I am I supposed to be an expert in decrypting cryptic responses?

On both sides? And does that apply when dogs are shot too, or just when old guys are shot?

Bottom line is that neither you nor anyone but God and the physical witnesses know what really happened. I'm seeing much more automatic indictment of the officer than I am of the behavior of Mr. Schaefer. Frankly, I wish both camps would pipe down until we get a believable account.

Austin is brutal regarding perception of the police. In the Nathaniel Sanders case, Officer Quintana made a legitimate shoot, yet the race pimps, er, "civil rights" activists used his history with personal domestic calls and DUI to invalidate any justification of the shooting which led the Austin City Council to cave into a civil demand of $750,000 to the Sanders family as a settlement for the shooting.

Here's a pretty good page with factoids around the Nathaniel Sanders shooting. Quintana is no doubt a major screw up, but that fact needs to be compartmentalized from the facts of the shoot.

There have always been corrupt and burned out police, but it was the smallest minority of them. Now, they seem to act like an occupying army, and all dress in tactical uniforms, these days. What has changed? It may just be how rotten people in general have gotten, that also now reflects in the new breed of police.

Antonio Buehler did 3 tours in Iraq, and is a West Point graduate, he really beleives Austin PD are corrupt, and incompetent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Buehler" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Buehler has used up his capital with me. Seems like he's devolved into a knee-jerk cop hater and lacks discernment in the area of police interaction. He needs to slow his roll.
