CA police chief: guns "intimidate & show power"

[philip964]

I saw a movie once where only the police and military had guns...
Good movie too





It was called Schindlers List.

Admittedly that chief of police is a clown.

Why is it that the most liberal of cities police chiefs uniforms look like a banana republic petty dictator's uniform? He's got more stars than a Christmas tree.

[Abraham]

He's not merely a police chief - he's a potentate too.

Unfortunately those are the clowns getting the publicity. Did he not think before he spoke or is he just that stupid?

[The Annoyed Man]

Face palms please, and I mean all of them.

That should about cover it for now. I can get more if that's not enough.

[4copas]

That works for me. Well done Sir.

With two shootings by police at suspicious vehicles presumed to be Dorner, at least they practice what they preach. After shooting a woman and her daughter's truck as they worked the early morning paper route, LA Police Chief Charlie Beck called it a simple matter of, "Mistaken Identity."

This has caused people to wear t-shirts and put signs on their car that say, "Don't Shoot! I am not Chris Dorner!" Seriously!

This chief's statement takes the usual "anti" stand that all guns are bad and can only be used for crime.
He has conflated the good citizen's need to carry a gun with the criminal's need to carry a gun.

Good citizens carry a gun to defend themselves and others.

Criminals are the ones who carry guns to intimidate and show power.
