Well its been an interesting couple of days web wise. The temps are down out here and got a great letter today from the hospital about an upcoming procedure.
As I said the temps and more importantly the humidity is down today and was last night as well.
It felt so nice after weeks of high humidity and temps.
I made a comment the other day on a story about a fourteen year old attacking a police officer and the police officer decking her in return.
Thought it was a one off comment. You know the kind where you say something that isn't really controversial or anything and go on to the next thing.
Well someone decided to be offended. First I don't know whether this is a man or woman. So that is why I am not saying he or she.
But anyway this person decides to make it into a federal case.
This was about one of the excessive force claims from my last post. The case of the violently mentally disturbed kid who slugs the cop twice, once in the face and has her hand around his throat when he punches her.
First the person attacks me for saying what I did and calls it excessive force upon this poor mentally disabled child.
So I do a quick Google search on news and find four different articles in the space of minutes which I post on this site showing none of them using the word "Disabled" All of them do say some form of what I originally saw which is violent, disturbed, etc. and my favorite was the quote by HER defense attorney which said "Deeply disturbed teen"
None of them said anything about being retarded or otherwise anything of that nature. In other words this was a little psycho who took on police.
Well that's fine but this person just couldn't seem to understand that. They went on about it being the same.
Now maybe I'm just not up on the new things and all that the liberal whack jobs come up with but since when does being retarded or having Down Syndrome equate to a violent psycho?
I don't believe they are the same.
But what got me was this person kept going on and on with the "Get away with it" card.
"They are mentally ill so they shouldn't be....pick your ending. In this case it mostly had to do with being hit, being arrested, being taken down etc.
Now I stated several times that mental cases don't get that card to play. If they attack a cop the cop not only has a right to defend himself he's allowed and justified in using necessary force to do so.
Just like if someone came at you and started hitting you, you don't have to sit there and be a friggin punching bag and do nothing. More to the point you don't have to ask if this person attacking you is a nut job before you defend yourself nor are you proscribed from defending yourself if you do have knowledge of the person being crazy.
Neither is a cop. Just because she was a violently mentally disturbed psycho doesn't mean she gets to attack a cop freely without the cop being able to use necessary force to defend himself and effect an arrest.
She also slugged another cop and continued to resist arrest off camera until several officers got there and only after being pepper sprayed was she able to be taken down and cuffed.
As I also pointed out they were well within use of force guidelines to use a Tazer or baton on her at that point, yet they did not. Once again cops trying to use minimal force are getting slammed for doing so.
But anyway over the past couple of days this has been going back and forth and the person's major argument is some liberal whining version of utopia in which nut jobs are allowed to do whatever and get away with anything and no one is allowed to defend themselves against any attack by them, especially cops.
Its been one of those bizarre conversations where you say something simple and the other person can't seem to grasp or fathom simple words and concepts.
At one point I had to ask if this person is even from our country as they stated that a cop is not allowed to hit someone ever. And that's like, so not our country. Matter of fact I don't know any country which forbids cops from using force such as hitting an attacking person if appropriate.
Then I figured out this person isn't living in the real world at all which is where they get this weird world view. They're living in some whining liberal utopia where no consequences exist for actions taken and all these people, psychos, criminals, you name it get away with whatever they want and no one stops them or interferes with them in any way such as police. There is certainly no use of force allowed since the police are the bad guys to most liberals. Hell maybe there are no police in this bizarre utopia the poster has envisioned, I don't know.
So today I get up and guess what? I've got another reply to my last post on that site.
So I go and guess what? Its devolved into name calling which is usually the result of trying to speak to or with liberals. Now I should point out that she called and insinuated things before but I thought it might be a one time thing but today I was shown it wasn't to be.
So I decided to end this as this person doesn't seem to have basic reading comprehension skills to understand a thing I've been saying.
After replying I told the individual that this is it and have a nice life and all so that's over but I have to wonder if they are really that dense and stupid or just skip over parts of posts they don't like and pretend they don't exist?
I occasionally am attacked by right wing nuts too and the same applies to them.
I don't know anymore. Sometimes I wonder why I bother but you see stuff like this and it just gets to you.
I knew and worked with a fair amount of cops in my years in EMS and security and had a good relationship with most of them. I also had training via an academy and I get so sick and tired of these people who attack cops for doing nothing more than their jobs.
This isn't some liberal utopia where everyone gets away with whatever and cops sit back and take being hit or shot at etc.
Lately that seems to be all over the news, nothing but attacks on police for doing nothing more than their job.
I'm not saying there aren't bad cops out there, I'm sure there are. They are human you know but to see the police attacked for doing their jobs and often lose their jobs not because they did anything wrong but because segments of the public are crying and demanding their termination is just plain wrong.
And it needs to stop which means departments bosses need to grow a set and stand by their officers like the boss down in Pembroke Pines did for the officer in the little psycho video.
And on to the most wonderful and looked for procedure to be had in the medical industry.
Because I've crossed that fifty mark the doctor has come to the conclusion I need to have a colonoscopy.
To say I'm excited is an exceedingly overwhelming overstatement as is the above comments.
I got this nice little letter today from the surgical unit at the hospital instructing me to eat clear broth for twenty four hours prior to the visit. To take any medication to which I am prescribed on the day of the surgery yet I have to eat actual food in order to take it which is a no-no according to them.
Oh and to stop taking two of my heart medications for a week prior to it.
I also have to take two laxatives all day and night the day before one of which I have to drink 8oz of every 10 to 20 minutes. Oh joy.
Plus a whole list of other things I can and cannot do.
So lots of joy to look forward to come next month.
As I said real exited.
So that's my day so far.
