Tuesday Tapp, Rack, and Bang

 Just a thought to law enforcement officials, do you know who would be a good set of people to not have on the sidelines right now? All those constitutionalists tea-partiers that you've been bad mouthing as a threat. As it turns out actual threats to civil society have come from far more traditional sources. More not safe for mob justice below the break.

Stereotypes

What a horrible, horrible, horribly true stereotype.

Signs that You Might Be in the Wrong Neigborhood.

Troubling

This is gonna ratchet up the paranoia of police officers, take appropriate care:

Off-Duty Police Officer Shot Multiple Times in North St. Louis

I wish I knew a good answer to the growing us vs. them attitude in what should be citizens on patrol, but it doesn't bode good things. With everyone in such a rush to share every facet of their lives there is less privacy about who does what for a living anymore. One comment by someone about "my friend's dad is a cop and should arrest that creep" and someone with even mild motivation can backtrack to a home address, family description, or a picture of the new car you're so proud of.

This is would only be worse if it involved a less mercurial type of criminal, one who was willing to embrace the whole plata y pluma shakedown could have an entire municipality in his pocket  and the citizens left to fend for themselves.

Tuesday: Tapp, Rack, and Bang

Blue Falcon Racoon Strikes Again.

Now We Know

So the police/national guard first stand back holding the looter's coats, then they demand that volunteers abandon the most effective and safe places to protect a business because it upsets the "protestors".

So now we know who's side they come down on. I'm sure Clayton didn't have a single police rifleman doing something as offensive as being on a rooftop.

So how is something necessary for officer safety but completely unacceptable for civilian safety?
