  anyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.

  bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.

  i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.

  i went to the restaraunt in a small town where i work and sometimes live and there were some jws there for lunch break out in service.

  it is amazing to watch the locals sit as far away as they can from the table of jws.

  some actually sat at a near table then loved tables when they realized jws were sitting near them.

  last night and elder gave the bible highlights at the congregation.

  he talked about apostasy.

  and among other things he said: "report to the elders if you hear anyone in the congregation talking bad about the governing body".

  I blasted the GB for in essence pimping out JW women only to brothers with privileges in the congregation while with my wife at a local regional convention last week.

  Apparently, I was getting animated so much so that she was "moved" to calm me down an deescalate my tone.

  I guess I was beginning to embarrass her.

  She has decided to conclude her attendance at another regional this week.

  I'm not at all concerned if she decides to report me to the elders in the congregation. I wouldn't have a problem with finding the time to wash away the skid marks from kicking all their asses to the curb if they even think they can exercise any authority over me.

  Grandchildren pay for the sins of their parents.

  my wife's mother just related to us an interview she heard during the recent three day convention that she just had to share with us.

  a brother and his wife have, for over 20 years, shunned their daughter because she ran off and eloped with a worldly guy.

  while openly sobbing, he related how difficult it has been to shun his daughter and avoid unnecessary contact with her and her family.

  Yeah....there was an similar experience relayed at the Saturday meeting I went to with the wife. In that case, a pioneer daughter of three siblings was disfellowshipped a year after her mother died. The elderly father, a MS, told of how he and his remaining children prayed to jehovah for the strength to avoid all but the most necessary contact with his disfellowshipped daughter and how she eventually "came to her senses" and returned to jehovah.

  Bunch of sick bastards.....

  It's a shame that people have to feel that they have to self deprecate to refrain from doing what is supposed to be volunteer work for an organization they no longer want to be a part of.

  McKinney Texas pool party?

  so today i was asked my thoughts on the pool party incident in mcminney, texas.

  my response: it shows a clash of expectations.

  i saw police officers who expected citizens to listen to and follow instructions.

  The officer said he over-reacted. The officers lawyer said the officer let his emotions get the best of him. His boss said his actions were indefensible. The teenager who filmed the event who was white said he over-reacted and that he targeted the black kids.

  ...and yet, all of these armchair law enforcement para-professionals who've never been at the business end of a police officer with a bad attitude and would rather pretend that such an officer don't exist, want to give him Presidential Medal of Honor and the Nobel Peace Prize for extraordinary police work.

  This might be funny if it wasn't so silly to watch.

  he was over-emotional after a traumatic day.

  Great "Monday morning excuse". Perhaps he should've recognized that fact and taken the rest of the day off.

  They obviously don't get to go home and get counselling after attending a serious incident. No, they are sent right out to the next one .... and the next one ... and the next one ...

  No....that is not obvious. That is just a supposition you're using to support your position. Ten years on the force...I'm confident that he had plenty of sick time and vacation stashed away that could've been used to get himself together. A police union rep would've helped him out on this.

  Police departments are choc full of counselors for policeman dealing with stressful situations. Based upon his actions that day, his character is that of one who'd probably think he was showing weakness by availing himself of those services.

  Wow. I guess the little bitch think's she deserves a pay-day for her behavior.

  "Little Bitch"? Wow..... And why not? There sure is no shortage of people here trying to pin a badge of honor no caseDolts behavior even though his own superior have determined that he was out of line.

  You guys are terminally intent on bolstering your positions by arguing false equivalencies.

  No one here, I don't think, is denying that the police have a tough and often thankless job. No one here thinks they are superhuman and incapable of making mistakes. And I am sure that everyone here and in the community of McKinney appreciate the jobs the bulk the police do. 11 of the police called out to the community did their jobs professionally and I suspect, that those are the ones the community is appreciative of. Despite your protestations to the contrary and contrary to the judgement of the leadership of department from which he was employed, one didn't, and now he must pay the price for errors in judgement to grevious to ignore. All of this speculation that caseDolt was thrown under the bus and that the whole community supports his actions is just that, and not an indisputable fact save to those who want to proclaim his heavy handedness a heroic virtue. HE RESIGNED without a shot fired to keep his job!!!! He wasn't fired.......yet.

  caseDolt, based upon the judgement of his own brethren, his actions measured against the training and professional standards of the department did not act within the conduct required of the police department that day. And he was called to the carpet for it. I highly doubt that he and police officers making the same collosoll lapses in judgement will be the standard by which the more professional, intelligent, and disciplined officers base their decisions on to be in law enforcement despite your slippery slope assertion.

  On occasion I've watched a television reality show titled Cops. To me this is one of true reality shows.
  Here's what I saw repeatedly:
  People of every race and gender who acted badly met stiff confrontation from responding law enforcement personnel. I've seen it happen to white and black "Becky Sues".

  Indeed

  What you didn't see were a cop running around completely out of control screaming expletives at people, doing barrel rolls, and using heavy handed tactics on half-naked, unarmed, female minor civilians without clearly sufficient cause. What you also didn't see were prior related bad incidents used as justification for their own unprofessional and near criminal behavior.

  What you did see were cops, either alone or in a team effort exhausting every effort to resolving issues peacefully and without escalation and incident and not running around like a bull in a china shop.
