POPSMom Tasered in front of kids ‘posed no threat You have to read the article (clipped from) to believe this. I myself have emailed sheriff dept expressing outrage over it. I hope she sue's for a few million to get message across that wearing a badge don't make you god. I am proud of the majority of law enforcement and realize their job isn't easy. And yeah their are time when force is needed. Many though now actually look forward now though too any confrontation so they can get to use tazer. It's like a power trip to them. Probably kick dogs to when nobody looking. Need harder testing and philological testing before slap a badge on some of these dipwads. More then likely were bullied in high school and college so now feel they have the power. If as outraged as me thiis is the contact form to leave your statement. http://www.ongov.net/Contact/email/ have to go through county site because sheriff's page conveniently has no email contact pages....

POPSSenate Champion for Healthcare & Harvard Greek Intramurals in '53
As the Conscience of the Senate, I have led the fight to win comprehensive national medical benefits for you and other vulnerable Boiler Room Girls who have been denied coverage by their heartless employers. I fervently believe we're all on this boat together. Okay, Oldsmobile. Now, if you'll just let go of my arm, I'll make a break for it and continue the fight for your health care rights back at my lawyer's office. Ow! Jesus! That fucking hurt! Come on now, Baby. Let's all just calm down, take a shallow breath, and look at our heath care predicament rationally. We obviously can't both stay here in our current plan, and if we both opt out of our windows at the same time it will sink the entire system. Even if we both made it out, there will be difficult questions and bureaucratic forms and red tape. Like I also told you back at the party, my wife doesn't understand me. And she sure as hell won't understand this. Obviously the answer is some sort of window rationing system where

POPSTexas cop uses Taser on 72-year-old great grandmother
Ooh, her use of profanity made him fear for his safety. What is this guy a freaking nancy-boy? I’ll bet he let a lot of drivers go by and chose her because she looked ‘safe’. Part of the responsibility for so many people basically blatantly ignoring speed limit signs falls on the cops themselves. They randomly enforce speed limits. I have witnessed speeders driving past police officers who do nothing. I have witnessed police officers driving over the speed limit and I can truthfully say there was no apparent reason for them to do so, because further down the road I would again see them driving along with the crowd. The lackadaisical enforcement gives drivers a false sense that they will not be ticketed and then along comes an officer who may have been bored or pushed by his municipality to raise money. They need to be serious about enforcement or continue to allow drivers to do whatever they please, just as they have for quite some time now.

POPSOklahoma cop pulls ambulance over; puts EMT in chokehold while patient lingers The trooper wanted to cite the driver of the ambulance but the other paramedic insisted on driving the patient to the hospital first, then allowing the driver to be cited. The trooper then told the second paramedic that he was under arrest for obstruction and attempted to grab the paramedic’s arm. But the paramedic reminded him that it was a felony to assault a paramedic in the line of duty, especially when he needs to transport a patient to the hospital. They struggled briefly before the paramedic was able to hop in the back of the ambulance to tend to the patient. The officers finally allowed the paramedics to transport the patient to the hospital where they planned to arrest the paramedic. Police say they have their own version of the truth that was recorded by their dashboard cam. Of course they are refusing to release it.

POPSThe World's Oldest Land Rover Rides Again
Now owned by Tata, Land Rover celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. After WWII, steel was in short supply and Rover needed it to build cars, but the UK government demanded guarantees of good overseas sales before supplies would be forthcoming. Wilks envisiged a "stopgap model", one that appealed to foreign markets. He and his brother Spencer (Rover's MD) owned a farm on Anglesey where their families holidayed. They used a war-surplus Willys Jeep as a template but found weaknesses in its design and Maurice reasoned they could do better. The brothers walked along the vast sands of Red Wharf Bay on Anglesey, talking about their idea and sketched a basic design for the vehicle in the damp sand. It would offer the benefits of a tractor with on-road usability. The Land Rover was born. The marque is recognised across the globe and the original has proved to be the most versatile of all vehicles, but an Anglesey beach is where it all began, with a drawing in the sand 61 years ago.

POPS56MPG Toyota iQ May Come To US As A Scion But of course, we'll sacrifice fuel mileage for a bigger engine here, which always seems to be the case when they bring cars here. Americans are just too caught up with power to do otherwise.
