Talullahhound, probably your best "post" out of many. The "media" does nothing but exacerbate situations such as those in El Paso and Dayton. They are a cruel bunch doing nothing but adding to the "hate" that is arising from the many tragedies we are witnessing across our country today. They never give any praise to the many law enforcement personnel that "risk" their lives on a daily basis. It seems that about the only time these "warriors" receive any credit for the services they provide our communities occurs at the local level in the area where I live. I have seen many occasions where the local police have stepped in to turn a young persons "birthday" into a happy event or provide many other "positive inputs" that otherwise would have resulted in an unhappy ending.
