you write: In this particular incident, once identification was produced, the cop should have apologized and left, period.
He should have apoligized for what?? He was there responding to a call of a break in progress...now it's the cop's job to apologize for doing his job?
You also say: Why don't the apologists for Crowley go whine to one of the grunts in Afghanistan? Wait, those are warriors who "want to be there" (Rush Limbaugh). Not to mention, the police are massively over compensated when compared to a grunt.
Hey dolt... alot of us are veterans who fought in war. Have you? Have you ever responded to a break in progress call? into a dark building not knowing what was waiting inside? Think you would have the balls to check...

I think the tide on this hoax is changing...it's definately not rising

The Reps ran the most "Moderate" Republican in the last election and he got creamed. Those like Lyndsey Grahmnesty and John McLame will never get the support of conservatives, even those that say "He'd be better than the other guy" and claim that they had to hold their nose to cast their vote. Those that support amnesty, open boarders, cap and trade, Obamacare, etc. will never win. When the Republicans ever get back to their conservative roots and run "real" conservatives then they will win again.America is a center right nation...RINO's are not welcome!

you write: Technology that enables us to prolong life far beyond what is natural or desirable also threatens to cripple us financially.
So now you are deciding what is natural?? or better yet desirable??? and you claim Sarah Palin is wrong??? Who the F*** do you think you are? You pompous A Hole!
