I agree with Tommy and Ray - anything said in chat should be a part of this board. And I believe if someone is an asshat on another board and one of us knows about it, it should be shared here. If someone thinks they're coming on this board to escape their past transgressions, they should go to a place that tolerates it - like StogieChat - not here...

You either take the beating you got coming for shooting your mouth off, or pack your bags and leave. If you don't want anyone to post items from chat, PM's, other boards, etc. don't say them. Think before you type.

SC - I don't know what the circumstances of your friends death was. That seems very odd, based upon my 25 years of LEO experience, that an officer would walk into a convenience store and shoot someone because they picked up their cell phone. That's not to say that something freakish didn't happen. But I gotta say - in this current climate - there is little tolerance for any LEO that steps over the line like that. They may have not criminally charged the officer because of the circumstances, but I know for a fact - in ANY jurisdiction - an officer involved shooting is more scrutinized than any other shooting I know of - death or not.

Blaming all LEO's for your friends death is like blaming every car manufacturer because you got a lemon car. Doesn't make sense, does it? Your being angry with all officers doesn't do a damn bit of good to honor your friends memory. As a matter of fact, you may have noticed (or maybe not, but it's true) - your statements made you look like a total ass. That kind of caustic attitude is going to end up buying you a lifetime full of grief and aggravation.

TSC - there may be other boards out there that will welcome you in and appreciate your attitudes. This one won't, as you can plainly see. Your discrepect for Tommy is felt by all of the other members of this board who consider each other brothers.

You need to take a walk...
