In every segment of society there are those who are have mental problems or perhaps are emotionally on the edge and perhaps a breath away from snapping.
Oddly enough I saw several posts that did more than appear to slam the police in general when this disturbed person, who happened to be an officer, snapped.
Ultimately it was the police that had to "take out" this maniac. How do you think they will sleep tonight, or perhaps for years to come.
When was the last time you were in that same position?

while i agree with the poor taste to the max, i would never vote a thread removed because it is in bad taste.   Much better off to leave it run and let posting justice take its course.

Whats the differrence between a holocoust denier or the denial of any other tragic criminal act such as treasonous presidents who get our kids killed as an example?

uhh, why should they not remove a link that is so distasteful that it is wreckless to even have it noteworthy for a second round from the origional thread whereforth the nastiness came from.

If you read the TOS, any claim of current (not past) *ie: saying 'I smoked some pot in 1979 vs, I am smoking up right now' illegal activity (drugs would be included in that subject) would be a violation.  Someone must have mentioned they are currently doing drugs in order for that thread to be pulled and removed.

Cops have been a significant part of the suicide epidemic for a long time... this particular one apparently chose 'suicide by other cop'.

I understand your position in thinking some might react to a situation like this in behaving in a "Ah Ha!' rationality as if they want to justify a dislike for authority figures (perhaps of any kind??).

Yet, given that as citizens we are expected to be dutiful in exchanging our goods, services and respect through our assorted occupations. Those that choose and are chosen to occupy such authority-based positions are expected to be lead and to follow a stricter sense of morality and a stronger sense of judgements by their peers and associates.

When one teacher is a 'mr/misses bad-toucher' we must also question the entire school board, the entire system's foundation in handling hiring and policy. The questions include: Hiring processes, skills, previous board reviews (state to state, nationwide), complaints, current and past mental status/stresses that may or may not be cause of a future episode of distress to the very persons (youth or adult) that such person is and has access to dominate or guide.

These persons take an oath (police, doctors, lawyers, teachers etc.) to abide by guidelines of higher moral-code. I expect the people in these occupations to be 'more upstanding of an idividual' than others. When the few fail to do that, our shock turns to blame. Firstly on the actual right-abuser then to the immediate officials who hire then to higher governement sources. ORIGINAL: came4U
