“Why did you shoot me? I was reading a book”
This went through Twitter today:

http://www.salon.com/2013/07/07/“why_did...f_control/

What the hell...

Edit: Link is a bit weird and breaks on my browser, alternative link: http://goo.gl/bYtNZ

Excerpt:

After overhearing the men wagering, Baucum befriended Culosi as a cover to begin investigating him. During the next several months, he talked Culosi into raising the stakes of what Culosi thought were just more fun wagers between friends to make watching sports more interesting. Eventually Culosi and Baucum bet more than $2,000 in a single day. Under Virginia law, that was enough for police to charge Culosi with running a gambling operation. And that’s when they brought in the SWAT team.

On the night of January 24, 2006, Baucum called Culosi and arranged a time to drop by to collect his winnings. When Culosi, barefoot and clad in a T-shirt and jeans, stepped out of his house to meet the man he thought was a friend, the SWAT team began to move in. Seconds later, Det. Deval Bullock, who had been on duty since 4:00 AM and hadn’t slept in seventeen hours, fired a bullet that pierced Culosi’s heart.

Sal Culosi’s last words were to Baucum, the cop he thought was a friend: “Dude, what are you doing?”

That entire article pissed me off. Land of the free...

Beyond All Seas

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling

Isn't that entrapment?

I can't have sex with your personality, and I can't put my penis in your college degree, and I can't shove my fist in your childhood dreams, so why are you sharing all this information with me?

That article is an absolute must read. Ordering the book. Might even order 20 copies to cover birthday's for the next year.

Average American would take the law enforcment's side without a second thought. "You did something illegal so you're a bad person!"

on a raid after 17 hours on duty? sound like management's at fault too. if the dead dude didn't go for a gun.

I read the article. Scary, gun nut cops with too much equipment eager to use it. I wonder how many are on steroids?

I just viewed it at:

That police department paid out 2 mill to the family. That particular case was not swept under the rug.

Ah Sorry. Yes, I mixed up the names. I thought it was referring to the author.
