wrote a couple of sarcastic posts that didn't look so clever upon posting.
Think thrice, post once.

I'm not surprised some of our members have responded rather vehemently to your now deleted posting that smacks of jack-booted thuggary.

As I think I've said before, the clowns in uniform who perpetrated the abuse of citizens liberties in NO post Katrina need to be scanning the want ads for another job.
 
She might get money. I hope so. I have very little confidence that any government employee will be held accountable in any meaningful way whatsoever. Maybe if one of the cops has upset a superior in some way then the matter will be used against him. Otherwise, it will be a case of circling the wagons once again.
 
Having read all the posts in this thread and watched the video clip, I'm right on the side of the lady.
I'm down in Australia where the state of New South Wales has just experienced race riots, sparked by the bashing of two Lifesavers (Lifeguards) by allegedly "...men of Middle Eastern appearance".

Perhaps some of you saw the reports on US television?

In one beach-side suburb, Maraobra, over 100 cars were trashed.
Roofs stomped in all glass smashed and residents who ventured out were bashed. One woman was hit across the side/front of her head with a baseball bat.

Self defence in Not a reason to possess a firearm in all Australian states and territories.

must cry for Australia

My home state constitution Section 26:
That the citizens of this state have a right to keep and to
bear arms for their common defense; but the Legislature shall
have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms with a
view to prevent crime.
That text was finalized in 1870.
The state courts and attorney generals have ruled that the constitution
protects individual ownership for self-defense and the state courts have
ruled that this protection extends to possession for other common, lawful
purposes, including hunting and livestock protection. And on the wearing:
we have shall-issue handgun carry permits (open or concealed).

What happened in N.O. La. violated the Louisiana State Constitution as
well, irregardless how people want to read the federal Second Amendment.

Patricia Konie DID NOT treaten the CHiPS with her gun as has been posted.
She told them she had a gun, they asked to see it, she showed it in a
nonthreatening manner and they tackled her. Blue state cops tend to be
trigger happy over citizens with guns, so I guess she's lucky they only
dislocated her shoulder. I have handled firearms in the presence of local
police without them acting threatened, but us red staters are just not as
soo-fist-a-cated as CA, IL, MA, NY--Thank God!!!
 
Why was she taken down (and so hard)???

I'll tell you why: because the cameras were rolling!!

If they knock on a door and tell someone they're under orders to evacuate everyone, do you think they're gonna let some old woman tell them to "go away" and they're just gonna do it?? Hell no!! Can't loose face like that on national television! Who does she think she is telling me "No!"!!

She should've never opened the door; I wouldn't have. Make 'em kick it down. That would look real good on camera.:rolleyes:

Stormtroopers following orders...................

They should've been out looking for the roving gangs of armed criminals.
 
I was just reading a quote from one of the contributing authors to Handguns Magazine in the newest issue in which he says that he and one of his fellow Californian gun writers have a daily discussion on whether or not Cali is even still a part of the United States anymore. The gun grabbing attitude of Cali police and officials is a perfect example of what is wrong with the country right now and I hope to god that the attitude never spreads to TN and other pro gun states cause that would really suck. As I said before we all know why they used the Cali HP officers in this incident don't we?? Their storm trooper/gun grabber tactics were just what the powers who were in charge at the time wanted to disarm the law abiding gun owners of NO.:cuss: Truly sad.
