Some fun feist goin' on at TwinCities.com. Peruse some interesting comments in regards to this article.
Since it is on-topic to a recent post and some comments this morning, let's see what batshit bananas Gravel recently had to say in an interview:

squeee: [[The most serious was in 1990, when Arnold pleaded guilty to pointing his service weapon at a bar patron when he was drunk and off-duty. He also has reprimands in his file for failing to report to court as a witness, failure to complete required training and for causing several "preventable" car accidents.]]Bravo, squeee and 8-bit warrior!
Sure, the defendant doesn't sound like a spring chicken, but can anybody answer me why this swine is still serving as a law enforcement officer? It doesn't sound like she's got a drunk and disorderly assault with a deadly weapon charge in her career.
HannityFan: What is your issue with cops? I guess you think that cops don't do any good. This man will probably be helping to keep you and others safe at the GOP convention when it comes to town. His past is not the issue here, the issue is this nutjob that threatened his son. You have been watchng too much of the Clinton News Network.
squeee: Keep me safe from what? A couple hippie protesters and carousing Republican delegates? I'd rather have someone keep me safe from drunken, gun-wielding, power-hungry trigger-happy cops.
My personal defense is my own responsibility, thank you.
HannityFan: Squee, it isn't right to assume that one bad apple cop makes all of them bad. This is one of the most dangerous, most noble professions out there. You must be to dim to see that. You are probably think Alan Colmes is the voice of reason in this country. If we could just get back to God and family we would have a chance.
squeee: Hogwash.

Law enforcement doesn't even rank in in top 10--well under fishermen, trash collectors, and even food delivery drivers.
But hey--I'd gamble they take more lives than any other occupation does (other than the military). And rarely with accountability.
Thanks for the cliche, anyways. If it is any consolation, Colmes is as much of a sleazebag as Hannity is.
I think the "bad apple" cop is the rule, not the exception. Maybe I'll consider changing my mind when the bad cops fear the good ones instead of vis a vis.
8-bit warrior: A citizen protecting his and his families lives and property with his own weapon is far more noble, than a government paid thug that doesn't understand or comprehend the US Constitution. It's people like HannityFan that justify big government encroachment on MY rights.
Kojack: What's the matter Squeee, getting a few too many Parking Tickets? Sounds like you've got a pretty big axe to grind with the Cops. And just who would you call if you house was broken into, or your car was stolen? Not one of those "drunken, gun-wielding, power-hungry trigger-happy cops." now would you?
squeee: I've got the means to defend myself if needed. Only I can be responsible for my own property, and my insurance provider second. The government certainly does a bang-up job at protecting it, don't they? What good are the cops going to do? Show up and take notes afterwards?
Since it is on-topic to a recent post and some comments this morning, let's see what batshit bananas Gravel recently had to say in an interview:
GRAVEL: Who would I be a good vice presidential pick for? I don't know if the Libertarian Party has had, since its foundation—and I say this most modestly—a bigger fish. They'd had Ron Paul and Bob Barr: Two congressmen. Two congressmen do not make a senator. Four congressman, maybe, make a senator, but not two congressmen.Four Congressman in a Senator--remember that next time you're baking some Legislative pie. What a fantastic week.
