What I like is the pronouncement of “Pretty much all those kids and young men just need to be is educated [the ones involved in violent acts]. Ummm, I know it's hard to get an education at a public school, but it can be done - but the student has to be involved somewhere in the process.
thus, young men = thugs

>[Jacobs] said that there’s also a chance they’ll find guns linked to crimes... “That's really what we're looking for,” he said. “Maybe we'll find a toy gun that's been altered by a youngster in the house — and we know the tragedies that can occur there on occasion.”

I'll bet he and the entire police department are just salivating over the prospect of finding a gun linked to a crime in someone's house. Asset Forfeiture! Woot! Come on baby, Beloit PD needs a new margarita machine...

Statistically swimming pools are responsible for 52 times as many accidental deaths to children than guns... Maybe this police chief is sharp enough to find the swimming pools... but I doubt it.

Yes we are witnessing the end of the Age of Reason. It didn't die of old age, it was murdered. Crushed to death by a tsunami of humans deliberately taught not to think. Sic transit gloria Aristotle.

just watch -- if an *illegal* weapon were found,
that would not be the end of the force-backed action. -- j

this is like volunteering to have a body cavity search
for drugs, just for fun. . what kind of perversion can
come up with stuff like this??? -- j

Tamir Rice, the 12 year-old black boy killed recently by a policeman for wielding a toy gun that had been stripped of it’s markers identifying it as a toy. We changed the laws some twenty years ago to make toy manufacturers identify with markings ( bright stickers and such) their realistic play-weapons, but this toy was altered to look real. Tamir Rice is a one reason some people are protesting about the police. The cop was barely out of his car when he shot this boy.
I get where CG is coming from. Fire departments often go into people's homes to look at fireplaces and electrical outlets as a public service. This is just a spin on that idea. The article mentioned several incidents of kids having guns without their parent's knowledge. Not every parent is exercising their 2nd amendment right and may feel more comfortable about asking a policeman to look for the guns their kids might be hiding or maybe looking at the kid’s toy guns. It’s still a very big mistake to cooperate with a program like this because it does require people to waive their fourth amendment rights frivolously.
At least, I think that’s what CG meant.

Oh christ...do I need to make you a grid? Each letter uses the next 15 consecutive numbers. B 1-15, I 16-30 etc (why did I just admit that I know this?) Anyway...there is no B 52. That would be G. (and what did you think was 96? lol)

we're talking bingo? ....B52

what kind of bingo do you play?

I thought it was 96

Yeah...it would make more sense if they asked for people to voluntarily have their houses searched for the lack of ability to think for oneself, moral contradictions, A not equaling A, having your cake and eating it too, blank out...and willful ignorance.

Bingo! You just nailed it. O-69.

Thanks...Barry White.

LOLOL stop!...I can't breathe.

snort...

LOL... this post has gone comedic. omg.

LOL I'd sign it. The 2014 de-Nazification Act of the Beloit Police Department.

Please do!

What the hell are you talking about?

lol

I won't (Your choice here). You can trust me, Baby. (Said with deep sincerity in a baritone voice)

"You're like the king of excuse making"
Nothing excuses this crap.

Don't perpetuate the notion that Ayn Rand is about retired gov't workers putting others down to make themselves feel better. She's about exactly the opposite.
