Oh wait, one reason for low salaries couldn't be foreign tourists being kept away from Tibet? Sure, if you compare industrial wages of 1943 Poland (or mid-century Siberia) to today's, "labor training" camps definitely look convincing. -- "Which government would dare to touch political liberties if every citizen had a shotgun and fifty bullets at home?"

IOW, the implausible connection to gun control was not mine. You mistake my position. The Second was clearly and tersely written with a definitive and final period after 'shall not be infringed' by men whose memory of Lexington was fresh. Automatic weapons have been severely restricted since 1934. One might argue that the National Firearms Act is an unconstitutional abridgement but the courts are not interested in that argument. So here we are, some 80+ years later in a nation where firearm ownership is widespread, voluminous and growing. Yesterday, virtually all of them passed another day nicely oiled and cased without incident. https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/gun...s-by-state/13/ which comes to just under 5 million firearms in Ohio. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

I can see good reasons police are allowed to exceed the speed limit in a pursuit situation. That doesn't justify cops violating any law they like any time they like. I've witnessed cops in patrol cars violating red lights apparently at will - no speeding involved, no warning lights, no indication it was any official business. I'm pretty sympathetic to cops, but they shouldn't be using their position to break the law for their own convenience. This is why when you were young enough not to have bones broken someone should have slapped the holy **** out of you. Exactly how did you know that a cop wasn't responding to something? The pure unadulterated mental problems you have are open for public viewing every time you post. Cops not being subject to traffic laws is NOT cops doing anything they like without rules. |

Technically they can run stop signs/stop lights and blow speed limits, go wrong-way and so on only when the red lights are rolling. (or blue lights or whatever in your area) Maybe in your state Andrew but not in most. It is pretty difficult to sneak up on criminals when your lights and siren are on. |
