The Tea Party News Network? What, no stories from CBN available? As always the comments section provides the deepest insight of rationality. The article itself provides this tidbit: That’s probably good advice for police officers at any time in President Barack Obama’s lawless America. "Obama's lawless America". Wasn't the current unrest initiated by the black community interpreting the police using excessive deadly force against 2 unarmed men? I guess the internet can be used to expand one's knowledge, but in many cases it just allows validation of one's long held prejudice.

I guess the internet can be used to expand one's knowledge, but in many cases it just allows validation of one's long held prejudice. The Internet isn't alone in that. People tend to select as input those data that validate their beliefs, rejecting those that do not. This is called confirmation bias. My problem with the TPNN, like CBN and most other information sources these days, is that they chiefly consist of clickbait. Facebook is particularly bad, I am told. "10 thinks you did not know about the human body" ... "Eight reasons you'll live to 100" ... "Six deadly animals living near you!" and so forth.

Two turtle doves. And a partridge in a pear tree. Sorry.

There is an idea that sucks beyond all belief. Agreed... but I do agree with appropriate protective devices in today's gun nut society... The "gun nuts" are the gang bangers in Liberal bastions killing hundreds every year, like in Chicago. Since Chicago is adamantly opposed to citizens protecting themselves, and won't put cops in the bad neighborhoods, we get to hear about 10 and 11 year olds shot on their porches, or in their bedrooms.

And it's been applauded and egged on by The Puppet and his handmaiden, Holder. It's being used as an excuse for the Feds to simply take over every police dept in the country, on the idea that they are all "racist", and have no idea what their jobs really are, as opposed to Holder, who "knows" his job is to enforce racial equality, even if it means not prosecuting any black criminals.
