ARE COPS THE BAD GUYS?



There has been a lot written and graphically shown about bad cops in the United States; this led, inevitably, to the Black Lives Matter movement. 

COMMENTS:
When you examine the facts, things change.  There are nearly 950,000 cops in the U.S., not to mention fish and game wardens, border patrol agents and ICE officers, FBI agents…. Yet, less than 1,000 people were fatally shot by police in 2105.  That’s about .1% of cops, (the guys who are most likely to respond to violent situations), being involved in such shootings.  But, there was a huge public outcry against cops, the end result being that cops are now afraid to get anywhere near a potential shooting scenario… particularly in Black neighborhoods.  And so it is that many of the same people who were screaming that cops were the bad guys are now asking why no cops patrol their neighborhoods. 
 
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Any opinion on the Senate’s version of the new Health Care Bill? (Trudy ~ Willard, UT)
A. Haven’t read it or much about it.  I do understand it is simply a glorified version of the House Bill and further evidence that the GOP’s just can’t succeed no matter how little they try!  At this point, I’d just as soon they put it on the back burner and let ObamaCare and its abject failures eat the Democrats alive, because they deserve it. 

Q. Do you think Trump is finally coming to grips with the fact that Obama and his henchmen screwed America and consistently violated the law?  (Grinnell ~ San Pablo, CA)
A. I think he knew it a very long time ago and, being the gentleman that he is, expected they would be smart and let him get on with his Presidency.  He’s given them every chance and now understands they are all so delusional and in so much denial that there’s no redeemable hope for them.  I think they're in for a big surprise.  

Q. Guess who’s wearing Jacqueline Kennedy’s Cartier wristwatch?  (Benita ~ Las Vegas, NM)
A. Kim Kardashian.
