minimay my dad always said to be careful because dynamite comes in small packages,I personally believe every woman who can legally own a handgun should take a gun safety training course and be a pistol packing mama.I am a six ft tall 300 lbs man and I carry mine everywhere,like American Express [don’t leave home without it ].the police should not charge these merchants for their service,it should be free.outlaw is right,most of these crooks don’t care if there are cameras because they are messed up on drugs so bad they don’t think.

At this time criminals are emboldem by what they see around them .they don’t shy from the view of cameras .They don’t fear being seen ,they pick a spot stake it out and wait just as a predator.Even if they are caught they penalty is not enough to make them stop. There is no reason that a girl/lady should not carry some form of lethal protection whatever they choose to use should be at their discrection.I am a full grown old man but I fear these thugs who rape and rob at their own will I do not go without self protection It’s a Part of a way of life,But there are so many out there after our guns and knives that i fear they will not stop until they get them

I agree. If I do have to go out by myself of just me and my daughter I makes sure that I am as safe as possible. However, it is just known that if a guy or female sees a 5,1 petite female and a 5’5 built female they are more likely to go for what “looks” easier. Not saying that it will be but that is just how it is looked at. If someone came up to trying to cause harm to me or my daughter you better believe I am not going down without a fight. That is why I had such an issue with some of the politics wanting to take away the right to bear arms. There are only so many self-defense classes that one can take. If the criminal has a weapon, even if they are illegal, because you know that will not stop them, and they take away my right to bear arms and defend myself, well lets just say my chances of actually winning the fight gets cut down to almost impossible.

Minimay, if you think you are an ez target you should watch a few cartoons. You ever watch the old ones. Speedy Gonzales and Sylvester the cat. He never could catch speedy “the fastest mouse in all Mexico” so he decided to go after his cousin Pedro the slowest mouse in all of Mexico.  Sylvester caught him the first time and said, “I can’t believe I didn’t think of this before” then Pedro pulled out his gun and blasted him. Then you hear Speedy Gonzales say, “did I forget to tell you, my cousin Pedro, he pack a guhhn.”  If you believe you are an ez target be ready. Take some Kung Fu and or Pack a guhhn.

I am glad that they are trying to make certain areas safer to be in, but I am still not comfortable with going out by myself at night to a store or anything like that. I have always considered myself a prime target because of my size. Even though I am 22 I look about 16 or 17. Usually these criminals look for someone that is of no threat to them or an easy target. One night when my mom went to the store she got mugged and carjacked. Ever since then my mom has been very persistent about me being much safer so the same does not happen to me.

Call it bashing or criticing everyone has to answer to someone,be it sewer worker or a microbiologist studying the swine flu.I have always heard if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen is it hot in here?When i can get up in the morning and there is nothing to report in the crime log send me a comment until then get of the soap box

Well I tell you, I don’t know what I am tired of most. The repeatedly demonize and crucify LE or the band standing 911 first responders. Your just people, good and bad. If you first responders think your doing something the average Jo would not do if he had to your wrong. The ones that try and run you in the ground for being LEO are just nut jobs that think the “Man” is out to get them and should know better in the first place.  Like I said get over yourself and get over the nut jobs out there. Waa waaaa

Well said Rmseek!!!!  Well said!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to ALL the LEO for doing such an outstanding job!!

I would be the first to say that no one is a god, other than God himself-I think you know that ick. But, to watch others repeatedly demonize and crucify LE,when they see only one side of the story,the side the media “chooses” to report is appalling. In essence,some of these folks are glorifying the criminals and essentially saying that officer’s don’t have the same rights as everyone else-to be given a fair trial if they ARE “accused” of something. You’ve seen it, you know exactly what I am talking about. The troll patrol.

Anyway,back on topic-Keep up the excellent work that you do LE!

LOL First of all I didn’t see his hand around the neck, maybe he grabbed the guys collar..but couldn’t tell.  I know that Officer, and let me tell you old Paw Paw is NOT going to jump out of his car unless it’s for good reason.  No, I am NOT taking up for him. Quite frankly, I’m not even fond of the man.  I just know that he is NOT jumping out of a car without good reason. See, you say you know for a fact that the guy didn’t do anything.  How do you know?  The LT could have received a call on his radio about a man fitting that description.  I could tell from the photo, it was Mardi Gras & we all know how crazy it gets during that time.
