That officer should not be on the force. Can him, let him learn how to be human being instead of a dumbass arrogant "Robocop".
That's sickening, how the officer behaved. It's also stupid to have his gun pulled and aimed. The officer is garbage. Throw him out.

What do you recommend? Solitary confinement?

My blood was also boiling when I saw this.Just getting fired is too good for this guy, if there's any kind of criminal negligence that could filed against him I would love to see it. What he did was absolutely incomprehensible.
I hope they tar and feather him for this.
I think permanent demotion to meter-maid would be suitable. With a 15 year freeze on promotions.

Anybody still think Obama's plan for a Civilian Security Force - that will no doubt be littered with these kinds of assholes - is a good idea?
He [Moats] was a standout at Bishop Lynch High School, a private school in Dallas, rushing for more than 2,600 yards and 33 touchdowns as a senior.
And apparently 200-300 of those yards coming at the expense of Officer Powell's complete and utter lack of football instinct & athletic ability.

Leg, he's talking about groups like AmeriCorps, not some armed domestic security force. First responders, people to volunteer with at-risk teens, people to help veterans deal with their issues after returning home - that sort of thing. I only mention this to you because you'll understand you got bad information and adjust, unlike most people in here who are beyond helpless.
No one who looks at the speech he gave about this could come to any other conclusion, or would find this the least bit frightening, unless you find volunteering post-grads frightening. You're just getting this after it's been taken out of context by loons.
It's amazing what is being peddled for truth in here. It's like a mobius loop of unfounded paranoia. You guys need to go outside. Really.
It's going to be okay.
Obama's not seizing the means of production. He's not a socialist. We're having a debate on the appropriate levels of taxation in a democracy, and how best to get out of the most serious economic crisis since the depression. Maybe you'd like to join us.
Or you can watch Glenn Beck warn you about things that nobody is proposing and will never happen, and lose your mind along with him.

Ok, I can buy that. Horribly (hastily?) written speech though.
Anytime I've talked about AmeriCorps, it's been in discussions about other groups like the peace corps, Habitat for humanity, Mission of Mercy... those types - never immediately following a discussion about how the military doesn't have the resources to "achieve national security objectives that we've set." "Achieve" being another poor choice of words.
In a related note, I've just rattled off 3 groups in addition to your 1 that all currently receive federal aid (in the form of tax exemptions), so I'm sure with a quick flick of the google switch I could find 10 more. Why is an additional federally mandated group necessary?
The GDP of the rest of the world cant support another government entity with an equally large invisible budget like our military currently has.

I don't think it was a horribly written speech at all, and it's very clear what he's talking about. It takes a very strained reading of the text to start worrying about the things you're worried about.
These are minor programs with small budgets, not a shadow military.
You can read it for yourself. I'm not trying to wade back into this board. I just thought I'd try to ease your mind, Leg. He's just talking about expanding (mostly) post-graduate service programs.
"Today, AmeriCorps -- our nation's network of local, state, and national service programs -- has 75,000 slots. And I know firsthand the quality of these programs. My wife, Michelle, once left her job at a law firm and at City Hall to be a founding director of an AmeriCorps program in Chicago that trains young people for careers in public service. And these programs invest Americans in their communities and their country. They tap America's greatest resource -- our citizens.
And that's why as president, I will expand AmeriCorps to 250,000 slots and make that increased service a vehicle to meet national goals like providing health care and education, saving our planet and restoring our standing in the world, so that citizens see their efforts connected to a common purpose. People of all ages, stations, and skills will be asked to serve. Because when it comes to the challenges we face, the American people are not the problem -- they are the answer.
So we are going to send -- we're going to send more college graduates to teach and mentor our young people. We'll call on Americans to join an Energy Corps to conduct renewable energy and environmental cleanup projects in their neighborhoods all across the country. We will enlist our veterans to find jobs and support for other vets, to be there for our military families. And we're going to grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered, and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy.
We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.
We need to use technology to connect people to service. We'll expand USA Freedom Corps to create online networks where Americans can browse opportunities to volunteer. You'll be able to search by category, time commitment, and skill sets; you'll be able to rate service opportunities, build service networks, and create your own service pages to track your hours and activities. This will empower more Americans to craft their own service agenda, and make their own change from the bottom up."

I stand corrected. Although, it's easy to see why the loons were able to take it out of context so well/easily. I still don't think it fits with the rest of the speech, but whatever.
As long as these programs aren't mandatory, these are ideas I can get on board with. Mandating this kind of program focuses the effort onto bureaucratic side rather than the purpose side. Checklisting and going through the motions type of thing. As a comparison, people who donate to charity are usually happier when they sign that check as opposed to signing the one on April 15th not to mention the process is often smoother.
I appreciate the heads-up, and it'd be nice to have you back on board. Even if you care not to "wade in" we could stand a "cannon-ball" every once in a while.
