sure was a lot of them shot, kip.

A cold blooded lot if there ever was one. If you ever travel to the RUB countries you will see a lot of those people with what I call "dead eye look". It's like a dead look in their eyes (my wife says it's just a Slavic gene/trait), but it can make the hair on the back of your head stand up. That and they don't have the same outlook on life and death as we have. To them life doesn't mean as much as it does to us. Survival maybe, but other than that...

Between them and the Germans it was a toss up on who could kill the most. Europeans helped write the book on cold blooded killing in regards to genocide. It's like their in a race to wipe each other out.

Just a little perspective, The Occupy crowd is like 4000 strong, the Boy Scout Jamboree had 40,000.

So you are saying that 1/2 of the OWS crowd has been arrested?

462 locations and only 4000 strong....So less than 9 people per location?

We are behind our quota here in Charlotte at just 8.

If this is right then they just dropped down to 3.8 people per location

Come on LI, just apply Glenn Beck/Fox News math here; Count the actual crowd, then add three more zeroes to the end.

I believe multiculturalism is flawed and failed concept, just have a look at UK, Canada is down that path too. My beloved America is full of freeloaders and people with dangerous ideas.

What country did you import your wife from?

You mean from what country my wife imported me?

What is shocking about it?

They are trained, they graduate from the same academies as their non-Sikh peers, they are sworn officers and uphold and obey the same laws. Just what exactly is the problem here?

Do you simply have a problem with brown people?

Actually I have nothing against Sikhs or brown people, I respect Sikh's warrior tradition and believe they make terrific police officers and soldiers. But they came to Canada, to a western country, nobody put them at gun point and ordered them to be police officers. Therefore if they wanted to be part of Canadian police force they should conform to that institution, not the other way around.

With that logic, why even have uniforms at all, I mean if people are trained an all that why have hair, grooming or even expensive uniforms... come as you are and put our nifty badge on your tee shirt and be done with it.

They're in uniform. They're complying with every policy in the handbook.

What country did you import your wife from?

Where family members are from is not really relevant, as the topic deals with the US as a whole breaking up.

Romance and family ties are quite a bit different than how people in a society respond to each other.

People who have a great bond of family love can overcome all kinds of challenges to be together and stay together.... can you really say that about some people down the road??

They're in uniform. They're complying with every policy in the handbook.

Q; can a non-Sikh wear that specific head gear on the job?

Q; can a non-Sikh wear that specific head gear on the job?

You mean, like can a male RCMP officer wear this uniform or this cap on the job?

The answer to these questions is no. Gasp. You mean, they actually design customized uniforms for male/female officers? And Sikhs/non-Sikhs? Yes, they do. Imagine that. The travesty that Canadian police forces do something you don't approve of. And you not even a Canadian, at that. I'll make sure the RCMP Commissioner checks in with you, stat, to correct this.

Obviously male and female would require different uniforms due to Customs of dress and male/ female differences in stature.

That makes sense,

Non-uniform uniforms is what seems a little funny, and as you pointed out, they are all trained and capable, why not dispense with the old fashioned idea of a uniform anyway?

Does it? If so, why does the RCMP have female-specific uniforms (shown previously) and ALSO allow its female officers to use gender-neutral uniforms?

Obviously women do not require different uniforms, contrary to what you wrote. They're perfectly capable of wearing the same uniforms their male counterparts do. And yet -- despite that, the RCMP offers approved variations of standard issue uniforms. Gender-neutral. And gender-specific. All of these instantly recognizable as RCMP garb. There is no problem here, no controversy. Not with women in uniform. Not with Sikhs in uniform. Except for with those who simply can't stand to see such things. And you know what such people are called, don't you?......

A uniform is not old-fashioned or outdated. There is great practical value to wearing a uniform. It instantly identifies the bearer as an authority figure.

Danno doesn't like women to wear pants.

I think I have to agree. If someone with a turban was trying to pull me over, I would most likely resist as well. I would probably drive straight to the police station. Why? You see all the signs on tv about all the muslims and all the want to do is kill westerners. I am not really sure why the US even allows them in our country. Regardless, I would just drive straight to the police station to make sure the situation does not end badly.

Regarding the 6 different parts of the US... I've heard for over 20 years that Texas could secede from the US. I would have no problem with that... even if they wanted to call us Mexico. We could quickly eradicate the drug trade and the new "Mexico (Texas)" would function just fine.

That's crazy. I hope you refused to recognize his authority.
