Let's call it mutual.

I'm not willing to volunteer to help if what appears to be the official policy is to allow a certain segment of the membership to post in support of an accused murderer while at almost the exact same time saying "people are watching, we can't get too crazy in our support of the 2nd Amendment". And those may not be exact quotes for the pedantic, but that is the gist of it.

This thread.

We have some LEO and retired LEO members that think that murdering innocent civilians in their homes is good police work. krpind sided with the right of innocent American citizens to not be murdered in their homes by those in law enforcement.

You can see which side won that argument.

Some of you learned the hard way that law enforcement will ALWAYS stick together.

If one defers, it hurts the majority. It's a hive mind kind of like congress, you will never see them vote themselves term limits, it hurts the majority, it hurts the hive, the hive MUST_BE_PROTECTED.

Given the current mix of moderators it wouldn't be irrational to consider ar15.com an LEO oriented site with a sideline in the AR platform and other miscellaneous gun interests.

Yep.  Just as I recalled it.  Seems to me that Bama wasn't concerned that a woman was dead because he considered her to be trash or something along those lines.

You are misunderstanding the way he specifically wants you to interpret those posts. It's a very specific and narrow way of thinking that forces you to ignore critical thought and logic. Key take away for you: Whatever the officer did is totally fine. Pick up that can.

I don't usually have a problem with him, and he is sometimes the voice of reason.  But that little episode was disgusting.  He should have been booted as a mod over that.

The idea that her death was irrelevant because she was trash ... Hell of an attitude for someone invested with power from the state.

I'm not mad and don't be mad for me.

That isn't what I signed up to do. Honestly, I have wanted to "retire" for a while and the timing just seemed right.

I'm proud of what I did here, but let's be honest, I didn't do shit anymore like I used to do. I won't be missed from an official standpoint. There are a lot of good moderators here that really want the best for the site. There are some that I could not disagree with more on just about every single issue, but I believe they want what is best for the site as well. We may not agree on what that is, but that is my belief.

Also the change in the site has nothing to do with the new owners. Trust me. I think they might actually have to force a change eventually, but time will tell on that I suppose.

Oh, well.  Was the cop’s life more valuable than the woman’s?

I walked my dog today without a leash.
I drove 73mph in a 70 zone and made a turn without signaling.

Oh, does the “transgression” have to involve a firearm to be actionable or lock a thread down?  I drank a nice glass of Cabernet with dinner while armed.

I think this whole post is a total waste of site resources.  Do you agree?
