1/ Attended town deliberative session yesterday. We've got a new police chief who seems like a militaristic yahoo. He wants a new PD SUV. Invoked "tactical" this, "9/11" that, etc. He talked about his men being "equipped for the mission". "Mission" We have a ~0% crime rate

4/ Then he !@#-ed about with his cell phone for a minute to play us an audio clip, which was one of our brave heroes exchanging gun fire with a local citizen. I hadn't been aware of this, so I researched it.

6/ TLDR: wife calls police over a domestic - husband is angry and depressed and took a lot of pills. Cop shows up at front porch, talks to wife, learns husband is distraught and took 60 xanax. Husband is inside. Not threatening the cop or the wife. Cop takes wife & leaves

7/ NO, I'M JOKING. That would be sane and useful. What cop does instead of moving wife away from a volatile situation is (a) leaves her on the front porch (b) opens the door and goes inside (c) finds husband who is suicidal & holding a gun (d) screams at him (e) shoots him

8/ So cops starts a gun fight that didn't need to happen WHILE THE WIFE IS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE COP, IN THE LINE OF FIRE. What a !@#-damned idiot. And then, our militaristic idiot chief PLAYS THIS AUDIO to explain why needs a new unmarked SUV. Shamless !@# sucking bastard.
