Well, this move can’t hurt. Our offense improved without a doubt but it still failed us in the end….

Gwinnett files counter-claim in Taser-related civil suit | ajc.com: “County attorneys also stated that those studies were not conducted on the same weapons that were sold to the Gwinnett Sheriff’s Department. Another complaint was that the department was never warned that repeated or prolonged use of the weapon could lead to death.”

Lots of nerve takes this. The company didn’t tell us that prolonged and repeated use could lead to death. Ok, what about your own training? We have anywhere from 4 to 7 cops working on one guy. THe guy is handcuffed and manacled, so no real movement for his arms or feet. Is there any reason in hell to tase the guy. You knew he was on medication that he hadn’t been taking. Why not put him in a room until he wears himself out? You already had him restrained so what was the tasing for…..

Another stupid rule of thumb: Don’t wear white after labor day. Why? Is it because the weather will get it dirty? Well, summer is a pretty dirty time of year too what with the smog, grass stains, barbecuing juices, salt water, fresh water, sweat, etc….And does that mean you can only not wear white from Labor Day to New Year’s? I mean technically, come January 1 it’s before Labor Day, and with the rule explicitly stating after Labor Day, I’m thinking it’s a go come Jan 1.

And what is a rule of thumb? Where did that expression come from? The only rules I have for my thumb is stay outta holes you have no business being in. Other than, I let my thumb run the show from it’s end….rules of thumb…we are a silly species….
