The Truth About Gun's Anti-Cop Crusade Reaches a New Low

[ggammell]

Sounds like the officer was operating with a broken eye socket caused by Brown. Punch me in the eye hard enough to break my eye socket, you can bet lead will be flying in your direction if I'm still able to stand and draw.

I'm coming down on the side of Good Shoot for now.

This is the part that is absolutely left out of the news. I wonder how Farago would function in a fight with a broken eye socket. I think it would be one of his "defensive gun use of the day" articles.

Whoever made the decision to keep quite on the PD's end as far as what they released is absolutely genius.

They got the mass media to make statements. They got the "witnesses" to make statements. They got the lawyers of the families to make statements on the news (which is open to use in court) and they got on the record everything else that was stated by anyone even remotely close the whole incident without giving them anything initially. They did release certain things, but only a bit at a time.

Broken eye-anything is a good shoot, anyone who has first hand knowledge about getting hit in the face will know, once you break a bone in someone's face, all bets are off, that person is basically a walking medical case.

Today is the first day I saw a report on the eye socket injury.

If you guys are familiar with the blog site, The Truth About Guns, you may have noticed that Robert Farago, the site's owner, has a real axe to grind against law enforcement. At every possible opportunity he is bashing the police, to a point that can only be described now as an obsession.

He reached a new low with a post in which, based on his extensive personal background in law enforcement, firearms training and criminal investigation [sarcasm there folks] he provides his readers with his "speculations" on what happened in the Michael Brown shooting.

I have to wonder what all departments he tested with that rejected his application.

The Truth About Guns blog is the National Enquirer of firearms blogs.

The website aims for sensationalism rather than sensibility, experience, or tactical acumen.

Just having the word "truth" in the title tries to imply that it holds a monopoly on truth, setting it apart from other gun blogs.

Further, the title itself is a bid to attract viewers of all over the political spectrum in an attempt to drive up hits and traffic and advertiser revenue.

There are two possible explanations for the people who runs the site:

1. They will print anything to stir a controversy, attract attention, be different or get a rise out of people;

2. They haven't a ****ing clue and would make the stupidest gunboard look like USOCCOM.

The site once once printed an article on point shooting by a guy who goes around the Internet preaching that you should pull a handgun trigger with your middle finger so you can align your normal trigger trigger finger along the slide to point the gun.

By printing that article they lost all credibility (or what very little they had). This is the equivalent to a journal of pediatrics printing an article by the national man boy love association.

The blog is also known for printing sensational and inflamatory things--like a situation where an honest homeowner was supposedly trying to defend himself against intruders but found himself disarmed at gunpoint by the police.

It turned out from their own description that the homeowner in the state of NJ heard some strangers by his car outside and decided to investigate it by throwing open his door and racking his shotgun. So by definition, there were no intruders since no one was had broken into his home or was attempting to do so.

The so-called intruders who were on his street turned out to be two police officers investigating something in the neighborhood. Thus the homeowner is lucky he was not shot on the spot for bursting out of his home and racking a round into a shotgun. So no shit the guy winds up facedown at Police gunpoint..

Not to mention acting in a stupid manner in NJ with a firearm. This is the last state where you want to open your door and rack your shotgun at strangers since that act alone could get him arrested in that state.

I got to the part about the holster retention and stopped reading. What a joke.

"The Truth About Guns" is now on my ban list. Farago can kiss my ass.

A friend on mine was beaten to death by an unarmed man. Tell his parents that using a gun on an unarmed person is a bad thing. It is amazing how many "experts" on the news seem to know less about the lawful application of violence that a recruit in a police academy. Disparity of Force is a useful thing to understand. The photos of Ofc Wilson show a skinny person of average height/build. He looks like he never did a push up in his life. Mike Brown (aka "Big Mike") was 6'4'' 290.
