Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

"What Do You Mean, We Can't Shoot Unarmed People? They Told Us At The Academy We Could!"


"It's a . . . umm . . . a certain
community that's . . . uh, you know . . .
out there, if you catch my drift."
Our Wonder Guv has established the Task Force For Community-Police Relations.  It's made up of legislators, law enforcement and community leaders, and they've been holding public hearings around Ohio.  At least one cop in the group seems to have learned something.

Michael Navarre, representing the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police, had this to say:

"There's a huge gap between what law enforcement wants and the community wants.  There's a community out there that doesn't want unarmed people shot."

Well, duh, yeah!

This genius makes it sound like police want and need to shoot unarmed citizens, and he's been shocked -- shocked! -- to discover that some folks* might object to that.


*("A community out there."  Golly-gosh, who could he be referring to?)
