Ok, so here it is. Jan 31, Officer Sean Andrews in Onondaga County, NY pulls over this lady in a minivan with two kids. Ok lets back up a bit here.

Officer Andrews pulled over Audra Harmon because she appeared to be speeding (50 in 45mph), and talking on her phone with her two kids in the van. According to the fox article linked below Harmon was uncooperative with Andrews so he tased her fearing that she would try to drive off which would mean he’d have to chase her and put the two kids in danger.

There was a administrative hearing August 20th, to which he was suspended for 30 days and could still face other Disciplinary actions as well. Oh and News flash, Harmon is suing the officer? Come on, I can’t believe that everyone is all of the sudden against this officer, she even agreed that he was right in his statement about the incident.

Let me get this straight, there’s an officer that pulls over a van for possible violations and when the lady doesn’t cooperate and to which he doesn’t always have a good sight of her hands, tases her a couple of times to protect himself from possible harm and chase, then gets punished for doing what he’s TRAINED to do? This is insane, and even his DIRECT supervisor supports him, which is what should happen.

However, politics as always have to get in the WAY of those that put their lives on the line everyday to make sure that you and me are as safe as possible by enforcing the rules of the road, or what have you.

Don’t misunderstand me though, I’m sure there are “bad” cops that need to be rooted out, and I don’t stand for officers that deliberately use their training to get what they want personally. As far as I can tell this officer in no way did anything but follow his training, his supervisor didn’t see any violations.

Why are these officers being trained like this but then we go and “slap” them in the face when they use it to protect themselves in a situation like this? I guarantee you if some of these op-posers had to do this job and ran into an incident like this they wouldn’t pass at all. Some are cut out for it, and others aren’t.

NY Cop suspended for following his training?!?!?!?

Click play once it loads, and be prepared to laugh!

Enough said? This is one of the craziest things I’ve heard, calling 911 because they can’t/won’t make a cheeseburger how you want it? I’m not sure why they didn’t make them by her request, but it still doesn’t warrant a call to 911. I think this woman has a good point though, their slogan is “We’ll make it the way you order it”.

Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi was released from scotland prison for “Compassionate” grounds.  Evidently that means that if your “sick” then you can go home to your family for the last “few months” of your life. However, this is not true unless you’re a terrorist from Libya evidently.

Let me say that I can understand it from the point of view that it would be nice to see your family and say final good byes, however, do they not have visitation rights at that prison?  He was CONVICTED of killiing 259 people in 1988 that were on a plane flying over Scotland, including another 11 people on the ground in the area where the plane went down.

In my opinion, and I’m clearly not alone in this one, NO ONE should be released from prison unless it’s because they’re wrongly convicted, or have served their time. Especially in this case involving a terrorist. Oh, and guess what happens when he made it to Libya? They were surrounding the plane applauding him, in their minds he’s a hero for taking out 270 INNOCENT people because those people “didn’t” believe like they did?  First of all how do they know who believes what? Just because someone lives in a certain area, doesn’t mean they believe the same thing their neighbor does.

This story stinks, and I have a feeling we aren’t told exactly why he got released, and if he actually does have cancer?  Has anyone challenged that diagnoses at all?  I’m not saying they ARE lying, but anything is possible these days.

I used this article from foxnews.com, read it for yourself.

According to an InsideTech article called “More Stores Selling Netbooks with Phone-like Wireless Plans” NetBooks are being “Sold” for about $60/mth, however, that contract lasts 2 Years, which means that you pay MORE then $200-300 for it. My advice…? Don’t pay it, go to a store, whether it be at best buy, wal-mart, or any other place that sales PCs, or online. Why you ask? Because you can actually buy one for around $300 instead of renting one for $60 per month, yes you would pay more “Up front” however, for the long run it’s a better deal to get one at the store and not have to worry about being able to pay the monthly bill and the contract.

The only perk of paying monthly for this is that you get wireless access for internet anywhere just like you might on your cell phone, you pay for what you get so it’s up to you. Just passing my thoughts on about it.

Anyway, more about that in a later post.  I posted this because they are coming out with a new program called TS3, it’s suppose to be written “From the ground up” with new features, etc.., I’m excited, can’t wait until it finally comes out.
