#1 He said that if it was proved that a member of the commission was involved in any wrongdoing he would be punished at once.

would you care to cite some instances Sheikhy Ibrahim Al-Ghaithy?

#3 I am reminded of an interesting tale of some years ago.

A large and brutish friend of mind, who lived in a bad part of town, got a knock on his door from two FBI agents who were seeking to serve a warrant on his next-door neighbor. When he opened his door, the two tried to force their way inside.

He was a golden-gloves runner up in the State before he had studied karate for years from a very skilled Sifu.

Well, after all was said and done, my friend was standing before a confused and distraught judge, who was more than prepared to throw the book at him for putting two FBI agents into the hospital for several months.

The ironic part was so ironic, that the judge again asked the same questions of the agents as had been asked by the prosecutor.

"Are you *sure* that you hadn't identified yourselves when you pushed through the door???"

"Well, no, you honor", they both said. "We had our wallets kind of half-open and I had just said, 'F...', and that's all I got out."

Thus forced into a corner by two very honest FBI agents, the judge could not convict my friend of a felony. But he did find him guilty of a misdemeanor, for which he was sentenced not, as is traditional, "for a year less a day", but in his case, "for a year less an hour."

All told, there are several good points to that story.

#5 these religious police should have to wear identifiable uniforms. They band together tough, but no doubt would whimper like little girls if caught alone. The unis would make it much easier, and show how little support they actually have among the populace when they're caught alone and beaten to pulps.

#6 Everyone please welcome Pappy to Rantburg's moderating team. He's bringing some much needed West Coast hip-hop flair, and may even be replacing me since I keep getting sent to see Muffler Man today. As you can see he mods in a up-to-the-minute stylish pearl gray.

#7 Moose, your friend got screwed.

This is a major problem with police in this country. They seem to think that they can force their way into a private dwelling without a warrant and the victim cannot defend himself.

How many felonies do you think occur because someone just claims to be a police officer?

Your friend should not have been even charged with anything.

#8 Radley Balko has been following the case of a man who is on death row in Virginia for shooting and killing a cop who mistakenly broke into his apartment while on a raid searching for a different man.

#9 I've been following that one, Sea. Where is Jesse, Al, anyone else? The ACLU? It appears that after the shooting the police found , this was in their initial report, no drugs. 24 hours later the report noted a bag of marjaweenie. This is a true travesty. Glen Reynolds has a lot on this case.
