LB Returns to MSNBC

Very cool. Count me in.

yay!

Cool. I show up at your blog at 4:59. Just in time.

Good thing that DSL got fixed today, I guess.

Woohooo…
here she is

Hello woman…
He physically raped a woman…
what part of that are you mssing…

and stop interupting

Hmm,
Should they have had two, 5 foot tall women? Would that had made it better?? (since being a woman does not matter)

The first segment was pure ownage. I’m sure my neighbors thought I was nuts the way I was cheering La Shawn on.

I like what that guy from Front Royal posted. That was dead on.

According to this la shawn, one incident is enough to change the rules so that what, no more female officers. What’s happening here is mob rule, and everyone is gung ho for action while failing to realize this was one unique event. It happened, it wasn’t planned. You want an officer bigger then the criminal, but someone’s always going to be bigger, someone’s always going to be stronger. So stop disgracing women’s ability, and judge this as an unfortunate event.

I am watching you on TV as I write.

I spent 8 years slowly working out what was a complete mystery to me at first: whether or not women could make good police officers — at least good patrol officers.

I talked to 25 male officers (w/o saying which way I was leaning when I began to lean), observed every female police action I could on the street and on TV reality shows. At an earlier time in my life I spent 15 years in New York City’s bad lands (which included visiting a lot of jails) so I have a some practical idea of what fighting crime takes.

My conclusion is that women do not reliably handle the 5% of the time that is 50% of the job — not saying they don’t ever: sometimes they might, sometimes might not. I did not want to reach this conclusion.

The federal judiciary who put them on the job should have said: EXPERIMENT. Women had every right to an experiment — as with the female fighter pilots. Judges had no business simply stating they were good.

Good segment Lashawn. And if I may be allowed,your makeup did not look heavy.

I agree with you. It seems that common sense did not prevail regarding this incident. As a firearms instructor in the D.C. area, I instruct,and interact with law enforcement. All of the officers,male & female that I’ve worked with agree that you must PROJECT POWER in order to restrain and escort a prisoner under your care regardless if that person is 5′3,120 pound male OR female,or a 6′0 200 pound male OR female. This was simply not the case in this incident. A female corrections officer I spoke to over the weekend put it this way, ” It would be my job to escort him, but I would have demanded and received two of the biggest fellow officers I know to escort us. Size up your prisoner and prepare. Simple common sense.”

It will be interesting to see what the deputy herself says when she is recovered. My guess is that she will blame it on herself, not on procedure or gender or whatever. Remember, it’s women of all kinds who are behind the drive to do whatever a man can do.

Strong points…use of the phrase ‘common sense’. This really is THE point.

Weak point…injecting the phrase “politically correct” into the argument, which makes it a “liberal”<> “conservative” issue, which it is not.

Fulton County….hopelessly incompetent with a DA that left me speechless.

Other participants…woman from New York made good points focusing on fact that number of officers was the first mistake. But seemed a little like a know-it-all. Phrase “common sense” was a good antidote for her attitude. Prof. from John Jay explained issue quite clearly and had the most compassion in his voice. Ron Reagan…poser. Monica Crowley…much better on her own show than on other shows, where as a guest she spouts a lot of conservative rhetoric.

BTW, this was a mistake in gender because the man is a rapist. La Shawn is absolutely correct that he was emboldened when he saw the short FEMALE. Even your average tall Joe will try to intimidate women if it means they will get their way, and this guy was more than average on the mean side. If he’d been escorted by a man, he would have had more respect for him holding the gun. Just the fact that he took that one woman hostage gives you an idea of what he thinks about women. The common sense blogger was the correct one on the panel.

The woman who eventually called 911 was kidnapped and then held hostage in her home (tied up for part of that time) was most certainly harmed. You might want to re-think your statement.

One Man’s Opinion:
You’re right. Women can do this job. However, in this instance 3 or 4 women were required. Or manacles. I don’t necessarily think it’s political correctness at fault. This situation was ignored or misread by the people in charge of security. There are better answers than a bigger guard. Even a larger man can be taken. You need an overwhelming advantage of numbers or shackles.

What happened to that woman was a crime and you can be sure it will be part of the many charges against him. I’m quite sure that she was terrorized. It just so happened that she was an extraordinary person who, with the help of God, was able to find a way out of the situation. I would not want that to happen to me or any of my loved ones. Would you?

LaShawn,
Any link to audio or video/audio of MSNBC? Checked web of MSNBC and found nothing.
Have gained knowledge of cable modem. I can fix better than telephone help of Comcast unless power surge blows physical modem. Most computer problems are hard disk problems.
This is Albert Einstein’s birthday. In 1905 the Bern patent examiner brought forth three different theories including special relativity. He never won Nobel Prize for Special Relativity even though it was proved in all aspects by his death in 1955.
The photoelectric effect resulted in the TV tube.
How anyone the link to Political Teen?

One Man’s Opinion: She wasn’t harmed? She was kidnapped at gunpoint and tied up for starters and dealt with the possibility that she might be killed leaving her daughter an orphan. Thank goodness this the opinion of only one man.

Sorry, they just finished the segment (but it will beon at 11 again).

One Man’s Opinion,

Why the vitriol? We all agree that the first problem was the number of deputees. The second was the physical disparity between the two participants. La Shawn feels that females should not have been used at all for this reason. Her opinion on this shouldn’t be the primary discussion. I would think that there should have been 3-4 with at least 1 not being cut from the mold of Barney Fife. I think we all agree that Fulton County had major procedural problems that cost 4 good people their lives and that only the compassion of a good Christian woman kept it from being worse.

La Shawn came across very well. I’d never seen or heard her before. But I’m very concerned that she is being typecast as a black, female conservative and that being the case, is being brought on as Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin and a few others for partly entertainment purposes. Everyone knows what those two ladies are going to say before they come on. They’re paired with liberals, who have the same kind of personalities with opposite points of views. Few really know that much about Coulters views. They’re attracted by a long-haired blonde(?) who says outrageous things. She appeals to me about as much as Carville. I never learn anything from those shows. I just turn the channel.
La Shawn did not come off that way at all. But I wonder if she would get a sniff if she was white or a black liberal. I would really like to see her on PBS or C-Span, where she could be in a discussion with others in which political rhetoric would be sternly dealt with so
serious discussions could be held in substantive ways. I think she’d be gangbusters and it would expand her career.

LaShawn–when your computer konks out, you should go to a friend’s house or the library or an internet cafe. Or, if you have an Apple store where you live, you can go there for free internet access.

La Shawn,

You look better every time you are on TV! As Indigo Insights is quoted as saying, “too cute to be staying indoors blogging”.

Now this is a subject of which I have a great deal of experience, knowledge, and strong opinions about. I will Email you with what I have to say about it, as it will take too much room for comments. Let me just say up front that you are much closer to the truth about law enforcement than the NY State Courts Officer, who was obviously more interested in preserving political correcteness.

Of course, she outlined NYSCPD’s procedures, which are similar to those most departments follow, and which would have compensated for the physical disparity between the injured officer and Nichols, but she avoided addressing the issue at hand, which was gender and the question of physical size and strength disparity between officers and suspects.

Er- that doesn’t read quite the way I typed it, oh well.

La Shawn I thought that you presented yourself very professionally. If you say you weren’t ready for the show, then I guess your female counter part doesn’t know anything.
