That dream is beautiful. I'd like to imagine this all happening within a perfect Panopticon with Foucault conceptually present.

@42: What should we do about junkies? I'm not trying to be confrontational. I honestly feel like there is no good answer.

@75:
This passage makes me think Loveschild MUST be a hoax or has totally lost her way from the endless Slog bantering. LC, you're essentially saying "If you gays just stop being so uppity maybe people would be willing to give you some rights." I know you see no comparisons between gay rights and other civil rights movements, but even you must be able to see the parallels between the two struggles. Even if you believe being gay is a choice, can't you see how this sounds to those of us who don't?
don't you think that maybe if you were more willing to stop this battle against marriage and reassure the people (only if you truly meant it) that you do not seek the implementation of gay marriage in the nation that people would not be more willing to find a way for you to have those few necessities that you need.

This is my fear too. It's not that I don't respect and appreciate the police, I'm just scared of what could happen if we don't catch the killer soon.
The police are very much on edge right now, and I really hope no one innocent gets shot.

@30: I don't really get your point. I am saying they are treating this much more seriously than they would treat a civilian case. This doesn't mean they haven't shown civilian murders enough respect/investigation, just that I strongly doubt that if area man John Doe, had been shot by someone driving a light grey sedan, they would start stopping everyone driving one.
My point isn't that they don't do enough normally, but that they're responding way too heavily now.
I want the killer caught as much as any of you. I just don't think unnecessarily harassing and frightening they people the police are sworn to protect is the best way to do this.
I've said my piece.

OK: Matt, humor me: Replace "light gray sedan" with "5'10" black man" and tell me it's still reasonable to stop the car and point 20 hand guns at it. This is obviously not as bad as racial profiling, but it's about as rational.

Matt, I think you might need to take a SLOG break and work on your recent troll-like behavior. (Forgive me if I've said this to you before.)
You're being totally irrational. Catching this criminal doesn't require this sort of overreaction. I understand that the police are scared but no other profession is given this kind of latitude for bad behavior.

@18: You did read the story about Lynn Shelton's car being pulled over, right... for the terribly suspicious act of being LIGHT GRAY?
Did you mean to attack @16 or was that bile directed at someone else?

@14: it's just that "suspicious" is being applied pretty broadly right now. How long before someone makes a wrong move and some scared, trigger-happy civilian or cop escalates the situation?
