I Wonder if She's a Liberal Professor?
University professor believes Boston Police treated bombing suspect too harshly | Common Sense Central - Milwaukee's Talk Station
Really? Too harsh? The real gem here is that she points to the condition of the older a-holes body as evidence that he was treated too rough. Did she not read that the younger a-hole ran him over? The parents of her students must be happy that she's teaching their kids.

https://www.facebook.com/Ruthobrienwsgccunyedu

feel free to tell her what she should be upset about and be sure to include his mangled body looked like that because of his own stupid terrorist brother running him over with his car and dragging him 45 feet you dumbass
some freakin people

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

She didn't even get the police department right. It was the Watertown Police that apprehended him, not Boston. And if I heard correctly, he was running at them with a bomb strapped to him and firing 2 handguns. Were they supposed to ask him nicely to stop and please lie still on the ground while they put the cuffs on?

We have way too many academic morons in this country, let alone this world.
If they could only remove their heads from their asses, they might actually become intelligent.
Unfortunately, as Ron White says "You can't fix stupid!"

Look at their motivation. They have a job for life, and their only responsibility is to teach and publish papers that gets attention for the school.

There were pics leaked showing him on the slab. My wife's friend is an ER nurse there and she saw him up close and said the big gash on his torso was from getting run over. The doctors and nurses all agreed that he was killed by the SUV, not the bullet wound to the head. Even after he was shot, he was struggling while the police were cuffing him.

I have no interest in seeing the photos either.
The author of this article seems like the type of individual who sits back and listens to her self speak with pauses so as she can find the words, to make her seem as intelligent as possible. She espouses theories on how law enforcement officials should have handled the situation. In her world surrounded by psychophantes and self congratulating "scholars" I am certain her thoughts are applauded and revered.
Those of us that realize life isn't lived in a vaccuum where variables such as "gun fire, bombs and fear of death" can appreciate the handling of the situation by the officers in question and do not question how the events unfolded.
There will always be people like this author hopefully all people will never be like this author.

I want to pause
so I sound more intelligent
but I can't
because this post
was
so
great
I'm more and more convinced that Poli-Sci professors and other disciplines should be required to spend time out of academia, minimum 3 out of every 10 years. Right now they are like a Self-licking Ice Cream Cone with no need to live in the real world, just their Happy Place.

Agreed I think the same could be said about any one who gains a living in the political world. If senators reps etc were required to maintain an income outside of their appointments. We would see an influx of those that truly wanted a better nation. Not just those Individuals that can sell a false idol to catch a free ride.

That was the situation when this nation was founded. Federal senators and reps were not "full time." Their pay was not all that good, and they spent most of the time tending to their own business. They weren't constantly campaigning. Laws they passed affected them as directly as they did anyone else. They understood and operated under the limitations the Constitution placed on them. And they assembled periodically to do any needed tweaking or fixing within those limited bounds.
Our modern pols convinced us that seeing to all aspects of our lives was more important than limitations on an outdated piece of parchment placed on them. So they needed to 24/7 watch over us. And, of course, the proper remuneration to do so, and the massive staffs necessary to help them, and the creation of unelected regulatory agencies to actually flesh out the rules we live by. This is the way to a better nation, don't you see?

And they need to take at least 3 years off from time of retirement / lost election before they can work as a lobbyist. Oh, toss in term limits too. Otherwise they are just Champions of the Political Class.

I agree w/the term limits - 3 sounds about right. The outside income i have a problem with. I want them spending 100% of their time on running the country. You also run the risk of someone beholding to their employeer or no show type of jobs. The do have to run 2 households - home and in Washington.

Agree:
- Term Limits: 2 or 3 Senate (that is 18 years!), 3 House
- I want them dedicated to the job as well. The blind trusts that manage their affairs in office should be verified to ensure it is above board but for the most part it works.
Still, preventing lobbying for 3 (maybe 5) years after leaving office may reduce some of the influence lobbying has.

I agree with the lobbying also - should have posted that. It is amazing when you hear about people leaving jobs who worked on legislation and then are lobbying a few weeks later on the same issues they worked on.
