    Should have called it Chinook Land Independent Territory.

    Those old white cops would NEVER find their hiding spot.

    Chinook Winds needs to build a casino on the river!

    Unmasked Walmart shopper is caught on camera pulling a GUN on customer during 'dispute about face coverings' as young girl attempts to pull victim away from the confrontation
    • An unmasked shopper at a Florida Walmart pulled a gun on another customer who was wearing a facial covering, said the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office
    • The incident at the Walmart store in Royal Palm Beach Sunday was caught on surveillance video
    • Authorities released images of the gunman as he faced off with the mask-wearing customer, who also is seen being pulled away by a young girl
    • Another masked customer is seen in the released images, who the gunman is alleged to have given the finger, cops said
    • The gunman, who was seen pushing an elderly man in a wheelchair, left the store in a white van
    • He was later found by cops, who said he is cooperating with an ongoing investigation
    The sheriff's office declined to name the gunman, but said he was cooperating with an ongoing investigation looking into why he brandished the weapon.

    'The suspect has been identified and is cooperating with the investigation,' said sheriff's spokeswoman Teri Barbera, in an email Wednesday sent to the Sun-Sentinel.

    If that was a black man pulling a gun on a white man there wouldn't be an ongoing investigation. He would be arrested.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Far more so than many other law enforcement jobs, if danger is what we're talking about. The idea that traffic stops need armed men and women to handle them is part of the problem of the absurd escalation in violence we see in law enforcement.

    I completely disagree with this statement. You've got no idea what you're walking into during a traffic stop.

    That's like saying parking meter readers should be armed because "you never know." What if someone was incensed over getting a ticket a minute after the meter ran out? Obviously, violence could erupt in any situation; that's a terrible reason for arming everyone.

    Married women probably should be armed against their husbands more than police doing traffic stops, if the metric is likelihood to experience violence.
