re: Midland (TX) Police Officer killed by man who thought his home was being burglarized

They could have seen the guy though a window. That doesn't seem likely, but it's a possibility.

Sure, and my post was a serious question. I don't know what the protocol is in this kind of situation.

Did you miss this part?

---

No, I didn't. You still said you're glad it's happening.

And if you're good with context clues and you read the rest of my post and the ones previous you should be able to pick up the fact that I wasn't referring to the violence that they have allegedly incited.

---

You are glad it's happening. Those are your words.

You can be displeased with a certain group of people and still agree with them on some points or enjoy the results of some of their actions.

What good has BLM brought about?

. And again, since you require so many caveats, I'm not talking about violence. I'm talking more about general sentiment and zeitgeist.

---

Their sentiment is shite.

Because the other thread had a fricking video of a cop committing a crime and at the very least escalating a situation to a point where force/police action was necessary. In the other thread I stopped addressing the cops that pulled him over the barricade because as you correctly pointed out, we didn’t know what he said that may have warranted that reaction.

But you we’re still wanting more evidence for the first cop, but could never even make a hypothetical argument as to what could possibly justify his actions.

They loudly announced their presence - do they typically do that in the front yard?

---

I would hope so because if they do, it could dramatically stop this shite from happening. If not, maybe they should start.

But you did see what happened.

Unlike in this instance where we don’t have video available, don’t know if the cops where inside or outside the house, don’t know who called. All we know is that a cop was shot at night. That is literally all we know.

You're assuming 'it' means something it doesn't. I'm glad it's happening. What is 'it?' What is the 'it' Im referring to?

I was hoping you'd be smart enough to figure it out based on my other posts but apparently it's not willful ignorance on your part, it's satisfying political and ideological outrage because I've explicitly stated that the 'it' is not violence.

---

The ends justify the means for you. You're cool with the BLM stuff just because you don't like cops. Why can't you just admit that?

Now in his early 30's he has over 250 wells producing about 450 bbl per day.

450 x $56.86 = $25,587 daily - OT Money

---

That’s a shite load of wells to produce 850 bbl per day. Also once you factor in expenses that’s not gonna be OT money

I’m often times amazed at how little some of these wells produce. It’s luterally tens of gallons a day. But again, if you’ve got somwthing that reliably produces $100-$200/day all day every day with minimal expenses, that’s a nice little boost to your finances.

You have 50+ you’re doing all right

Maybe because it's not true.




I thought I made it abundantly clear that I don't trust the government, important historical figures agree, I'm not a huge fan of BLM and their antics and I happen to garner some level of satisfaction when any group of people share my mistrust of government. The, "it's happening", is referring to groups of people cropping up everywhere that have the kind of mistrust of government that Americans had in the early days of its founding. Survivalists, anti-tax protesters, BLM, NRA, tea party, Libertarians, Etc.


But you obviously know more about what I think and feel than I do so you go ahead tell me how I should feel.
