the fact that the cop was a woman?
I'll bet he thinks they should be in that job.

(13,390 posts)My point was if civilians men and women want to shoot with impunity, they have to claim fear because that is the entire basis of stand your ground laws.
If real men don't get scared, they can't legally play wild west.

I feel like the MSM is waiting for some kernel of credibility or something that shows that he's not going to be a disaster if elected as POTUS. I really wish that they'd stop.
