there. now we can all be friends again
I'd prefer "some" or "a few"...but I can live with that for now.
I've been called a cop apologist which is not true. Trying to keep the focus of the forum clear.
For the most part, we are all friends here. That is decidedly a good thing
Personally, I always enjoyed the Rambo films - never took the psychology involved very seriously though. Watched for the entertainment value.

Rambo films are too far out there, and far too violent, not my cup of tea. But there was a clear message in the movie. The article some things I agreed with some I didn't. One thang that bugs me is that the media and some public think a coroner ruling of homicide is the same as murder. It just means the dead person did not die of natural causes, accident, or own hands.
ugh. real pet peeve of mine when I see an article headline "Coroner rules shooting a homicide!!!!"
I can't even click the article. I only think "that article is written exclusively for morons".
Sadly, their image of Rambo is not the same as depicted in the movie. I think more long the lines of “Judge Dredd”. Remember Dredd and his brother Rico? “LAW?!?! I AM THE LAW!” was Rico’s argument. And today to many cops feel the same way.Today the LEO all think they are Rambo... Rambo in a uniform with a badge and gun,, big problem for all citizens that may interact with Officer Rambo.

Initially, perhaps. But remember that perceptions change with time and changes in culture.I thought that the Rambo movie was a comment on how society treated Vietnam vets .. and a warning that the gov't should not treat people uncivilly ...
Yet the gov't has not learned this lesson yet ... when will they? We know when.
So says the man that watched “Texas Chain Saw Massacre” 18 times (I’m sure of it)!Rambo films are too far out there, and far too violent, not my cup of tea.

Just wait. Soon I'm sure you'll see one saying "Coroner rules murder a homicide". :lol:ugh. real pet peeve of mine when I see an article headline "Coroner rules shooting a homicide!!!!"

Some would say that the man was very civil and he did pursue redress. Others would say he was a little rocky.Rambo should have pursued a civil remedy to gain a redress of wrongs.
