    Instead of a war on poverty, they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me.

    Well no shiet, of course the number is high. If all the terrorist lived here, I'm sure the number would be just as high. Your logic fails.

    The thing to take from that is that we are winning the war against terrorism , since 9/11 the focus has been to take the war to the terrorist and keep it off US soil , seems to be a success in that regard .

    Some other interesting statistics

    Hmm... the stories leaked out by the police (video of victim in the store, and now the blood evidence found in the car).

    Why is it the eye witness accounts for the 2 Missouri shooting cases recently all contradict the evidence.

    In the case of Vonderitt Myers, his family said he was holding a sandwich instead of a gun and "witness" accounts states he didn't fire a gun at the off duty officer. However in a report released last week, lab tests found gunshot residue on his hands, shirt and waistband in addition to the recovered gun.

    How much would you expect the family of a moron who robs convenience stores for blunts to be worth exactly?

    The idea that all the evidence has been released isn't a sound one.

    Once all of the evidence comes it out, it will be entirely possible for the eyewitnesses statements to contradict it. That happens a lot because witness statements aren't always completely reliable. That doesn't mean they are lying, but the way memory, perception, and many other variables play into something makes it so.

    But it is silly to draw conclusions based on selected pieces of leaked evidence being out there.

    The eye witnesses could by lying.

    Remember, they haven't liked the police for a long time...

    Eyewitnesses don't have to be lying to get something wrong. Lying involves intent.

    Studies have proven time and time again that eye witness testimony is incredibly unreliable. Within minutes of an event your recall is easily tainted and influenced by your own bias, by what other people say, by the way a question is asked, etc.

    I was recently involved in a lawsuit as a witness and it was shocking to me how easily my mind could change the scene that I witnessed based on what I was asked.

    That's correct, I think their bias probably prevents them from recalling the events accurately. Human intelligence is always the worst intelligence when you are trying to get an accurate picture of events.
