You do not get to demand martyrdom from another.

Since when is speaking out equivalent to martyrdom?

Speaking out isn't martyrdom. "Taking one for the team" after they mentioned staying quiet because they were under threat is.

"Taking one for the team" in the context I used it is not equivalent to "martyrdom" either.

your tangled syntax seems to indicate that you think the KKK was composed of carpetbaggers, which is either a profoundly idiotic error in American History or a failure to communicate which might have been avoided by paying attention in high school English.

As for the gibberish you have written while using James Madison as a sock puppet, i can't even. so i won't

Can't they ascertain who made the 911 call?

Free market in action. I have to agree with revenant...your syntax is tangled, and you give no evidence of understanding US history.

yes, they can do all that but it's a lot more work to trace towers and in some cases it might need the involvement of court orders and restrictions on monitoring all calls.

Face it. Keeping the SWAT team busy in afluent neighborhoods does keep the inner city safer.

So this one time a SWAT team was called in to our neighborhood for a shooting and they were holed up all day outside this one house and the local news set up headquarters in our house 'cause we had the best view of the scene anyway the dude was long gone but it was cool okay that's my story.

Maybe we need less SWAT teams and more emergency mental health teams.
