TRH, why would I apologize? You spouted off about something you are clueless about for ten pages.
And complained about me "nitpicking" you language on a discussion about something that requires correct terminology to articulate an idea clearly.
I did especially like the "I don't recall" act though.

Could you make another stab at re-posting that thread link again.
Just put Link: and a space in front of it this time.
Thanks, GTC

The assertion that he was injured by Michael Brown before he shot him may or may not be true; based on the evidence I've seen, I choose until further notice to believe that it is not.
Off topic, but I'd really be interested in the recidivism rate of your Kairos group...

I agree, but that doesn't make any injuries he incurred any less real. What you say is true, but from what I understand, we don't know that he incurred any injuries, just that it has been reported that he's injured. And if he has been injured, we don't know that he was injured by Michael Brown. The assertion that he was injured by Michael Brown before he shot him may or may not be true; based on the evidence I've seen, I choose until further notice to believe that it is not. You are late to the party. It was stated from the beginning the officer was beaten in the face and his eye was swollen shut along with facial swelling. Catch yourself up to date from the beginning of the incident. Damn...
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

liar I'm still waiting for you to provide a single quote that indicates to a reasonable person that I've ever claimed special knowledge about electrocardiograms. Absent that, I'm owed a retraction and an apology. Were you a man, one or the other would be forthcoming, but I'm not holding my breath.

Off topic, but I'd really be interested in the recidivism rate of your Kairos group... Based on research over the last 20 years--may be 25 by now--the five-year recidivism rate varies between 5 and 7 percent. As opposed to 65-70% for ex-offenders in general. It's not secret: look it up.

I can't claim to have been following the situation closely--there are so many cops beating, Tasering, and killing unarmed Mundanes these days--but about a week in was the first I ever heard of an injury to the cop, and it sounded as though it was breaking news.

All I can find are "studies" provided BY Kairos & their affiliates...kind of like asking Al Sharpton if he's prejudiced...

All I can find are "studies" provided BY Kairos & their affiliates...kind of like asking Al Sharpton if he's prejudiced... Probably should have been more specific. The study I saw years ago was regarding ex-offenders who had stayed involved with Kairos (as measured by a particular metric that is perfectly clear if you're involved with Kairos but takes some explaining I don't have time to do now if you're not) for the five years the recidivism was measured over. Regardless of the actual numbers, though, it's clear that if Kairos is in your state, it's wise for you to support it even if you don't believe in God, simply for the tax money it saves you. Gotta scram--to a Kairos team meeting, believe it or not.
