http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/dmchenry/7120 During our morning news meeting each day we look at the stats for Bakersfield.com to see what you all are reading. It helps us figure out what you all are really interested in (of course it's not the only measuring stick we use.) Well this morning, sitting at the top of the list -- with five times as many page views as the next story -- was an Associated Press story on a Border Patrol agent shooting and killing someone crossing the border illegally. Normally our wire stories get much lower traffic than our local stories. So when one jumps to the top it's usually a big hint that some site is linking to our story. Some site with a big audience. Sometimes it's Fark.com. Today it is WorldNetDaily. If you haven't heard of WorldNetDaily, check out their wikipedia entry.

Beside her in our fine City a cop recently shot a guy holding a knife, the guy had a partner with him and a dog, that will teach you to bring a knife to a gun fight.

You say here in town a city cop shot a &quot;guy holding a knife.&quot; In truth, the officer shot the suspect, who was armed with a knife, after he sliced the officer's forearm open with the just stolen knife. He also cut the officer's K-9 &quot;partner.&quot; This guy was hell bent on getting away, since the night before he broke a man's jaw, and stabbed another man to death a few blocks away. </p> <p>It is obvious from your usual ranting comments that you have a dislike for law enforcement and the criminal justice system.

After a Guy is gone you can say anything about his past deeds, he will never be in court to refute it.<br /> Again the liberal investigative media left off most of the story, thank god for super sleuths like you give us , rest of the story as radio Jock Paul Harvey used to say.<br /> Incidentally I have two German Shepards 122, and 120 lbs, Brutus and Caesar, if they could not bring a guy down, I would send them to the pound. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/dmchenry/7120/#c_71022 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/dmchenry/7120/#c_71022 Some of my best friends, and relatives too are law enforcement, but&nbsp; why not tell it like it is, this was not the first guy time a guy gets burned and it will not be the last.<br /> As for the other incidents of law breaking, I hope you did not get it from his confession after his knife/gun/dog fight.

Me, a super sleuth? I don't think so slick. I just try and stay abreast of what goes on in this town. And having two large dogs to guard&nbsp;the pink flamingos in your chainlink fenced&nbsp;yard is a little different than trained police dogs. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/dmchenry/7120/#c_71077 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/dmchenry/7120/#c_71077 Me, a super sleuth?

Who let&nbsp; the dogs out, arf arf!&nbsp; Trained dogs trained to do what, testify that your partner was right ?Apparently this dog was trained only after the suspect was shot, he obviously belongs in the pound.<br /> Incidentally I don't care that this guy got shot he probably deserved it, but the cover up is not good. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/dmchenry/7120/#c_71102 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/dmchenry/7120/#c_71102 Who let&nbsp; the dogs out, arf arf!&nbsp; Trained dogs trained to do what, testify that your partner was right ?Apparently this dog was trained only after the suspect was shot, he obviously belongs in the pound.<br /> Incidentally I don't care that this guy got shot he probably deserved it, but the cover up is not good. Red Kern, what do you mean a &quot;cover up?&quot; You are&nbsp;a moron to suggest that.&nbsp;For your uninformed info, the whole incident was captured on video via the Valley Plaza's cameras. And you really need to take a class on proper punctuation. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/dmchenry/7120/#c_71104 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/dmchenry/7120/#c_71104 Red Kern, what do you mean a &quot;cover up?&quot; You are&nbsp;a moron to suggest that.&nbsp;For your uninformed info, the whole incident was captured on video via the Valley Plaza's cameras.

I am glad you saw the video but as an insider I am sure you did before the editing, of course.<br /> And yes, professor I am studying your posts and hope to reach the literary expertise that you posses.
