Officer collides patrol car head on with a wrong-way vehicle to prevent it from hitting other vehicles

Reported by Global News on 2015-04-02

A Brentwood, Tennessee police officer said he had to make a split-second decision on how to stop a driver going the wrong way down a major highway last Thursday. The result was this: a head-on crash between the officer’s cruiser and the wrong-way driver, all caught on the dashboard camera…. Brentwood police spotted the vehicle travelling at high speeds near Concord Road in Brentwood, and radioed ahead to Officer Cliff Thompson, who was north of the wrong-way driver. Thompson spotted the driver and attempted to use his patrol car to force her into the concrete median. But with the driver showing no signs of stopping, Thompson said he was forced to make a quick decision, as traffic had been stopped just a little further up the highway. So he aimed his cruiser directly at the oncoming vehicle – and held on tight. Both Thompson and the other driver, 59-year-old Sandra Sharpe of Nashville, Tennessee, were taken to hospital with minor injuries….

Officers buy needy family a car seat instead of ticketing them

Reported by ABC News on April 1, 2015

Two Michigan police officers are being hailed for making the decision to buy a car seat for a family in need instead of citing the child’s parents. Officers Jason Pavlige and James Hodges of Fruitport Township, Michigan, responded to a dispatch call reporting a woman at a local McDonalds holding a baby in her arms in a car’s passenger seat. The officers … pulled over the driver, also the father of the 10-month-old girl, on the violation…. When the officers spoke with the parents, who were not identified, they quickly realized they did not have the resources to purchase a car seat for their daughter…. Instead of issuing the parents a citation, Pavlige and Hodges decided to take action in another way…. While Pavlige stayed with the family, Hodges went to a local Walmart and purchased a new car seat with money from his and Pavlige’s own pockets. They then installed the car seat and gave the family instructions on how to properly use it…. Hodges and Pavlige’s good deed occurred in February but was publicized just last week after a Walmart employee called the police station to report what the officers had done….

John Kerry Preaches on “Immorality” of Doubting “Climate Change”

Reported By www.thenewamerican.com on 2015-03-13

“Donning the robes of High Priest of Science, Secretary of State John Kerry delivered a rousing sermon … that presumed to speak for both Science and Religion on the supposed existential threat of anthropogenic (manmade) global warming, AGW…. The radical Heinz Family Foundation, largely controlled by John Kerry’s wife Teresa Heinz Kerry, is one of the major funders of the AGW alarmist movement…. It is the continued, obstinate use of the phony consensus meme by you and your AGW allies, Secretary Kerry, to intimidate and vilify all opposition, along with your attempts to use the fear generated by AGW alarmism to establish a tyrannical global climate regime that is truly immoral.” 

The Science is Settled

Reported By libertyletters.tumblr.com on 2015-03-12

“It’s a familiar refrain used by those who want to control what you think – The science is settled…. The science is settled!!  The globe is warming because of humans. Even though the temperature has not increased in 16 years, global warming is supposedly the most dangerous issue humans are facing…. When proponents declare that the science is settled, scientific discovery is exterminated.  Science proves theories by actually trying to disprove them.  Examples are actively searched for that negate a concept.  Using the Scientific Method, experiments are conducted with the specific purpose to refute an hypothesis.  Data is collected and examined.  If these experiments fail, then the theory has actually been validated. Pseudoscience does just the opposite by looking only for confirmations of a theory and avoiding challenges. Welcome to the world of global warming….  Contrary evidence and data is considered criminal.  Activists undermine anyone who exposes proof and facts debunking these theories, claiming they are deniers who hate science.  Yet it is they who are shutting out true analysis and rejecting scientific discovery….”
