    Well since this isn't really important anymore and for what it's worth, my Platform 2's have taken a pretty good beating for almost 4 months now, and are still stiff. I wouldn't hesitate to buy Platform 3's, but I'm not one to buy into anything I read on the internet (including other peoples opinions) ..

    Now the Lieutenant that was charged threatened to kill himself ... court documents surfaced that showed he has restraining orders placed against him, and that he has his guns confiscated by the PD because he was having mental issues ..  (and they let this guy retain a badge and weapons) ... absolutely asinine .. IMO

    Rioting or peacefully protesting JUST to get on T.V. is a complete waste of time ... some people will just do anything for what they think will make them famous.  Pathetic ..

    The rioters after the games are just as bad. A lot of people made that a big deal, but mainstream media doesn't look at it that way.

    It's a big deal to everybody because they are ignorant. They make it a race matter.

    At the end of the day a guy is dead because of something that happened in police custody. Nobody knows what happened, but someone F'd up... To make it a race matter is asinine, 2X as many white people have died while involved with police...

    Oh yeah, and how do you end up in police custody anyway??? Everyone forgets about that part...

    I'm here to play the devil's advocate and correct cnn's blatant disregard for the whole picture, yes blacks account for only half as many deaths by police than whites. But when you take into perspective that whites account for 63 % of the population vs blacks at a lowly 12%. So doing the math 1 in 160869 people were black vs 1 in 495000 were white. Now I've rounded down so these aren't exactly on point but you get the General idea.

     

    What does population percentage have to do with incarceration percentage? Cite the wrong stat much? You could also probably type cast the ones who have trouble in that situation by the crime they did too, but don't look at pertinent stats.

    Either way, the problem at hand is two things that both should be repaired. There is no reason to treat anyone poorly. EVER. I don't care what they did or whatever, just treatment is a right in this country.

    The other is the idiocy that leads to rioting. Those dipshits should be jailed/fined hard as that is completely unacceptable.

     

    I think he is trying to say that the percentage of white people are arrested in higher numbers because there are far more in the country to be arrested, but per say 10,000 people of each race, there are more black people arrested.

     

    There is no reason to treat people poorly but again, there are always people who think they are above the law and can get away with things because they wear a badge.

     

    I don't know why, but when a serious riot starts, police tend to back off and only arrest a fraction of the people involved, instead of taking the "shoot now, ask questions later" approach that has been storming the media lately.

    There is without a doubt, some law enforcement officers who are racist, but not nearly as many as what a lot of these people are thinking. Weeding out the bad policemen is a good idea but law enforcement will never be totally uncorrupt. I still maintain the position that it all starts with the parents. Parents need to punish there kids with a good beating instead of taking away a cell phone or internet, and parents of kids who are bullied need to teach their kids to stand up for themselves so they do not grow up and want to get a badge just to bully people because they were bullied as kids.

    And a very self serving owner. No place for that attitude IMO and no matter the product (which has not been stellar) I wouldn't do business with him

    That is the very reason I seemed to get a bad welcome on my return to SSA,from my opinion wink.png

    I've only talked to the guy I think twice on this forum, and he does indeed seem "self serving". Seems to look down on people, and doesn't wanna help. The very reason forums of any kind are fading. People come here for advice/help/suggestions, and when people bash them, make fun of them, etc. it completely turns them away.

    I really like that color!  I bought a brand new 2012 Yamaha Raider just about a month ago. The big cc bikes are so much fun to ride. Limitless torque, really stable on the highway! What kind of mileage do you get(if you have figured it yet)? My Raider ges between 42-45 mpg.

    Impressive numbers for a near stock truck

    The factory 1000 Allison does not like this much power . it started a tad bit of slipping on the 2nd run ... will have to tune it down a bit..  not ready to put money into a built transmission for a truck that gets driven 3000 miles a year
