The officer manages to pin Annie while she is laying upside down, before pulling out a handgun and firing a single shot, the deer jolts before going limp. 

Under Michigan law, only licensed rehabilitators can legally possess wildlife – meaning families are banned from keeping wild animals as pets.

“What the monsters you last interacted with did to you was cruel, inhumane, and heartless.”

The police are not your friends. They were there for an unrelated mater and, for whatever reason, decided to kill the deer.

Remember someone loaded the Jews on the trains to the death camps. The police don’t “protect and serve” us!

Argh!

Interesting that the deer was “rehabilitated” just like the “law” intended.  Probably send the carcass to the dump.   

Who or what authorized Officer David Loza to kill the deer?

Argh!

POLITICAL: Universities should be silently neutral in all debates

It so happens that the University of Chicago adopted precisely the correct position all the way back in 1967, in what became known as the Kalven Report.

The answer: the university itself remains neutral, but the professors themselves are free to do and say as they like. 

The university, the statement said, had “a great and unique role to play in fostering the development of social and political values in a society,” but that role is one “for the long term.” Day-to-day debates were not matters for solemn and official statements by the university per se.”

“There is no mechanism by which it can reach a collective position without inhibiting that full freedom of dissent on which it thrives. It cannot insist that all of its members favor a given view of social policy; if it takes collective action, therefore, it does so at the price of censuring any minority who do not agree with the view adopted.”

It is the professors themselves who are to carry out the debate. The university is “the home and sponsor of critics; it is not itself the critic.”

This, it seems to me, is the correct approach. No more writing to express your outrage that University X hasn’t yet issued a statement on Issue Y. Its opinion on Issue Y is moronic and worthless anyway. These “statements” by university presidents are better left unwritten. I promise you, dear reader, the world will be a better place without them.

Certainly seems like a good policy for ALL corporations too.
