Are you trying to suggest that there would be suspects who were simply allowed
to continue do their evil deed ?

You overestimate what a few ppl can achieve. You're quite obsessed by the
curious idea that our society is so flimsy that it'll fall over if anyone so

I have yet to see or hear either a denial or a retraction.
The web page you sent us to doesn't deny or retract either.
I don't download videos so I don't know what that has in it.

Federal judicial appointments are extremely politicized, with
Supreme Court justice appointments the most politicized of all.

legitimate question would be "How long do you think a suspected
criminal may legitimately be detained....." By using the word
"should" he's altered the entire implication of his "question".
