Police prepare for unrest

Police departments in cities across the country are beefing up their ranks for Election Day, preparing for possible civil unrest and riots after the historic presidential contest.
Public safety officials said in interviews with The Hill that the election, which will end with either the nation’s first black president or its first female vice president, demanded a stronger police presence.
Sometimes riots start when a team WINS. Anger or drunken celebrations can end both ways. Rioting will only further unfortunately the negative charicacter that many Amricans have of Obama supporters either way. The end of election needs to be a time of uniting Americans not further compounding the great divide we are experiencing, no matter who wins or loses.

I personally, do not see rioting as a result of this election. However, to be honest, with some of the strong emotions I've seen even on the Republican side of things and what significance some of them are placing on an Obama Presidency, added security precaution is probably not a bad idea.

Added security precautions might be needed because of ....strong emotions on the Republican side , huh? (I guess Mr. Fair-and-balanced hasn't noticed all the strong emotions on the Democratic side of things.)
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Non-partisan strikes again!!
I luv ya, TStew, but... you're killing me here. LOL

TR, I love the way you took the word "even" out of my original statement. I have long heard of such tactics, but this may be the first time I've seen it up close and personal. You have apparently learned quite a bit from your political interest.
If you leave the statement the way I said it "strong emotions even on the Republican side"...it is in keeping with my opinion that there are strong emotions on both sides. I am hearing people say some pretty incredible things about an Obama Presidency and my statement was that added security precautions are probably a good idea either way.
And I love you too bro. And I am fair and balanced.

OK TS... you got me on that . My bad. I think I read your post a bit too quick. Didnt notice the "even" part in the sentence, which of course is important to what was being said there.
So feel free to apply a head-slap or two (). I walked into that one.
(quietly exiting the room... head hanging down in shame...)
But wait!! Theres more...
As a further punishment to myself, I'm NOT gonna tease you for a whole week. That's right... I'm gonna leave you alone for a whole 7 days.
.......OK, lemme not get carried away here. Maybe 7hours, how about that? (That's the best I can do, bro. 7 hours it is )
