    Most wouldn't know about 'misremembered details' of Hillary or Obama because the regular media routinely buries those stories. The Audacity of Myth: How the Media Ignored Obama's Lies About His Own Biography and Memoir

    Ben Carson and the 3rd rail

    I've heard comments that since Ben Carson was active in the ROTC program and that he excelled in it, along with getting explemplary grades in school, as well as being a minority, that he would have been slam dunk to get a 'scholarship' to W.P. It would have behooved Westmoreland and his brass...

    Ben Carson and the 3rd rail

    An example of someone recalling a significant occasion would be this: A person had to recall the very first time they had a date with their future wife. Some may vividly and accurately recall the restaurant and movie they went to. Others may confuse their first date with the second or third and...

    Ben Carson and the 3rd rail

    Not really proven that he actually lied nor that he made up the story about being offered a scholorship. He may very well had been promised a scholorship, but merely confused the exact date and occasion of events.

    Ben Carson and the 3rd rail

    Remembering something from twenty years prior. Someone can get some of their facts wrong. It doesn't mean their lying or senile. It's pretty much human nature. I do believe he did meet Westmoreland at the previous banquet and was impressed upon him ( him or WP brass) that he could have a...

    Ben Carson and the 3rd rail

    Probably not. Williams claimed he was shot down, which didn't happen. Carson claimed he met Westmoreland and that he was offered a 'scholarship' to West Point. He may still have met Westmoreland at the other banquet and could have been told by him or other WP brass that 'you're as good as in' if...

    Ben Carson and the 3rd rail

    Yes we know he said that. He might be confusing the time he met Westmoreland with the earlier banquet when he was in Detroit. It does happen you know. People recalling something from over twenty years ago( his 1992 book) might mix up the two occasions. Heck, sometimes I forget where I drove a...

    Ben Carson and the 3rd rail

    So you know that Westmoreland or other military personel didn't tell him 'we can get you in to West Point', essentially offering him a scholarship?

    Did he fear for his life?

    Certainly if an officer is going to choose a more aggressive approach to arresting someone, they should be responsible for the consequences. For the sake of discussion, let's say the officer should have arrested her. How would officer Cheri do the arrest? (Hand cuff her by yourself )

    Did he fear for his life?

    Maybe the arrest shouldn't have happened. As pointed out previously, it probably should have been dealt with differently by school officials regarding the response to the girl and also summoning an officer to take care of the situation. But since the officer was called and he decided to arrest...

    Very nice design, but the current logo is iconic. Unlikely to change tradition.

    Did he fear for his life?

    Not sure what interjecting race has to do with this particular discussion. It's going to happen-- a white cop arresting a black person. As well as a white cop arresting a white person aggressively. Just because the white officer used an aggressive tactic( without injury) on a black person, some...
