oh, I know they know. It's a matter of making sure the public knows they know and they know that we know that they know ..... or something....

Nope, shouldn't end in a shooting.
The difference is if *I* got a phone call saying "I am the police" I'm going to say "so?"
"Can you confirm how many people you have?"
Me: "Nope. None of your beeswax. Got a warrant? Got a reason for asking? Come to the office and show me a badge first, have a nice day" - Click
It's got nothing to do with being "soft".
When people call my house and ask for someone - I usually ask "Who is THIS" (They called me, I didn't call them.
If they won't tell me who they are, or why they want a person (be it me, my wife, or my kids) I tell them "You called me. You need to identify yourself and IF I feel the need to give you personal, private information I might do so"
I am not obliged to give anyone anything for any reason whatsoever, unless they have a LEGAL reason for it and can PROVE they have a legal reason.
We call that "Opsec" (keeping your operations secure). I practice it at work, and in my personal life.
It's not being "soft" or "hard".
That's MY problem. I could call you up and say I am a cop, when I am not.
(well, not you specifically - since I don't speak Italian, only a few words lol)
I'm so skeptical of people on the phone, I immediately go into FU mode if I catch the faintest whiff of bullshit.
I don't answer the home phone at all any more. It is only there as a vestige of what it used to be. I have all the ringers off but one. We check the callers, and if anyone called we KNOW, we will return the call on the cell and tell them "USE THE DAMNED CELL, WE are turning OFF the home phone soon!"
If ANYONE calls on my cell phone from any number I don't recognize I usually ignore it.
If they leave a message, good. If not, tough shit. I make a phone call and have 'em blocked or I call them back with my number blocked. If I find out they are a business I tell them to fucking remove my cell number instantly if not sooner since it's on the DO NOT call list. If they give me bullshit, I block 'em.
I don't get bothered any more.
Oh, and Solicitors? BEWARE don't come knocking on my door, there are SIGNS.... don't even think you're getting off easy if you knock on my door or ring the bell with a sign right next to the door and door bell.
lol

UN rights chief calls for Trayvon Martin probe
http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2010/im...lay.afp.gi.jpg
UN rights chief Navi Pillay on Thursday called for an "immediate investigation" into the circumstances surrounding the February death of an unarmed black US teen, shot by a neighborhood watchman.
Pillay made the comments about the controversial Trayvon Martin case at a press conference in Barbados, as she wrapped up a three-day visit to the Caribbean island nation.
"As High Commissioner for Human Rights, I call for an immediate investigation," Pillay told reporters.
"Justice must be done for the victim. It's not just this individual case. It calls into question the delivery of justice in all situations like this."
Neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman, a white Hispanic, fatally shot 17-year-old Martin inside a gated community in the Florida town of Sanford on February 26.
Zimmerman has said he acted in self-defense after Martin punched him in the nose, knocked him down and slammed his head into the ground.
The case has unleashed a national uproar over race relations and the right to self-defense in the United States.
Pillay expressed shock that Zimmerman was not arrested right away, and expressed concern about Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law, which allows the use of deadly force in situations where there is a belief of a threat.
"The law should operate equally in respect of all violations. I will be awaiting an investigation and prosecution and trial and of course reparations for the victims concerned," Pillay said.
Sanford police applied for a warrant to arrest Zimmerman in the early stages of the investigation, local media including The Miami Herald reported. Prosecutors however held off approving the warrant, pending further review.
Since Martin's death, there have been numerous large public protests calling for Zimmerman's arrest, but there have been no detention orders and the 28-year-old has gone into hiding, fearing for his life.
LOL. Shut up. Human Rights. My ass.
Who cares?
He's dead.
The "white hispanic" is innocent anyway.
