LETTER: Don’t disobey the cops when they pull you over on the road

For several decades, it seems the vast majority of police shootings involving drivers occur during a traffic stop when the driver refuses to obey police commands. These stops escalate to their violent result because the driver invariably disobeys police commands. These commands given have understandable reasons, and it is not for the driver to determine the cause for the action.

It would be prudent for any driver’s education course to include the action to take if the driver is pulled over by the police. The Legislature should add this training pursuant to completion of any driver’s education course. In addition, any driver who fails to obey police commands during a police stop risks the impounding and possible forfeiture of the vehicle.

These lessons should also be taught in the high schools and should include video of proper response procedures. All students need to learn to listen to police protocols in all situations and react accordingly. Don’t argue. Obey.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
