If these police officers did their duty there would be less gun violence across the country. They need to be held accountable

1. Me will stand up, will me? nt

3. I can't imagine that some blockhead badge-jockey knows about dependent clauses.

I'm guessing spelling his own name correctly is his crowning intellectual achievement.

4. I don't know much about dependent clauses either,

but I know the first person subject is "I", not "me". Even when paired with a third person subject, or in this case, subjects. It's still "I". Always "I". NEVER "me". And certainly never " myself". Just good old "I". That's "I", as in "I"

[Aristus]

6. No, you got it perfectly.

"...and my officers..." is the dependent clause. If you remove the dependent clause, and what remains doesn't make sense, then the sentence is grammatically incorrect. "My officers and I" would have been the right way to word it.

10. "And my officers" is just a phrase, not a clause. It is part of the compound subject

of the clause.

11. So? "I and my friends"

are going down to the pub for a couple of cool ones?" Don't know about this. Guy talks like that probably doesn't HAVE a lot of friends when it comes right down to it.

12. Convention says to put oneself last: "My friends and I." nt

[Aristus]

13. Fair enough.

Point is, our conversation just now would flummox this guy...

[tblue37]

14. For sure. nt

2. Good to hear that "me" will stand up.

Maybe when he’s in jail, he can re-take high school english.

5. Virginia can send in state law enforcement and relieve you of duty.

No problem, Sheriff Jerkwad.

9. Coincidentally, that Lee County is named after Robert E. Lee's father.
