Tamir Rice had a gun that looked absolutely identical to a gun. If you pointed that at me, I would shoot you in defense of myself. And I wouldn't go to jail, nor should I.
Actually, if you shot a 12 year old playing with a toy he wasn't pointing at you and didn't have in his had, you would go to jail.
Sandra Bland hanged herself.
After she was falsely arrested, roughed up and denied medical attention, she supposedly hanged herself.
Laquan McDonald had a large knife, big enough you can see it in the video. You come at me with that, I will shoot you, and I won't go to jail, nor should I.
Actually, the guy who DID shoot him DID go to jail for that. Probably because he kept shooting him AFter he was on the ground. ALso, it wasn't a "large, big knife". It was a boy scout knife with a three inch blade, and the blade wasn't even extended when he was shot. Even the Fascist Order of Police Lawyer had to admit it was a Boy Scout Knife, and then tried to claim that "Laquan McDonald wasn't a boy scout."
By the way, the big lie here is, if you were in those situations, you would shoot those people too. You are lying if you say otherwise. Or maybe not lying, you are just utterly ignorant.
Actually, I wouldn't shoot anyone, because I haven't handled a gun since I was in the Army 30 years ago, and have no desire to ever handle one again.
Unlike you wannabe Gun nuts, who never got into the military because you were mentally unstable and wank off at the thought of shooting people.
We should change the laws, and allow officers to shoot anyone that attacks them, or resists arrest. Then people will stop resisting arrest and attacking officer. Then fewer people will die by police.
Or- we prosecute the trigger happy cops to the fullest extent of the law and just throw them in General Population when they get to jail. Then the cops will realize, "Man, I better think before I shoot, I don't want that to be me."
No, I won't. If I can prove that people warned me that someone had a gun (which someone called the police to report someone had a gun in the park), and toy looked absolutely identically to a real weapon (which it did. The orange tip at the end required to identify a toy weapon, was blacked out), I would have just cause to believe my life was in danger.
Further, if I can see it on the video, it's not small. You can easily kill someone with a 3 inch knife. Even the military blades are 4.5 inches. Not much smaller, and can certainly kill you.
Regardless, you are right that the officer went to jail, and that a grave miscarriage of justice, which is exactly why more black people have continued, and will continue to die, both from police and criminals.
Or- we prosecute the trigger happy cops to the fullest extent of the law and just throw them in General Population when they get to jail. Then the cops will realize, "Man, I better think before I shoot, I don't want that to be me."
Yeah, that's the unicorns and rainbows mythology that the left-wing has been spewing.
Instead.... read reality. Or even watch it.
The Ferguson effect is real. Police are not going to in the middle of a high tension, possibly violent interaction with criminal going to sit there and "Man, I better think before I shoot" and end up shot by the criminal because they were hesitating to fire, because some dumb left-winger thinks that's how police work happens.
Instead, they will do what they have done repeatedly in every single situation where police are attacked and jailed for doing their job.... they simply back off... and let people die.
And I don't blame them.
And as far as you throwing them in the general population... instead things are going to be much worse than that. Instead we simply won't have police.
Maybe you missed it, but there is a growing crisis in the police force right now. Not in bad cops randomly shooting people.
But instead, not having cops at all.
Police staffing shortages a nationwide trend
In Baltimore, a city referred to as the most murderous big city in the nation, there is a vacancy rate of police patrol positions of about 26%. It's one snapshot of a trend occurring at police departments nationwide. Police staffing shortages a nationwide trend (Sinclair Broadcast Group) “31...wjla.com
Baltimore where some of the first BLM protests about Freddie Grey were held in 2015....
Massive shortage of police. 26% of all patrol positions are vacant.
Why do you think the murder rate is up in Baltimore?
No, you are not going to have police thinking "Oh I better sit and ponder how to handle this violent criminal" instead more and more police are retiring, and fewer and fewer police are being hired.
It will not be long before the people of Baltimore won't have to worry about police shooting people, because there won't be any police at all.
Of course that means more black people will die, in fact more of all people will die.... but you don't care. You don't give a crap. And the really sad part is.... I don't think I care either. Let you people die. You are getting what you deserve.
Baltimore nears record homicide rate as violence surges
Victims include two young mothers shot dead over the weekend.www.cbsnews.com
But hey... you got that officer in jail. Good work.
Baltimore crime stats.
Homicides in 2014, only 211.
From 2015 to 2019.
344, 318, 343, 309, 348.
Well done. Pat yourself on the back. That's hundreds on hundreds more murders, thanks to you, and people like you. But hey... you got a cop that killed a criminal put in jail.
Well done. This is why I know for a fact that conservatives are flat out better people than left-wingers. We are just better people in every way. Your views, kill people. You are just bad awful people.
But I'm ok with it now. It used to tick me off, but eh... let em die. You guys get what you deserve.
I need your help. You love your reports and all that. So let’s help me out here. Why is it that you never mention that those cities where the Protests get started, and they all start as protests and morph into riots, all have serious problems with the Police before the Protests?
Baltimore? The DOJ report showed that pretty much everyone knew the Police were regularly acting in an unconstitutional manner, but nobody was sure how to change that. Corruption was so widespread, that even the Union Reps were saying that there needed to be changes to stop the illegal activity of the officers.
The situation in Ferguson was pretty much the same. Widespread misconduct and abuse of authority issues.
So help me out. How the hell can it be that you either do not know about this, or act like nobody else will know?
Widespread unconstitutional actions by the police are not going to make the people support the cops. It is in fact going to create an adversarial relationship between the two groups, and you Cop Lovers act like the Community is supposed to like being abused and mistreated.
Yet, when anyone talks about reforming the police, to put an end to this sort of misbehavior, hysterical cop lovers like you rush out like your assholes are on fire screaming that these reformers just hate cops. They want dead cops, they want dead citizens. They want anarchy and some sort of insane Mad Max type of cities.
Why is it that the widespread corruption and abuses, which are not rare and all that, but are in fact part of the daily activity of the cops. Those abuses mean that the people are being abused by your beloved cops, who are in fact, the criminals. So in your view, the people have to choose. Between the criminals with and without the badges. The ones with the badges have the propaganda arm of the Hollywood writers who are happy to make cops look like dedicated arms of justice. That is about the only difference.
Widespread corruption and abuses. Those are fact, not lies from the left.
Now, knowing these abuses are taking place, one of the actions that Trump took, which I disagreed with, was to shut down these investigations. Because learning the abuses of the Police is bad for someone. Or something.
Even Minneapolis, which has been the subject of reforms from the DOJ in the past, hasn’t done a damned thing to reform the beloved cops.
Because anyone who suggests reforms, or any restrictions on the cops, is totally anti cop and pro anarchy.
Remember when Obama restricted the availability of Military Surplus items of two items to the police? The outrage and fury the Cop Supporters were quick to display? Do you remember what those two items were? I do. Obama was totally anti cop, because he said they could not have Bayonets, and Grenade Launchers. That’s right. That was all it took to prove he was Anti Cop. His support of exposing the truth about the Constitutional Violations, like he had taken an oath to support and defend the Constitution or something, and restricting Bayonets, and Grenade Launchers.
Why was it that Fully Automatic Rifles, Magazines, armored Vehicles, Uniforms, Helmets, Body Armor, and a host of other things were not enough, the cops were essentially naked before the rage of the people they had abused, without Bayonets?
