A PERSON WITH A KNIFE IS JUST AS DEADLY AS A PERSON WITH A GUN.
Police are trained to shoot these people as they can travel 21 feet in the time it takes to draw and fire your weapon. IF you want to die, you can play nice but that blade is just as deadly as a bullet.
Damn straight.
Cops have families to get home to after a shift at work, just like everyone else does.
I respect that.
Do you "respect that" enough to denounce the Riots and the rioters?
Biden and Kamal Toe don't
Don't start that 'say uncle' shit with me.
Thanks for illustrating just how shallow your level of "respect" really is.
Mile wide and only an inch deep.
Let's try refocusing on the topic.
It's a complicated one.
Its not complicated at all... Follow the commands police give you.... Its actually really simple...
Billy, if it were that simple, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Everyone would behave like a compliant, reasonable person at all times. But they don't, so how to handle it. You say, shoot 'em. BLM says not so fast.
No, BLM says “Dey dindu nuffins!!” Despite clear evidence to the contrary. You commit a crime, the cops show up, and you decide to fight them AND pull a knife or gun... how do you think that is going to go down? But BLM and the rest of the hood rats seem to think hey can do whatever they want, and the cops can’t touch them. And when they act like fools and get themselves shot, they then riot and pretend like some innocent toddler was brutalized by vicious cops.
This is the result of stupid, irresponsible people with a constant victim and entitlement mentality combined with politicians pandering to them and excusing and validating their behavior.
And you mentioned earlier that the cops having guns and someone else with a knife is an “uneven match”. It’s not a boxing match. It’s not supposed to be an even match, or a contest. It’s not “ok sir, you’ve committed violent crime and Now have a knife. Allow me to get my knife, and let the best man win”.
How do you think like this?
You're just going to ignore everything else I said, aren't you? Is there another way to address this? Do you WANT it to continue? Because when you keep doing the same things, you can expect the same results.
I didn’t see the rest of what you posted after.
Yes, I think you are genuine in wanting to find solutions. I will say that while we disagree, I think you are thoughtfully engaging in this topic and truly want to find solutions. I don’t think you blame the police.
I think our opinions diverge is what needs to change. I don’t think it’s the cops who need to change. If you get called to a scene of some but weilding a knife and threatening people, and he doesn’t stop and threatens eiolenand the cops, he gets shot. That’s the reality. That isn’t going to change until we have Star Trek like phasers that hit people and knock them unconscious.
What needs to change is the black “community” acting like absolute animals, committing large amounts of
Violent crime, and then fighting with police.
And thinking that every time a Black person is shot is riot time, that needs to stop. What needs to happen is politicians and the media need to stop telling these people they are victims and justified to act like animals. They also need to be stomped out when they riot or loot. They need to be put down fast and hard. Yes this will cause a short rise in violence and conflict. But when they see that they are not going to be allowed to loot at their pleasure, they will get the message.
