Sure. Everyone lies when they get into trouble. Sure seems like the cops here shoot an awful lot of "unarmed" people who weren't doing anything according to witnesses though. Oh gun was found? well all cops carry that plant piece just like the movies!!.

What about the victim trying to get your gun from you, then when he fails tries to run away? Just let him go? Im sure if he succeeded in getting it he was just going to throw it and run the other way.

Quote of the fucking century

The gun allows an otherwise good cop to make one incorrect decision with terrible consequences. I think that is the point of most officers in Ireland being unarmed. It sounds like they bring in some backup who can then make a decision if a gun is involved.

The cab driver was saying the biggest problem is that many areas get overrun with well armed drug gangs and the normal cops are powerless to stop them but it sounds like they bring in some more advanced units which at least puts some control in.

Are you talking like a Cop having someone take their gun?

Thats what allegedly happened in St Louis.

Brogue, stop and take a deep breath.

The Chicago PD put 13 innocent men on death row. 1 of which came within 10 days of being executed.

Let that roll around in your brain for a while.

IF you believe that to be true then the response should be to arrest him and not execute him. If he shot the kid while he was allegedly trying to take his weapon inside the squad car no reasonable person would complain. Fact is the kid was gunned down and left for dead 35 feet from the car.

Ok, are you saying shoot the unarmed kid because he would shoot you if he could?


That is a pretty crazy way to go about policing, Id think

I don't believe that any department is allowed to shoot a fleeing suspect that is unarmed.

If people were emotionless robots that would work. Someone just tried to take your gun from you to ostensibly shoot and kill you with it, fails and starts running away. Adrenaline , heat of the moment, whatever you want to call it kicks in. I can easily see how that results in the guy running away gets shot. Now you can argue that police are supposed to be trained to show restraint , etc but nobody knows how they'll react when that situation occurs. I related a story a few weeks back about being help up at gunpoint while delivering pizzas back in the by by 3 dudes. After I gave them my money one of them said lets shoot this motherfucker anyway. Turned out they punched me in the back as they ran away. You bet your sweet ass that had I a gun and the chance to do so, I would've chased them down and executed every one of them even as they were running away. Now maybe Id be sitting my ass in jail to this day because of it , who knows. I do know I was scared and and furious at the same time. As to your other point about Death Row, Im willing to wager that for every one of them, there are several more OJ Simpson, Drew Petersen's ( whom they had to change the law in order to convict) who get away with murder because of technicalities and fuck ups than are ever executed innocently. That's our justice system.

In that case, there is no holding cops accountable for anything.

A couple of things.

Are you raising your hand to give up your life for OJ or Drew Peterson?

Upon reflection, would you still try and kill the three people that robbed you?

If your relative or friend was unjustly put on Death Row, would you still consider trusting the police?

Now I understand why badrogue17 thinks the way he does. His experience validates the narrative the media pushes. When I was 10 or 11 I had a white cop try to plant drugs on me and then told me to say thank you for him letting me go. At that time I had never seen drugs beyond the after school specials. The thought of it still bothers me. Fortunately I have had many more positive experiences with white people. I even consider one who is white and Republican to be like a father. I didn't take you as a person that would hold an bad experience against an entire group of people. You looked like you were happy to see me when I met you.

If thats what you think , have at it. You're right , secretly , my skin was crawling being in the same room as you. I'll just continue to let the media inform my opinions like the sheep that I am. Good talk.

That's what it sounds like to me TODAY. Maybe I am reading you wrong but it sounds like that experience has a major influence on your thoughts. I apologize if I am wrong.

This one time in Jr. High we were playing touch football and I was going up for a pass and this Mexican kid nudged me a little too hard before the ball got to me. Was clear pass interference but he was like "nuh uh". I've hated Mexicans ever since.

I have had many positive experiences with black people who were not members of CSFMB.

It is better that 10 guilty men go free than 1 innocent man be unjustly put to death. They are NOT equivalent.
