RIP Terence Crutcher

[DMC]

Fundamental issue in many of these incidents is that the officer is scared less and out of their comfort zone. They are ok as long as they can sit in their car, write tickets, eat donuts, pose for pics with riot gear and kevlar like they are spec ops, but let one big black man not comply just once, they draw their sidearm and like idiots, the partner draws a tazer. Now the tazer user has less inclination to put up with anything, so he can let loose on that tazer for what the ever and that's that, but GI Jane has a service weapon out and she hears the discharge of the tazer and she squeezes rounds off herself, because well, it's going down... twitch twitch twitch... red screen of fear over her eyes... pow pow pow... scream on mic "shots fired", no . Don't carry a tazer if your first inclination on an unarmed individual is to draw your sidearm.

he deserved to die because he dropped his arms

so much stupidity in this kind of comments

I've been put in a situation where 3 cops in Brazil pointed their gun at me because I crossed a control area with my headslamps on... (I did not know I was supposed to turn them off in this situation). Well I did not my pants but it was close, the stress made me acting nervous even though I was perfectly clear. I've seen a very good friend of mine panicking in a custom line to enter in the US, after having been disoriented by a serie of unusual questions, he started to become nervous and act nervous. For that he spent a couple of hours answering questions in a custom office. You never know how people react at stressful event.

Cops are ing trained and this is their job to keep their ing cool, regular people are not trained for this and some will panick and start to act nervous... this does not deserve to be shot.

Some cops in US are ing cowboys arrogant pricks using their little power on others to compensate for their small s.

lol

Brazil is a bastion for balanced and judicious police force activities.

The favelas are safe places because of it.

It would be pretty easy to create a robot or scanner that could quickly identify a gun.

you understood nothing about FDWT post... this has nothing to do with stuff written long time ago

Wrong as usual.

When was that second amendment written originally? Yes I know about the changes but that wasn't my point. Without the ORIGINAL writing where would we have been all these years? Now think, ok?

Tulsa police officer charged with manslaughter

"Attorneys for Crutcher's family said they were "happy charges have been brought" against the officer and they will be seeking a "vigorous prosecution" of this case that results in a confection. "

I hope for one too

Looks like officer Betty Shelby will be convicted, if the report in the link is correct.

The chief investigator said in an affidavit that Shelby then approached the car, "cleared the driver's side front and then proceeded towards the passenger side of the vehicle." Then she saw Crutcher and talked to him.

.....


Crutcher family attorney Melvin Hall said the affidavit shows that Shelby had cleared the car of any threats before she tried to talk to Crutcher.
"Why when he approached the vehicle later would she have any concern," he said.

I read there was PCP found in the vehicle someplace else. No it begs the question, did Shelby plant it on him and kill him with intent?

I think you better do what he says, Mr. Kinney.

Don't play that guy, ok? Nothing written that long ago should be effecting our lives today, ya really don't get that?

I'll take it then that you think the Bible is , too.

2 wrongs don't make a right...

You're proof of that.

[Avante]

Absolutely and the Koran, just another form of mythhogy that for some reason gets treated differently.

Yes there is something responsible all this but it's not the God/Allah we see in these man made books. It's no different than Odin, Oisis etc.

I'd just as soon buy aliens gave us a visit as I would....BIG BANG~~~~~~~

[RD2191]

You're proof of that.

Indeed, me and your mother were both wrong.

Just wrong for each other Rob.

Only if you don't know what begging the question means.
