Police Behaving Badly

[GhostofSeasonsPast]

Extreme injustice in the justice system as a whole is out of bounds in this thread? Fuck off. Also, a lot of these guys ended up on death row due to coerced confessions that were the direct result of police brutality. So, again, fuck off.



Dude, we have no idea who these guys were yet. Save that shit for when there's actual evidence of that.

Cops get murdered and your response and a bud's response is to blame the cops, and try to refocus on presumed police brutality that you don't have specific evidence of in completely unrelated cases.

What a piece of shit.

No, I said the murder of those cops was horrible and told SilverSurfer he was out of bounds for making that comment at this time. I would have posted the article about the exonerated guy regardless. Jesus, project much?

You are still speculating that they may have been dirty and just waiting for evidence. Typical response when law-abiding people are murdered in cold blood while eating is to show sympathy, grief and respect, and outrage, not to say to wait for evidence that they were dirty, but let's talk about other presumed police misconduct.

Unless you are a piece of shit who hates cops.

No, I speculated that the shooter may have had a "personal beef" with these two. Maybe they had busted him for beating on his wife and/or kids. There's a host a reasons these two could have been model officers and this guy could still have had personal reasons to want to kill them. Again, you are projecting, badly.

Let me say this in no uncertain terms: SilverSurfer's post was uncalled for at this time.

And you still qualify it, because you are sympathetic to police hate. That's ok, just don't call them when you need them. I am sure you can take care of yourself.

Silversurfer was trying to slander the name of men murdered in cold blood while they sat down and ate. That is easy to simply label as uncalled for at any time, not to simply say "let's wait and see."

This is the type of profound anti-police bias they have to deal with every day. You and SilverSurfer got to engage in some virtue signalling, though. Congrats on that.

You'll be the first to whine if the police don't come fast enough when YOU need their guns to protect your ass.

[Dantheman]

Here's an unqualified statement for you: Guns kill people. If that guy doesn't have a gun those two cops are still alive today.

Which I would be quite happy about, by the way.

You already used the left. Try mixing in a radical liberal.

Somehow it was worse that they were eating?

Sorry, I just couldn't give much less of a shit about cops getting shot.

My opinion would be different if they started to be held responsible for the innocent lives that they end.

Interesting, I am pretty sure if someone in your area took you out shooting, Trap, target, many forms of gun recreation. You would be into it It's fun.

Your perspective would change.

I've shot more than most. It's fun. Other's lives are more important.

2 Las Vegas cops were murdered, also while eating a meal, by 2 Tea Party fanatics who were hanging out at the Bundy Ranch.

By your logic, the fact that they were murdered by the Tea Party somehow means it was OK to murder the 2 cops. Amirite?

Nice smear attempt.

When those police officers were killed, there was an outpouring of grief, not some sort of sick, twisted attempt to blame the police officers.

Secondly, the Bundy Ranch people kicked those people out of the Bundy Ranch, because they thought they were unbalanced, hateful and threatening. As far as the Bundys themselves, they are pretty crazy, and I don't believe they substantively have a case as victims whatsoever.

But, even they didn't celebrate or try to slander the police officers when that tragedy and terrible act of murder happened.

It took pieces of shit on here, like Silver Surfer, to say that those cops in FL were possibly dirty.

[GhostofSeasonsPast]

By his logic, the fact they were murdered by the Tea Party somehow means anyone with views near the TP approves of, and encourages, the act. A nonsensical association fallacy.

Another nice smear attempt, in line with Silver Surfer going after the FL cops rather than grieving them.

Weren't no Tea Party murder of police officers in Vegas. The murder of the two police officers and one civilian in Vegas was roundly and rightly treated as a terrible and atrocious act. There wasn't the same sickness that we just saw on here of people trying to blame the victims.

ghast grieves po po. so touching.

As usual, you are out to lunch. Police can't for instance just use shotguns at kids throwing rocks.

You're kidding, right? Police have been shooting people a lot less threatening than kids throwing rocks. They view the SCOTUS decision as a license to shoot first and ask questions later. They don't have to be facing a legitimate threat, they only have to think they are facing a legitimate threat. In a way, poor training is a defense: "Your honor, I was so poorly trained that everyone holding a phone, driving a car, or just being black scares the shit out of me, so I shot 'em. "

Contrast the panic you hear over and over in recordings of these incidents and the calmness of the SW pilot.

Oh, and they do shoot people for throwing rocks.

I am sure that the Tea Party flag that was draped over the 2 dead cops in Las Vegas was just a coincidence ?

You really lose all credibility when you spout this stuff. The guy in that article was throwing large rocks and pieces of concrete at passing cars and police. Those things can and do kill people. But you may be too busy virtue signalling to think that through. Police are allowed to use deadly force to stop an imminent threat. That's different from shooting kids throwing small pebbles.

You want to virtue signal, while letting everyone know you're an upper middle class, even rich, doctor. Cool. Maybe actually read what you link and put that education to use.

Most police are highly professional and well disciplined. Not the best shots on average, but that's because they don't shoot a lot of people. Relative to crime rates, they don't shoot blacks more than whites. Plain numerical fact.

I actually do believe that the current tendency to ratchet use of force up only in one direction is a problem, but so do the police. Some departments are working to change this, often successfully.

I am sure I can trawl for all kinds of disturbing medical malpractice cases, and before you are too high and mighty relative to lowly police officers, tell me truthfully whether you think the formularies of the hospitals around you are all designed solely to give patients the best care, immediately, that they can get? No? And what exactly did you do about it? Come correct.

So, before you talk about police suck, handle your own profession's suck. And actually read what you link, because I bet most cops reading this thread will actually take the time to read what you didn't.

Interesting post above.

I might point out that doctors have a lot of contact with police in a medical setting where things were mostly related to violence.
