Police Behaving Badly

[My Pet Powder Goat]

Oh ya, duh, first person shooters...

I'd bet they had one guy on ground causing chaos and one guy providing cover from perch. Picking off cops rushing in as well.

This will be a turning point in the war on American citizens being waged by police across the country.

Time to wake up! You will not be allowed to continue to assassinate innocents, without repercussions.

Police tactics must change or this will get worse, much worse.

Also, isn't this pretty much the whole point if 2nd amendment? Protect against tyrannical government

Just whom exactly did the Transit cops tyrannize? The subway riders?

It's cute that you think the cops will take this as a lesson to be less aggressive.

I bet the guy on ground, who they say rolled that tahoe, is the guy holed up

I'm guessing MPPG's assertion that it's a 50/50 bet that it's a white guy trying to start a race war is about as accurate as his assumption early on that the Boston Bombing was a white guy. Come on man, you seem to be a decent guy, but you're batting .000 on these incidents.

Hey man, I'm just spitballing here....besides how many people of color do you know that go to watch a marathon? It seemed like a slam dunk deduction.

All off the tribe in Kenya since they always win?

I hear ya, I do. It just seems a bit early to be placing odds on white guys starting a race war by shooting 11 police officers. As to a marathon and black guys, I live in a city with way more black people than white people and they all came out to the Peachtree Road Race last weekend. No incidents. I've said it before and I'll say it again: being a carpetbagging northerner in the south I see way more racial harmony in major metro areas down here than I ever did up north. Not that that matters at all now, nor is relevant to what's going on in Dallas right now

Ah, notice I said spectators, not participants.

[abraham]

They must have family who watches to support them

Oh cmon, it's a little harmless guessing game.
It's not like I'm calling for a ban on assault rifles and large capacity magz or anything.

Fair is fair. Maybe I was reading too much of your post in a polyass tone.

Please. The LE lobby has a different set of rights for police. Blue wall of silence. There is no difference. Cruiser + belt = card carrying member of the police lobby. They need to change, and they are being obstinate in far too many localities. SLC not one of them imo, though there have been some questionable conduct in shooting incidents.

If the police involved in the other shootings were targeted I'd crack a beer. This is very dangerous stuff though, this is reflexive and geographically random terrorism. Self inflicted. How many times do we chide Iraqis for not being able to foster a culture of peace, and here we are.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone claim we have a culture of peace

absolutely unrelated, but are you coming up to bobby's place this summer and going to the garage in Bellevue? I live there and can give you a ride wherever if I'm in town

[Ski to Be]

I just got around to watching the ESPN OJ tonight and it really hit me how little has changed in American race relations in 30 years even with a 2 term black president.I feel bad for both black people and the vast majority of decent law enforcement.

[Bromontana]

Hard to say, going to va in late august. Planning to make time i winter but have a lot of trips this summer for climbing. Appreciate the offer. I'll be back there, just need to plan a bit more time.

Re: peaceful, I guess that's debateable. Kind of a belief vs. relative comparison in stats. I've rarely felt as though my community isn't safe, if that gives context.

[Cono Este]

Why? Why? oh Why?

Because you were carrying an assault weapon you dumbshit.

We are so screwed.

The Boston Bombers were white guys.

Take your polyass act there Harry. You know exactly what I'm referencing that MPPG was dead set that Boston was a Timothy McVeigh type white terrorist. If you've been reading we've moved past that but thanks for slowing us down.

Not sure how you get that someone from the Caucus Mountains is not a Caucasian, but whatever....

Also, isn't this pretty much the whole point if 2nd amendment? Protect against tyrannical government

By massacring random police officers and peaceful protesters and claiming to have placed IEDs???

No you sick fuck. This is the Boston Massacre, not Lexington.

[My Pet Powder Goat]

Isn't this thread in polyasshat? Did they finally move it back to PR? I usually use the "new post" button

[Tippster]

Wow - the cops blew up (one of?) the gunmen with a bomb. Damn.

[HankScorpio]

I'm not sure if I'm just paying better attention but this this country is crumbling and its becoming obvious. I fear for the world my kid has to live in the future.

Damn is right. I guess its within the rulebook, but thats a first I think.
