Q:Have I ever been victomized by the cops
A: Yes. We got a 4 day weekend pass from Airborne Training (early 80's). My best friend since day one of Infantry bootcamp and I went back to his hometown in Mississippi for the weekend to visit his Aunt and Uncle. We got into a bar fight over pool game that we bet a pitcher over. We won. The guys didn't like that. Things were said. My best friend since boot camp said it was best to just leave. We tried. Next thing I know I'm getting the shit kicked out of me back at the station because I stomped some guys ass that wasn't the same color as my best friend. I was getting the "stick to your own kind boy" ass beating.
Sure there have been some bad cops out there. Just like anywhere else there are some bad people in each group. But we need law and order. So tell me something Dex. And I'm wondering this from you.
Q: Do you think it is only the white cops that are bad?
I would have tried to pick some wildflowers and somehow made a trade for the cop-killers gun -- you have to know how to be a resourceful hippie! I mean how can you shoot someone like that without trying everything possible? The person who shot the cop-killer was the real bad seed here![]()
Title lame. Crazy story. Crazy thread. Guns suck. Skiing's cool.
As far as I can tell from the article, the long history involved Kenney resisting arrest and getting in physical altercations when he was being apprehended. Not some anger over a girlfriend or bowling or whatever.
The cop was also shot in the back, after he chased the drunk driver for a mile and a half. He pepper sprayed the driver and passenger, turned around, and was shot.
And everybody is pissed at the cop and the other guy? Nobody knows how old the kid was, but according to the article he phoned police while the passerby confronted Kenney. So, apparently he isn't like 3 years old, apparently he can give a reasoned explanation of a volatile situation to police dispatch. If the passer by saw Kenney shoot the cop in the back and then drive over him, I think it would be a reasonable assessment that this guy is a danger to society. If he is still holding the gun he used to shoot the cop in the back, and refuses to put it down, I would consider that aggressive behavior and feel the need to defend myself.
CPS? Are you kidding? Let's take this guys kid away, great idea.![]()
I definately don't think all cops are super duper. But you folks in the anti cop crowd should pick your battles a little better. This one seems to be a hard sell to prove that cops suck.
And wtf is with the thread title. Has that douche even chimed in since?
Gee what a surprise. The usual douchebags screaming "fuck tha police". Of course, these are the same naive, clueless losers who want all guns outlawed so that if some violent fuck breaks into your house and goes after your wife you have to depend on (you guessed it) tha police to save your ass. Nice little fantasy land you all live in.
Yeah, you're going to go to war with the guys with your home arsenal, which of course keeps you 'safe'. Some fantasy world you're in.
Typical moron douchebag post, Jer's up to form.

Trackhead made a valuation of a human being's worth based on that person's choices and the actions that followed those choices. You say you are sickened by that and attempt to liken TH to a well known historical event where valuations were made of people based on their race. These two different type of valuations are not even remotely similar. One is poison to a society, the other is necessary for a society to function.
You are either unable to see the difference between these two types of valuations or you view all valuations with disdain.
So, no. I am not supporting your argument. I am stating that it is flawed and misguided, and am disagreeing with it in the strongest terms.
Yeah, when we fought the Germans with our "home arsenal", that was dumb too.
Aren't you the same anti-gun, anti-war-in-Iraq douchebag that cried about the thousands of people murdered in the trade towers???
Here you go dumbfuck. We're fighting them there......or have you forgotten?

Facts:
Cops do a job that most of us do not want to do
People that shoot cops are almost always bad
Most, but not all, cops are good people
People that try to help other injured people are good
People that defend themselves, their family members, and their community against an obvious danger are good
Sorry to be simplistic, but by my count 2 out of 5 of the people that were involved are dead. The other 3 will tell their stories in time, and until them you need to look at the available facts- a cop got killed and a cop killer is also dead.

wow, lots of speculation going on again.
it's definitely summertime on TGR.
Balls Deep in the 'Ho
From what I'm comprehending, the German police are still much worse than their American counterparts:

To fault the man that shoots a cop killer after asking him to drop his weapon reduces my faith in humanity.
Let's defend a man who just shot a cop in the back and killed him.
I doubt the passerby wanted to be in that situation and kudos to him for dealing with it in what I consider to be the most prudent way. It's got to be scary making the decision to step into that sort of situation, especially with your child in the vehicle. I'd hope 99% of people agree he did the right thing, and with any luck the other 1% exists only in online forums to play devil's advocate.
My two cents anyway.
Since I've been gone since Saturday, went on a little bc trip in GNP, but that's another story, I thought I'd come back and defend myself since I took a lot of flack for the title.
All I was trying to say, is that Bode and his cousin both have an obvious problem with authority and both have an outlaw persona.
If you guys hadn't obliterated your memories, you might recall that I have been a huge Bode supporter, even in his worst moments.
I've said things here like, "Bode is my hero," and "Bode, American badass rebel motherphucker," I think that is verbatim.
When he won at Beaver Creek this year in the whiteout storm conditions on BOP I was here cheering the loudest. Guess what, I have always had a problem with authority myself, and I too get in trouble with alcohol in slopeside bars and I have been known to put my foot in my mouth.
I really don't see how the title is controversial at all. I think the cop and Bode's cousin simply brought out the worst in eachother.
You like Bode. So do I.
There is a difference between having an independent spirit and being a murderer.
What everyone is saying is: Don't compare Bode to this scumbag.

And I'll leave you with some brilliance from Winston Churchill: "Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains.

Show me someone who brainlessly quotes Winston Churchill and I'll show you someone brainless. You and Jer can stay in the moron boat figuring out a way to eliminate all Muslims and prevail in Iraq. Good luck with that.

I guess you'll just figure out a way to hide your head in the sand and hope the problem goes away without doing anything? At least us morons have an idea how to proceed. It may not be perfect but at least we support trying something. Those who whine don't seem to have any ideas -- they just complain without adding anything useful to the table of options.
