Where were you when you heard the verdict?

It appears I care more about that then you or BLM

Can't fix stupid, you still don't get it.

When the verdict was delivered I was with Coco at Tea Spa in Lawrence KS.

What's the difference between a lynch mob in 1951 and 2021? Only the uniforms. Still the same democrats.

that has been my search lo these many years

to find one dimocrat who understands statistics

there would be hope for mankind should one appear

Isn't that exactly what MSNBC and CNN tell their audience 24/7? That this is only happening to Blacks at the hands of cops? If this were not true, the majority of air time would concentrate on the most deaths by any means by any person of any race but that is not what happens. Right now, the only deaths that matter are of Blacks, those at the hands of police which account for less than 20 deaths a year compared to 20 deaths on a long week-end in Chicago to name just one American city.

Too bad the RWWs and Neo-KKK types can't admit when one of their "heros" is legitimately guilty. It's that kind of refusal to admit ANY police brutality exists, even when confronted by overwhelming evidence, that gives the LWW "defund the police" nuts a voice.

We need reasonable accountability for the bad apples in the police, so the good ones (the vast majority) don't get deamonized by the ones like C, or the idiot who can't differentiate between a gun and a taser.

But we have regressed to a point the LWWs want no police, and the RWWs want a Gestapo.

First part correct second total falsehood!

Good to have a Old-T sighting. Little Monster misses you.

lol

[nevergaveitathought]

the gestapo will be the police the left needs to enforce all their rules should they completely take over

in their sweetest of dreams, local policing will go by the boards and some national force will be substituted

old-T is just trying to do the old above the fray routine with not much thought

your typical monday morning qb view as usual. unlikely you've ever been in a situation like that and thus you don't know how you'd react. you never do until after it happens. all the training in the world doesn't guarantee a person reacts correctly in a near combat situation. and that's exactly what these confrontations become.

people talk about that officer being "stupid" to instinctively pull her gun rather than the taser.

tell you what .. i'll stand 10 feet from you and throw a tennis ball at you and let's see which hand you instinctively use to catch it.

wanna bet it's your dominate hand?

Not unexpected replies to my Gestapo comment. But still erroneous replies.

When some people blindly consider any action by a policeman to be justified, regardless of the circumstances, then that really is a gestapo-like freedom to be an on the spot executioner above the law. No different than a Taliban executioner squad.

Nowhere did I say all--or even most--police shootings are unjustified. But this one certainly seemed to be grossly inexcusable. And from talking to three MN police off the record, they agree with me.

My point, as some here blow right past, is that if we as a society do not strongly condemn the cases that ARE wrong, then we as a society are feeding the LWW over reactions and riots. Che spelled it out very clearly, we see it enacted over and over again, but the "law & order" extremists never do learn. Until law and order apply to the police as well as the civilians you don't have law and order. You have the antebellum South plantations.

It is often said that the people who are most against war are the military--and I have seen plenty of that to say it is true, as it should be. What we need is a similar culture that says the people most abhorrent of a cop who severely crosses the line should be the cops who don't do that.

As to catching a tennis ball, I don't buy that at all. If a cop cannot mentally process "that's not a taser, that's a gun" in the time it takes to draw, aim, and shoot then that is a poorly trained cop. Or one who doesn't care to know the difference. Either way, a deadly force cop just waiting to happen--as sadly it did. Premeditated murder? Absolutely not. Manslaughter? Probably closer. An egregious wrong action that should NOT be accepted as "Oh well, shit happens", absolutely.

Back to the initial Gestapo comment: How much leeway do you think a cop should have? How many dead civilians, even dead suspects who pose no lethal threat, before you don't give a blanket excuse? That very much IS gestapo like.

seems you are blowing past the point. no one here .. no one .. is condoning rouge actions by cops. no reasonable person wants the gestapo. why would you even make such a silly and false statement? and just so you know, most liberals don't want to defund the police either and that includes blacks and other minorities. in fact, blacks are nearly in total agreement they want police presence.

so as usual you pick the far fringe of both left and right as the "majority" to attempt to prove a point that is pointless.

my tennis ball example is valid. you'd instinctively use your right hand, assuming like most people you are right handed. could you catch that tennis ball left handed? of course. if you were prepared and expecting it. but what would you do if you weren't?

in these situations when something unexpected happens training is essential but it does not guarantee the correct response. anyone who was ever in combat knows this. individuals react to stressful situations differently.

the real issue here is that because that officer is white and the suspect who had a warrant and tried to flee (see the pattern here?) is black they'll crucify her to satisfy a far left radical group, BLM/Antifa. these politicos actually think they can satisfy these radicals by letting them burn down some buildings. this is fucking stupid and needs to stop.
