jcd11235 0 #776 October 9, 2014 AnvilbrotherDoes a person have to be armed to be shot by a cop? If a cop cannot resolve a situation with an unarmed person without escalating the situation to the level of deadly force, he has no business in that profession.Math tutoring available.

jcd11235 0 #777 October 9, 2014 AnvilbrotherI'll throw this one on you, this guy wasn't armed. Those are the exceptions, and should not be treated as the rule. If someone is not willing to take such risks, they have no business in law enforcement. Law enforcement's greatest weapon is public trust. Nothing undermines that trust like shooting unarmed persons.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anvilbrother 0 #778 October 9, 2014 I did not follow that situation too much but from what I gather he was illegally running hundreds of head of cattle on federal land without permission, or paying for it, and threatened violence if he was not allowed to keep them there without payment. If so then yes. The bigger point, is why should the federal government charge anyone 1 MILLION dollars (since 1992) to let some cows graze on publicly owned land. Were not talking central park or your local neighborhood playground land. Im talking a combined 700 MILLION ACRES of land the BLM owns....We own......Thats what I have an issue with.

I bet you would say that about every situation I could bring up here... QuoteIf a cop cannot resolve a situation with an unarmed person without escalating the situation to the level of deadly force, he has no business in that profession. What should the female officer have done then? Polity asked the guy on PCP who ambushed them in a bedroom not to charge her and striker her until she was unconscious, take her gun and kill her, then once she was dead should the other officer polity ask him not to grab a tire iron and start beating him in the corner until he was almost unconscious? Should they have not went to the call of a home burglary? Should they surround every house where the threat of physical confrontation exists with a dozen cops, and then call out a negotiator to avoid possibly having to shoot someone that ambushes you physically? Your bat shit crazy if you think there is no situation where an unarmed person might not be able to be stopped without a firearm. Your also bat shit crazy crazy if you think at a person is not fit for the profession if they cant do that exact thing. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

jcd11235 0 #786 October 9, 2014 AnvilbrotherSo you think that its the cops fault for not protecting her gun? That was one of her responsibilities. She failed, and she lost her life because of that failure. AnvilbrotherI bet you are one of the guys that thinks its ok to sue someone because they hurt themselves on your property while trespassing. Laws dictate who is liable for damages. Whether property owners (typically via their insurance policy) are liable for damages when someone is injured on their property depends on how that person is injured and how that person came to be on their property. Property owners are least liable for injuries suffered by trespassers. But that doesn't mean there is no property owner liability, ever, just because to injury occurred while trespassing. If a property owner might be liable for injuries sustained by a trespasser, then, yes, a lawsuit is a perfectly valid way of legally determining liability and collecting any owed compensation for those damages. I infer from your question that you are opposed to such civil resolution of disputes.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

SkyDekker 1,465 #792 October 9, 2014 QuoteSounds a lot like "she shouldn't have dressed so provocatively" Getting so tired of this argument. There are multiple sides. One: No dressing provocatively does not mean she had it coming. Two: when discussing how to try and prevent getting raped, that can certainly be part of the discussion. If I decide to take a leasurely stroll throug the worst part of a city, while counting $20 bills. I don't deserve to be robbed. But, if I am trying not to get robbed, it probably isn't the smartest thing to do. If a girl acts like she is horny and wants to fuck, she doesn't deserve to be raped. However, if she is trying to avoid getting raped, it is behaviour she should try and avoid as well. So, no she didn't deserve to be shot. However, doing a better job of protecting her firearm would have likely helped her. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyDekker 1,465 #800 October 10, 2014 Destroying their town? What you call candle light vigil, that article describes as demonstrations. Including pictures of signs that read "hands up, don't shoot", directly taken from the Ferguson incident. I read those two incidents and think there is a huge racially charged issue in the US. You appear to be reading it as white people reacting better than black people. You might be part of the problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
