As far as the kid goes, when I watched the football coach slap the shit of a kid in the 8th grade, should I have intervened? At that time the kid deserved it and learned a valuable lesson. Have you been in a school in the last 20yrs? The lack of respect and discipline is appalling, but by today's standards this is unacceptable behavior and I wouldn't have tolerated it. I'm not sure where you live, but in California I could go to jail for watching an 8th grader get beat and not intervening or calling the police. I'm beyond words that you think it's acceptable to watch a child get beat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycop 0 #380 September 16, 2016 Sadly this isn't the Onion, it's Slate.com. I've linked this this piece of "journalism" regarding the recent shooting in Columbus Ohio. This is simply incendiary, by any objective standard. This isn't an op-ed, it's a "news" story. I realize Slate is a left leaning outlet, but this goes well beyond reporting. http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/09/15/tyree_king_13_killed_by_police_in_columbus_ohio.html The last three paragraphs are incredible, they sum up what I've been talking about. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really believe that the benefit of the doubt needs to go to police, like in the case your referring to. I think when BLM screams foul on every shooting, even though it appears it was justified for police to shoot, they loose credibility. OTOH, there are many shootings, beatings, and intimidation where there is no excuse. What really pisses me off is when 6-7 cops will watch a single cop beat someone senseless. When I see so many cops not willing to intervene, and then write untruthful reports, I just shake my head. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycop 0 #383 September 16, 2016 MMMMkkkkkkkkkkk...... Had he just robbed someone, then ran from the cops, then pointed a realistic facsimile pistol (or rifle) at them, I can virtually guarantee the outcome would be the same. Apples meet Oranges.............again.......... "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, I rank that at the same level as Breitbart reporting and the myriad of internet "journalism" sites that are really nothing but. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
