Scared Of A Stare: Ex-Deputy Eddie Duran Justified Fatally Shooting Roger Fortson Over U.S. Airman’s ‘Look Of Aggression’

[Superbadbrutha]

Sez you

But he was holding a gun when he opened the door

Where it was pointed is immaterial

The gun was a threat

No says the Farmington Police Chief Steve Hebbe. It must not be immaterial since his ass was fired.

 

[Mac-7]

Holding a damn gun pointed down at the floor.

Holding a gun

Thats a threat

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Holding a gun

Thats a threat

No, the law in Florida says you can hold a gun.

 

[Mac-7]

No, the law in Florida says you can hold a gun.

The law also says the police have a right to defend themselves

Foster may have done nothing illegal but it was very stupid and unnecessary

 

[Mac-7]

No says the Farmington Police Chief Steve Hebbe. It must not be immaterial since his ass was fired.

The same goes for the homeowner in this case

Holding a gun when confronting the police is stupid and unnecessary

 

[pknopp]

Not when the cops are at your front door

Yes you are. The 2nd was created so people could protect themselves from the government.

There are cases where the homeowner called the cops about a prowler

He met them in his front yard with a gun in his hand and they shot him

And you support the cops killing people while protecting themselves and their property.

 

[Mac-7]

Yes you are. The 2nd was created so people could protect themselves from the government.

The Constitution does not guarantee that you will live through the experience

If its a “come and take it” moment during the Texas Revolution sign me up

On the other hand if its a hardworking policeman who is just doing a dangerous job I dont want to be a fool and get myself killed over nothing

But its a free country and if libs want to die its no skin off my nose

 

[pknopp]

The Constitution does not guarantee that you will live through the experience

Of course not but when the government violates your rights there are repercussions.

If its a “come and take it” moment during the Texas Revolution sign me up

But if its a hardworking policeman who is just doing a dangerous job I dont want to be a fool and get myself killed over nothing

But its a free country and if libs want to die its no skin off my nose

You support the government violating people's rights and pretend to be a small government guy.

You are not. You are an authoritarian that simply wants your form of authoritarianism in power.

 

[Jarlaxle]

You keep saying that bit you know ors a lie. Why do you hate the second amendment so much?

He's a copsucker.

 

[Lord-Humungus]

The law also says the police have a right to defend themselves

Foster may have done nothing illegal but it was very stupid and unnecessary

Yes the cop shooting him was very stupid and unnecessary. Now bring the cop up on charges for his actions and let there be justice

 

[Mac-7]

Yes the cop shooting him was very stupid and unnecessary. Now bring the cop up on charges for his actions and let there be justice

The cop is in deep doodoo

But he is alive and the airman is dead

It could have been the other way around

 

[Lord-Humungus]

The cop is in deep doodoo

But he is alive and the airman is dead

It could have been the other way around

Or if the cop was better trained and respected the constitution they both would be alive. The cop deserves to be in jail for his actions. Contrary to what you think the police can not just execute individuals whenever they want for whatever reason they want

If the cops are not allowed to defend themselves from citizens holding guns then you better start recruiting social workers

Because the cops are going to become fewer and fewer

 

[Lord-Humungus]

A few less cops killing innocent civilians for exercising their rights would be a good thing. Holding a gun is not a crime, there is no reason a cop should execute a citizen for exercising their constitutional right. If you think they should you are one sick fuck who hates the freedoms we have.

 

[Leo123]

True that. It's his right no difference.

Except he’s dead.

Yeah, the criminals are looking forward to that

 

[Lord-Humungus]

Yeah, the criminals are looking forward to that

The cops like the one in this story are the criminals

 

[Mac-7]

The cops like the one in this story are the criminals

You are repeating yourself

 

[Leo123]

The cops like the one in this story are the criminals

The cops like the one in this story are still alive too.

 

[pknopp]

Except he’s dead.

Murders occur daily unfortunately.
