Blacks going wild rioting and looting again.
They do it quite often, don't they?
Well, you shut down all of their peaceful options of protest - like taking a knee. If you take away all other options, violence is the only thing left.
Not one police office has been jailed for murdering unarmed black people. Every victim is "thuggified" and blamed for their "failure to comply". This man complied and they killed him anyway, as he begged for his life. The only cop who has been jailed for killing an innocent civilian is the black police office who shot the white yoga instructor in her pajamas.
That's shameful.
I am really pissed at the filthy government for excessive taxation, creating a welfare state, oppressive regulations and the oppression of taking away my Constitutional rights, especially infringing upon my right to keep and bear arms. This government is out of control.
So I am morally justified to go loot and then burn down a Target just to show the assholes how pissed I am?
I could use another big screen TV and some expensive Nike shoes so thanks for the support.
That's what the founders did on a Pier in Boston in 1773.
Thats not what these rioters, looters, thieves, pillagers are doing.
If you say so. Keep ignoring our unjust justice system and people will continue working to tear it all down.
You're not gonna get justice burning down meaningless incoming pea sized objects while the main event comes in from the south. Do you comprehend the picture?
We have made small strides. While far too many police officers still get away with undefendable actions some are finally getting held accountable.
Without the previous violence that would not be the case.
I agree with you there. They've been abusing their power with the lockdown and now this. They need to be held accountable but violence isn't the answer.
Nothing else works. The Founders understood this.
No, these rioters, thieves, criminals are stupid. They're not even fighting. They're just destroying stuff. This isn't some physical rah rah rah battle. It won't work. The founders actually were proving a point. What these looters are doing would be akin to the founders running off to their village and burning it down.
The corporate stores are no different than the King's ships carrying the tea.
People bitched when players peaceably kneeled. Trump called for them to be fired. Blacks continue to be killed unjustly by the police.
The violence will get worse until we seriously address the issue.
Can you name me one large group of people that doesn't have bad apples, just one?
Bad apples isn't the issue. It's bad apples that aren't held accountable that is the problem.
What makes you think this officer is not going to be held accountable?
Wasn't the point but you know that.
No, I don't know that. You said we have to do something to stop things like this. My question is how? How do you guarantee this won't happen again? Like I said, there are bad apples in any large group of people. Police departments get bad cops once in a while, the fire department gets bad firemen once in a while, a machine shop gets a bad drill press operator once in a while, a transportation company gets bad drivers once in a while. Nobody can guarantee perfection of all employees in any industry.
I know what people have to do to get on a police force. You have to be pretty intelligent. In some cases you have to have a college degree. You are investigated right down to when you were a child. You can't even have a misdemeanor on your record. You have to take a psychological exam. And with all that, you're still going to get bad cops from time to time. When they do what this guy did, you then proceed to investigation and prosecution. That's all you can do.
Timothy Loehman was hired by Cleveland despite the fact he was determined to be mentally incompetent to be a police officer. Even after all the info came out about his lying, he was still hired again by another police force.
He was never determined mentally incompetent. He worked at a nearby suburb of ours and had squabbles with one of the supervisors there. He was also found not guilty of murder or any aspect of murder. The entire incident was video recorded.
They got a call about a person waiving a gun around and pointing it at passing cars, in a park renown for drug deals and violence. When they arrived, as soon as they got out of the car, the kid was pulling out an exact replica of a gun out of his pants. The officer shot first in self-defense.
Cleveland officer who killed Tamir Rice had been deemed unfit for duty
The rookie Cleveland police officer who fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice last month had been deemed unfit for duty at a previous police department and was in the process of being fired when he resigned from his post, according to records released Wednesday.www.latimes.com
Doesn't change the fact, that he had a gun, where the tip was blacked out, making it look identical to a real weapons. An officer faced with what appears to be a real gun, is going to react to it.
Don't black out the tip of the gun. In fact, don't buy guns that look real. Fisherprice needs to be on the side of it, in neon letters.
You didn't address my point.
