Whether you like cops or not that is not murder. Would it be murder if it was a police officer with gang member guns trained on him, who then made a move perceived as threatening and got shot? You bet it would. Prosecuted, signed, sealed, delivered to jail. Most people wouldn't ask any questions (at least most people who are white and middle class). Cops get a pass on shooting people unnecessarily. The "fog of war," needing to make a "split second decision," "warrior" training, etc., etc. Not sure what the threat is when it's a kid who's unarmed, 50 feet away and facing away from the cop. Or when it's a black guy seated in his car who lawfully informs the officer that he has a conceal and carry permit and is armed, but is shot multiple times within 30 seconds of that (with the victim's wife and child in the car). Or when a woman calls the police about a neighborhood disturbance that sounds like a person being harmed and is shot and killed when she approaches the police car that responded to her call. Or when it's a cop who tells his partner he's going to shoot and kill the guy as they drive up in their cruiser, caught on the dash cam, and then does so *and* plants a gun to implicate the victim as the cause of the shooting. I guess those are acceptable losses in an increasingly totalitarian America. |

Well, sheet, Timmie, if people have a constitutional right to own guns, and all your cops are armed, sure as hell someone will get shot, even before you account for all the racial tensions the Democrats are stirring up with their descent into identitarian politics. I grew up with unarmed cops who would clip a teenage wrongdoer in the ear rather than arrest him, and we respected the law and its agents. Andre Jute You can't have it both ways |

What is plain is that you presently and probably for your entire life have lived in some sort of lily white neighborhood, have never lived with minorities and consider them akin to people from another planet with different morals, ethics and an entire civilization separate from yours. Did you just run and an prove your racial bona fides by going to see "Harriet" which was melodramatized to the point of having not the slightest detail anywhere close to detail? |

I guess those are acceptable losses in an increasingly totalitarian America. Well, of course, the answer is to disarm the police. No. It might work in London (are bobbies still unarmed?) but America is one of the most violent societies on the planet, except for those engaged in actual war. Disarming seems unwise and too "one size fits all." Better training including resources to understand and cope with problems like mental illness in the community they serve would be a better choice. Learn to ask questions before shooting. In our area there are social workers paired with police officers for calls where the suspect is known to be or is thought likely to be mentally ill. This seems to have reduced these incidents, although it's early days and whether or not the program works and is sustainable is yet to be seen, but it's promising. |
