I see this isn't racially charged so it ends up on the 2nd page and gets no love. Thanks, Sherfront
What kind of fucked up police training would tell them to pull out a baton or pepper spray if they think someone is about to shoot at them? Do you think shooting someone in the leg somehow prevents them from pointing a gun back at you and shooting? Or maybe they should shoot the gun out of suspects' hands or pull a crazy gun snatching move and disassemble it in 1 second. I'm sure your grandmother is a real badass with her cane, but I'd advise against her using it if she thinks someone is going to shoot her.I did not catch the third city from the article. As I've said before, police officers are not totally innocent either. They have mace, a baton, a taser, other police officers, and a gun. They choose the last resort first, and to kill, not wound. My grandmother could take a good number of these individuals down with her cane, but the police choose to shoot them.
Its hard to judge. America is far more violent country than any other first world country. There are far more guns in the country and Americans in general are far less compassionate people when it comes to toehr peoples lives. So its combination of several things that makes killings much more common in America and Americans having much easier to take lives than other first world peopleSeriously though does this happen in any first world countries not named America?
I'd shoot first ask questions later too, you fuckers be crazy.
Have you ever tried choking down a cold coffee in the middle of the night? Disgusting.A lot of these guys 'think' they are tough because they have a big mouth. Most are drunk and can't even walk. If there is no gun involved she can take them down. A good kick to the groin would solve the problem. But the police are too lazy and prefer to shoot them before the coffee gets cold.

I feel like what's happening here is a lapse in threat assessment due to the media and public crucifying police officers for using deadly force. Their job is to serve and protect, and they can do neither if they're dead.
Follow procedure and you'll be fine, regardless of who sits for the national anthem.
Drug crimes are violent by association. Also they do serve warrants for violent crimes.Their job is to serve and protect. Protect being the keyword there. They're also supposed to be following the Constitution right? So when they gun down a citizen without positive identification of lethal intent just because they think he has a firearm on him, then they aren't exactly doing their job are they?
You want to know what comes with protecting and serving? Risk. You agree to put yourself in harm's way. Do you think I wanted to walk down streets in Iraq where they were planting IEDs on a damn near daily basis? No. But I did it. Do police want to take extra risk to ensure they are protecting the citizens? No, but they should do it too or go work in a fucking supermarket or McDonald's.
I respect police. It's a valuable service to the community and they deal with the worst in society. I just think police aggression has gotten too high in this country. They need a refocus on actually serving the community needs and de-escalation over escalation. I'm happy for any officer that does his job to the best of his ability with those things in mind. Too many aren't, and nobody is doing anything about it until the city goes nuts.
The vast majority of SWAT forced entry police search warrants are over nonviolent drug crimes. And how many robberies, murders, fraud, and rapes are going unsolved in areas doing that?
Drug crimes are violent by association. Also they do serve warrants for violent crimes.
As far as Iraq goes, not sure where the parallel is because the US isn't a war zone, but I'll entertain the notion. You were probably better trained and equipped than most American police, and on an individual basis, probably more intelligent too. You also probably got more respect from Iraqi citizens than American police get in their own country.
my point exactlyI can drink a coffee that is intended to be cold. I can't drink one that was served hot and neglected.
8 years of Obama identity politics have brought us here. This country was really making some headway in terms of racial (and sexual) equality and harmony. IMO we're at the worst point we've been since the 60s. Maybe we've even become as bad in the past few weeks.
you don't shoot to wound, especially at an armed suspect. you only see that shit in John Woo's movies. You ever fire a gun before?I did not catch the third city from the article. As I've said before, police officers are not totally innocent either. They have mace, a baton, a taser, other police officers, and a gun. They choose the last resort first, and to kill, not wound.

Seriously though does this happen in any first world countries not named America?
