You'll love the chain we have around here then.Pump n Munch? You guys are in a Simpsons timeline.
You can tell by the throwing form. Americans know how to throw things, Yurupeons know how to kick.relax nick, it's in spain
I live in a good area, and honestly everything you will see in the news is a couple blocks, not the whole city is burning b.s. everyone likes to claim.4x: you clear of the chaos or have all the violence boxes rolling around?
So, just like when "ANTIFA" was burning Portland to the ground.I live in a good area, and honestly everything you will see in the news is a couple blocks, not the whole city is burning b.s. everyone likes to claim.
Oh so you're right where all the action is? Sweet!I live in a good area,

Baltimore Cops Carried Toy Guns to Plant on People They Shot, Trial Reveals
One officer involved in the city's massive corruption scandal said officers kept the replicas "in case we accidentally hit somebody or got into a shootout, so we could plant them."www.vice.com
"went nuts"Less than lethal options aren't really safe either. Put a canister of CS in a small room with a little girl and there's a good chance you're going to fuck her up far more than the bad guy. When Dorner went nuts they lobbed CS into the cabin where he was holed up and it wound up burning him alive. Same result, much less tasteful.
Jesus christ.
"he shouldn't have complied?"Video: Chicago boy wasn't holding gun when shot by officer
Disturbing bodycam video shows a 13-year-old boy appearing to drop a handgun and begin raising his hands less than a second before a Chicago police officer shoots and kills himabcnews.go.com
he threw 'em for a loop by complying, and they shot him anyways.(I know better. I fucking knwo better to think we'll have an actual debate on this ... fucking heck anyway...)
The 13 year old was a kid, he's a child. he's a known gang member with a gun, 13 years old in the streets at 3am. the cops were responding to shots fired and found not only him but another armed suspect AT the scene of shots fired. he ran, only stopped when he could not get away and tossed the gun within a second of being shot.
What would you guys have had that cop do? Should he have waited to see if the kid shot at him first?

We have the luxury of armchair quarterbacking this. That cop didn't.
I don't want to see anybody killed, certainly not a 13 year old fucking child. But at least debate the facts.
What do you believe you'd have done if you were in the cops position? What if you were in the kids position?
Because "waiting to see if the kid complied by putting his hands up AS DIRECTED" is not an option.What would you guys have had that cop do? Should he have waited to see if the kid shot at him first?

if only there were a system where people accused of crimes could be evaluated based on evidence against them, then punished if said evidence proved their guilt.Because "waiting to see if the kid complied by putting his hands up AS DIRECTED" is not an option.
Obviously.
"He had to kill him he had no other option" is nonsense. There are about 100 other options.
Gimme a break. White people with guns are very rarely treated like this. It is entirely a double standard. And he got shot when he didn't have a gun.
But he was inagang™, hehadagun™. All very well established techniques to absolve you from giving a shit when it comes to black kids.
Look up the name Chandler Pappas. That guy spent all summer waving around guns right in front of cops while having several warrants out on him for all kinds of gun related shit AND domestic abuse. 5 years of that shit before he finally got to the point that they just couldn't ignore him. This kid got a few seconds of leeway and got shot, not arrested.
This country is so down the hole of "this person sure looks like a bunch of things that threaten me, it's okay to kill them" it's insane.if only there were a system where people accused of crimes could be evaluated based on evidence against them, then punished if said evidence proved their guilt.
instant guilt = instant executionThis country is so down the hole of "this person sure looks like a bunch of things that threaten me, it's okay to kill them" it's insane.
thug
gang member
hadagun
superpredator
welfare queen
All this shit very specifically used so that white people can absolve any feeling of concern, ignore reality and go back to eating their food and fawning over golf clubs.
He got shot for precrime and 'complying' and it's okay because he fits a trope.
Not chased the kid, returned to my precinct and tendered my resignation because I refuse to be part of an enforcement arm for a white supremacist capitalist empire that subsists on oppression. Then I'd make a list of all the violent assholes I work with and that I've covered for for years and hand over all information to the US justice department to start a paper trail.What do you believe you'd have done if you were in the cops position? What if you were in the kids position?
american
it's the^onlyway
Fixed that for you.this person sure is actually doing like a bunch of things that are indicative of a very real threat to public safety
Got it. Thanks for a semi-sincere reply.Not chased the kid, returned to my precinct and tendered my resignation because I refuse to be part of an enforcement arm for a white supremacist capitalist empire that subsists on oppression.
And I know there are more good cops than bad, but there are bad cops.
Fixed that for you.
1. The facts of this matter don't magically disappear because he was black and 13 years old.
They have impossible jobs. They're trained to think every single interaction is a danger to their lives, are tasked with initiating those interactions, and so of course you get this inevitable result. I'm not even talking about he racist roid ragers that gravitate towards those jobs because it give them power, I'm talking about a deeply flawed system that was rotten from the start. Slave patrols and union busting teams. That's how they started and in most cases, that's how they continue, just in different forms. And the impunity they're granted to do whatever the fuck they want is a failed system.I think police have really difficult jobs, that get more difficult all the time.
Like I allude above, it's not about the individual. It's a structurally flawed institution. Yes it also attracts assholes but your 'good cops' are the same ones that end up being silent and covering for the evils of the institution. The 'bad cop' is the bad system. They're set up to fail. That's why they're so damn secretive and protective. Because "just doin muh job" is kinda true. The job itself is poison. At a certain point, the individual is irrelevant.And I know there are more good cops than bad, but there are bad cops.
Respectful and strongly disagree.The cop created that situation. You can't ignore that.
Oh so the kid went and found the cop and said "let's go guy!"Respectful and strongly disagree.
Holy. Fuck.We spend trillions in this country on policing. We're stuck in a cycle of 'throw more money at them for reform' and it never works. Sure keep detectives and inspectors around to you know.....actually solve crimes. But cops aren't required to engage criminals, you know that right? We don't even hold them to the job we pay them to do. What they decide to do or not do is entirely discretionary. And that is why they go after poor people who can't fight back, and why they create the tropes I listed above. They protect a facade, not people.
The Police are Not Required to Protect You — Barnes Law
To Protect and to Serve” – the ubiquitous creed emblazoned across millions of police cars throughout Los Angeles and indeed the United States. This motto is consistent with the common belief that police officers as well as other law enforcement officers are here to protect us.www.barneslawllp.com
The whole rest of the unit resigned from their group in protest, in an act of solidarity to the assholes that shoved the elderly man to the ground and marched on by him.so you prove my point? there are bad cops?
