Good thing they handcuffed him before beginning life saving efforts.

He could be faking it!
You know what you need? A lyrical sucker punch to the face.
Re: Why Do Local Cops Need Camoflauge?
That article was odd. It said he was killed in his own backyard, but it also says that he had broken windows in his neighbor's house and several cars. Were windows actually broken. How do they know he did it? Why would he be breaking into cars on his own street?
Totally Kafkaesque
Re: Why Do Local Cops Need Camoflauge?
That's the problem with helicoptering in to these local stories. Sometimes it is perfectly rational to destroy cars on your own block.
Re: Why Do Local Cops Need Camoflauge?
Let's say he absolutely did it, because he hated his neighbors for being hard workers while he was a lazy thug stealing welfare checks and like, wearing his pants low and stuff.Shirley wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 8:31 am That article was odd.

Even then I don't think you should shoot him.

Re: Why Do Local Cops Need Camoflauge?
That’s what I hate about how these stories are covered. It doesn’t matter what crimes the guy may have committed. There is no justification for using deadly force unless he poses an imminent and serious danger to the life (and not just windows or parked cars) of others. You can’t just kill someone for theft or property damage! To use a local example, it doesn’t matter if Michael Brown stole cigarettes from a convenience store.tennbengal wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 8:59 amFire take.Gunpowder wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 8:56 amLet's say he absolutely did it, because he hated his neighbors for being hard workers while he was a lazy thug stealing welfare checks and like, wearing his pants low and stuff.Shirley wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 8:31 am That article was odd.

Re: Why Do Local Cops Need Camoflauge?
I'd like to see someone start applying the "if you didn't want to get shot, you shouldn't have _______" logic to white collar crimes.

Re: Why Do Local Cops Need Camoflauge?
The fact that I have more restrictive rules in a fucking war zone than cops do in America is the peak of bullshit mountain, given the context of police brutality.

Re: Why Do Local Cops Need Camoflauge?
Compare and contrast to the almost GLOWING story about the Austin bomber that appeared in the NY Times this morning. 'He was a good, quiet, christian boy!'. And the police chief talking about his confessions (which they found on his phone) '“But instead, it is the outcry of a very challenged young man talking about challenges in his personal life that led him to this point.”Joe K wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 9:17 amThat’s what I hate about how these stories are covered.

Unarmed black man gets shot in his backyard, and a white KILLER gets called a 'challenged young man'.

Re: Why Do Local Cops Need Camoflauge?
Legit question, because I haven't been paying that close attention - is there evidence that the Austin bomber was deliberately targeting blacks, or gays, or any other particular class of victim?DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 11:11 amCompare and contrast to the almost GLOWING story about the Austin bomber that appeared in the NY Times this morning.

And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: Why Do Local Cops Need Camoflauge?
My understanding is that the first two victims were from black families that are fairly prominent locally. But the subsequent bombings seemed a bit more random.

And to be clear, my question is just a question - it's not to defend the media's treatment of him or dispute how that treatment compares to people of color.

Re: Why Do Local Cops Need Camoflauge?
What the fuck Steve. You've clearly been in quietly racist Utah for too long now, and should move to the loudly racist south where you don't have to be shy about guessing that he would have ended up dead or killing someone anyway so this was ok.

It's about damned time. (Wasn't he wielding a knife, but walking away when he was shot 16 times?)

Apparently the only reason that one came to light is because a couple of local journalists sued the city to get the video. Rahm Emanuel tried to cover it up.brian wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 2:30 pmThat's the one.Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 2:19 pmIt's about damned time.

Re: Why Do Local Cops Need Camoflauge?
I remember the good old days of 2009 when so many Dems thought it was great that Obama’s Chief of Staff was a “badass” who said fuck a lot. When it was obvious from the start what a terrible choice Rahm was when it came to policy goals.Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 2:39 pmApparently the only reason that one came to light is because a couple of local journalists sued the city to get the video.

The below image is not a joke.
And let me reiterate - this is the actual mint of Canada, not a Franklin Mint type of thing...
