Ferguson Unrest

[ten ocho recon scout]

I think Blacks should start being white

which leads to a question

According to torii hunter, is sammy sosa in fact now impersonating an imposter?

[Tank]

The take he had is still horrible.  Any death except for natural ones can have a what if attached to it.  Bottom line is he isn't dead if the cops don't choke him out.

 

but the cops don't choke him if cooperates, and that's what i'm wondering about. this may be another case where if the victim cooperates, the outcome is likely quite a bit different. what the police did was wrong - no justification for using an illegal chokehold whatsoever -  but the uncooperative actions of the victim put him in a bad position. i think the victim has to take at least a little responsibility in starting the chain of events.

[Tank]

Most of the time when the person is compliant the cops simply shout "stop resisting!!!" for the camera as they proceed to kill them.

 

wait, what?

These protests are making the scumbags, as Barkley called them, look even worse. Many more out on the streets and no one is looting or burning down buildings. Some arrests but that's to be expected.

He might take responsibility if he was still alive.

Come on, Tank. If a cop, or in this case a gaggle of cops, can't manage a single unarmed suspect without snuffing the life force from his body then they are abject failures. Their job is to place suspects into the justice system, not kill them. Anything short is job not done.

you're probably the only one here who can get away with saying something so douchey.

I remember in the early days when some weren't accustomed to his shenanigans, they placed him on ignore. After a while, you learn to accept it and eventually embrace it.

Funny, I don't see anything on the morning news mentioning that Euro getting beaten to death with hammers by a bunch of black people.

He's like that douchey uncle that is completely inappropriate with the women in the family, especially the young ones, but never quite crosses the line into full pedo.

[Brandon]

Actually he did a couple years ago. It was pretty creepy.

If White's start looting a Trader Joe's, then Anderson Cooper might show up.

If that happens I'm raiding the hummus section. I love me some three layer hummus.

[Brandon]

I'm going in on the pumpkin ice cream and those Joe Joes.

Only if it's in the middle of a hurricane, and he could be yelling into the camera only an idiot would be out in a hurricane.

Can you grab a couple boxes of Joe Joes for my wife?  We can then meet up for the hand-off at the Torii Hunter Del Taco

Still a great story. I'm close to that Del Taco and it's such a piece of shit location.

when the victim resists arrest, police are going to take stronger measures to get him to submit. it's not like they're just going to go "ah, screw it. we give up. you're free to go." stop resisting and a lot of these officers won't resort to stronger, harsher measures.

 

did the police taze this guy?

All of these excuses for the police like "if he hadn't resisted" or "if he wasn't so overweight" are driving me crazy.  It is basically like a drunk driver saying that if the person they killed while driving intoxicated hadn't been on the road that night, they wouldn't have been killed.

 

A majority of murder victims have put themselves in situations that likely increased their chances to be murderd.  That still does not exonerate the killer, at all.

[Blarg]

Your analogy fails on so many levels.

[Brandon]

Yeah, the issue is he shouldn't have even been arrested or detained in the first place. Listening to the lawyers on tv, he should have just been cited if he was selling loosies.

 

There is a real problem with law enforcement just thinking they can go up to anyone and detain them or infringe on their rights like it's Auschwitz.

Do tell.

[Tank]

please understand i'm not trying to justify what the police did, not in any way, shape or form.

 

however, i understand their frustration when a suspect won't cooperate. my point is that if the police are trying to arrest you, don't resist. so many of these stories involve a suspect that wouldn't cooperate (like way long ago with rodney king). it can set off some police officers in a final straw sort of way it seems. 

 

i don't think the police are deliberately looking to use harsh measures to subdue most/every/any suspect, but i think when a suspect resists, it exacerbates the situation.

Watch the video. It's readily available. Maybe you don't mind living in a place where that's acceptable. I don't.
