Re: Cop Shot and Killed Standing in Front of a School
The people have already denounced you...you must slink away and go back to your capitalist hiding place with your police bedfellows. By the way...burn Ferguson burn! Long live the workers! Long live Michael Brown...martyr of the jackbooted police oppressors! FORWARD INTO THE PAST!

Re: Cop Shot and Killed Standing in Front of a School
As I've said before...a kid can kill you just as fast and throughly as an adult. If a kid has a handgun (or replica) in his hand and fails to follow police commands and if the officer honestly feels that the hangun was real or a threat to his safety or the safety of others it was a good shoot...no matter the kid's age. You always glom onto the emotional side when looking at these incidents. This rot of thing has been happening for over seventy years. It's certainly a tragic event, but it's not the fault of the officer. Painting the tips of replica firearms is so stupid as to defy common sense. What's to stop criminals to paint the tip of a real firearm to fool officers? Like gun control...it only applies to the law abiding who aren't the one's we're concerned about.

Re: Cop Shot and Killed Standing in Front of a School
Unlike you guys (and I'm not throwing stones here) I don't and can't put my emotions into my diagnosis of any police use of force incident. I simply pass along what will happen and whether there's liability or legal issues to the officer or department. The emotional, social, or protest issues are of no concern to the facts or repercussions of the case at hand. If you guys or the public is outraged about an officer legally shooting a child with a replica firearm then talk to your political representatives to change the laws, but until that happens, the officer nor his department are not legally at fault. In other words, if you feel so strongly, then get involved in changing the tort system. If you wish to discuss why the officer reacted the way he did then that's something else. If you would like to discuss the differences between a toy gun, a BB gun, and an airsoft gun, then that also is something else. If you wish to discuss the American legal system, both civil tort and criminal justice, then that too is a separate discussion. If you would like to talk about what a tragedy it is for a young child to be killed in any manner then that too is a very separate issue. What shall it be?

Re: Cop Shot and Killed Standing in Front of a School
We had a rough start, but I enjoy your posts despite some pretty messy generalizations. It would be refreshing to read a truly objective critical peer review, of those in your profession. Perhaps I simply missed that/those post/s. |

Re: Cop Shot and Killed Standing in Front of a School
I'll tell you what...if you post the news article about the kid that just got shot by the coppers back east either here or in the News Section...I'll go through it just like I would if the department or officers had hired me. I'll try to explain their actions, reactions, and problems. It always tickles me when folks get mad and emotional at the cops when it's the idiot politicians that make the stupid laws...we just get tagged trying to do what their poorly written laws require us to do. |
