Family member on cnn saying no gun. A phone came out of his pocket, but not a gun. He didn't own a gun according to her.

Is the exact post I quoted and it is someone saying they should come in with guns drawn. You either need some sleep or a snickers.


Okay, I re-read that. One person. BTW, sleep I am sure. But a snickers sounds good.

It's ridiculous that people act like 1 good deed in your life is enough to disqualify you from being a no good piece of shite. But but but he helped the old lady cross the road the other day.....STFU




That's actually not my point.

My point would be, where was his family when he needed him?


Of course they come out now after the fact, but he was homeless for a reason. You can be sad for your dad and former? husband. But you are not allowed to act like he was present in your life when he wasn't.


That's why I want clarification on the homelessness.

When a cop discharges his weapon it is to kill.

Not injure. Or deescalate the situation.

If they pull the trigger, it is to kill. That is protocol.


That isn't true. They are trained to shoot to stop. If that means you have to shoot until he's dead, so be it, but that isn't the threshold.

Just wondering is it reasonable for them to shoot them in a non life threatening spot initially then disarm them.

This is where Media stars are made.

Stlouis newspaper, photographer, and media won a shite load of awards for their Ferguson coverage.. Media loves White on Black crime and killing, it sells, especially White cops killing blacks.

No gun. It was a phone. He didn't own a gun. He was protecting the store. And damn. She saw a lot more video than anyone else has seen.

GTFO. You're giving tangerine a run for biggest dumbass in this thread.


I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you're a cop. You frickers are going to put our city through all this SJW bullshite because you have to double down to protect your own.

Don't hide evidence. It looks really really bad. Be above board.

Very wrong. When they shoot it is to eliminate the target. They are not trained to wound.
