re: Marksville City Marshals......Breaking two officers charged with murder

I do know they didn't. The proof is a dead child.

Yea, no.

Jesus christ, you're going to great lengths and doing a lot of gymnastics to stick to your premise.

The bottom line is none of us know. Which has been my premise the whole thread BTW. My issue is with people like OP, Darth, etc that are ready to condemn the cops without knowing shite.

quote:

The fact the child was shot multiple times proves they fired wildly.

You keep saying it, and it still isn't a proof of anything.

You're being willfully obtuse.

Correct. For that reason, I'll just step out.

Keep on licking those cop boots.

There it is.

I will always give the initial benefit of the doubt to the officers over the criminals

It's not really "officers vs criminals".

This is ultimately a debate about how much power and leniency we grant LEOs.

Based on things like the parking lot shooting we saw the other day, I believe we are going too far and giving them too much leeway to use deadly force without repercussions.

As citizens, it's our responsibility to have these discussions and be sure that law enforcement doesn't arrogate too much power. If you let law enforcement decide, they are going to take as much as they can get. It's human nature.

All of the cop critics should become cops


They obviously know what it takes

Ah, the ole "you don't do it so shut up" argument.

We don't do it because we know the costs. That goes with any profession. If you can't handle the responsibility, get out of it.

They give you a gun, handcuffs, shotgun, vests, tasers, and defense training.

If common sense doesn't tell you that you might die, then I don't know what to say.

It's a huge responsibility with a great burden. The fear of dying doesn't give you the choice to put your life over the lives of those you swore to protect.

I would rather not have cops at all than have out of control cops and a justice system that protects them.

I'm not saying that's what we have today, but I believe it will get there if left unchecked. And you could make an argument that we are heading in that direction.
At the very least, it's impossible to ignore the fact that "officer safety" is paramount within law enforcement. And you have to lack imagination to fail to see the likely implications of that. To put a point on it, if their #1 concern is their own safety, they are going to kill a shitload of people they don't necessarily have to while also being less likely to save innocents.

If you don't consider page after page of blindly trying to make excuses for cops shooting a 6 yr old child multiple times boot licking, then it's you that's dumb.

Blindly making excuses? Can I turn that around and say you're blindly attacking since you can't open your mind at all?

And one more thing. frick you.

Are you this big a vagina in real life?
