re: 17-year-old is on life support after being shot by San Antonio officer at McDonald's

a cop doesnt have the right to approach or speak to someone? you believe a cop is breaking the law every time he walks up to someone to ask questions about a situation? that's pretty dumb.

Gun drawn and ripping open the door with no warning or announcing himself? Nah.

You're not being honest about the situation here.

That McDonald's is literally 500 yards from my office here on Blanco Road in San Antonio. Heard about the shooting that morning and decided I wasn't g2 stop there for breakfast

What a bad, bad shoot, though. Yikes.

if you know, then answer, with the link, was the car stolen?

Don't have a link, but I do know it wasn't the car the cop claimed evaded him the night before.

How do you know that?

Been following the story a bit. Like I said, I'm a local. I actually might hit up that McDonald's for lunch here in a sec lol.

Every interaction I've ever had with a cop or cops has been a positive and professional one. I'm white and have never been accused of a crime which, no doubt, makes me a good guy in their eyes. My interactions have been as a victim, my employer being the victim or as a witness. In every case the cops responded in a professional manner. I've never witnessed a cop abusing a citizen.

I'm not naïve and have seen a good number of videos of cops behaving badly and breaking the law. It obviously happens but my gut feeling is the bad cops are in a minority.

I've had cops tell me stories about the crap they have to deal with. Considering the temptations, overall I'm in their corner.

Same, honestly.

Same for me except I'm black.

This is true for the vast majority of professions. Law enforcement or otherwise.

They have a tough job, one most people can't do, but even so, no one should get carte blanche simply by virtue of their profession. Gotta evaluate these things incident by incident. There are good shoots and bad shoots.

This one down the street from me was absolutely horrible. Inexcusable on any level.

Tell us again how direct quotes are faulty logic you bootlicking moron.

And I don't know if the department knows.

Of all the stupid things you’ve said in this thread, this undoubtedly tops the list.

Here’s another direct question for you to avoid answering coward: If the department doesn’t know whether or not the car was stolen, how could the piece of shite you’ve been defending for 9 pages know?

quote:

They're not saying and in damage control mode

Hey dumbass, what is this damage they hVe to control?

But if you know, then answer, with the link, was the car stolen?

The fact that you insist on holding on to this question when the answer is either completely irrelevant or the opposite of what you’re assuming to be true, and you’re too stupid to understand why, is truly hilarious.

it's not irrelevant, given the current media narrative and it is relevant to my well being and that of my society. You have spent a remarkable amount of time trashing someone asking a simple question that was obviously avoided by the media and politicians attempting to canonize this kid as the next George Floyd. I just want to know if he was a kid with a future or a car jacking thug before I decide how I feel about it and that offends you. Why do rational fact based decisions bother you?

Well, that's a claim. Doesn't make it true. No offense.

Your cornbread ain't done in the middle.

No offense
