re: "Fruit of Islam" coming to Troy rally against police brutality tomorrow (P 25)

It’s amazing how many people right here in this thread prefer to live in a police state where one is to obey the government authority 100 percent of the time, no questions asked. There is a place for these people to live happily. And a little midget with a bad haircut runs that country.

I don't understand the point of your post.

Of course you don't because you think the worst of ALL cops.

quote:

---

All police actions are justified because sometimes police officers do something heroic?

---

Not at all, but I would probably say there are more like these from Milwaukee than the others.

quote:

---

I want the heroism, but I'll pass on the murder.

---

And I'm sure everybody does as well. But then again, that would take them not having to deal with the one's that are out to kill them and others.

We ask cops every day to be social workers, marriage counselors, psychiatrists, negotiators, teachers and friends. Yet, too often, the same people who ask this of police balk when asked to support the other people who are trying to do those jobs.

Ashley Guindon was an accomplished, thoughtful woman. And an appropriate way to honor her sacrifice is to acknowledge that the work of law enforcement officers is nuanced, complex and requires an American partnership that is much deeper than simply taking sides along a thin blue line.

Pilots that fly right seat for the regional airlines make about the same or less than the average starting salary of a police officer, but no one would ever use that as an excuse for marginal job performance that my kill people like they do the police.

Was that an accidental shooting..shot thru a wall? Something about a car thief?

Yep, "accidental". I think the police were reckless. A reasonable person would think "shooting at a crazy woman standing in front of a mobile home is a bad idea", but that thought didn't enter the minds of the police officers. They were too scared of the woman standing in front of the mobile home, carrying a piece of pipe that "looked like a gun", to think about innocent bystanders.

Kameron Prescott and his family weren't criminals, but not being a criminal didn't protect him from police bullets.

Thanks for the answer. I knew nothing of the particulars.

Accidents happen. That said, if they thought she had a gun and was acting crazy? Need to know more. How far away was she from the officers...was she moving towards them..was she shot? Again...accidents happen. There are much worse examples than this. (they didn't know the kid was there.)

Yeah,that's about average for regular around here,I think. Might be a couple of cents cheaper even, I am usually buying diesel.
