ExiledInIllinois Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) IMO this photo says a lot about the divide. http://www.google.co...453759736&hl=en I gotta break on the side of the police officer here. He looks thoroughly bewildered. Edited August 18, 2014 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Do a ride along with an urban LEO and then get back to us. It's nice to think the world is roses and sunshine and cops don't discriminate against minorities, but it just isn't reality. It's a narrative white folks tell themselves to help them feel better about ignoring the actual reality of how police interact with minorities every single day in this country. Don't presume to know my experience. And don't put words in my mouth. I know white guilt is your thing and I don't want to deprive you of it, but this situation has all the markings of a manufactured crisis. Claiming some urban cops are not evenhanded when dealing with people of different colors is not the same thing as establishing the kind of systematic and violent discrimination and violence that we're being told exists. If cops were mowing down black "kids" the way the race hustlers and guilty white liberals would like us to believe, they wouldn't have to exploit Trayvon Martin typed scenarios to stir up controversy.

bbb Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Seriously. If it was this "open season" on brown boys, as I've heard it, they wouldn't need these two type of cases, where so much is unknown. There should be plenty of clear cut cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keukasmallies Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 So, many people are concerned about the militarization of police forces, but applaud calling in the national guard to restore order in difficult situations. What's wrong with this picture? This just in: National Guard troops ARE military trained, armed, organized, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Brown was hit six times before he died, I am thinking he was on something. http://www.nytimes.c...st-6-times.html Four times in the right arm. I am thinking you are on something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary M Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Four times in the right arm. I am thinking you are on something. "Dr. Baden provided a diagram of the entry wounds, and noted that the six shots produced numerous wounds. Some of the bullets entered and exited several times, including one that left at least five different wounds." “This one here looks like his head was bent downward,” he said, indicating the wound at the very top of Mr. Brown’s head. “It can be because he’s giving up, or because he’s charging forward at the officer.” Edited August 18, 2014 by Gary M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But check out this map. http://www.nytimes.c...t-map.html?_r=0 I agree that there are ?'s to be resolved, but I'd rather see military equipment surveyed out of active service put in the hands of our police forces (w/ proper training!) than left on the battlefield for some terrorists to scarf up, e.g., ISIS.

B-Man Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 An autopsy conducted on Michael Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old fatally shot by Ferguson, Missouri, police officer Darren Wilson last Saturday, shows that Brown was shot at least six times, twice in the head and all in the front of the body. The New York Times reported the results of a private autopsy conducted by Dr. Michael Baden, who was hired by the Brown family. Baden conducted the autopsy on Sunday, according to the Times. One bullet entered the top of Brown’s skull. Four struck him in the right arm. All bullets hit Brown in the front of the body, according to the autopsy. According to Baden, the shots did not appear to have been fired at close range given the lack of gunpowder on Brown’s body. A further determination on gunpowder will have to be made after assessing the teen’s clothes. Of course, NONE of this disproves "excessive force" or wrongdoing by the officer, but the media/Left narrative of the "unarmed Black child gunned down while running away" is proved bogus. .

boyst Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 No, dummy, it matters because it's the topic of the conversation. And you know that, because you love commenting in these kinds of threads pretending to not care about the issue -- which is just hysterically untrue. You do care. And you care a lot because you have very passionate and pointed opinions you just can't wait to share in each of these threads. You're in denial, my friend. You should really look at this issue deeper. Or be honest about it. Yeah... This is the work of a man who doesn't care at all or have an opinion on the matter. You're a fraud. Or full of ****. One or the other. I would be a fraud. My values are far below my beliefs. It is hard for me to believe that I actually believe - and I do, sadly - that the victim offers nothing to society. That the officer did the world a favor. I believe we should all treat each other respectfully and I do not believe in violence. I don't see anything in this world that seperates one man from another. But, for all that I believe I cannot feel that way. I know I am not perfect and I do not claim to be...often. but this case is over blown and ridiculous. There is no reason it deserves attention.

Nanker Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Oh yeah, that's not cool anymore. What's cool now? I mean, screw those girls because we tried. Isis is doing that right now and don't need any help. They send completely uninformed "journalists" to "report" the "news," and wonder why we hold their "reporting" in contempt. Ryan J. Reilly is a D.C.-based reporter who covers the Justice Department and the Supreme Court for The Huffington Post. .

/dev/null Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Isis is doing that right now and don't need any help. If those are rubber bullets, then this is an assault rifle: Let's see, detachable magazine, "high capacity" magazine (I count 6 visible projectiles, plus whatever is under the plastic), bayonet lug, pistol grip, and that scary looking triangle at the end of the barrel (yes, I talked to a gun control freak who thought the front sight post was some modern assault rifle contraption) You should be jailed for posting picutes of such AR Style Assault Glocks in the Intarweb.

What's wrong with this picture? This just in: National Guard troops ARE military trained, armed, organized, etc. But at least they are trained to handle military grade equipment and situations, unlike the vast majority of police officers.
