mirage62 0 #579 September 11, 2014 Quote You do not travel out of the country much do you? LOL, we obviously aren't friends on FB. Just got back from 12 days in touring the Greek islands and days in Venice. I've travelled overseas approx. 10 times. You can decide if that qualifies as "much". Quote We have lost that.. we have a police force more akin to right wing police states with the biggest bullies rising to the top of their local cesspools. See THATS where you and I disagree. Personally I believe that you are talking about a small minority. I am 54 years old, my experience with police have been minimal but I'm not a thug. (Not suggesting you are) Sensible gun laws could change the equation. In other countries the police are not likely to face an armed bad guy. Here it is different. Until THAT changes, it isn't England, the bad guys are arm to the teeth. To compare endlessly how great the English police are (as far as not shooting people) is just dumb.Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 893 #580 September 11, 2014 He had his bleeping hands up! Few more witnesses. NOT locals either. Couple of white fellahs at that. Still looks like bad cop to me - just based on what little we do know anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycop 0 #582 September 11, 2014 You, me, and every other poster here has no idea what happened. The eyes of the world are on this Grand Jury, they will take their time and hopefully make the right choice. The thing for certain is, there are going to be very unhappy people regardless of what is decided. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Anvilbrother 0 #584 September 11, 2014 No this is just another video that will have to be put to the test against others. They say this was taken moments after, but you see an officer putting up crime tape. You dont hop out and just start doing that. This had to be 5-10 minutes later. From this video clip we see a guy saying he was facing him with hands up, the other girl said he was walking away and was shot in the back, and the final guy with cooper said he was facing the cop, balled up, and then was shot. Just from this clip we cant even form an idea of what happened. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

turtlespeed 226 #587 September 12, 2014 mirage62We all us that lean right know that a civil discussion w Amazon is difficult at best, she just seems to have to put something snarky in her reply. There are literally 100's of videos of police do something wrong - they make great press and the officers SHOULD BE punished to the extreme because of the position they hold in society. That being the case I point out like the flash of a cop doing something bad is balanced by the LITERALLY 100,000 of times they do good. Normiss post was spot on. The police have to prove there innocence like everyone else. AND be held to a higher standard. Some here just believe that the police in majority are bad, I think the opposite. Man oh man oh man did you just nail it right the F**k on the head of the nail. Last time I checked - it used to be that you were innocent until proven guilty. The problem we have now is that is more illusion that reality. THAT is where we need to start problem solving.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem we have now is that is more illusion that reality. THAT is where we need to start problem solving. The issue is that there is a very clear perception among society that police officers routinely get away with making mistakes that have life changing consequences for the civilians affected. Cops getting investigated and cleared by cops, often from the same department. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't get the idea that there is a cover up OR lack of investigation. The Feds are doing one....the State is doing one (I believe) and of course the local police. It's interesting to me that many here hold to the idea that police get off shooting innocent people all the time. Many seem to have a basic distrust of the police. I've just not lived that life....I've been to jail....twice.... and deserved it both times. Yes I am a white man, but many here are white and really have dislike of the police. I'd like to understand, seriously but my life experience does not allow me to feel that the majority or even remotely close to a majority of police are as bad as some here believe.Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I WANT AN INVESTIGATION.... ANYTIME A COP SHOOTS A CITIZEN... BY AN IMPARTIAL WATCHDOG GROUP.. There.cvfd1399 perhaps can quit trying to make up shit. I do not know if the officer in Ferguson is guilty or not and unlike the police in many cases.. I believe in our constitution and its provisions of INNOCENCE until proven guilty in a court of law......... but I am FUCKIN TIRED of police departments "investigating" themselves when an unarmed citizen is killed and making it all go away when the "investigation" is nothing more than a whitewash job to protect brother officers. a BAD cop is just that and should NEVER be trusted with the responsibility of life and death over citizens EVER AGAIN.
