CameraNewbie 0 #1 December 22, 2014 Perp shoots at cops but ran out of bullets on the same day 2 cops were killed. What do protesters want? Dead cops! When do you they want it? NOW!!!! Another criminal that has no qualm to grant the protesters' wishes. The very same day that 2 cops were assassinated in Brooklyn yesterday, a 17 year old male fires rounds into random apartment windows in the Bronx, nearly missing a few occupants inside their apartments. When cops responded to the scene, just a few feet away from cops, the criminal aims his .357 caliber revolver at cops twice, pulls the trigger a few times. Thank God his gun was empty. All LIVES matter!What do protesters want? Dead cops! When do they want it? Every 2 weeks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy9o8 2 #4 December 22, 2014 You can start as many threads on the same subject as they let you, but the premise of each of your OPs is bullshit. Here's a premise for you: If police don't want the public to dislike them, they shouldn't treat civilians like the enemy and push them around for no other reason than because they can. And I don't mean just the oft-profiled darkish folks that you and your fellow travelers are dysfunctionally obsessed with. I mean like the recent time I, a clean-cut, middle-aged white guy, was driving in Boca my with blue-haired elderly mom in a newer family sedan - hoo boy, did we look dangerous! - and a cop rolled up on us and screamed - screamed! - at us for the dire offense of standing the car at the curb in front of a store in a strip shopping center (we were reading the "open hours" sign) rather than immediately parking in the lined spaces in the lot. It was about 8:00 pm (summer, still daylight), and there were almost no other cars in the lot, so we weren't in anyone's way. No, I didn't give him an attitude or anything, he just did it... because he could. I was raised to respect police officers, and I raised my kids to do the same. But when police push around ordinary citizens living ordinary lives, they start to lose the last bastion of their popular support, and not just that of the smart-asses. So here's another premise for you: In a civil society, peace generally requires justice. No justice, no peace. You want to say those murdered cops' blood is on the hands of protesters and their supporters? Or on the mayor of NYC (as the police union is saying)? I say it's on the hands of a police culture that treats civilians like the enemy. And their supporters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gangbangers & Drug dealers don't drive around in cars that have "To Protect And Serve" on the side (or even "To Harass & Annoy"). Thugs don't have the legal authority to detain, search & arrest either. I don't have a problem with cops in general. I have a problem with the thugs and bullies that wear the uniform.

No, I didn't give him an attitude or anything, he just did it... because he could. I can't answer on his behalf for his actions towards you and your mom. You were not given a summons, correct? Regardless of the severity of the violation you committed, you had every right to ask that Police Officer why he took that tone with you but you didn't. Instead you're judging All cops based on one negative interaction that you had with one cop. Do you honestly think that is fair way to judge other cops that are courteous to the public? QuoteI was raised to respect police officers, and I raised my kids to do the same. But when police push around ordinary citizens living ordinary lives, they start to lose the last bastion of their popular support, and not just that of the smart-asses. That's awesome that you were raised that way and that's even more awesome that you raised your kids the same way. Growing up, I disliked the police just like everyone else here. I've been kicked, punched, thrown to the ground. However, don't get me wrong, I wasn't exactly an angel either. I wasn't a criminal but I was respectful to the police. What changed my perspective about the police as I matured? 911 did. As I was walking down the stairs of the world trade center, I saw Police and Firemen were walking up, towards the danger. Then, when I was running away from the debris and the clouds of dust in the air, I saw hundreds of Police Officers that were bleeding and had broken limbs but yet they stood their ground and directed us to safety or where to get medical attention. QuoteYou want to say those murdered cops' blood is on the hands of protesters and their supporters? Let's make this very clear. Protesters are not killing the police officers nor are they hiring killers. They chant that they want dead police officers because they're enraged. However, they're not totally peaceful either. Let's not lie to each other, there are a few bad apples in that bunch. Proof is in the assault of the brooklyn bridge assault on 2 cops, where cops were kicked in the face and one cop had his nose broken.What do protesters want? Dead cops! When do they want it?

Andy9o8 2 #20 December 22, 2014 CameraNewbie***Or when a felony take down choke hold kills a guy you could have issued a ticket to? The M.E. never said that he died of asphyxiation. If someone puts you in a chokehold and you die from having your airways restricted, you will die due to asphyxiation. You're re-hashing the same bullshit argument as was hashed in the Garner thread 2 weeks ago. The medical examiner's office said: "The cause of Garner's death was "compression of neck (choke hold), compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police". That is what it is: the totality of the officers' force. Your twiddling doesn't change that. QuoteThe Grand Jury .... concluded that he didn't die due to asphyxiation. First, the GJ has issued no such finding of fact, nor did it issue any findings of fact re: the specific medical causes of death, so you're simply making that up. Second, the all the GJ did was - at the prosecutor's urging - decline to find that the officer's conduct amounted to certain specific crimes under New York law. Nothing more. QuoteThat particular Grand Jury was made up of more than a handful of black people. Are you saying that they're wrong or incompetent? Another re-hash. As has also been discussed, of the 23 grand jurors, 9 were non-white. It takes a vote of 12 to indict. Thus even if every non-white grand juror, plus 2 more, voted to indict, there still would have been no indictment. Grand juries virtually always (about 90% of the time) rubber-stamp what the prosecutor asks them to do. This prosecutor was clearly inclined to not prosecute the officer, so it's no surprise that the (majority votes on the) GJ ultimately took the path he led them down. There are plenty of actual facts and policies about that case to debate about. Please don't insult our intelligence by acting as though your presumptions have been established as facts. They have not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The community and the retail store owners made hundreds of complaints to the police and mayor about untaxed cigarettes and selling loosies. The day of the Pataleo's grand jury, Mayor Di Blasio had a secret meeting to vote on strict enforcement for selling loosies and against untaxed cigarettes because he feared the blowback of going forward with it during the protests. Again, the M.E. did not state the cause of death was by asphyxiation. You don't die from a neck compression. You die from a choke hold due to asphyxiation. Even the Grand Jury did not indict him.
