A well thought out statistical analysis as usual. A reporter tries to surprise a Sheriff in Florida, fortunately he picked the wrong guy for a "gotcha" moment. It pokes holes in all the false narratives being promoted by the media. https://www.facebook.com/noahpransky/videos/10154551853697518/?hc_location=ufi "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Evidence of the title of this thread. People in the effected areas will have enough, then things will change, and putting the genie back into the bottle ain't gonna be easy, or pretty. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

The essence the false narrative not only having traction, but being promoted. All from a national media source http://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/editorial-where-arc-justice-after-mike-brown-n626516 "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

You laugh, But there already is a surplus tractor program , I was looking at one a few months back. It was so nice someone in the DoD snagged it up (it's their stuff, they get it first). Remember 96% of the stuff acquired is "non-military grade". I'm getting 20 first aid kits this week, they look to be in new/unused condition. The shelf life expired on one piece so they were turned in. They are 200 bucks each. We will increase our capabilities, the only cost, prolly two tanks of gas and my time. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

There isn't an MRAP in the pictures, there are 2.5 and 5 ton trucks. But they are painted in the evil OD green. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

https://thehayride.com/2016/08/police-militarization-has-saved-lives-in-the-louisiana-flooding/#comments You can tell by the tone of the article that this guy was not a fan of the 1033 Program, but he sees the actual uses. Notice this hasn't received hardly any traction by national news outlets, it doesn't fit the underlying narrative of the national media. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Hmmm............. http://ijr.com/2016/08/674542-cnn-fesses-up-for-editing-burn-down-surburbs-quote-from-milwaukee-woman-to-make-her-sound-peaceful/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=Partners&utm_term=PRM7&utm_campaign "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Can't make this stuff up................... "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

It was training, involving firearms, there would be no "different" consideration. I was supposed to be in a controlled environment, apparently it wasn't, that is the problem. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Depends on the circumstances, this is not the first accident of this type to occur, sadly it most likely won't be the last. Whether it's military, police, or civilian. ANY firearms training can be deadly, if not controlled properly. There have been instances where this has occurred and no criminal charges were filed, obviously the civil liability is huge. My guess is she had signed a waiver prior to the training. If the guy wantonly, intentionally, recklessly violated policy, that could be the deciding factor. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

There is a high likelihood there could be criminal negligence in this. Cops make mistakes, this was a HUGE mistake, live ammo being introduced into a training area. Should have never happened, but it did. Talk to anyone who has done firearms training, accidents happen, normally all are avoidable, yet they still happen. Even among people who are highly trained; military, cops, civilian enthusiasts. Doctors kill people by mistake, pilots make mistakes that are often fatal to themselves and others. I just conducted active shooter training, we go to great lengths to prevent this type of accident. Like anything else, complacency in a dangerous environment can kill. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Incorrect, they've doubled down on it. http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2016/08/09/black-lives-matter-killing-cincy-man-police-avoidable/88449048/ "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

There is no moral relativism there, he did something courageous, he continued to chase a guy, after the guy robbed someone at gun point and pointed a gun at him while he was trying to apprehend him, that is selfless. He knew what a danger the guy posed to him and the community, so he continued at great personal risk, and was rewarded for it. There is an Arkansas State Trooper in critical condition as I type this, he apparently rammed the car of an impaired driver going the wrong way on a highway to prevent a collision with an unaware civilian driver. Comparing BLM to police officers "watching out for their brothers" is not only a lousy comparison, it's insulting. You also failed to read where I wrote if BLM zeroed in on the mental health component, rather than the police, I would have agreed with them. The regional/national media has picked up on this story, they have omitted key parts, while stoking others. It's so preposterous that it should even make it past the local level, but it has and the reporting is disingenuous. You've evidently haven't read all my posts, they are critical when they need to be. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

My main point is the differences between the AP and local stories. Right..........because these things happen in a vacuum, moral relativism at it's finest. This is so ridiculous that hopefully it will be counter-productive. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Gaining some traction, now elevated to the AP level. Notice the headline, watch the video and then read the story. https://www.yahoo.com/news/advocacy-groups-death-black-ohio-man-police-avoidable-132939911.html The video of the shooting isn't shown, or the events leading up to it. Here is the local story, notice the differences. http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2016/08/08/live-police-provide-update-fatal-officer-involved-shooting/88390456/ "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Has nothing to do with being nice, you have no non-snarky answer. But thanks for letting me off with just an warning Dropzone.comPD officer "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

He staked out a likely robbery location, the robbery occurred very close to where he thought it would happen, chased the guy, who then pointed a 9mm at him. He didn't fire, continued to chase the guy, at great personal risk, and later caught him. Yes because I was seeking your approval. I'm sure in engineering they give recognition/awards for outstanding performance. But you choose to be an ass and belittle his accomplishment from your keyboard. Why not just say something along the lines of "my comments may have been a bit out of line". Instead you make snarky comments, excellent job of moderation. Again, I expected more About a year later gang bangers shot at him and two other officers several times. In combat aviation terms this guy would have been called a magnet ass. All these situations were dictated by others, not initiated by him. This same officer ended going out on a disability, he blew the same knee out (MCL/ACL) TWICE chasing suspects. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

In my case a guy broke my jaw, then got me in a headlock and almost choked me out. As I was going out, I was going to shoot him. Instead I got really pissed, got out of the headlock, and held on until help arrived. Other times were when a guy ran at me inside a house with a pair of Barbeque forks above his head, and another ran at me with baseball bat drawn back. One of my guys had a gun pointed at him during an armed robbery stakeout, he didn't fire because of citizens in the backstop. He DID get an award for that, and of course it wasn't covered by the media, although they were invited. These are just three I can think of off the top of my head, every cop I know has similar experiences in one form or another. You were just being an ass, I'd expect more from a smart guy like you. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Really? Normally you bring up well thought out logical things, now you sound like the rest of them. Given the recent environment, that isn't remotely funny. If you are serious, then you are just being an arse. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

It's funny, I know a lot of policemen, only a very few have ever fired their weapons at anyone. But almost to a person (including me) they have situations where they could have justifiably shot someone, but didn't. You won't read that in the news. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

http://www.wcpo.com/news/crime/cincinnati-officer-shoots-suspect-downtown This is what happens when politicians and the media give groups like this traction. Had they concentrated on mental health and treatment (or the lack thereof) they would have made an actual point. "Police-orchestrated escalation" a new term to be picked up and repeated. Although the truth is the guy jumped into the police vehicle and tried to stab an officer numerous times, after robbing a store and holding a knife to a security guards throat. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

"Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Answering platitudes with..............platitudes. Just say pig, it's easier and way more specific. Seems to work for other groups. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"
