The drunk driver makes it home safely the majority of times. That isn't a reason to just excuse him when he doesn't.

These kinds of arguments are quite ignorant. It's not an either or proposition. Sometimes police officers are wrong. When they are, they are not above the law because of their job.

Many people know that calling a cop would be bad news.

Cops shouldnt be doing what they are doing.

I've never been in a fight. I get up and go to work everyday and am reasonably successful in life. I have been harassed by cops moreso than the thug on the streets.

It isnt good to hire racist white cops to patrol the black community. Regardless of how you loom at it.

Then the perps NEED to accept the fact that playing the fool CAN end real bad and; I ain't talking about just Black hood rats either. A violent meth head; most are usually anglo white or American Indian, CAN be dangerous to the point a Tazer won't work so they need to be shot IF that's what it takes to stop an assault. Period.

Drunk drivers: their kind need to be locked up; especially if they fail to stop when being pulled over.

Try again: I did NOT say racist "white" cop; some of the Black, American Indian Rez and "Hispanic" cops can be bigots against even their own "race".

You talk like you watch too much television.

Why? Most of them never hurt anyone. That's the standard here isn't it?

We really don't know (or I haven't seen) much about the victim. All we know is some vicious animal was beating him with a pipe. Thankfully police arrived in time to stop the attack and prevent further harm. The officer did exactly what he should have-shot to stop the threat of imminent severe bodily harm or death.

It's rather pathetic, but I think you're right. They don't care if innocent victims are injured or murdered, so long as a thug isn't hurt. Well, as long as that thug is black. If he's white, no one gives a damn (and they shouldn't).

Sell your bull manure elsewhere. If the police regularly treated whites the way they too often treat blacks, Latinos, and other people of color in some places, all holy hell would break out. As long as it's blacks getting shot or beaten by the police, then it doesn't matter ... especially among a certain segment of the population.
