Sister of black man killed by police says he was unarmed (lawyers, party)

[GregW]

This is what happens when the Police cease policing and become an occupying army.


I do not believe there were any guns or drugs involved in this incident that were not planted by the cops. The police are trained by each other to cover for each other no matter what. Being Blue is more important than decency or justice.

yeah..


I have several very good friends work for LAPD, they were former military (combat Marines). They all said police officers are police officers, and they SHOULD NOT be combat soldiers. In battle field, soldiers follow rules of engagement, in civilian world, police shoot in order to eliminate the threat.

Like I posted earlier,

If you want to mimic military tactics you have to also meet certain thresholds and put yourself into different mindsets. Combat troops have rules of engagement, they were specifically ordered to hold fire until they TOOK direct fire. That means you have to put your ass on the line a little bit before engaging, in order to confirm hostile intent. Then you take out an enemy target.

I don't know... Some argued that we shouldn't be using former military in our police force, I think it is ridiculous. Former military without PTSD know a whole lot better what is real threat, what is not.

Your opinion.

This would have never happened to a white female. She may have been raped on the side of the road but not killed.

He is not some Navy Seal, Green Beret, MMA expert or FBI superhero like the Blindspot TV drama. Tazers were the best option and/or batons IF he was non-compliant and aggressive.

She choked, just like Trump said, Betty Shelby is the perfect example of
a woman who should NEVER BE ALLOWED to become a police officer.

I have never felt comfortable with women being police. I noticed it
starting in the 1990s. They always seem insecure or moody.

She panicked. She has a history of this type of defensive overreaction,
they are talking about it now.

That is my opinion, I really could care less what anyone else thinks,
you cannot allow just any woman (or just any man) to become a police officer.

I would charge her with manslaughter at the very least, this was terrible !!!!!!

It was terrible.

I have been a vocal defender of police officers, but this one, gee, hard to defend.

I agree with you (the bold) Women don't belong to the special force either, and I can care less what others think about my comment.

It also won't happen to a black female.

It can, and will, happen to a male of any race.

(Yes, it could happen to a female, but the odds are greatly diminished)

"she might be raped on the side of the road."

Gee, how many times did this happen? Talking herself out of getting a speeding ticket would be the most possible scenario. Let's not be drama queens. Rape? gee. Maybe happen once in a blue moon. But let's not pretend this happens all the time. sheesh
