  I am REALLY surprised with one poster on this forum that is seeing things WAY different that I am......Even though we are on different sides of the political platform and a different race, we typically agree on most things.......this one we do not.

  So........   First Furgeson Police......can't handle it   Then SL Poilce.........can't handle it   Then State police.......can't handle it   National Guard.....????   I THINK they should "grow some" and arrest all media that get in the way! A cop is going to be distracted by all the crap and get hurt.

Proves you've already made your decision

^^^Powerful Speech^^^

H     How does that cop grab THAT guy and pull him into his car?  What guy that size would WANT that guy in the car with him?

  BigGirl refuses to read those articles 

  That would contradict the theory of him "giving up" after first shot.......

  Oh, I get ya!   He throws in all that "trendy" word......unarmed, then states Black against white racism does not matter......

  Would the fact that 4 of the 6 shots hit his arm back up the claim he kept coming at the officer? An arm shot would not put you down.....but finally the two head shots did?   I always thought the accomplice to the store robbery was never going to be a dependable "eye witness" .

I posted some information on another thread and it seemed to either get lost in the messages or ignored......So, I thought it would get its own post.   There is a lot of negative information about police officers since this Furguson incident. So, I did a little research and this is what I came up with.   On average, local police forces kill 400 people every year in the Unites States, according to a seven-year FBI study.   About a fourth of those annual incidents — about 96 a year, or two every week — involve a white officer and a black victim, USA Today reported.   So, of all the officer shootings only 25% involve a white officer and a black victim...........   There was 11,078 gun involved homicides in 2013......96 involved a white officer and a black victim...that's  .86% of total homicides in the U.S......the 400 only make up 3.61% of all gun related homicides......   So, are police Officers being treated unfairly? Why the outrage? In Furguson they are trying to make it a hate crime....."that cop dreamed of killing a black man" posted by our very own Buddy Garrity (from a tweet he received) ......is that really worth posting? Again, white officers killing blacks is only 25% of ALL cop killings......   Thoughts?      [Hidden Content]   [Hidden Content]   [Hidden Content]  

I 100% agree

The video shows the reporter being a pain and getting in the way.....and I took it as warning him he was about to get shot with tear gas

According to the report, he was shot 6 times.....4 in the right arm and 2 in the head.....it does back up that video and explain why he kept coming towards him, the arm shots didn't slow him down but the head shots did.

  Did you skip over the math on how few cop killings there are in my post I made?

  I do not have a college degree, and I currently manage a very large branch of a bank.   My management skills were learned in big box retail 15 years ago.  I did do the work of two and sometimes three people. That what it took to get me noticed for promotions. If you remember Service Merchandise, I went from a full time Jewelry sales person to Store Manager in 3 years (that is tough to do).....and that put me managing right at 100 employees.... When ever I had competition I did whatever it took to out perform that person.....I would work more hours if I had to, but I would not allow myself to fail.   So....sometimes you have to do the work of 2 people if you want to get ahead.

  That has to be one of the funniest things I have heard today.....   Thank you Bamakid.....I needed that!

  and sometimes black males attack police officers.   and sometimes white males attack police offices.   and sometimes hispanic males attack police officers   So, which one was it this time?

  I thought we would look at the facts......   On average, local police forces kill 400 people every year in the Unites States, according to a seven-year FBI study.   About a fourth of those annual incidents — about 96 a year, or two every week — involve a white officer and a black victim, USA Today reported.   So, of all the officer shootings only 25% involve a white officer and a black victim...........   There was 11,078 gun involved homicides in 2013......96 involved a white officer and a black victim...that's  .86% of total homicides in the U.S......the 400 only make up 3.61% of all gun related homicides......   Statistics report, more than 90% of black murder victims are killed by other black people.   So, I have not heard any comments or post or tweets about the other 304 Non Black police shooting victims in 2013.   Why??   [Hidden Content]   [Hidden Content]   [Hidden Content]

let's ALL go!

Depends on if he went for his gun

I believe those charges were dropped. Fact check me..... I've also said we don't have enough facts to make a decision....just pointing out the FACTS

Tvc...... Am I committing a crime if I go to a convenience store with my friend and he robs the place, assaults an employee and we both walked out together?

Anything to give reasonable doubt...... Even the level headed posters seem to be blinded by all garbage that is being put out
