what are you saying...stay away from Kinko's if I get stopped and resist??

YesYNot says

If you resist arrest, a copy can kill you. You've been warned.

22   Y   2014 Dec 3, 10:35pm  

This about sums it up. Most libbys are only capable of thinking in one dimension...

YesYNot says

The only thing I inferred is that you meant 'yeah' when you wrote 'yea.'

23   Y   2014 Dec 3, 10:36pm  

So you started the theatrics because someone reworded a sign to reflect the truth...

YesYNot says

I called you a racist

24   Y   2014 Dec 3, 10:37pm  

Brown was on foot... another lie.

YesYNot says

Darren Wilson should not have killed Bike Brown.

25   Y   2014 Dec 3, 10:40pm  

Now this, I agree with.

Since the police have special powers that joe public does not, that allow them to shoot people under certain circumstances, for every police shooting the grand jury should be bypassed and a trial held to determine if the shooting was warranted.

If the officer is found guilty, the state should pay all legal bills for both sides.

If the officer is found innocent, the estate of the perp should pay all legal bills for both sides.
YesYNot says

DW should have gone to trial to determine his guilt or innocence.

why?? you don't trust cameras??

Barring video evidence

Did he deserve to die? Was lying on the ground face down repeating 'I can't breath.' too threatening for the 8 LEOs on scene?

The two situations were apples and oranges. The cops in NY were acting on "group think", and incapable of reading the obvious, Garner was not a threat anyone could see that. If you can't read people better than that you should not be a cop.

Situations are different, if they would have shot and killed Rodney King, I would have said yup righteous shoot.

This begs the question is O's legislation requiring body cameras on cops a good idea?

No cop who writes tickets for selling smokes would take on, much less approach, anyone that could in any way possibly be a threat. These kinds of maggots are the type to Taze people into cardiac arrest and then call in back up and shoot the perp when his eye moves.

HEAD SHOTS!, IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!

29   Y   2014 Dec 4, 1:12am  

smokes cause cancer. the perp was killing people.
case closed.

I learned that in 3rd grade when we were discussing american rivers...

FortWayne says

We learned that we are a divided nation

31   RWSGFY   2014 Dec 4, 2:16am  

We learned to not steal cigars, not to walk in the middle of the road and not to punch police officers who tell you to use sidewalk. But we kinda knew all these things already, so nothing new, really.

32   Tenpoundbass   2014 Dec 4, 3:41am  

... a good cop will wait to get shot by the perpetrator first then ask questions later.

and Michael Brown finally learned it the hard way...

I will say one thing for him, he had the decency to remove himself from the gene pool.

34   HydroCabron   2014 Dec 4, 3:51am  

Smell that libertarian disrespect for authority!

(At least I think it's there somewhere...)

"Cops... authority figures... so... so... sexy. Mmm."

The rest of Ferguson are slow learners. They still don't get it.

Thank God.

Those are the new rules. There is no way of telling if the poor innocent criminal wants to kill the cop unless he shoots first.

LOL. No one in Ferguson has ever been in there. Their career begins and ends in the streets.

That is VERY damning as to who creates this situation in the first place...

What about the library?

43   FortWayne   2014 Dec 5, 4:12am  

Jokes aside, this was still a tragedy. People getting killed by cops is not a good thing.

I got pulled over when I was riding my Kawasaki through the Mojave desert at about 140 MPH. The police converged on me and as soon as I saw the lights I pulled over and stopped.

They should be taking you straight to jail.

I don't think so, the Mojave desert? It was a residential neighborhood...

What kind of bike was that?

My understanding is if you are going more than 100mph or something like that, they take you straight to jail.

I too was not shot.

But I was young and acting stupid. Had I handled myself differently I probably would have had sore wrists at the minimum.

It's truly amazing that when you act civilized with police, you end up living.... There must be something to that...

Racist!

As a libertarian I strongly dislike the idea of police shooting anyone who doesn't bend over to their will. That's much more government authority than I like in my life.

I don't know what happened in Ferguson, but Eric Garner was murdered right on camera and police got away with it. We are just moving more and more toward becoming some fascist police state.

There is fault on both sides of this one.

But the overarching problem is that city of NY is charging exorbitant taxes on cigarettes. Other contributing factors are Minimum wage law, Davis Bacon laws, Affirmative Action, ridiculous licencing fees, ridiculous regulations, welfare, food stamps, section 8 housing, etc etc

I have always questioned if Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton were really preachers, since they
have no church.

When I heard Sharpton was a guest preacher at a nearby black church, I decided to check him out in person, and see what it was all about.

I sat down and the reverend came up to me -- I don't know why but maybe it was because I was the only white person in the church. He laid his hands on my hand and said: "By the will of Jesus the Lord All Mighty, and the will of God, you will walk today."

I told him I was not paralyzed. He came back and laid his hands on me again, and repeated the same thing. Again I told him there is nothing wrong with me.

After the sermon I stepped outside. Lo and behold, my car had been stolen!

They preach hate and racism. Church not required.

By the way, I hope you did not take the reverends advice and walked home. You would have lost your wallet too.

Re-distribution of wealth!

That's Ok. The money will be used for good purposes - drugs, alcohol, prostitutes and financing 7-11 robberies.

all these deaths due to resisted arrests.
solution: animal entrapment devices.
designed to safely subdue living flesh without harm.
every cop car should have a variety pack...
