Yet another shinning example of the boys in blue..

[CHIZZY]

you two should meet at the bikeracks after school.  

The guy brought attention to himself and if he didn\'t put up a struggle in the first place he would have never been shot or stun gunned.

and on that note, boz sums up the entire response this thread should have ever received

I always get a kick out of people who fight with the cops, or run from the cops.

It\'s like dude, it\'s the freaking police... do you expect to win?

I mean, they have helicopters and shit.

im sorry luckee, were you saying something?

Lets keep this on a decent level as it has been. Dont resort to those types of comments.

i like how you get mad when yer out in the open and cant hide behind yer cocky attitude

Once again, how do you know what Im feeling now? Im not mad about anything except one of my cars being out of commission.

theres no sense of being when yer not making a difference

How do you know what difference Im make or attempt to make? Me posting about bad cops is making a difference. If I can open up at least another set of eyes...Im happy with that. I also take part in protest\'s and petitons against police abuse.

it can be very painfull and frustrating

yes it can

That has little merrit b/c Im not applauding the drunks actions. Yes he should have been dealt with..but shot..hardly..in the back at that.


PS..thanx for opening this back up.

come on now, you know me better then to assume yer = you personally

99% of my statements are rhetorical

perhaps the cop did intend to shoot him with his real gun, and meant to shoot him in the leg to incapacitate him, but he missed, and the whole tazer thing is a coverup

violently resisting arrest (expecially while intoxixated) WILL get you hurt

the guy had it coming

My whole point in any of this was that regardless of my feelings for bad cops..good copps..bad doctors..good teachers..bad gas station attendants.....

The guy needs to be fired..and at the least..suspended without pay pending him being retrained to handle situations better. Even a cop..omen..well almost anyway..can agree with that.

Im just too pessimistic to believe it was a "true" mistake. Espescially seeing and reading the things I have about the bad guys. I have never heard of a mistake of this caliber by a good guy.

Can I interupt to say congratulation to Luckee, you\'ve just past the 4000 post mark!

sure ya have

we just dont remember them, they dont stick out as much

gratz on 4k!

I doubt that b/c if that was the case..they would go from a good guy to a bad guy in my book I also think that part of my feelings on this extend to my belief that everyone needs to take responsibility for their capacity. Even in situations as rape.(another can of worms if you are interested.)

BTW..thanx fella\'s..I didnt even realize I have gotten up to that point. I guess argueing and deabting really takes a toll..lol Least I can proudly say most of that has come from actually having something to say rather than just "lols" and the likes

mm, you misinterpreted my comment.  I was saying that cops have the unfortunet fate of having one of the jobs that can \'cause serious injury.  They also have the responsibility of controling peoples fate.  Not many jobs allow you to legally kill someone at your own discression.

And I think people are getting a bit touchy on this one, basically it seems to me that you all agree, but yet still disagree.

IMO it seems as though luckee and mm have the same basic idea, "the cop made a mistake, one way or the other (he knew it was a gun, or he didn\'t know it was a gun).  Either way he shot the guy in the back, end of story.  In any department you will get your ass reamed for making the bad decicion or mistaking a firearm, for a non-lethal.  So no matter what the truth is, the cop was in the wrong.

Also the guy was in the wrong, obviously for resisting.  But I don\'t think that one should even be debated, so I\'ll skip it.

And if anyone thinks I\'m a cop-hater, you might just want to check my profile

No wonder people make programs like the bill to take the piss out of cops.
