It's not going to happen in my small, central Texas town and I'm not going anywhere it might happen...

If I and/or my loved ones were accosted by a large, intimidating, dangerous crowd in a public place we would defend ourselves with the maximum force we have available.

Might be time to consider a KelTec PMR30 for those living in high risk areas...

Having watched the video of the actual shooting, the citizens of Chicago have every right to be demanding answers in the wake of that incident. As I said at the start of this episode, I have no idea what spurred Officer Van Dyke to do what he did. Perhaps he's a racist. Perhaps he's just an easily panicked individual who kept on firing long after he should have stopped and should never have been given a badge and a gun in the first place. Either way, after a taser was requested but not available, facing down a suspect high on PCP and armed with a knife who had vandalized some vehicles and was staggering away from the scene, if Van Dyke had stopped after the first shot or two he might have had a case to defend himself. But firing more than a dozen rounds into a suspect who was already down on the ground means he has to face the music over his actions.

Facts are pesky things, so here they are because CLEARLY this "reporter" didn't watch the video and CLEARLY this reporter doesn't have any critical thinking skills either:

1. Officer Van Dyke rolled up on the scene and was there SIX SECONDS before opening fire.

2. Other officers had been present on the scene FAR LONGER than Van Dyke was. That's evident in all five video's which have now surfaced.

3. None of the other officers present viewed McDonald as an imminent threat to their lives. They were not firing at him, there was no physical altercation in progress --- none of that.

So Officer Van Dyke rolls up on the scene and in SIX SECONDS, with other officers present determines his own life is in danger and he opens fire, emptying his high capacity 9mm magazine into McDonald, including firing at him when he's down on the ground.

I think it's obvious to any logical, reasonable person that Van Dyke committed murder here. Unless Van Dyke gets an all white jury who decides jury nullification is a good thing (like the all black OJ Simpson jury did......) there's no way Van Dyke isn't going to be convicted of murder.

Here's my question, which I don't hear ANYONE else asking: why aren't the other officers who were present charged as accessories to murder for FAILING to stop Van Dyke? They stood by and did NOTHING.

This entire situation pains me greatly. I'm as ardent of a law enforcement supporter as you'll find here on FR. I believe each and every one of these cases must be examined individually and charges should stand or fall on the merits of those cases.

Still, this one is crystal clear that it's MURDER. There's just no other logical, rational, reasonable way to look at it that's credible IMO.

2. I believe that police are trained to empty their weapons

I know several County Sheriff's near me. What they've told me is that they're trained to use as much reasonable force as necessary to protect themselves against an attack, and subdue a perp while arresting them.

If you don't put up any resistance, chances are very, very high you'll not end up face-planted onto the pavement, on your stomach, with a knee in your lower back exerting excruciating pain while being arrested. If everyone remains calm, everyone goes home uninjured as it should be.

On the other end of the spectrum, the minute you physically touch an officer in any way, your ass is going down to the pavement hard and you'll be in the back of a cruiser faster than your mind can process it. Go for their weapon or make a move like you're going for their weapon and you're going to get a ride to the morgue.

Lunge at a police officer with any form of weapon, and that's suicide by cop. Trust me on this: you won't find a single law enforcement officer who's happy about a suicide by cop situation. Not one.

Is there any doubt that Soros and our own government are backing and most likely giving this movement marching orders? If you’ve been paying attention it’s as if Obama is following the Hitler playbook as there are so many parallels its frightening.

Ask George Soros about this. It’s his money that is driving this.

When you shop on the internet, you have to open a YouTube video of BLM protesters yelling at you.

. They are shutting down the businesses which employ the few of their neighbors who can still manage to find jobs. Rather than trying to fix an ailment of society, they are helping to tear it down.

Their protests are an assault on aggregate sales revenue, which has a negative effect on aggregate savings,which lowers aggregate productive expenditure, which lowers demand for labor, which leads to less employment or lower money wage rates, or both.So libtards end up with another perversity of result, where their actions hurt their own kind.

Fanning the flames of hate is more important than justice for Laquan McDonald.

That kind of BLM crap won’t fly around here. It wouldn’t end well for the savages.

The stores should sue the money behind the organization. Would that be George “Simon Barsinister” Soros?

Am I alone in finding it amusing that people who will kill each other over a pair of basketball shoes and who abort babies without guilt want to claim the high moral ground and place blame on the whites whose taxes fund their welfare and EBT?

I’m trying to read Peter Kreeft’s book, Socratic Logic. Hey, I made it through the introduction but only to find that there’s a short test at the end which I have no idea how to get through so will have to read it again. But - what’s the point in learning basic logic 101 when there are all these folks who are approaching classic logic as a white male construct. Sigh.
