Dorner?

Are you referring to the women whose truck got shot up? I don’t think the police ‘got away’ with it, as much as they ‘bought her off’.

Are you referring to when they torched the cabin? IIRC, they at least have plausible deniability and claim the teargas canisters ignited the fire.

So no, I get no ‘clue’ from Dorner.

And I really don’t recall an instance where a lone cop goes into a low income housing area, and...in the middle of the freaking street!?!...guns down a completely harmless victim. Deliberately. In cold blood. When his hands were up. And his back was turned.

Maybe you can fill me in on a ‘clue’ when you find an example of that happening.

The story that everybody is rioting about just flat does not make sense or pass the smell test of being reasonable in any way.

“Are you referring to the women whose truck got shot up? I don’t think the police ‘got away’ with it, as much as they ‘bought her off’.”

Yes the women, and the white guy too. And yes, the officers got away with it. The government bought ‘bought her off’. That is also an inappropriate term, as they DID owe their victims.

But the cops in question behaved very unreasonable, and the officers faced no consequences to their unreasonable actions. Now what kind of message do you think that sends to other cops? “Screw up, we’ll cover you.”

The clue is that there are examples of cops killing and harming people under unreasonable situations. You assume cops will act reasonable. Why? No one is holding them to reasonable standards. Thus, unreasonable events are becoming more common. Cops don’t fear making mistakes.
