> I would love to petition them to purge our group of these undesirables. <
I would hope that such a purge never happens. Free Republic is, of course, a conservative site. But within that parameter, JimRob allows for a lot of give and take. I’m very grateful for that!
Please permit me to offer an example from my own experience here. I am a retired urban public high school teacher. And I’m proud of my profession. Like most of my colleagues, I tried hard to get difficult city kids on the right track. It was tough work.
Yet some folks here call all public school teachers bums and slackers. I’ll be honest with you, that always stung. But I never wanted any of those folks to disappear! Instead I would try to engage them, and point out where their thinking was wrong. Then they would hopefully learn something. And often in their responses I would learn something!
Bottom line, as I see it: Polite discussions are good. Purges, maybe not so good.
I agree when it comes to small town police and rural police etc. Urban city cops are anti gun, democrats and not a friend of the right.
“The median IQ in this place drops every day.”
Whatever you estimate the number of false-flag trolls to be, it’s a lot more than that.
Are they rioting yet?
Since when do they take basic facts into consideration
There are FReepers still white knighting for these thugs? Amazing. I wouldn’t do it even if the cop was actually to blame!
They should be glad we’re not Brazil (yet) where the cops pick up the 13-year-old black kid and execute him in the woods instead of taking him to jail for rape or whatever crime he did.
Of course there were/are some that voice dissatisfaction in how a police officer reacts to a situation where he only has seconds to make a life and death decision - I am not referring to these people at all. You know of whom I am speaking. You know that there are some that they relish any opportunity to dish on the police. You also know that not every one that posts here are true patriots but are plants from liberal groups. I’ve no doubt that we have AntiFas and BLMs here that live for any moment to throw doubt and dissension.
Yea, I’d love to see those pukes cancelled.
This forum is for certain a minority of freepers like me who sometime questions police actions
The law and order folks here simply don’t like opinions that differ from theirs
It’s always been like that here
When free republic was pro amnesty for illegals Wolf packs the behest of howlin and sinkspur roamed the forum demanding zots for those of us who disagreed
This place is a 80-90% echo chamber for pro cop
At least it sure starts that way....sometimes like Waco twin peaks or Houston old white couple slayings freepers learn more and opinion shifts
Just like Howlin
I mean precisely
Cat lady got bite....lol

You don’t read much here, do you . . .

I checked the previous thread about THIS story and didn’t see any posts from you there.
The point is that every story (and specific thread) has it’s nuances and everyone here comes from a different set of life experiences so painting with a broad brush does nothing but instigate.
Thank you. About time someone said it.
Undoubtedly the 13 year-olds mother will be crying on camera as she thinks of the millions that will flow her way. Why was a 13 year old hanging around with a known criminal at 2 am? They may have been shooting at cars. He ran down an alley with a gun in his pocket, then turns around, maybe after ditching the gun. I don’t think it any loss to have one less 13 year-old gangbanger in the world.
>>>Thank you. About time someone said it.<<<
You are welcome, FRiend. Unfortunately, however, there are still a few that are boisterously proclaiming their right to do it. Maybe their mind will be changed when they watch an officer gunned down while trying to protect them, or be “forced” to thank the officer that pulled their daughter out of a wrecked car and administered to her the breath of life long enough for the medics to save her life.
Or not . . .
BEST POST OF THE DAY ON FR!
Yawn. Wake me up when the left gives a **** about blacks killing blacks or blacks terrorizing Asians.
“to purge our group of these undesirables”
Man, there is a lot of that going around on all sides.
I don’t worry about it. I think everyone should have a say and be free to do so without retribution here or elsewhere. Btw, with me it’s not a matter of pro-cop or anti-cop. I like to look at the evidence at hand and make an honest impartial comment or assessment.
I wonder what this cop thinks about Geraldo’s idea of carrying his sidearm on his weak side.
