And folks, if they carried bear spray it is over in seconds before any shot is needed. Bear spray works on polar bears so it will obviously stop a drunken crazed idiot. Best of it all is that it will not kill anyone.

Eyes get very watery, nose runs, they will be choking and coughing but a wash off with water and it is over. Perp can do nothing, LEO arrests him. Done.

Cops it seams are all to quick to shoot someone, but rarely is it called for. It can be prevented with Bear Spray.

Did you watch the video or read the article???

The police officer had to have facial reconstructive surgery.

Very misleading title. It should read: KCMO PD officer overpowered by drunk firefighter whom previously assaulted (and possibly strong-armed robbery) of a cab driver over fees.

Good shoot by cop. Good riddance to roid-rage drunk.

BTW....cop was unconcious when help arrived. Required surgery.

Here is picture of the cop. The front of his face looks like the back of Zimmerman's head.

The article specifically says he was wearing his police uniform.

Very misleading title.

The title was written by the firefighters union --

Have you ever tried to handle a drunk? Even the best trained cops can tell you it can be rough. Some drunks develop “Retard” strength and can throw people around like crazy.
I don’t blame the cop for shooting him...

and it went to the Grand Jury as well and they no billed

Coercive Elite versus Mundane. What do you think a Grand Jury is going to do?

I mean, Bill Clinton (Elite) lied to a Grand Jury. How many years did he spend in jail, again?

The Coercive Elite thugs who murdered Kelly Thomas were found "not guilty" by a Grand Jury.

Merkuns don't understand the nature of the paramilitary standing army that's overrun the United States. Perhaps we need to start educating FReepers about the evolution of the police in America from few and far between "law enforcement" constable-types before the 1830s, to a ubiquitous malicious paramilitary tax-feeder presence in every sphere of public life today.

The Founding Fathers didn't intend for this obscenity to happen.

Whatever you do don’t read the article or watch the video. Just continue in your ranting from thread to thread.

Perhaps not, but there are rules when arresting a citizen. I’m not sure if knees to the head are included.

As someone else has noticed, the final situation is a lot like the Trayvon Martin / George Zimmerman confrontation.

Actually, no.

The uncounted hordes of militarized American police are being specifically trained these days to "confront" the peasantry no matter where the peasants are or what they are doing.

The paramilitaries are also trained to "not let it go", because dozens of their brethren will show up like a pack of coon dogs to swarm over a scene of peasant resistance.

The FEO initiated the "confrontation". Zimmerman didn't initiate the confrontation with Saint Trayvon of the Holy Skittles.

Bad analogy. The Founding Fathers would be aghast at the swarms of Tacticool-clad gunthugs eating out the substance of the peasantry, and "confronting" them at every turn.

You never rebutted your lie about jogger girl (she ignored the Orifice) in the other thread.

Does that mean that the other side in a debate against you can make their own facts up, too?

It's a yes or no question, Uncle ChipDip.

I read the article. The Coercive Elite gunthug "confronted" the Mundane firefighter.

In peasant speak, "he started it".

Now, if a CCW Mundane pulled crap like that, he's going to prison. Period.

Odd that the King's Men in their Magic Blue Costumes are not subject to the same rules...

One of the rules of FR is to leave your disputes on the thread where it occurred and not carry it from thread to thread.

You don’t seem to be able to abide by that rule anymore than the screaming banshee could obey a traffic signal or a simple order to stop or a request for her name.

Why don’t you take another shot at that rule — I’ll bet you keep it if you try.

Odd. Then why did you post this to ME before I mentioned the other thread?:

Just continue in your ranting from thread to thread.

We have one Uncle Chip rule already: "I can lie, you can't".

Do we add a second Uncle Chip rule: "Do as I say, not as I do"?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....

By the way - you're deflecting from the fact that the off-duty gunthug (who was wearing his Official Intimidation Costume anyway) "confronted" the firefighter peasant in a move which would have gotten a CCW peasant prison time.

Why are we avoiding that uncomfortable fact, Uncle Chip?
