WHAT do you agree with that I said?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That cops are bad and knifemen are good.

[doorgunner69]

You are a freaking liar if you claim I posted that.

These are not the boots to lick but whatever. I would rather me and mine not have to deal with low IQ gun and badge types.

The msm did not convince me of a damn thing. Individual Officers and collective Officers did. Officers like the one in Georgia who threw a flash bang grenade into a baby crib occupied by a sleeping infant when they entered the wrong house looking for someone in Georgia. Officers like those who broke the old lady with dementia collar bone the then laughed about doing it and bragging about how tough they were on tape. Officers like those who put the woman it the back of the SUV that they parked on the Railroad tracks and the train run over. And last but not least, the Officers in Florida who lied on and arrested the blind man. They convinced me that I was their enemy.

I knew nothing about this case, so I searched for and watched various videos with an unbiased eye, including an extended and surprisingly balanced treatment by a local news program (”9NEWS”). The incident was very odd. The deceased was obviously having a mental health crisis, but it did not seem to pose any immediate threat to others (though he should not have been driving, but he reported the vehicle was stuck so that wasn’t a threat either).

The victim was very childlike for 22, but in the grip of paranoia and delusion. His parents’ claim of him having no prior mental health problems seems dubious. If true, then he was under the influence of some drug(s) — people don’t suddenly act like this, babble about skinwalkers, and show their heart-shaped rocks to police like a small child.
Various police spent 70 minutes trying to calm him down and gain confidence, with what appeared to be success. Guy is in his vehicle the entire time. One or two cops were aggressive and caused 100% of the violence, starting it all by smashing in a window to force the victim out of the car.
They were obviously in YOU SHALL OBEY NOW mode and created a situation in which the only path led to violence and death. That is not an effective way to deal with terrified nuts — they will predictably panic.

The other ten cops behaved reasonably from what was shown. Impatience by really one guy caused the loss of the kid’s life and will cost the department/City countless hours and millions of dollars. Communities need to have plans and resources in place for this sort of incident. It would be much cheaper than using the old ultra-violence. Verdict: Wrongful death.

It would be easier to just eat the Kiwi Parade Gloss out of the can.

I agree. Most of the cops on scene were patient and two wanted to beat someone or kill them. Which they did.

No doubt the patient cops will get in trouble for not joining in on the kill.

5th comment in, defending the standing army the Founders warned us about.

One can only hope the question of whether they passed their required pre-employment psychiatric screening is ever asked.

I wouldn't be surprised if that information is never held on to. Once people start figuring it out and sending out subpoenas left and right for it, departments will stop holding that information, and I wouldn't be surprised if they push state legislatures to stop requiring it altogether.
