actually he isn't
This genetic throwback sort of puts the lie to all people "are created equal" doesn't it?
Semper Fi
Do you read the english language?
A weapons buying sting. The Founders are rolling in their graves.
He couldn't have been more wrong and that's why his comment was removed.
Amen to that, these fools need to be executed for murder.
I am 100% right, undercover stings put our LEO's in unnecessary danger and encourage criminal behaviour. These guys would be alive loving thier families and protecting the folks if these policies weren't enforced.
Comment removed, ignorance noted.
OK, I'm stupid. How was he wrong?
I didn't say they deserved it. He said what happened was the consequence of setting up a sting. He didn't say any more.
Take it up with the Mods, if you're around long enough.
I guess posts without profanity, personal attacks, racism condemning violence are also censored if it doesn't support the dangerous (obvious by the outcome of this particular operation) policy the top brass enforce i.e. undercover stings. Creating an opportunity for criminal activity in order to prevent criminal activity.
Oh well.
Maybe I will be around maybe I won't. I still stand by what I said. The criminals who murdered the under cover detectives should get capitol punishment.
Undercover stings are bad policy. Creating crime to prevent crime, playing the part of a criminal, and dealing with violent criminals by doing what they do leads to more crime, a loss of civil liberties and violent ends to the careers of good cops.
If that's too offensive for people to read, I'm sorry. Some of the quasi racist comments on this thread are offensive too but I'm not going to tattle tale. I can handle being offended, it's part of life.
Yes, I read and understand the English language well. Mind you, it is much easier for me to read and understand something that has been articulated well.
You obviously feel that I misinterpreted something about your post. To me it seemed that you were blaming the cops for getting killed and you minimized the responsibility of the accused killer.
What part of your post did I misunderstand?
They'll be sentenced to 25 years to life. Which in New York means they'll have their first parole hearing in 8 years. And if not granted parole the first time, will be granted the second or third time.
I agree with your statement about capitol punishment but not much else. Stings are a valid part of law enforcement and this murderer was no choir boy. I don't get your meaning on the tattle tale bit so I won't comment.
The entire post, unfortunately.
It was not the fault of the cops that died. It was, in part, the fault of the policy of undercover sting operations. These good men were put in an unnecessary and dangerous situation by the top brass. They were just doing thier jobs, of course. The murderers are at fault for killing them.
The reason this situation existed at all is a result of dangerous and unnecessary policy i.e. undercover sting operations. Law enforcement should enforce the law and not break the law. Creating crime to prevent crime results in an increase in crime, LEO's walking a dangerous tightrope, violence and death to many of the officers ordered into these situations and a continual degredation of Liberty.
In short it's cheating and in all situations when you cheat you eventually lose. The bigger the stakes the bigger the loss. In this case the stakes were very high and these unfortunate men had to pay that price. I detest it, and I wish these good cops were still alive to protect and serve.
I hope this was more clear for you and a better articulation. In my censored post I was using generalities aimed at the entire nationwide practice using the obvious failure of stings in this particular tragedy as a springboard into a more general discussion of the failures of undercover stings as a form of law enforcement.
This is a federal trial, thank goodness.
It's about time.
I assume Kidster is a liberterian and probably believes that that most criminal laws should be abolished, however his insensitive post implying that the police officers caused their own deaths at the hands of a murderer by merely doing their law enforcement job was totally out of bounds.
They can't execute this guy fast enough.

I disagree; I vote for agonizingly slow.
