Oh well, I tried to be a good little liberal for a change, but it just ain't happening here.

If you dress like a thug, don’t be surprised when the police treat you like a thug.

Gee, I feel just terrible,TERRIBLE about this.
Sometimes there’s nothing like a good belt to keep you alive. (Pun possibly intended)

"Douglas Hobson, an attorney for Vincent Smith Sr., said police training should better prepare officers to make split-second judgments to prevent shooting suspects who pose no threat."You've got to know there is a gun or something that is going to hurt someone. If these kinds of excuses justify something like that, then we've got a long way to go," he said."
Yep, he donated to Republican causes last year, I can just tell....

The 'droopy-pants' / 'show-your-underware' fad has to be stupidest creation ever.
What's the point of walking around holding your pants up with one hand?
To: Abathar
What’s the world coming to when you can’t sprint away from a burglary without being shot at?

We need to get this info out to the gangsta-rap culture quickly! It will be so much easier for the cops to know who is the bad guy and who is packing.
Tight pants = criminal with gun

I think being shot at once by the police would have convinced me to stop running?

"Police officers have to make a lot of split-second decisions," said city attorney Donald Levinson. "The law does not say you have to wait until someone shoots at you (to act)."
No, no now - the law must be changed so that a police officer must wait until he himself has been shot before he can react.
That's the only way to avoid violating someone's civil rights, don'tcha know.

You got me, but I bet at least 1 cop in every city collared a perp because he tried to run away and ended up tripping with his pants around his feet. At least there is some social benefits to the dumb-ass look I guess.

“The law does not say you have to wait until someone shoots at you (to act).”
Does that apply to me or only the police? There would be a whole lot fewer of these punks if open season with a bounty were declared.

“Randolph said that after Smith scaled an 8-foot fence and dropped to the ground, he turned toward the pursuing officer and again reached into his pants. Randolph fired again and struck Smith behind the left ear, killing him instantly.”
He turned toward the cop and was shot behind the ear? OooooK.

Maybe he was burglarizing the house so he could get money to buy a belt....
