Welcome to the world of law-abiding citizens, law enforcement, those same people you gleefully arrest, vilify, and prosecute for defending themselves against violent criminals. How's it feel?
A perfect example is the World Trade Center. The video shows the planes striking both buildings and clearly shows the collapse beginning on the floors they struck. Yet, there are people out there saying the government blew up the buildings, which begs the question for them: How did they know what floor to plant the explosives on?
Exactly! Give the morons what they want. They can go all mad max on each other I don’t care.
And Dirty Harry was always in trouble with PR
of corse he didn’t care. And that’s the difference
If Wilson would just do a ‘personnel is for...’ pr so, it would be better
For him, anyway. He’s already screwed
Didn’t this sort of happen to Detroit? Look how well that turned out.
What’s said here applies equally to CCW permit holders. If you are a white man legally carrying a firearm and you are attacked by a black man, as was officer Wilson or neighborhood watch Zimmerman, and you defend yourself, before the “system” is through with you, your family will be made destitute and homeless from attorney fees, and you’ll wish you had just taken your a$$whipping and hope he didn’t decide to kill you.
In the country we now live in, if you think you need a gun to go there, then don’t go there. Nothing good can come from an encounter with the “privileged” race.
Once it got started, and they’d believed the “eye-witness” who claimed Brown was shot in the back, no. Nothing “the system” could do would convince them otherwise (or so they would pretend for the sake of “the cause”).
If the initial media reports of police shootings had involved video from the officer’s body camera, instead of dubious witness testimony, this would never have become a cause celebre with the left and race-grievance industry. In fact, the only analogous incidents which would if there were always body camera video are the ones that we FReepers also decry as police over-reach and thuggery, and these would be fewer in number since cops would know they are on video.
“How many will lay down their badge and their career and walk away?
Probably none.”
I hope that’s true. I’m not sure we would like the affirmative-action “replacement” officers that would take their place.
If Ferguson produced a video of the attack that didn’t fit the narrative, they would just dismiss it as HIStory. And the MSM would not show the GG attacking Wilson.
These riots didn’t happen in a vacuum. As in the Trayvon case, Holder’s Justice Department sent paid agitators to organize what we saw. CNN and the other alphabets were complicit.
What we saw was a tribute to O’s ability to organize mobs while supposedly disavowing them.
And its a reminder that as long as people look to government to make their lives better, they will always be cannon fodder ripe for manipulation.
What worries me, is that a cop will hesitate to react, given what has happened in Ferguson, and we’ll be attending the funeral of a fallen law enforcement officer.
As I said, white cops simply won’t work in black majority areas.
Not worth it. They’ll lynch you just for doing your job.
After Darren Wilson, no white cop in this country wants to go through that ordeal.
Dead thug, raise holy hell.
Hyperbole. Not usually. The race baiters jumped on this, just like they tried to ruin the Duke lacrosse players, Sarah Palin and anyone else who they don't like. It's not just cops who should fear these people.
Body cameras solve nothing. They simply provide more ammunition for the enemy lawyers and race baiters as every single word is parsed, every voice inflection, every stance, every shot one by one analyzed. You’re deluded if you think body cams would have changed anything here.
What the cop learns is that proactive activity is to be completely avoided. Answer calls, w write nice reports, but basically let them run wild.
Cam or no cam.
It would be much more useful to have body and full time office webcams with sound on our political leaders.
“Not only are body cam’s being pushed but other less lethal weapons.”
Yeah, that was Whorealdo’s meme last night on FNC. On FNC, Fair & Balanced often means listening to a POS!
Oh. . And when a body cam fails, it’s automatically a cover up. Cams will solve everything. Because we all know that when faced with reality the black community apologizes and makes amends. Please. .
Thats why I gave up on Fox. Their idea of "fair and balanced" is forcing me to listen to some screamer.
Body cameras won’t solve this particular problem. Liberals disregard facts and evidence, even utterly conclusive evidence because of their basic belief that Truth and Fact are mental constructs. If they don’t fit they don’t exist.
