No, I judged the situation with intellectual honesty, ever mindful that the Lord hates acquitting the guilty and convicting the innocent (Proverbs 17:15). On the other hand, your comments here bear false witness. Oh, and I had already read up on and watched the video of that case of police shooting the woman. Altogether, including in how you view that situation, you try to promote a liberal view of the police here which isn’t truthful or righteous. There are times the police should be truthfully and righteously criticized, but without engaging in the liberal demonization of the police that’s meant to tear at society’s foundations, a la Saul Alinksy, and young people are especially targeted with this view of them.

Oh boy. We brought what the lord hates into the conversation. Well, what about Thou shall not kill? (6 Commandments 10) How do you square that with your rootin' tootin' gun slingin' cops? Do you think he hates acquitting the guilty more than murdering the innocent?

Okay, all joking aside. The woman in the video, presuming we're talking about the same one... I will concede that you have probably studied it very intently and know all the relevant facts leading up to the policemen's actions. I have not. I saw all I needed to see. They shot an unarmed lady and made her crawl to them while bleeding out, and once she made it to them, crying, they didn't even render medical assistance. Unless you call telling her to put pressure on the hole in her that they put there. Who knows, maybe she was a bad person. But holy hell what the fuck is the matter with those cops!?! Those are not the type of people who should be cops.

As for the liberal demonization of the police... well, I am neither a liberal nor demonizing the police as a whole. Just the ones who murdered Shaver, and more recently those two who shot the lady in the video. I do not fear the police, nor do I think we are actually living in a police state, but we're moving in that direction. The war on drugs and the war on terrorism have modified the behavior of the police. Policing for profit, no-knock predawn raids, militarization of the police are some examples, and if it were up to me, I'd put a stop to that before it leads to cops shooting unarmed people in their homes, their cars and in hotels. Oh wait...
