November 25, 201411 yr Author Right, because there's no chance that Holmes didn't have a weapon tucked in his body armor or something similar (maybe even a remote weapon) that he was ready to use to get one or more last kills once he was approached. Please stop. This comparison you are trying to make is just bad.
November 25, 201411 yr Author What I'm saying: If there were ever a police officer who had killed a suspect who'd just shot 70 people and he were prosecuted, you know that plenty of this board would go crazy (and I think you all now know that I'd be right there on your side with you). Given that, I don't know why it's a big deal for me to say that I wouldn't have cared if they shot the guy in Aurora if there was a 1% chance, real or perceived, that he was a threat. Again clearly you aren't reading my posts because that's not where my issue is. Edited November 25, 201411 yr by PurplePride92
November 25, 201411 yr Ferguson mayor is asking for the National Guard. I really don't understand why they weren't deployed to begin with. It's not like nobody thought this would happen. At the very least, they should have been positioned close by.
November 25, 201411 yr Author I really don't understand why they weren't deployed to begin with. It's not like nobody thought this would happen. At the very least, they should have been positioned close by. I believe they were activated...Or I thought they were

November 25, 201411 yr So they had this decision at 2 PM but waited until nighttime to release it? I don't understand that.
November 25, 201411 yr Which is the least dangerous as it is posed here? A large man rushing you when you've called for back up, you are armed, and he isn't? A 12 year old reaching for what a caller described as "probably a toy"? A lunatic in body armor whose just shot 70 people indiscriminately who appears to be acting as though he's surrendering but probably isn't thinking like a normal person? Well the large man rushing me is dangerous. If it looked like a gun and someone reached for it, that'd be dangerous to me. And a man surrendering isn't that dangerous to me. Now if he made a sudden move or reached for something, that's dangerous. But surrendering isn't dangerous.
November 25, 201411 yr Idiots rioting and attacking police car. I'd tear gas the heck out of them. Where's the Comedian when we need him?
November 25, 201411 yr Per scanner' date=' someone attempting to break into city hall of Ferguson[/quote'] Now, as an officer, how does all this make you feel? I know of one EPO in there and I would think more than twice about it, but the officers do not have the choice. Wouldn't want to be in their shoes.
November 25, 201411 yr More than 100 shots fired in this area on Fox News. This is like something from another country. Hard to believe it's in the heart of America
