July 13, 201610 yr Author Those are conversations that go back and forth, people supporting both sides. I see no one arguing that what the inmate did to the cop's home and family is justified. You're stance on all this is evident. Because the officer was the victim, we get "well what's there to say? He's a victim." When some think the officers are in the wrong, we get hundreds of post about. My point is, folks only care when the cop MIGHT be in the wrong. No one gives a damn when cops are being hunted.
July 13, 201610 yr Author When a cops spine was crushed by a concrete block, about all the discussion we got was about folks bringing their kids, seriously?
July 13, 201610 yr Author "Your perceived side?" I'm guessing this was an attempt to try and make this about racism, so I'll clarify, Deuce seems to support BLM but only if it's peaceful. I support Law Enforcement when it's lawful. We have to accept that Parts of BLM are bad and parts of LE are bad. Hope this circumvents whatever you were attempting.

I support Law Enforcement when it's lawful. We have to accept that Parts of BLM are bad and parts of LE are bad. Hope this circumvents whatever you were attempting. I was "attempting" clarification since it seemed like a pretty strong statement. I think we're all on the side of "right," correct?
July 13, 201610 yr I think the story below hurt BLM worse than the one in the OP. Officers locate a female robbery suspect. The suspect pulls a knife and runs. Officers try use a taser on the suspect but it is ineffective. Suspect eventually charges at officers. An Officer shoots and kills the suspect... A review board found the shooting was justified. BLM protests the shooting. It's like there are NO justified shootings in the eyes of BLM when a black person is involved. They're not interested in justice. They're interested in arresting all cops involved in these shootings, no matter what an investigation shows. Amid protests, panel finds that LAPD did not violate deadly force rules in shooting of black woman in South L.A. - LA Times

It hurts their cause and credibility.
July 13, 201610 yr It's like many on here have said from the beginning and HB and Clyde reiterated: You can't claim that every shooting is unjustified. BLM has only hurt themselves because of this. I recall many on here said the same thing after Ferguson. Most agreed that the Brown kid was not the one to hang your injustice hat upon. It hurts the ability of anyone to speak out when there is a definite issue of injustice that needs to be debated.

TB&G is exactly right that other threads in here take off when people are having intense disagreement and duke it out. Threads on police use of force often revolve around justifiably or racial issues, which do cause pretty intense disagreements. No one on this website is going to defend or justify what happened here and I don't think there is any doubt the perp will be caught and locked up. What is there to debate? And why would you equate people not arguing about this to people not caring?
July 13, 201610 yr You're wise. I have been called a lot of things but that's the first time I've been called wise...
