I agree but not to unrealistic or unreasonable standards. Therein lies the rub. People expect miracles and Hollywood bullshit under great pressure / stress
Which is what they got from cop shooting young woman actively trying to knife her rivals. LEO chose correctly of 2 hostiles engaged in assault and prevented harm to would be victim. All in split second decision/action.
Yet was ragged in public discourse as unprofessional, perhaps racist murderer.
@Californiagrown deleted “here”.
Was it on here? What was the argument against the cop?
The loons pushing completely unrealistic expectations have never been in any sort of violent confrontation EVER yet they want to enact policy… Yea that’s brilliant
They NEVER think things through to their logical conclusions… The results will be more dead black citizens and far fewer arrests of violent criminals.
Interestingly, Don Lemon defended the cop.
I was shocked and pleasantly surprised about that. It goes to show that even the wokest mind is not beyond redemption if the facts are knocking at the door loudly and repeatedly enough.
That guy is a monumental c#nt. I was shocked to see that.
I think these should be classified as synonyms in the Urban Dictionary.
Yes. Redundant, too. Such impressionable dimwits
That c#cksucker Lebron still hasn’t apologized. Weak piece of shit
I have to agree with this. A man owns his mistakes. Public or private.
The irony is, of course, that LeBron probably believes he’s doing the right thing. Either that or he is fully aware that he is not and doing it anyway. Because money and extra China money.
Michael Jordan, by comparison, probably shifted the opinion of truly racist whites and white families of the 1980’s and 90’s FAR more than any modern woke activist, as did every other high-achieving minority who nearly everyone agreed was awesome. Athletes, your plumber, musicians, Bill Cosby before we knew he was a rapist, your doctor, actors, the great dude you work next to, Mr. T. The list of names is too long to list here.
MJ made things better without beating the country over the head with idiotic woke messaging featuring a staggering lack of self-awareness.
This is liberal agenda lol.
Sure thing. I spouted off plenty in the thread so there’s more above and below, but here’s my kinda bad screed about the subject.
That’s mutually true without a doubt.
I grew up when cops were spoken of in the same breath as firemen, teachers, doctors, paramedics and every other non-lawyerly noble profession.
Why is it that only the most basic government function of providing security and helping the most urgently in need is being expelled from that pantheon of admirable professions?
Everyone makes mistakes, even serious ones, including that whole list.
I think I know what a ram is, but please explain hooligan, etc. I think I speak for all political stripes here.
Halligan tool.
Hooligan is basically a pry bar type of tool for the assistant breacher to use in certain situations.
Yea… Post 9/11 we were America’s saints. The Mike Brown incident changed everything. Police need to do better. Better training. Better people skills. Better decision making. Unfortunately nobody demands the same from citizens.
Now we’re all racist psychotics that gun down innocent black men at random apparently.
I grew up on Motown, Charlie Pride, Geto Boys, The Jeffersons… Lifelong friends with black folks. I look down on racist cretins no matter their hue.
Sadly these miserable bottom feeders are only moving us backwards.
Thank you for the source.
It hasn’t changed my vested beliefs pertaining to the election, though it was an interesting thread to transverse.
If you see this action as murder, then I question every point you have tried to make. Had the woman been allowed to storm through the door, then that would have told everyone else that it was okay to go forward and wreak havoc.
I’m with @mnben87 , both parties push lies. The media pushes false narrative. Ignorant folks doing and saying stupid things will always make the news and get portrayed as the norm. Dumb people will believe what they are being fed.
I don’t like what the left is doing right now, but I surely didn’t like what the right was doing previously either.
