It doesn’t matter. If you know someone wants to be killed by a cop, and how would you know this by the way, and they point a gun at you or come at you with a knife, are you going to react differently than you would otherwise? The answer is no. You’re going to let someone shoot or stab you because you don’t want to give them the satisfaction of having you kill them?
You mentioned suicide by cop. Typically a knife or gun will be the weapon of choice but you could substitute anything that could be a weapon, such as a car, axe, baseball bat or boiling water.
That’s not how I see it. I can see that, but not at worst. Did you slow down the video to see if she did throw the pot?
I saw her cower and profusely apologize very quickly, ducking down and behaving pretty darn submissively and the guy was still yelling at her and pointing the gun. I felt uncomfortable watching that. My first time watching I saw it pretty close to how it seems you do.
But I scrolled some Youtube comments and saw someone say to slow mo it around 10:40 and yeah, she did throw it.
I can’t see how she could throw it out of confused panic or reflex. I would need some help to process that - to me it just doesn’t compute. Unless
She did plan to get shot, temporarily reflexed into ducking and apologizing (confused panic), and then remembering what she wanted and realizing it was her chance and then taking it
Confused, panicked, then very angry, something like “god damn, this fucker just commanded I pick it up and now he’s commanding I put it down - fuck him.” I can mentally process how anger can build up in a flash and she could throw it like that.
Suicide by cop wasn’t my original wording, that was zecarlos, but I repeated it a few times. I picked up on what seemed like an obsession or preoccupation with martyrdom like right away. She emphasized the likelyhood that she might be shot soon by them. I think a person could do better of avoiding that, if it were her real intention, but mental illness or something could explain that away.
I’m not sure, but it makes the most sense to me to see that she intended to be killed for preaching.
I still think the officer is an actor and not a pure reactor who could have done better in a few ways at least. The phrase “suicide by cop” almost makes him sound like an inhuman tool - which he isn’t. He did seem a bit crazy when he yelled at her to drop the pot even after shooting her three times, but adrenaline can do that I guess. I don’t know how much of it his stances were fueled by fear vs ego or anything else and I can see a bit of either or both
The Venn diagram of on duty cop committing murder and a person attempting to become a victim of police brutality would have some overlap and this seems to me to belong in that area of overlap
It seems that way to me and I also think that’s the best way to look at it. I cannot think of a more healing way for America to frame it.
I guess my starting point is that neither party is usually completely innocent and neither is either party completely guilty. What I’ve shared is the most balanced view I can muster between the two - which might be a way of creating a better truth later than arriving at the one that’s here and now
You’re the one who made that claim about her, not me. I was talking about de-escalation and giving various scenarios where it won’t work. You latched onto suicide as her motive. It makes sense as your death cult adores suicide. Heh.
@JarlC56 Hey Castoli. Have you ever considered the possibility that you don’t know shit about fuck?
I know both of the cops who were first through the door when my town got shot up by some lunatic a year ago. The woman who pulled the picture of the guy shared all over the news had to listen to her neighbors dying while she pulled the security footage to get the photo out ASAP, and she didn’t fucking do that to protect the governor she despises or the rich people in town.
I’ll say it really slowly so your rotten brain can process it.
I don’t think you’re going to get what you want. Everyone knows you’re a troll so you might consider creating a new username and coming back a little less heavy handed. Wait at least a week before you make it about the Jews.
I go to college, a lot of college students sound like Castoli (although Castoli is in his 40’s)
My twin recently had to read through a vomit inducing essay written by a Kenyan lawyer who essentially said “anyone who complains about non western culture is racist! Female genital mutilation might be wrong to the westerners but that is their CULTURE! Criticising it is racist!”
He went on to demonise the west extensively and spoke relatively highly of muslim countries. To my brothers suprise most of the students sucked up to the teacher, saying the reading was “revolutionary” in changing their subjective ways of thinking
These are the future lawyers, doctors and politicians of my country. My brother is a law student, top 5% of his class at one of the most prestigious universities. He may be given free scholarship to study at Cambridge, Oxford etc… and these universities are parroting this shit
Why does a lawyer need to know about social/gender studies? Shouldn’t they be focusing on… the law…?
I’m thinking of switching to his university for a decent science degree. My university also parrots this shit but in my exercise physiology degree I’m not exposed to all that much although there was one funny experience I had last year
My teacher went on about immigrants eating cats and jokes, saying it was something that Trump said. I indifferently say “Oh, I lived there for seven years!”
And my professor responds “Oh… thank GOD you got out!” Little does he know I’d rather live back in America relative to what Australia has become.
Any major outside of STEM, and a few inside, should be exposed to a wide variety of writings, social concepts, philosophical arguments, etc. the goal is so you can connect and communicate effectively with a wide variety of folks, learn to think critically about different and sometimes antagonistic ideas, and hopefully have a broad pool of experience to draw from later on life. University is more than simply a trade school for your chosen major.
Law school is where you’ll study law specifically. Which is broad AF in its own right… and even then you’ll be woefully under prepared to function as a lawyer IRL. experience trumps smarts and education for the first few years of most career fields.
