Shooting in USA-thread. (11 Viewers)

[Salvo]

I don't know what it is, if it's training or what but it's just common sense not to shoot that guy. Really there is no excuse for it. Going around shooting cops is just as retarded. When shit like this happens the cop in question needs to be punished as would any normal citizen. Whether it was racially motivated or not I have no idea, I'm sure there were some racial undertones whether it was intentional or not. I assume and I could be wrong but the biggest issue is probably cop culture in these cases, you have to protect your brothers and sisters who wear the badge. No police officer wants to put a fellow cop away but in these circumstances you don't have a choice.

There is truly no excuse to shoot a person in that circumstance. None whatsoever. For it to keep happening, while I understand that the US is a huge place and obviously with more call outs the chance of this sort of shit happening is higher but I mean that should just be basic training. If someone can't keep his cool under pressure like that he probably shouldn't be a cop.

We have more police deaths in the line of duty per capita.

???

Then maybe your cops need to be more like our cops

Like I said before, those in the police that have no probable cause to discharge their firearms should face punishment. Those cases definitely do exist, but they appear to be a minority. Of course if you have a passion for hating a particular group of people you patrol, you probably shouldn't have the job.

But did they face punishment? The black population seem to have trust issues, even from a practical perspective I'd say if some of those infamous cases had been addressed probably the reactions after each and every similar incident would have dramatically lessened.

On the grand scheme of things, how big of an issue is this, really? Take Chicago for example. 2000 shootings by citizens, or 200 or so across the country by police?

It's like saying why do we need to spend time and resources to cure AIDS when more people die of cancer. These are two different problems each of which deserves attention. Their magnitude is irrelevant, although like that woman said one who wears that uniform has a much greater responsibility that if he/she cannot take they can and should move out. This alone makes these instances of police brutality even more important.

Considering we have already elected one with an email scandal.
http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1610414,00.html

Another email scandal I don't give two s about.

If people want to gripe about someone's political validity, they have to aim for better than that.

Can't quite guess why regular citizens (I can understand why this is an obsession for the GOP) are so hung up over emails, when there are so many important issues to tackle first.

Because Whitewater was so much fun.

Watch this Andy if you haven't. She nails it.

Dafuq are people so illiterate these days they can't write anymore and instead have to make us suffer through some zero-production, zero-editing, 7-minute navel-gazing video hoping they manage to utter something profound?

I'm ok with this as long as it doesn't get beyond the point of just venting, basically as long as they don't buy the hype

I was just joking
I do need more context here, though. Didn't read everything, but who are you specifically talking about?

 

[Hængebøffer]

And that is a problem in some instances. But even in the Baltimore case, the mayor and DA were both so passionate and sure about a conviction that it didn't happen because the evidence wasn't there. The police picked up the individual in question because he was breaking the law, something he could have prevented in the first place. Although, he did have something like 20 criminal convictions prior to that, so perhaps it was just his nature. There's no evidence as to what occurred in the police transport.

So the conclusion here is this: stop breaking the law and chances are you will not be shot or killed by police. The whole BLM movement is just another example of how mentally ill this country has become. Instead of fixing the cultural issues the run rampant in various communities, they blame the police who apparently killed less than the number of people who die from bee stings each year -- and that figure includes those breaking the law to begin with. Essentially, the actions of these people are not important, which is similar to a childlike mentality where they have to be rewarded for good behavior. What, Chicago had something like two fucking THOUSAND shootings in the past year from criminals breaking the law, much of which was black on black violence? Yet the cops are solely to blame? Give me a break.

Until folks start taking responsibility for their own actions, this whole discussion is a complete waste of time.

"stop breaking the law and chances are you will not be shot or killed by police."

Please, Andy. I know you're too ANCAP for this line of reasoning. I'll say this (which is a problem in every country):
We're cutting public spending the wrong places. Police, teachers etc.. Then they have to show numbers to justify their work. The police have to use way too much time on chasing people, who just wanna go home and smoke their weed. The Wire was spot on here. This shit is also happening here.

 

[Ronn]

So you'll vote for Hillary just because Bush did something wrong? You are the reason why this country is a joke now.

do you honestly think just calling everybody joke and twit and stuff like that make you look smart? Think again

Me neither. I think that Obamacare rollout fuck up was a way bigger tech related scandal than this email bs

A comment under Trump's post:

"Mr. Trump I am so angry....This has got to stop, you have to reunite our country....Be very careful with your words, you need to get the support of the African American and Hispanic community....we cannot allow Killery to win...."



Is this rhyming people's names with one's own stupidity an American way of being witty and funny or it's universal? I remember Vinman used to do it all the time.

No it doesn't. Even her party opponent, Bernie Sanders, pleaded "Enough with the damn emails already" early on in their debates. If we're electing our next president on the basis of their demonstrated capabilities at securing email servers, we're even more fucked.

Have you even looked into it? It's far more than 'just' an email server. She knowingly removed classified markings from classified files including from some of the most classified info (SAP) in the US Govt. She sent those files to people without security clearances. Yet she's getting off scot free when she's had to sign god knows how many NDAs and been briefed more than just a few times on the handling of classified materials. She's either grossly incompetent (unlikely) or worse, maliciously acting without care for US laws and regulations with regards to national security and people's lives. The intent of why she did it is still not clear, possibly for personal gain. If she were to be President that would mean more power to do as she wishes. She lied under oath about the issue.

Well, yeah

“The natural distribution is neither just nor unjust; nor is it unjust that persons are born into society at some particular position. These are simply natural facts. What is just and unjust is the way that institutions deal with these facts.”

Did people die because of the way she handled those emails?

Just brushing it aside as 'private email server' is taking the convenient way out. She might have compromised national security considering how badly secured her server was and how aggressive state sponsored cyber attacks are at the moment. If it were a lower level employee or a contractor they'd most probably be behind bars already or at the very least be prosecuted.

Possibly, the Benghazi attack could have been planned from information obtained from her (it's not certain whether her server was hacked) or the people whom she was in contact with that were hacked. She most likely had top secret information regarding HUMINT which if hacked could have jeopardised lives abroad.

This guy took a selfie which he didn't realise showed classified equipment, transmitted it to nobody and is now being prosecuted.

Actually, I think the email thing is worse, and that's a joke to begin with.

The Obamacare website rollout was a bunch of contractors put on the job for a national program switched on overnight. That was one of the biggest fake scandals ever, especially when Twitter made the Fail Whale an international symbol for their tribulations. Yet people found that surprising? That a new web site launch goes slow and underperforms?

ZOMG, then half of Silicon Valley is full of retards.

I hear email server and immediately my brain is lulled into a stupor of boring RFC protocols and IEEE specs. You can't even put The Rock on acid and make that into an interesting movie.

Turns out that suspect wasn't the shooter. Didn't take long for media and individuals to blindly convict the man.....calling him black supremacist and all that bullshit. The man was released from custody.

Mark Hughes is his name.

Micah Johnson was the nut that went on a rampage. Fortunately for that mark guy there was footage of him handing over a rifle he was walking around with to an officer. If it wasn't for that he'd be fucked royally
