    Gang shooting, trying to serve a warrant. I'm sure enhanced background checks and assault weapons ban and limits on magazines would have prevented it.

    Sounds like you're suddenly against thought crimes, are you?

    Do you know what happens in some attempted murders? The victim is left paralyzed or missing a limb, that person and his/her family could be screwed royally, but the perp gets 3 squares a day until he's released.

    Anyway, I guess in your mind you don't think pointing a gun at someone and pulling the trigger amounts to the intent to murder.

    He wasn’t arrested for breaking into his own house. He was arrested for disorderly conduct for his behavior when a police officer responded to a 911 call

    Are you really going to attempt to demonize the officers in this thread?

    Wait, don't even answer. We already know.

    You'll never get it through the courts, a capital crime or murder is only resulted in when there is a homicide. You can only subject someone to capital punishment for a capital crime.

    How is responding to a 911 call stupid? Should the police not?

    Of maybe you are talking about Gates? He isn’t my brother, I can assure you my brother wouldn’t act that way

    You are arguing that people are going to get drugs whether they're illegal or not, and making them illegal just creates an underground market and fuels gangs who sell drugs, so we should legalize and tax them instead. Right?

    Since many on the left are so eager to ban guns, how would your post here read if we substituted "guns" for "drugs"?

    Maybe not in this case, but over time through attrition? But, we'll never know if we don't try.

    Rush Limbaugh does not play sax or discusses his underwear, at least not that I know of.

    We have the history of mass shootings which we can apply to these proposed laws. It wouldn't have stopped them.

    No just disorderly...and rude to someone simply doing his job.

    His race has nothing to do with it...are you racist?

    As an African-American, I find your comment quite offensive

    Getting accused of breaking into his own home made the guy a little edgy. Once he showed his ID the police should have simply apologized and left.
