http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-whittier-police-shooting-suspect-20170221-story.html Hey you scumbag thugs and your supporters who cry and moan when one of your little ghetto rats is popped by the 5-0 this is exactly why you comply with the orders of police or end up in a morgue. There are bad people out there who will kill cops. Cops know this. If you act like one of those bad people instead of cooperating and complying, you will stand a much greater chance of dying and then your friends will get to burn your city down. I am sick and tired of seeing our cops executed by worthless human trash who do nothing but turn our cities into ghettos and add nothing of any value to our society. We lost 11 police officers last year here in CA, and now we've seen our first cold-blooded murder of a police officer who stopped to help at the scene of an accident and was mercilessly taken from his family by the thug scum trash that he stopped to help. RIP officer Boyer. You are a hero.
"“They walked up on the vehicle believing the motorist was in need of medical help and then they ended up in a gunfight for their lives,” Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell said."
And what's a convicted felon doing with a gun? A week out of prison... So glad my state is disarming me to keep me safe from... guys like this?
Exercising his 2nd Amendment rights. That should make the RW happy. Don't they love the 2nd Amendment?
I think you missed my point - gun control doesn't stop criminals. It only disarms us good guys. It did nothing to protect this police officer and we have some of the strongest (meaning worst) gun laws in the country here in CA.
This is exactly it. I'd also argue that it's also human nature to profile people when your own life can be on the line. It might not be right, but it will keep more cops alive - and it doesn't have to infringe anyone if orders are complied with. It simply means that the orders are given to everyone, including grannies, when they are pulled over. I think a large male in a dodgy area is more likely to be "profiled" than an old granny in a nice neighborhood so why should that elderly woman be treated in the same way just to stop large males being "offended"?
White cops' lives matter. So do the lives of black unarmed motorists. All lives matter. I find it disgusting that the killing of a cop is used to justify the killing of unarmed civilians of any color. That is essentially what your post is doing. Video evidence over the last years has shown us that cops have killed people unnecessarily. That is wrong and it should be stopped. That does not mean cops should not have the right (and duty) to use lethal force at times. Black lives matter. White lives matter. Blue (police) lives matter. All lives matter.
Fck cops. They are a hindrance, they are a highly-paid and benefit-packaged tax percepting elite and have their own enclosed society were cops meet, mate and produces more cops. They are above the laws. Their little boys' club cost us a mean bunch. They're us and them. You won't see me crying for these dicks. Replace them with the military or local militias.
I don't agree. It simply suggests, to me, that cops need to vigilant and somewhat authoritative ... and if someone doesn't comply with a command (lie down, hand on the wheel, whatever).. then they should be viewed with suspicion. The every day person needs to understand that a cop can get blasted on the next stop... so comply with orders issued to make sure everyone can get away with as little inconvenience as possible. I honestly don't see why people want to cause themselves more inconvenience during a stop than is necessary?? We've been through this many times on the forums, so this is somewhat rhetorical.... but if you don't want to lie down and being a bit of a dick to the cop about that order simply because you don't want your suit dirty... how the hell is a cop meant to know that instead of thinking you are being shifty and maybe looking to pull a weapon if an opportunity presents itself? No interaction between a cop and a person who [potentially] has committed a crime is ever going to be the same because... people are dicks. And cops are people too. - - - Updated - - - I think he is suggesting that legislation preventing sensible gun owners from having a weapon is not inherently going to prevent a criminal getting an illegal weapon.
there is truth in what you say but in countries like the uk and Oz gun control works over time as more and more guns come out of the population
The UK and OZ don't have any land borders though, so gun access is more difficult (although not unheard of). Whilst we have enough weapons being manufactured here to not require illegal land imports (in fact, a lot are exported illegal to Mexico), I could see a huge shift. If weapons manufacturers cannot build/sell effectively in the US, I would imagine that would shift elsewhere. It's difficult to assess, so I would prefer comparisons on successful gun control in countries with land borders, of which I'm sure there is evidence available. If we think about Mexico, they have thousands of illegal weapons a day crossing the border from the US, so clearly Mexican criminals can still get weapons even if they can't purchase legally in their own country.
it certainly is a messy topic and given the gun culture in the US change is unlikely. Another gun control country is Canada and it does indeed have a border.
Excellent post! Very timely for what is occurring today. A great example of current police practices. Oh, wait; this occurred in 1999... Just like having to use black and white film from a half century ago to point out racism, race obsessors such as yourself can only find relevance by using examples from decades ago. You might find current isolated incidents of racism from time to time, but in reveling in your victimhood you're not likely to find many examples of institutional racism, unless, of course, it's directed at white people in programs such as affirmative action...
Condition of armament is irrelevant. How does the cop know whether an individual is armed or not upon first contact? Hence, the need to comply. When you get out of the car and up in the officer's face, you are a threat. When you remain in your car and the officer observes you fumbling around in your car, or reaching under the seats, you are a threat... doesn't matter if you are reaching for a stick of gum to cover up your booze breath... you are a threat until you have proven to the officer you are not. That is how they get to go home to their families at night. You are a racist, apparently, for saying this. No, you have completely missed my point, shockingly. Of course there have been some unjustified shootings - and not just of blacks. There are also some bad cops out there. Some. But what the video evidence doesn't show us are trhe tens of thousands of law enforcement contacts with blacks and other minorities that happen without so much as a heated word. Why? Because the individual stopped by the officer did not present a threat. "Thank you, have a nice day..." Of course. But the numbers of unjustified shootings are far lower than you want me to believe. Here we agree. Hey hey yo yo! [video=youtube;263zZ3HrmjE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=263zZ3HrmjE[/video]
I haven't seen you since before the election results. How's Hillary being president working out for you? You must be really happy. Anyway the second amendment doesn't allow the murder of a human being.
It is interesting to note that with the huge influx of illegal immigrants, police deaths per capita have dropped. This isn't surprising since immigrants commit fewer crimes than citizens. It is also interesting that the death rate for cops was almost 20 times higher during prohibition.
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2013/0...his-interesting-chart-puts-it-in-perspective/ http://www.governing.com/gov-data/law-enforcement-fatality-rates-by-state.html Given that auto accidents kill many cops, in California, you are less likely to die by firearm assault if you're a cop, than if you're not. In fact you are less likely to die from any cause than the average population.
