papasmurfbell Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Sure many. But is it most? Is it a few? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/9590505/NYPD-accused-of-fatal-road-rage-shooting.html There are many more instances of this stuff. He wasn't shot but the UM student who was beaten and arrested for skipping. The problem is the cop didn't realize he was being filmed and he lied on the report. The woman who was punched in philthy because someone else threw water at the cop. How about the marine who was murdered in his home because of an unfounded informant saying his brother was dealing weed so swat busted the door in and they unloaded on him. Hell the marine here in bmore who was unloaded on by a bad cop that they kept around. The list is endless. The whole system needs to be fixed. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/mcchrystal-says-serious-action-needed-gun-control-174328785.html McChrystal doesn't think police need that kind of hardware either.

dc. Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I didn't mean respond to the opinion on police shootings, I meant respond to the other ideas on gun control. I don't think arming citizens will affect police shootings at all. Shoot a cop, even justifiably, and you'll be dead too. Sad state, but true. If we can limit the need for police force in the first place, though... Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Hey what did that mayor from PG county do that was aginst the law? Quote

dc. Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 You don't think it's pretty lucky that he didn't get killed in the encounter? I am amazed - not knowing all the details - that the police didn't respond with a hail of bullets so strong that he was killed. I'm not saying rightly or wrongly, just objectively - it's certainly what I would have expected. Meanwhile - I wouldn't exactly say that police/government were in the wrong here. They had a search warrant and apparently attempted to contact him frequently before serving it... is this the police state we're arming ourselves against? Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 He was in the military and they only play like it. It is getting worse. There is no need to come to the door with military hardware unless you think you are at war. Quote
dc. Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I'm not arguing that police need them. I'm only arguing that we probably don't. The kid could have shot the intruder with any other gun. And you still haven't addressed any other points in the post. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I have said for yrs that the def dept needs to be pared down. It is to bloated and big. It is that way because military contractors pay oliticians to buy more stuff. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/130379.htmlHere is one to disgust you. Nobody hold police accountable unless someone else is filming them. Quote
dc. Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Still not the point I was asking you to respond to. Quote
