The literal police force that the officer belonged to said that the presence of the gun was the victim's right, and did not justify the officer's shooting. E: fatte catte taxxe:

She wasnt an angel if shes pulling a gun and we should consider that the officer might have seen the gun and felt threatened. Anything could have happened. Someone might have even died It would be a shame to see his life ruined. Imagine how scared he must have been to be in one of those neighborhoods. The scary ones. The ones where people get shot.

Ate My Balls Redux posted:Lol jesus christ I hate cops but this is an actual example of a department doing nearly everything right in the face of a cop murdering someone. Reform has to START somewhere I remember watching the Rodney King tape close to 30 years ago in a room of Marines in security forces who are not exactly known for being a bunch of bleeding heart liberals and to a man everyone was disgusted by what the police did. But we thought at least now that they know that they can be vidioed maybe they would learn to behave. That was 1991, and rather than getting better cops switched to just plain blowing black people away to the point that they only hold a news cycle when it is a particularly egregious case as this that's 28 years and the absolute most consequence one of these fuckers have faced for murder was that woman cop in Dallas who got 10 but more likely 5 years in prison and that only because she was drunk and gunned the guy down in his own home. Oh and the loving judge gave her a hug after that joke of a sentence. This despite everyone carrying around a high definition recording device with cloud storage in their pockets, on top of body cams and dash cams as well as social media to create the necessary outrage to make the authorities perform more than even the most cursory review before putting the murdering pig back on the beat. So I'm not going to fault anyone for not giving a police department the benefit of the doubt.

I don't know why you're giving them any credit. They're cops and they're going to defend this murderer no matter what it takes. I'll believe they're doing anything right when I actually see the cop tried for capital murder.

I've tried for the last 5 minutes to come up with a response, but there's just so much wrong here. Dude clearly has no clue about strategy, history, or does he even care who is killed as long as he gets...elected i guess? The quote from the Turkish foreign rep on NPR was just a long line of fire emojis. They basically dismissed the letter because it was "ridiculous" and included a letter from the Kurdish general that Turkey considers a terrorist. Dude has zero concept of how diplomacy works or why including a letter from someone the Turks had no interest in negotiating with just blares that all the adults in the room have vanished and our idiot king is just spouting nonsense that's actually starting to catch up with him e: and the worst part is that he's loving PROUD OF IT. like spreading copies of the letter like it's some good boy manifesto and not a laughingstock of diplomacy ee: quote:Mr. Trump then began a speech about a “nasty” letter he had sent to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, which he said was proof that he had not given the Turkish leader a green light to advance Turkish forces into Syria. Mr. Trump then directed Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the Republican minority leader, to pass copies of the letter around the table. ewiley fucked around with this message at 12:27 on Oct 17, 2019 |
