Sacrist65 posted:Thats a good point. And it yea it seems like a bad stop and those cops should face consequences. Also we're all consumers of an industry that makes money off how angry the news makes us. All of these things can be true. You called an article from the loving Associated Press "clickbait," so stop with this "hmm, makes you think" bullshit.

Bored As gently caress posted:If the cop had a taser on him, it's way more likely that he meant he'd switch to his taser and tase the LT. This goes well beyond giving the benefit of the doubt into full-on bootlicking.

On the one hand, clearly the statement wasn't meant to be all-encompassing. On the other, this thread often likes painting with a wide brush. Please move on.

Meshka posted:A portion of people are not inherently good no matter how well a society runs itself and will always take advantage of the weaker without a mechanism to discourage that type of behavior. Saying abolish all police makes you sound like a child and will never be accepted by majority of people. That portion is called "the police."

Let's let up on the dogpile, but I would definitely like Meshka to respond to this:Proud Christian Mom posted:while we're here I'd just like to remind everyone that the courts at all levels in the US have affirmed that cops have no duty to protect you up to and including just sitting there watching someone else attack you. And to also maybe answer the questions posed directly.

Meshka posted:I do not agree with the court decision, it should be the opposite. There are millions of police interactions every year, you do not hear when it is routine or positive, you only hear about gently caress ups. I would argue that they are net positive by a huge margin. ... holy poo poo

boop the snoot posted:I can absolutely say things like we don’t need law enforcement because as it has been stated to you but you’ve ignored several times: 1) you’re making up your reasons out of thin air and not basing them on any objective reality and 2) it has been ruled by the United States federal loving courts that cops aren’t obligated to protect anyone at all and Yup. And that's the last word on this, Meshka please do some reading before you try to offer an opinion next time. There will be a "typing while the mod posted stop" grace period before the probes start.

Bored As gently caress, if you ever in the future want to justify a police shooting do it someplace else. It is not welcome here, nor are you.

Grip it and rip it posted:We are bouncing people for discussing their opinions on a discussion board? No, the standard is that if you're trying to "well actually" your way into justifying a cop killing a child while already on a watchlist for being a misogynist then maybe you're not someone I want around.

Alright, let's all take a breath. I'm not going to banish Bored As gently caress to the land of wind and ghosts, but for the sake of all of us let's bear in mind that we're all pretty fried between the ears. Saying a shoot is legally justified comes across as excusing it, so maybe don't do that. A shoot that's legally justified is not the same thing as one that is morally justified (thanks to whoever said that earlier). Please consider using the copthread for your in-depth arguments so that when Henry Kissinger's final horcrux is found the news isn't swallowed up. I'm going off to run some errands and to clear my head: Between this and something that's going on elsewhere I'm pretty drained. IKs, there's a few frozen pizzas in the freezer for you. If you throw a wild party please clean up after yourselves.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:Probably. They just killed the FTCs ability to go after judgements against scammers. My understanding of this ruling (which was unanimous) is that the law as written doesn't allow the FTC to do so to begin with, which while not the desired outcome is the only one the court could have really handed down. I could be pretty dang wrong, of course. I often am.

The first of the lawsuit against 3M over defective earplugs have reached a jury verdict. https://www.wsj.com/articles/3m-loses-first-trial-over-military-earplugs-11619809398 quote:3M Co. lost the first lawsuit to go to trial over the safety of earplugs it sold for years to the military, with a federal jury Friday awarding $7.1 million to three veterans and finding the company failed to warn about defects in the product. Fingers crossed that those of us who are also suing 3M get nice settlements.
