Re: Being pro-police
So carrying a knife and walking away from a cop is grounds for murdering someone?

Re: Being pro-police
No! Not slashing tires! Anything but that! Now I agree with you. The police officer is 100% justified in shooting someone who is accused of slashing tires. Wow, I was totally underestimating this incident until you gave me that information.
Yes, that was sarcastic.
And no, he is not "closing the gap." I don't know what video you saw. He was walking farther away and got into a farther lane than the police were in. The only people "closing the gap" were the cops who shot and killed him for doing nothing to them.

Re: Being pro-police
I'm going to try to explain this in a way that you can understand.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoB0PTWrLWU
The black man is walking down the street. At 49 seconds into the video, he is walking on the double line on the left. At 51 seconds he is walking on the double line on the right. At 57 seconds he is walking on the single line between the two lanes on the right. At each stage of the video, he continues to move right, starting at 49 seconds, then 51 seconds, then 57 seconds.
Once the white police exit their vehicles, starting at 55 seconds into the video, they are moving closer to the black man who is moving away from them. Police are on the left, the black man is on the right. The black man goes right to go farther away from the police. The police move farther right to get nearer to the black man. Both are moving to the right. The black man is moving away from the police. The police are moving nearer to the black man.
If you can't understand that, this video should help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZhEcRrMA-M

Re: Being pro-police
My only "agenda" is to point out that when the police were closest to the victim it was because the police got closer to the victim, not the other way around. Any "closing of the gap" was police-imposed.
Have a nice day!

Re: Being pro-police
Name-calling will get you absolutely nowhere with me, in fact, it just fuels my passion for justice, anti-bullying, and a better world.
Once again, I was right, you were wrong.

"Around the time the freelance journalist Brandon Smith filed suit for release of the dash-cam video, on Aug. 5, 2015, the Chicago Police Department told him that it had already received, and rejected, 14 other Freedom of Information Act requests for the evidence. The city spent thousands of dollars in legal expenses to keep the video under wraps. And it would probably have continued to do so, had Judge Franklin Valderrama of the Cook County Circuit Court not ordered its release."
Police shot and killed this black teen in cold blood, then tried to keep this public information away from the public. And you think these are the good guys?

Re: Being pro-police
Interesting theory, but you're 100% wrong.
Fewer cops has resulted in less crime.

Sorry to pull out facts on you. I'm sure you enjoy going with your gut, personal beliefs, and emotion on these things, but studying the issue is much more accurate.

Yes, it's a fallen world, but adding more fallen cops to the mix doesn't make it better.
You think these people are saints?

Craig, buddy, it's "you're."
NoozDude, yes, I didn't stutter. 100% wrong. When the founding fathers came here, there was no police department. People took care of themselves and each other. It works much better than a police department. There was not "lots more, death, destruction and anarchy" as our friend audiophile put it. Yes, audiophile put "more" and then a comma. I didn't stutter there either.
DAC, keep your racist slurs to yourself.
Now make it a great day!

I don't need to look up a racist word to know what it means. But feel free to continue using it since I support your (<---- correctly used) right to free speech. However, I wouldn't use it in my neighborhood. I can't control how other people would react to it.

And allow me to let all of you in on a little secret. You don't have to listen to me. You don't have to read my posts. You don't have to do any of that. You don't have to be annoyed, angry, hateful, or allow someone to get "under your skin."
That's your (<--- properly used) decision.
Have a great day!
