In the perfect world, or the UK, he would have been apprehended and given the mental health treatment he needs.

But it's par for America for people to use guns as a substitute for courage, especially cops.

I think you're confusing the word "proof" with your dumbass opinion.



But let's pretend you're right (coincidentally, this is probably the only way you can be right....when we pretend):


You're a police chief. People are upset and looking for a reason to protest. The town next door is going tits up. Why give your angry town a reason to join in on the protesting? If you're truly concerned with maintaining the peace, you think you might wanna stop killing people for a few days if you can avoid it?

how come cops love to use tasers when civilians mouth off or when the cop wants a good laugh, but in a situation where a taser would actually make sense the cops in St. Louis just shoot people? Do the cops in that area not carry tasers?

SMC I'm going to call you out... You think you know so much about Raleigh and Durham and Wake County's equipment.

You're wrong.

You have two pictures of the same white armored "wells fargo" vehicle which belongs to Raleigh. Raleigh does not have an MRAP. These are very rarely deployed.

WCSO owns the larger grey armored vehicle which is the closest thing you'll see to a MRAP in Wake County. This is also very rarely deployed.

Raleigh has that white armored vehicle and an older one that is similar but smaller to that one.


ALSO, Raleigh does not have 6 RV's used for mass processing. They have two (one big, one small) RV's which are used for MOBILE COMMAND SITES.


You know not what you think you do.

8/19/2014 6:34:31 PM

Only 1 person killed by police in Iceland since 1944:

Quote :

"She was referring to a 59-year old man who was shot by police on Monday. The man, who started shooting at police when they entered his building, had a history of mental illness. It's the first time someone has been killed by armed police in Iceland since it became an independent republic in 1944. Police don't even carry weapons, usually. Violent crime in Iceland is almost non-existent. "The nation does not want its police force to carry weapons because it's dangerous, it's threatening," Arnorsdottir says. "It's a part of the culture. Guns are used to go hunting as a sport, but you never see a gun.""

^ He probably will just because he's the only living member of this encounter. Unless there is some major physical evidence casting doubt on his version, i can't see any charges sticking.

His story per his "friend" calling news outlets seems to hinge on Brown charging him before being shot at. If Brown's lawyer could convince a jury that Brown was being shot at before he started moving back to Wilson's car or while his hands were up, then i could see Wilson being in some trouble.

also, they reference that as a "file image", although it does look like they're trying to trick people, they have it in the fine print it's just a file picture. There's no real info on the exact nature of Wilson's injuries at this point.

So what happens when/if we find out that the police version of events is actually what happened? That the cop was assaulted through the car window by the kid, the kid tried to go for the gun, the gun went off, he tried to run, decided he'd be better off to turn and fight, charged the cop, then got shot 6 times? No hands in the air, no surrender, just a bull rush.

That's exactly the type of situation in which we authorize police officers to use deadly force.

But if that's the truth, and they release it, no one in Ferguson will believe it anyway, and the residents will spend the next month burning their town to the ground in anger.

8/20/2014 8:14:55 AM

If you think socioeconomic problems have no relation/correlation to crime, then you're blatantly ignoring facts. To call someone who brings up socioeconomics and crime a racist is to ignore facts and cheapens the issue. Further, I don't see how you can call others racist when it is your thought that is actually racist (socioeconomics == race in your thought process). Race plays a role in socioeconomics; not the other way around.
