nurse arrested for refusing to give blood sample
<< < (11/31) > >>
PhantOS:
its pretty worrisome to hear someone who is allowed to own a gun say that. also the fact that if he were to shoot a black people he'd probably just get off with a paid vacation like the other cops...
Deus Ex:
nine times out of ten the shooting of a black people is totally justified because we have a tendency to chimp out around cops instead of listening to commands
obviously not every shooting is justified but let's not act like black people get shot for no reason
PhantOS:
its more like 7/10 times. also cops sign up for their job understanding that they will have to make sacrifices in order to serve the people around them. the philando castille out there that is wrong place wrong timed by a trigger happy cop never signed the 'you may die in this job' waiver, they were just minding their own business and suddenly a cop says 'dont move' and shoots you half a second later because you were already in motion, ready to obey their previous command which was 'please show me your id' which you had more time to react to

this is one of those times where 'oh man hopefully they wont do it again after their paid vacation' isn't the appropriate response from anyone. it should be more along the lines of 'we should train our cops to be more level-headed to avoid casualties'
Deus Ex:
(If I were a cop) I don't care what kind of loving sacrifices people expect me to make, I'm not getting killed because some people are gonna label me a trigger happy tribal if I have reason to believe my life is in danger. Not every situation is like the Castille shooting. I don't even know why I'm getting into this discussion with you when this topic is about a white cop harassing a white woman. You and Tony and forget off with this bullstuff until it's relevant, otherwise I'm not engaging in this derailing nonsense
PhantOS:
believing your life is in danger isn't the same as having your life in danger. so you can either diffuse the situation so nobody gets hurt, or you can do what like 30% of all police shootings are- shoot first ask questions later aka shoot first paid vacation later

this entire discussion is relevant to the nurse incident. you have a cop who thinks he has the authority to threaten a citizen who is doing nothing wrong. he probably feels in his heart that she's committing some crime and he's doing the right thing, but obviously that's not the case
