[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]Stop spouting off about how the media can't be trusted because they're a bunch of low life liberal biased scum[/i] You said it, not me. [i]explain why it is okay to shoot an UNARMED SUSPECT[/i] I already did. You keep forgetting that you have to actually read other people's posts to have what we call a "conversation". [i]What, Officer Roach didn't have mace or a nightstick?[/i] If he had his gun out and was attacked without time to do anything but react, he would and should have pulled the trigger. [i]that sure doesn't give ANYONE the right to shoot someone in the back.[/i] Unwarranted assumption. I've already explained how he could easily have been bodily attacking the police officers while being consistant with the available information. [i]They'd rather blame the kid for running[/i] Who's done this? [i]and the blacks for burning stuff down and attacking people[/i] Well, considering that they're the ones doing it, I'd say they should be blamed, wouldn't you? [i]You hold a group of people down long enough, they're going to explode.[/i] You have no evidence that anyone is being "held down". You have conjecture, theory, and a fair amount of paranoia. [i]Margaret Mitchell, a homeless mentally ill black woman, was shot by Los Angeles patrolmen in 1998 after she allegedly lunged at them with a screwdriver.[/i] Again, if you've got no time but to react, that's appropriate in the situation. [i]Amadou Diallo was the African street vendor at whom four of New York's finest fired 41 shots after they supposedly mistook his wallet for a gun.[/i] The one who yelled "gun" overreacted. The rest followed their training. [i]the victims did nothing to justify the use of deadly force.[/i] In some cases, true, in others not. [i]Their real crime seems to have been being black in the presence of a cop.[/i] *L* Since when does attacking a police officer not constitute a crime? [/QB][/QUOTE]
