[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] [i]You said it, not me.[/i] Yes, because we all know you've never said the media was biased to liberals. [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] I did read it. It's still inexcuseable. Why have a gun drawn on an unarmed suspect? A nightstick would be a better choice. [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] So you're no longer contending Roach's finger [i]slipped[/i] and pulled the trigger by accident? [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] Not to my satisfaction. There are levels of responses to any situation. If Mr. Thomas had a knife, a gun would be a reasonable response. Since Mr. Thomas was unarmed, it is unreasonable. Besides, please post something backing up your claim that Mr. Thomas was attacking Officer Roach. Oh, yeah, you don't have anything, do you? [i]Who's done this?[/i] First of Two, for one. [i]Of course, people who run deserve what they get.[/i] Apparently, some aren't enlightened enough to think that a cop should only use deadly force when being fired upon. If you run from a cop, you deserve to die. [i]You have no evidence that anyone is being "held down". You have conjecture, theory, and a fair amount of paranoia.[/i] The riot is evidence, Omega. Ask a black man how he feels when he walks by a car and the old white lady locks the doors. Or when they're pulled over for driving a nice car in a nice neighborhood. Pretending that Racial Profiling, or racism by Police Departments (this is the third or fourth time I've brought up the Rampart Division in this thread) don't exist is evidence of ignorance. Well, Omega, you sure are ignorant, and that line above proves it. [i]The one who yelled "gun" overreacted. The rest followed their training.[/i] And the one who yelled gun should be kicked out of the department. Still gotta wonder why they all felt it so neccessary to shoot him so many times. I mean, there's overkill, and then there's [i]overkill[/i]. [i]In some cases, true, in others not.[/i] And in cases where the shooting is unjustified, do you not agree that the officer(s) doing the shooting should be held accountable? Frankly, the whole fact that the FBI is investigating this shooting makes it look bad for Officer Roach. [i]Since when does attacking a police officer not constitute a crime?[/i] You didn't read that article, did you? You apparently missed the point. [/QB][/QUOTE]
