Cops Have Killed Every 8 Hours in 2015, Sending At Least Three People to Early Graves

[Zaac]

I do not give anyone the benefit of the doubt. I would say that comparing the PP vids to cops vids are apples and refrigerators.

And I think it's a convenient excuse that you seemingly accept the doctoring of the videos you mentioned but don't do the same with Planned PArenthood because of whatever reason.

The reason is when a video is taken of a cop apprehending a suspect then often it gets edited where the reason for the use of force is left out which justifies the cops behavior.

In the case of PP there is no context in which their talks about what they do with slaughtered unborn children can be justified.

Not in question. You said edited video that were made to look a certain way. That's essentially what PP said.

This is just false hyperbole and has no place in reasonable discussions.

The OP shows that it's not just hyperbole.

From a similar BB thread:

Just in case you don't desire to click the link....
Since January we've had 704 people killed by the police this year.

That number is already higher than last year which was 622 for the entire year.

Assuming that figure is correct of '15 - and if the stats hold up - we are looking at about 1,000 for the entire year.

It is estimated that there are over 900,000 LEO's in the United States. - that means that only one LEO out of a thousand has killed someone.

Why aren't we talking about the LEO's killed in the line of duty:

2015 - 71 (as of 23 Jul)
2014 - 134
2013 - 119
2012 - 180
2011 - 133
2010 - 210
2009 - 140
2008 - 161
2007 - 204
2006 - 161
2005 - 166

Yes because criminals never resist or try to make attempts to hurt cops after they are arrested. :laugh:

Ok, that says it all.

The Rev believes cops have a right and duty to punish people in custody, because "some" people might attempt to hurt cops after they are arrested. That's right. The cops have a right to beat and or punish everyone because of the actions of a few.

Classless.

Clueless :tonofbricks:

Unfortunately a lot of folks feel that way. That's why they can give "rough rides" and people justify it.

That's why perfectly healthy people can go into custody and show up for hearings beaten and battered and some folks feel like they are just getting what they deserved, and will not bat an eyelash at the fact that this happened in POLICE CUSTODY.

This isn't policing. This is just something extremely wicked where we are systemically allowing officers to vigilante style exact their own brand of justice because they can't control themselves. And then the system protects them.

Apparently the Rev believes that only "civilians" have to obey the law. Cops are there to punish everyone for the actions of a few.

All the cop groupies here should start a new hashtag campaign . . . #onlycopslivesmatter.

Training Officers to Shoot First, and He Will Answer Questions Later

WASHINGTON — The shooting looked bad. But that is when the professor is at his best. A black motorist, pulled to the side of the road for a turn-signal violation, had stuffed his hand into his pocket. The white officer yelled for him to take it out. When the driver started to comply, the officer shot him dead.

The driver was unarmed.

So, are you saying that is tolerable?

Interesting, since many people on BB say that we need photo voter ID laws because NOT ONE ILLEGAL VOTE is tolerable, yet, apparently a .1% kill ratio for police is OK.

Just crazy. Dead after being pulled over for turn-signal violation. SMH. And some folks are okay with this type of policing?

So what is this case?

Why doesn't the article give us any details to know if it is real or some made up composite to make the author's point?

Did it actually happen?

 

[church mouse guy]

This annual number is quite small. Imagine how many the Chinese murder in Tibet everyday. Imagine how many whites are murdered by blacks everyday. Imagine how many the KKKGB murder everyday.

 

[plain_n_simple]

Who is to say that the police aren't editing their video?

They did in the Sandra Bland case.

 

[Zaac]

They did in the Sandra Bland case.

And for sure they aren't the first officers to do so.

This is God slowly taking His hand off this country. It will get worse and more obvious even to those here who are so blind to what is happening all across America. The candlestick is being removed and it is because of clouds without water Christians.

Your bias and racial prejudice is clearly observed in your words. :BangHead:

My words: "Amazing how deadly police have become. Serve and protect?"

No bias, only an observation of citizen death toll at the hands of police. Race is not mentioned. Maybe you got my post mixed up with another.:thumbs:

 

[wpe3bql]

Imagine how many the KKKGB murder everyday.

Bro. CMG, I've never heard of this KKKGB organization to which you've made reference.

Could you please give me some details about this group--like for what its initials stand for? Where exactly is their headquarters located?

Do you know off hand if they publish their views from time to time, &, if so, can you send me some contact info such as their USPS mailing address, or, if you know what it is, their website address?

Thanks in advance for any info

you can send me on this KKKGB organization to which you are referring in you post. :thumbsup: :wavey:

 

[righteousdude2]

The Nazis used to do that.

Folks during Jim Crow used to do that.

The Nazi's were defeated. Jim Crow is dead. And slavery was abolished! So move on! :sleep:

Depends - are you talking about police who murder a suspect ? if so - then not even one is acceptable.

I fully accept any killing by the police when it is done in the interest of justice.

 

[righteousdude2]

They did in the Sandra Bland case.

You said it ... now prove what you say. It's time to put up or shut up.

 

[Alcott]

Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. [Romans 13:1-2].

Yes or No:

Is a police officer an agent of God?
Is resisting an officer's orders resisting God?
Should police officers be "feared?"
Are police officers "avengers" for God?
Is all this null for a police officer who does unjustifiably use deadly force?
Does this apply to a repressive tyranny [Rome] and not to a democratic republic [USA]?

And what does "bear the sword for nothing" mean?

Finally, if 'to have no fear of authority do what is good, and you will receive praise from the same' proves untrue... does that disprove scripture-- this passage or any other?
