Featured Six Bullets ... and their lasting effect on the integrity of a police force

Don, thank you. Your answer was much more in-depth, official, clear and intelligent than my own. I appreciate your understanding of the matter and willingness to corroborate.

 

What you have is the background to have answered the question that I asked but chose not to because it suits your personality more to snidely comment on anything I say.

Emotionally charged. Right. That would be believable if you said the same thing about other comments. But like I said, it was an honest question for someone I thought might have some better insight in lieu of the situation and what seems to be a growing trend.

But your snideness is once again well noted.

 

If you don't like the tone, don't use it yourself.

 

L I K E !!:laugh:

 

And what tone would that be? The one where I typed a question on the screen and YOU decided it was histrionic?

The problem you have is with YOU and feeling like you have to "get" me.

But that's why you're back on IGNORE.:wavey:

 

Zaac, you enjoy your role as THE definitive contrarian. You revel in your role as a Devil's Advocate. But it is getting to be more and more difficult to believe it is anything but that. You disregard common sense so often and to such an extreme degree --it must be that you get some perverse thrill from it all. Shed that persona and reveal your true self once and for all.

 

And there you go looking for an angle too. If I enjoy the role of definitive contrarian, then the lot of you enjoy the role of feeling as though because you pact agree, that anyone who disagrees with what you say can't possibly be right.

What it is looking like is that you and others are so used to having your way be the GOSPEL, that it upsets your applecart anytime anyone says anything contrary to what you think has to be the truth because that's the way yall feel. :laugh:

Oddly enough, what is acceptable "common sense" on here seems to be tied to the politics of the clique.

So don't wonder about why I could care less about what the prevailing view of common sense is on this board.

Sounds like somebody doesn't like it when people have viewpoints that don't go along with his own. Yet a lot of you complain about Obama thinking he's a tyrant or king.

 

What are yall now? The Borg?



Must assimilate!!! :laugh:

Yalls condition of being a friend seems to hinge upon folks agreeing with your POV. It might make you wonderful political allies, but it makes you look like awful Christians.

 

The one where you said:

You obviously knew the answer to that question was no; the fact that you couched it in "no matter what" is the histrionics portion; and the fact that you defended your wording indicates you prefer the emotionally charged language rather than being honest about it.

Apparently it's okay when you're judging the brethren; but how dare they judge you back....

 

:laugh::thumbs::thumbs:

 

Excellent, Don.

 

Decided to venture out on a limb and see if this would be your next reply and sure enough...

And my question was are officers generally trained to shoot to kill unarmed suspects? It was asked in lieu of a continuing pattern.

Why would I know that answer to be no given what I and others keep seeing in the news? Are you implying now that police forces ARE training officers to shoot with an outcome other than to kill?

If so, why do so many more folks get killed by the police in the United States than say in England?

I don't have a problem being judged. Y'all do it to me all the time. Y'all just get all up in arms when I do it.

 

I have a suggestion; if everyone put zaac on ignore, nobody would respond to him!
What say?????:tongue3::tongue3::tongue3:

 

He already is.

 

There are so many threads on this Ferguson subject --for lack of a better handle. But I want to know something, so I will bring it up here.

1)Every day in America blacks kill blacks.
2)Every day in America blacks kill whites.
3)Every day in America whites kill whites.

And all of those cases are murders. In these crimes no police are involved. Yet in the case of Officer Wilson shooting to death Brown, some folks automatically call it a murder. Because the principals are of different races Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and other race hustlers get involved with a snap of the fingers. Then, Holder and others come on board.

Meanwhile numbers 1,2, and 3 are off the radar as far as they and Obama are concerned. The issue of race is made paramount and common sense is nowhere to be found in segments of our society.

If a black policeman kills a black suspect, or if a black officer kills a white suspect --no big deal for the race-baiters. How very selective!

 

Yes, I realize that there must be cases where whites kill blacks. But I suspect it is statistically insignificant. I may be wrong. Please correct me if so.

And I understand that I left Hispanics and other races out of the equation. But I just wanted to address the black/white thing.

 

Why would anyone killing anyone be statistically insignificant?

What you seemed to have left out is that all of these cases that keep blowing up in the news keep dealing with UNARMED people getting killed.

 

See? Dishonesty. Your question was "no matter what."

Zaac, I've given you full marks in the past for being smarter than several of the posters that you usually banter with. Don't ruin it with foolish twistings.

Different culture.

Then when I point out the fallacies of your arguments, don't resort to "putting you on ignore." It just makes it look like I'm right and you're running away.
