WTF dude? How dare you waltz into this conservative kumbaya circle jerk and suggest that 80% of cops have little penises and were bullied during childhood and school and now need to compensate for this shortcoming in their life with a position of power. Cops do NOT put their pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us mere mortals that have larger penises (> than 5").

And because of their position of power and clearly arduous vetting process to become guardians of the public interest, they're way beyond human error and mistakes. Shame on you for insinuating anything else, you liberal traitor. Your rhetoric is nothing but liberal crapola, steaming pile of NPR, hide in your shell bias. Please become a man, buy by some guns and ammo before you trot in here and start spouting this nonsense. Better yet, move to Texas or Arizona and they will show you what a real man is made of. Where men are men and even the women are mightier and bolder than most of the milk toast wimps that live north of the Mason Dixon line.

I would accuse you of having a lot of hubris for posting some of this crap but any man not living in Texas or AZ should not get such a compliment.

Now go away before someone punches you in the face, big nose.

Here is the exact reason why I bowed out of this discussion, writ large. I'm hardly defending what the man said as much as taking you to task for what your wrote in response. This is thoughtful? This is factual?
"Your rhetoric is nothing but liberal crapola, steaming pile of NPR, hide in your shell bias. " Maybe in your world calling someone "liberal" is akin to calling them a fagot but I'll take your obloquy and wear it with pride. I get it. It's not about thought or critical analysis but tribal, group speak. But really? Is this what passes in your mind for thoughtful analysis? "steaming pile of NPR:" I've never understood the hostility to any news organization attempting to present the facts as reported. It's like when I quoted Obama reciting the sad criminal justice statistics and Kelly's sad response was to dismiss them because they came from Obama. They are still true.
There have been at least 4 iies presented here that no one has even thought to correct. Indeed those lies have been championed. NPR, like the Washington Post, NY Times, National Review attempt to present facts. Facts don't have an ideology but how facts are used sure do. What does it mean that lies are presented and allowed to stand unchallenged by everyone posting here? What does it mean when your sole contribution is to take a very legitimate argument: that there are some who enter law enforcement who are not there to protect and serve to exercise a God complex? This is news? If we are going to stand firm wearing our tribal flags there is no way to communicate. I know you are a thought person. This was not one of your better posts showing off that ability.

It is not about the post to which you responded. It is your response.

Alan, you might want to check the batteries on your sarcasm meter. Me thinks it has quit working. I thought I was over the top enough for it to be obvious.

If you can't release enough hot air from their heads to clear their minds then I say, flog them with humor. Trying to rationalize with conservatives is akin to wrestling with pigs in the mud. Futile and the pigs enjoy it.

And what better way to chase EG's post count? (I know, I know...that too is futile)

He told the cops he had was CCing so they wouldnt freak out. He was reaching for his wallet when he was murdered.

The guy who was restrained on the ground by two cops and shot 3 or four times in his chest... F'd up boys. Sorry totally f'd up.

There are great cops & shitty cops.

Oh, and cry me a river Impact. This is why I have been spending far less time here... the same good ol' boys with the same right-wing ignorance coming out of the woodwork with their conservative hypocritical narrow minded racist opinions.

The conservative tree house... LOL! What a total joke.

BTW, why did you PM me and ask what part of Seattle I live in? Pretty weird dude!

Just sayin the Alton shooting was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. Do you support their actions??? If you do I'll say it again GFY. Sorry to offend your conservative values (although they don't really have any). And if ya wanna know where I live... I'll think about reporting you to the authorities. K?

And this sort of crap is exactly why this belongs in the intermission or everything else folder, where I don't have to see it.
Don't ask me to 'just ignore it' -- I tried and failed.

I'm not a fan of most LEOs. In general, I think most are looking for a power trip and would run from their own shadow if you took away their badge and gun. But I didn't see LKII's post as cop worshiping. I saw it as an explination from someone that has first hand knowledge of how cops are trained to respond to situations like the two recent events.

As for the DPD using a bomb on the guy, yes, that seems extreme at first impression. But keep in mind he had already killed 5 cops. He made it clear he wanted to kill more cops. He knew he wasn't going to survive unless he just gave up. He wasn't willing to surrender. He had taken a tactical position giving himself the advantage over any attacker. And he probably had better training than most of the cops that would have gone in after him. So why would you expect the DPD to send officers in on a suicide mission?

Really? you know this how? It wasn't on the girlfriend's video because she didn't start filming until after he was shot. You've been misinformed by the media. It's ok, I made the same mistake initially. Go watch the video and then come back and tell me where he claimed to have a CCW permit. Btw, due to his criminal record, he couldn't qualify for one.



The guy was on his back with his hand under his body where his gun was also at. He was trying to get the gun out to shoot the cops. Again, watch the video. As for shooting him 4 times, LEO's are trained to double tap every time. They are also trained to shoot until the threat is neutralized. 4 is not excessive. It's not Hollywood

The PoPo could have put a gas canister on the robot and put the "bad guy" out of commission with tear gas or sleeping gas without killing him. The fact that he kills 5 LEOs just points to how ill prepared LEOs are. The fact that the PoPo killed the guy makes me think this was another government sponsored false flag... they are spose to apprehend the bad guys, not act as judge, jury, and executioner. Thanks Barry Obummer.

Sleeping gas? Ok, you've seen too many movies. I don't think there is even such a thing in reality. Reality is, you don't Dick around with someone that wants to kill you. It's basically the same as why the Cincinnati zoo didn't try to tranquilize the gorilla. Btw, he would have had military training in facing tear gas.

As for the false flag statement, next time lead with that, so I know what I'm dealing with up front. Turn off Alex Jones before you kill all your brain cells.

Whaaaatttt???!!??? Turn off Alex????? He's one of the top 5 stand up comedians on the planet.

Spot on Fins....

Stan, You need to be the one doing some research. How is it that you tell us that we do not know what we are talking about? We HAVE researched it BEFORE opening our mouths. You are just spewing the same crap as MSNBC.

Mario, Is this thread so compelling that you just HAVE to open it and read. Do you just HAVE to open the cookie jar for one more cookie? Show some self restraint if you do not want to see it. The rest of us see the need for the conversation. Do not go to the dark side and try and put a stop to the first amendment.

Harry, I see it as an "eye for and eye". If I was in charge(thank goodness I was not :>) ), I would have lobbed grenades at his ass.

I started this thread to begin the healing process, that was all. The conversation is good except for Stan and his ranting. If I were the moderators, I would give him a nice month off and a warning that if he continues, a permanent ban.

My nickle,
RR

Sorry man, didn't realize I was dealing with such a simpleton.
