He may have been a Baptist, he may have been bipolar, and if had been holding a satanic bible crying out to lucifer, it still has the appearance of bully police work.

No, the story has the appearance of a standard lame stream media report--devoid of facts and strong on hype--getting a bunch of people's panties in a knot because they hate cops or have a Christian martyr complex.

Look at this thread, it's a cavalcade of uninformed ignorance passing judgment on a couple of guys who put their lives on the line every day because they think that anyone who is a Christian is automatically free of suspicion and therefore these cops MUST be wrong.

Not even trying to hide your bigotry, huh?

Not even trying to hide your ignorance, huh?

The term "Christian" was used as a modifier of paranoiacs to describe which subsection of paranoiacs I was talking about. As in, the paranoiacs who happen to be Christian. If I said that all Christians are paranoiacs, that could be bigotry (if it were shown not to be true), but by phrasing it the way I did, I was not being bigoted, just precise. I didn't want to smear all the paranoiacs with the taint of that which is particular to the Christian paranoiacs.

Did you learn that phrase in the academy?

Who said I attended the academy? 'cause one doesn't have to be a cop to get pissed off when cops are attacked without basis.

No. The story has been reported worldwide because this isn't the first such story about tasers and the Bible is an important part of the story because he wasn't carrying a weapon and was probably acting like your average street preacher. Don't know if you have ever lived in a large metropolitan area and come across one on the street. Some I have seen act mentally deranged.

This kid might have had biological issues (as has been reported in the articles you say are strong on hype). Ha, since when has the lamestream media been sympathetic to Judeo-christian religious types?

Instead of calling people who are troubled by what has been reported thus far, "cop haters" "paranoics" and people with "christian martyr complex" did you every stop to wonder like many of us are, why they needed TWO taser shots? Yeah, you can call me judgmental and ignorant, it still appears to me to be bully SISSY police work.
