Why would that happen? Can we have a show of hands here on FR of all the people who the cops have opened fire on?
I'm sure there are not many on FR that could say that; however, there are numerous articles about police entering the wrong house and firing on the worng individuals - see LAPD shooting at 2 newspaper delivery women and man it just happened to be driving a pickup for example. Maybe you can find them on FR now.
Further, under the details provided when the story broke....before all of the updates - the story was there was a gun battle and police believed it was Dorner they were shooting at.
The poster I was responding to had remarked along the lines of why someone would shoot at the police when there were so many police and helicopters in the area.
My response was if police shot at me, I would return fire. It was hypothetical and had nothing to do with you snippy bullshit remark about how many FReepers have ever been shot at by police. It has nothing to do with the price of tea in China. I'm sure you'll ask me to find a link........it's called google - you can go ahead and look it, I've already provided two well known recent examples.
I will say this, I have been dragged out of a pickup and cuffed at gunpoint by police before because someone had made a false statement (proven false by video evidence) that he had threatened them with a rifle (he didn't even have a rifle or any firearm for that matter) and I was in the vehicle with him when we were stopped.....had they decided to just open fire, like the LAPD, instead of detain; I would've fired.
a cop murderer is dead What about the young female basketball coach and her fiance? Don't they count? Are you so blinded by your cop hatred?
Yes I am so blinded by my hatred of cops that I called Dorner a cop murder and remarked he was dead. I don't even know what the point of your contradictory question was. I guess because you think I hate cops so much that when I stated a cop killer was dead, I forgot to mention someone else, not a cop, was also murdered? Wouldn't that mean I hate civilians and found them not worthy to mention?
BTW, the young female basketball coach....he fiance WAS a cop.
Lastly, in the initial story, as it was breaking, it was Wildlife had fired at him and Dorner had fired at the Wildlife vehicle.
I don't know what you are upset about and why you are trying to take things out of context......I said society is better off he is dead.
I'm glad he is dead.
I don't know what else you expect me to say. What I will not agree to is the LAPD shooting up random vehicles and people because they're scared. What I will not agree to is police torching an innocent third party's property when they didn't know if there was anyone else inside.
The police should not be walking around with looser ROE than infantry troops deployed to a war zone.
If you think otherwise, that's your perspective; I don't give a damn. If you somehow think I hate the police because because I called a cop murder a cop murder and think the LAPD was wrong to shoot at random civilians.....well, that's your foolishness. Or maybe you're upset because I think it is wrong of San Bernadino PD to intentionally premeditated torch an innocent person's property.....I don't know. Maybe you believe only cops have any type of rights in this country.
If that makes me a cop hater......well than Alaska, you got me - I hate cops; you win. So be it. Report me to flag@whitehouse.gov or whoever else your jackboot masters are.
Maybe you'll tell me again I have no credibility because I don't like the NRA helped draft anti-gun legislation. I don't know.
Please please educate me in the ways of doublethink.
Not a criminal apologist like you, obviously. What justification did the fleeing fugitive have for firing on law enforcement?
I have been dragged out of a pickup and cuffed at gunpoint by police had they decided to just open fire
They didn't, did they?
I don't give a damn
That's obvious.
Maybe you believe only cops have any type of rights in this country.
That proves that you are either misinformed or ignorant.
your jackboot masters
OMG, you need the assistance of a psychiatrist.
