Why I’m Not Convinced Michael Slager Is a Cold-Blooded Killer

Pajamas Media ^ | 04/14/2015 | Jack Dunphy

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Cold blooded?

No.

Killer?

Yes.

If I am going to shoot someone I have to show that the person was an immediate threat to myself or others.

Twenty feet away and running from me does not cut it unless they were armed and with something a little more lethal then a tazer.

[RedStateRocker]

Better way of putting it.

[Crim]

Blood is thicker than water...and blue is thicker than blood.

[Osage Orange]

I can think of plenty of scenarios...where I’d have no problem shooting someone in the back.

Does it ever occur to this community that you should actually cooperate with Police, instead of always fighting them? Police Officers are human beings, too, and surely would appreciate civil treatment.

Perhaps you're right.

What would the Founders do?

Oh, wait - the Founders weren't "blessed" with "a cop under every rock", and didn't feel it necessary to tax themselves to the gills to support this type of standing army.

And as to their views on standing armies...

Police Officers are human beings, too, and surely would appreciate civil treatment.

And the less of them there are, the more civilly they'll be treated, I would bet.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, as the saying goes...

Walter Scott went to lengths to avoid police
http://www.yakimaherald.com/news/livenews/3074139-8/walter-scott-went-to-lengths-to-avoid-police

He did his best to avoid them, yet still they found him...

That tells me something about our "embarrassing wealth" of law enforcement officers - one for every 350 peasants.

I notice them everywhere, too - and their nice gas-hog rigs...

[kiryandil]

I wonder why Walter Scott did that caused him to be tasered. What ever it is, it has to be more than a busted tail light.

Perhaps he didn't "submit" fast enough.

Of course, "submitting" really fast might just buy you a few kicks in the testicles, a bunch of kidney shots, and a few punches in the head, San Bernardino-style...

[kiryandil]

They CAN’T cooperate with the police because they’re committing crimes. Did it ever occur to them to OBEY the law?

So, have Lois Lerner (multiple felonies), Charlie Rangel (tax evasion), Hillary Clinton (again, multiple felonies), Jon Corzine (co-mingling client accounts - felonies galore) or Al Sharpton been arrested yet?

Or do only the peasants have "OBEY the law"?

[kiryandil]

I'm against using deadly force merely for what someone "might" do. I'd listen to an argument about what someone is likely to do. Anybody "might" do anything.

That's how they slid the Booze Revenue DUI laws in - pre-crime...

RE: Perhaps he didn’t “submit” fast enough

SUBMIT? All you need to do is produce your driver’s license, insurance and registration, sit in the car and wait for your ticket.

I’ve been there and I got a conditional ticket contingent upon my fixing the busted light within a day ( and I didn’t even have to pay a fine ). If that’s what SUBMIT is, then I submitted. I got let go in 5 minutes.

There’s more to this stop than meets the eye,

[kiryandil]

SUBMIT is "code" for you on your belly, face in the dirt, knee in your back, and hands cuffed behind your back.

It's a power-trip thingee...

[SeekAndFind]

RE: SUBMIT is “code” for you on your belly, face in the dirt, knee in your back, and hands cuffed behind your back.

Well, if I encountered a cop who asked me to submit like that for a stupid busted tail light, I’d do it. But I’d sue his ass off in court the next day.

Somebody ought to teach black folks to learn to do it the right way.

BTW, those night time speed limits on the wide open
interstate in Texas are rediculas.

**************

Are you talking pre Aug 2011 or after? Texas eliminate both
the night time and truck limits and all operated under one limit.

[FreeReign]

Before 2011. Good to hear that they eliminated it.

Also, the post rebuts the b.s. pushed by Slager’s own dept., SLED, the media, and even many Freepers regarding the outset of this case.

What a load.

One of the darts is stuck in Walter Scott's leg, and the wire loops over Officer Trigger-Happy's arm as the Taser scoots backwards and pulls the line taut.

Just like Zimmerman, Slager should have stayed in his cruiser, and not gone looking for trouble.

And just like Zimmerman, his life is destroyed, no matter what happens now.

The police "brotherhood" should have spoken up about the Zimmerman railroading. I predicted that something like this might come of them keeping mum about what that sl*t Angela Corey was up to.

And now here it is...

[Theophilus]

I’ll have to watch my back when I’m visiting Ft Sill then :-)

[kiryandil]

Here's what I wrote back in August of last year, during the Left's takedown of Darren Wilson:

kiryandil wrote: The police brotherhood screwed up BIGTIME when they let Angela Corey and the Lefties take down George Zimmerman without getting in their faces, and reiterating LOUDLY and STRONGLY that Zimmerman "feared for his life".

The Left learned from those events, and is now INSIDE the Blue shieldwall, hacking and slashing like the barbarian Huns. Darren Wilson's life is over, the same as George Zimmerman's - and there will be more police officers to come.

I'm not sure what the Left is up to, but it can't be good...
