The left has found a way to benefit from this. They are using the shooting to demand that the government seize guns from the hands of innocent, non-violent citizens and from all police.

This cop is an exception. What he did does not reflect the actions of anyone else.

Don’t hire incompetents to fill AA quotas!

My uncle help defend Australia during World War II when he was in the U.S. Army.

I’m sorry he bothered.

Maybe we should ban muzzie cops?

Chinese hordes are also a possibility.

The author congratulates places like NYC, Chicago and San Francisco for their strict gun control, then blames their high murder rate on other States not having gun control. Ugh!

It’s possible he never saw her face. Most cops keep their eyes on the hands in a perceived dangerous situation. Most likely the woman approached the car from behind and appeared suddenly in the window after the loud sound.

Australia’s gun control laws have disarmed the police?

now that’s pretty ignorant, discussing gun control when the gun was in the hands of a copper

To them, any restrictions that can be placed on the possession of firearms is “A-Otay!” regardless of who’s being restricted.

I don’t talk about my guns - but do spread the work far and wide about my optics. When folks know (or think) I have thermal imagers and Gen 3+ night vision, it at least makes them think twice about their safety at night.

Like sub-Saharan Africans, Somalians aren’t exactly the sharpest knives in the block.
This terd shot an unarmed woman to death with absolutely no provocation. The last explanation I heard for this atrocity is that he heard a “loud noise”.
Whatever police personnel employee approved this candidate should be given her/his walking papers.

But diversity is our strength, they will say. Like magistrate Monica Herranz of Portland, Oregon, recently cleared by her county bar after aiding an illegal in escaping ICE in March, this primate will walk.

I am pretty sure HER religion has nothing to do with this.

After the fact

If he was intelligent enough to become a police officer, he’d better run.

Statistically, if you take all guns away from Democrats, gun deaths would decline considerably.

Then, if you somehow magically could take all guns away from all non high school graduate, non military, and unemployed black males, “homicidal” gun deaths would go to virtually zero.

I’m quoting from memory and based upon a FR article I read a couple months back so take this for what it’s worth. I don’t have a source to cite.

We have a trainload of gun laws on the book in Chicago, liberal democrats will not enforce them. St. Paul is as liberal as Chicago.

Liberals gave Noor this gun. Conservatives, if they had had their way, would not have done so.

It’s more about cop culture in the US and how cops are trained there compared to the rest of the world.
