This is the third instance of all-inclusive cop-bashing that I have seen TODAY. People get a few speeding tickets and come to whine on the forums about it?


To the OP: If there is a violent criminal that broke into your house, and you had a chance to call 911 for help....would you?

Rubber Bullets are no laughing matter and these cops were idiots to laugh about it.

Cops killed a student who was celebrating the Red Sox world series victory a few years back with rubber bullets and the parents won millions in a court judgement:

LOL! That was a good shot. 😀

You know, when a cop tells you to do something, it would be in your own best interest to do as they say. :roll:

He's probably talking about the lady getting shot through the posterboard and in the forehead, at least I hope thats what he's talking about.

"Haw haw, we dun shot that lady in duh hed."

And people wonder why we fight authority tooth and nail? Every single one of those cops that laughed is a dirty pig. The others should feel guilty by their association with them.

Why the hell should anyone respect that kind of person?

Wow, overreact much? I'm assuming that you've never, ever, laughed at someone getting hurt? It's not like they were there cheering on the cop that shot her....

Making stupid generalizations like that makes you look just as idiotic as the cops that shot her in the back with rubber bullets. Is English your first language btw?

Your title is kind of misleading, the first thing that I thought was that they actually shot someone with real bullets not non-leathal ammo. Anyways, it appears as though they shot her when she was just standing there, very bad decision IMO. If the crowd was going crazy and they were shooting the rubber bullets for that reason I could understand it, but not if she is just standing there, even if she was refusing to move, in that case I'd think the better alternative would be to take her into custody since she didn't really seem combative, or worst case scenario use pepper spray.

How about leave her alone. You know like the 1st amendement requires.

That would be a command decision, not something the cops on the front line in riot gear would be making....

It does matter what command says. The cops are not allowed to break the law because they where order to do so.

Sorry, you can't just pick and choose what you feel like doing in a situation like that, its not like a traffic stop and the amount of discretion that you can use...

Why were the cops trying to break up that protest? Did they meet any violent resistance, violent acts, vandalism, etc...?

Clear the person didn't break the law or she would have been arrested. There is no indication she was doing anything but peacefully protesting the police presence.

I understand that and I even noted it in my previous posts, you seem to have a problem with the cops being there at all and trying to break up the protest, but you can't even answer my question as to what the circumstances were....

I did it answer it. She was doing nothing wrong. If she was she would have been arrested.

How do you know if she was doing something wrong when you don't even know the circumstances? If they were trying to move the protest or disperse it for lawful reasons and she wouldn't allow them to do that then she was doing something wrong....again, please explain to me the circumstances and what the police were trying to do when they were in formation walking towards her.

I know she was doing anything wrong because as I said 3 times now SHE WAS NOT ARRESTED. Beside the fact that she is doing nothing wrong is on the god damn video.

Here's a little inside info, just because you are doing something wrong doesn't mean that you get arrested. I got off with a warning the last time I got caught speeding, does that mean that I wasn't breaking the law? And I'm sure you know everything about the circumstances of a protest that probably lasted all day long from a 30 sec video clip.....:roll:

But where were you shot? OH! You "got off", now I get it.

Like this thread about TravisT's 5 yr-old nephew being killed by a police officer?
Cop shoots a snake

 

[Jaskalas]

And people wonder why we need a second amendment. To enforce justice when the government abandons it.

Yeah, I watched a lady get mugged the other day it was almost as funny as the gang rape a week before.

Is that kind of like asking if they are lawfully killing jews or just trying to eliminate them and some one is stopping you from doing that what do you do?

Anyways to answer your question I would suggest a tank.

I'll ignore the retardation and try and continue with a somewhat civil discussion...So do you think that there should be absolutely no limits on protests?

You seem to be confusing lawfull and justice. There is a difference.

Your question was answered by my first post in this thread.

How about leave her alone. You know like the 1st amendement requires.

Ok, so you'd be perfectly fine with me and 4 of my friends holding a protesting Al Gore polluting with his private jet every single day during rush hour in the middle of one of the busiests highways in the country, taking up every single lane so no car can pass?

I'm not here to write a supreme court decision. I'm talking about this case. If you wish to make an argmunent on how one person with a sign is less of a disturbance to traffic then 50 storm trooper shooting at unarmed civilians be my guest.

So you're going to ignore my question instead of conceding the fact that I might have a point....thanks for clearing that up.

Your point has nothing to do with this case.

You don't know that because you don't know WTF even happened before that clip, neither of us do, you even admitted that yourself. Do you even know what my point is?

"Either way, nothing that she did according to that video warranted getting shot by non-lethal rounds. Like I said earlier, the only thing that I can think of was that they were trying to disperse or move the protest and she wouldn't move, which in that case they should have taken her into custody"

Obviously it appears that they took the wrong course of action by shooting her with non-lethal rounds, IF she was trying to stop them from dispersing or moving the protest (IE. standing in front of them while they are trying to move the crowd, etc...) they should have taken her into custody. But its not evident from that tape if thats what was going on or not. I'm just trying to figure out why they took any action against her at all....and that was the only logical thing that I could think of.

Because they are corrupt pigs. They shoot at her for fun. Of course it isn't evident from the video that she wasn't stopping them because SHE WASN'T STOPPING THEM WHICH IS EVIDENT FROM THE VIDEO. Lets of course ignore the fact that one person with a sign isn't going to stop anything.

 

[BigRig04]

I really fail to understand how this has gotten so circular....I mean, hell, you both agree with each other, but feel the need to keep arguing.. Yes, the force was escessive, and yes, there are probably other circumstances that led to the point that we don't know.

All things said and done, without more info, this is just going to be a looping arguement between two groups of people that see the world differently...
