Pasco on edge: 'We don't want another Ferguson here'

[cirrrocco]

I don't understand this line of thinking. Why should the police risk injury to innocent bystanders and themselves to make sure some aggressive crazy guy doesn't lose his life? I'd much rather see the crazy guy get shot than have others needlessly injured.



Allow the guy to do what he was doing? I think not.

if you did see the video, during the first round of shootings, they were shooting and the guy was running and not so close. They did not hit him and the bullets could possibly have hit innocent bystanders. so don't give me the crap that the cops had bystanders in mind.

In some of the interviews, some parents shopping said that there was a high chance that some of the bullets could have hit them.

It is very clear in the video, that his hands were empty when he turned and put his hands up. Did you also see the PIGS handcuff the dead man.. fucking mofo's

Pretty sure the bullets where a far greater threat to the innocent bystanders than the rocks that he was no longer throwing. Just saying...

Anybody see the Hannibal Buress skit where he is dressed as a cop, and he goes out with a platter of snacks and pizza and a 40oz and walks around drinking, serving people food, and telling people that "yesterday we were protecting, today we're serving" lol.



At one point some guys comes up and says "you can't be drinking on the job!" and he gets in their face... they could do so much more with that skit.

Our community kept it classy, voiced how they felt, but did not damage businesses. Kudos!

That's awesome. Hopefully you guys can keep the crazies out and let it be dealt with on the local level. There are obviously people who have genuine concerns that will come and help, but there are a tiny few who will come just to stir shit up to see chaos happen.

Let me update; clueless racist (the worst kind).

Go fuck yourself, then let me educate you about me. I will call out anyone for a bad show, no matter what their race is. That does not make me a racist!

If you knew me, which apparently, you don't, you would know that when we have family gatherings, Sunday dinners, where we have 20+ guests, I am the only white guy in the room. My wife is Filipino and my kids are brown. My Sister in law is Filipino and she has one child who is half Pakistani. Her fiancee, whom our family loves, is a black, hard working, kind man. My best friend, going back to high school....is black.

So, YOU, calling me a racist, is offensive to me. When people of any color teach their kids to be thugs and burn down buildings, act like apes, I am not down with that! Our community has a different culture and different teachings, obviously much better people, than those who behave like rabid apes, as they did in Ferguson.

The biggest hammer in the drawer, for leftists, always seems to be playing the race card. That's racist!

I live in Pasco and have had a few interactions with the local police. They always were very professional and I think they do a excellent job.

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this and let them conduct their own investigation. Just my .02..
