Police officer resigns, another is fired after Ferguson incidents[W:76]

Did you have a point when you entered that conversation?

As a matter of fact I did. you said;
The Taliban considers murder wrong too....are we disagreeing with them on that too? Even a clock is right twice a day.

Prove what you state is fact, that the Taliban considers murder to be wrong, especially after they've been seen on television executing people.

We dont show it on TV but we execute people. In thoses cases, we dont call it murder.

Tell me again what you are trying to prove here? :)

You said the Taliban doesn't believe in murder, isn't shooting people from behind murder?

I'd just like to see proof that the Taliban doesn't believe in murder, your claim.
 
Re: Police officer resigns, another is fired after Ferguson incidents

Yes, because 'likes' are so important!

I dont friend anybody and I dont care about likes but it doesnt stop me or other people from acknowledging posts they like or agree with. Nor do they have to be on 'my side' or me on theirs.

Your declaration about his reading comprehension is also silly and unfounded.

We're friends. :thumbs: And I like you.

I agree. WTF was with that post? I like so many posts on here, I don't care if the person is a "friend" or not, and I don't care about the person's lean, or if the person asked me to be a "friend".

I feel like I'm in ****ing junior high school reading posts like that.
 
Re: Police officer resigns, another is fired after Ferguson incidents

When did the Taliban have a country?

What part of 'we' = 'country?'
 
Re: Police officer resigns, another is fired after Ferguson incidents

You could go back to school if you can't comprehend the analogy of MLK not suing for civil rights of all people, vs people of Ferguson Missouri suing because their civil and constitutional rights might have been violated. I don't know of too many dead people who have risen from the grave and sued for anything.

In a lawsuit, you always start with a high figure, you can always negotiate down, but never negotiate a higher amount, unless you're bidding on an auction.

Isnt covering someone's head with a shroud and electrocuting them murder?

I never ever said they dont believe in murder. I said we recognize murder and so do they. I never said we recognize the same things as murder.

See, you really shouldnt have stepped into the conversation....you dont even have a decent point to make. Nobody cares about whatever you are attempting prove here.

The point;

Prove they don't.
 
I'm still waiting for the protestors who were, on camera, stealing and destroying in Ferguson (so they could get justice), really get justice... When are they going to jail?
 
The point;

Prove they don't.

Why? I said they do consider murder wrong. And you called out Beau on reading comprehension?????? :doh

Not reading comprehension, use of certain words.

Why does the Taliban consider murder wrong, and can you prove they do?

I'm waiting too. Let's not hold our breath though.

How would I know why the Taliban considers murder wrong, I think they are nuts. And you just asked me to prove they dont.

Is there something wrong with you? Not to mention, I am not interested in this line of conversation, as you have not given me the point you are trying to make that is remotely relevant to this thread.

Okay, we'll drop this line here then.

How do you feel about people suing because their civil and constitutional rights were violated?
 
Taliban considers murder wrong? Oh, the people they beheaded and shot from behind must have been executed huh?
They're not the 'taliban' anymore. They've re-branded themselves 'ISIS' which I guess is diet terrorism.
 
Source?

Otherwise it's BS.

Of course, if you suggest we start cutting burglars hands off, you could bring it up to the states.

Taliban shoot robbers:

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, Dec. 24— The Kandahar Sport Stadium is serene these days, its dusty brown field used by neighborhood boys for pickup games of soccer. Only the barest traces remain of the gruesome punishments meted out here by the Taliban in their archaic version of Islamic justice.

A metal goalpost is pierced with two bullet holes, a reminder of the dozens of people who were tied to it over the years and then shot to death for crimes of murder, robbery and prostitution.

There you go.

Remember, you're the one who says shooting thieves is OK.
Well, you and the Taliban.

Is this to support some point that you've never elaborated on about using lethal force to protect property?

Then you'll need to connect a few more dots....in your example, the Taliban is using it as punishment, not prevention. Altho I guess it prevents it in the future. But it had nothing to do with the protection of anyone's property after the fact.
 
Re: Police officer resigns, another is fired after Ferguson incidents

It doesn't apply? :lamo

Once again differing sentences based on circumstances specific to a crime is commonplace.
 
Officer Go **** Yourself has been forced to resign, and another officer who posted on social media sites that the Ferguson protesters should all be put down like rabid dogs has been fired.

Both decisions were good decisions. Police officers do not own the community. They work FOR the community, and the community is the boss, not them. I know that tensions have been running high in Ferguson, but if you threaten to kill people, then you do not deserve to wear a badge under ANY circumstances. End of discussion....... Or is it?

Article is here.

Maybe if the cop had apologized. Cops are human beings. This situation is intense and it's hard on them. They have to stand there and try to contain a protest from turning into more looting and property damage, while being called every name in the book, being spit on and yelled out. I imagine it's hard to take.

I would've given the cops an opportunity to chill on suspension and attend some sort of short term therapy, because of the intense situation.

The cop who said they should be put down like rabid dogs was fired probably because he posted to social media. That's a bad idea in the midst of this sort of situation. He must've been young. The older ones don't resort to social media. They drink beer and vent with their friends and family....in person.
 
Re: Police officer resigns, another is fired after Ferguson incidents

I understand what the suit is about. I just don't agree with the route they chose to take. I make no claim as to whether it is a valid suit. I do, and have, said that I don't think they will prevail, based on the limited information I know, and the circumstances upon which the police placed them under arrest, and the legal powers that the officers reportedly exercised.

I may be totally off base (it wouldn't be the first time). If so, and it turns out that I am, I will declare such openly at that time and move on.
Loser pays solve these nuisance lawsuits. Disbarring the losing lawyers might help as well.

Cops don't have automatic weapons. Hell, the site mis-identifies an M-16A1 as an M-16A2...lol!

It's a DOD site in case you didn't look closely enough. I'd trust they know their own weapons. And I'd also note they quoted a rate of fire that can only be achieved with an automatic weapon. And if you looked at the PPT they also make grenade launchers available to law enforcement.
