Officer "Go **** Yourself" Threatens to kill journalist

I don't care about that.
You said you don't care about your own link, and now you say you don't care about the words you use. You seem kind of reckless.

And I am not worrying about assault weapons versus assault rifles... although you seem unwilling to be rational about it so please go away thinking whatever you like. I love guns and the only people more stupid than those that have to differentiate between types of guns are the ones complaining/whining/bitching that an assault weapon versus an assault rifle actually matters when it comes to a perp walking into a building with unarmed people and executing them.
I didn't see where this cop walked into a building and fired on protesters. Link?

Well, again... Given how they were shouting at people not to throw things, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that those people really weren't all that "peaceful" in the first place. They looked a lot more like an angry mob going out of their way to provoke a response.

Frankly, they got what they were looking for.

I do agree that the police officer's response was out of line. However, that is exactly why he was removed from the situation by the other officers on the scene, and has since been suspended pending investigation.

If I were to put money on it, I'd bet that the cop in question probably got hit by an object thrown by some belligerent jackass in the crowd, and that's why he flipped out.
If I were one of the Guard units responding to the riot, and someone tried to throw a heavy object at me, I would shoot that person. That's exactly what the military trains us to do. I would not, however, rais my rifle unless it was to shoot.

My link said where you don't have to adjust for elevation. You seem like you are out to distort what another says and then insinuate that they are ignorant or worse, lying.

Are you drunk because I was clearly talking about something else. In fact, I thought you would agree with it. Either way... trying to be clear and honest with you is a stupid waste of time.
 
The aditude and the words are fine, its the pointing of the rifle which creates a problem. Someone mentioned earlier that military units trained in riot control are taught to project agression through voice and bodylanguage. That's true, but the weapon is never raised exept to fire.

Raising his weapon is the only thing this officer did wrong, and it should land him in prison.




Some time behind bars has helped a lot of people to adjust their attitude.

Not to mention Jerry completely misses the fact that the police are not military and that they are dealing with unarmed civilians in 99.9% of these cases, if not more.
 
Double standard. No two ways about it. He should be immediately fired and charged with reckless endangerment and whatever else might cover this situation.

You wandered away from the thread topic? Would you like to lable your whole comentary as a strawman, a redharring, or just irrelevant? Please try to keep focuse in the future.

Ah yes, the police are not the military. I wish someone would remind them of that...

Once a person clearly shows no intention of being honest it is time to treat that individual as such... sorry little buddy, I thought we were past this a long time ago, my bad...

It seems this officer was merly reacting instead of making a deliborate and meashured 'violence of action'. He shouldn't be a cop regardless, imo.

He could probably qualify for the military though... or at least the National Guard.
 
Shouldnt the cops have shot the rogue cop dead? Some dude with a knife threatened a cop and they shot him dead. This cop points an assault weapon at weaponless, peacefull protesters and threatens to kill him and yet no cops shot him. Maybe if the cop was black the other cops would have shot him? (facetious last comment)

The journalist caused all this mess and keep agitating it.

Personal liability. That would help things out a bit, I think. Take the lawsuit awards out of their paychecks.

Of course, firing all government police agents and allowing individuals to determine their own security needs would be much better, but I realize that most people are afraid of self-reliance.

Society is too soft for that... always has been really, at least in modern times and once duals and such were outlawed. If there were not cops I would have guns in a second, almost did anyway but we moved to New Zealand were there really are no guns allowed.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm... the journalist caused this mess? Agitating means a gun is pointed at you and the wielder will threaten to kill you... for agitating?

Can you explain the cops who were yelling something to the effect of "stop throwing things".

If you pick up a bottle, a rock, or a picket stick, you are now armed.

By all rights that cop should have been shot dead then and there.

Can you explain why every night when the Ferguson cops decide to get all tactical it escalates matters and they start acting like the key stone cops during amateur hour? It is a joke...

... and I see that you are remaining as dishonest as you apparently still are. I said: Jerry completely misses the fact that the police are not military and that they are dealing with unarmed civilians in 99.9% of these cases, if not more, but you don't actually address THAT. :lol:

Ahh is that why you assume the cop had an assult-weapon and not an assult-rifle? You should know that many police departments have assult-rifles eventhough they arent military.
 
I never said they were :)

By comparing what they are doing to military training your are attempting to give legitimacy to their actions... pathetic. :(

I never assumed that... why do you assume that I did? I only said that people whine like little children about the difference. The guy could have had a musket, a Vulcan mini-gun or an RPG for all I care because the type of weapon that the cop had is totally irrelevant.

I can explain that, actualy. People don't like the feeling of a police state. We like our slavory more subliminal.

I've adressed that post. Maybe its your bed time.

I can never tell if it is obtuse or clever with you... addressing "the post". :lol:

... of course "the content and context" are what is relevant... but you addressed "the post". Nice! :lol:
