Police not guilty in Kelly Thomas death; DA won't try 3rd officer[W:173:381]

Re: Police not guilty in Kelly Thomas death; DA won't try 3rd officer

It appears that what many are suggesting here is that the individual in question (Kelly?) did not resist until he started getting beaten even though he wasn't resisting.

Basically, I'm saying that, although I do not know whether it applies here or not.....your list does not take into account what you should do if you don't resist yet the police officer decides to beat the crap out of you anyway.

Being polite and not resisting helps a lot in avoiding an ass whippin'

Re: Police not guilty in Kelly Thomas death; DA won't try 3rd officer

What you are saying then is that there is NEVER a scenario that can be deemed excessive force, because, by your definition of excessive force, they have to have purposelyintended to crush his chest, but no cop is ever going to say he "purposely" intended to do it. Therefore, it is not up to the cop to decide whether excessive force was used, so what they "intended" is irrelevant.
Using your body weight to subdue a person is not excessive no matter how much you want it to be.

Sorry to burst your bubble, ric. Kelly did not violate any one of the pointers shown in your video.
 
Re: Police not guilty in Kelly Thomas death; DA won't try 3rd officer

Didn't you read all the posts from posters in this thread and another thread giving you their piece of mind before they threw up the towel on you? That's what they think, duh.
More logical fallacy from you huh? Figures.
You said, "Most people here and everywhere in the world". You have no idea what "most" people here or everywhere in the world think.
And I can basically guarantee you that "most" in this forum that may disagree with me, do not hold, or would make the same convoluted assertions you have made.


In this country the jury can be tampered with during the jury selection and their selection can be stacked against whichever side if either side played the game well. That's why in this day and age we have trial and jury consultant business. Also, evidence against the accused cops were excluded so jury didn't get to hear the whole truth and the murdered became the main focus of defense character assassination that had absolutely nothing to do with the night of event. So, our jury system is not about getting to the bottom of the truth but about how well either side can play the system to win the case.
Meaningless drivel. Our system is what our system is.
Excluded evidence?
iLOL :doh

So, what evidence do you think was excluded?
:lamo


But, here we are in the debate seeking for the truth based on all the evidence we can find and exclude none. So, your persistent attempt at hanging onto the jury verdict is just an exercise in futility based on logical fallacy.
The Jury is and was the final arbiter.
Their decision is the only one that matters. And their decision can not be wrong as long as long as it is based upon the law and within the evidence.
That is what you do not seem to understand. It can't be wrong. They are the final arbiter.

And while I point that out that the Jury's verdict is the finale analysis which you can not contend with, I have shown your assertions to be wrong on their own.
So try to focus.
Those are two separate things.

So, do you have any more debatable and logical point other than ranting on your lost cause that had been beaten to death many times over? Learn how to concede error when you are clearly wrong, Excon.

Still showing you are wrong.
Especially as the illogical ranting has been all yours.


Learn how to concede error when you are clearly wrong, Excon.
Yet it is you who are clearly wrong.
Even the Jury's verdict demonstrates that.


And way to dodge from showing what evidence you think was excluded.

Good, I have you accepting, he did violate something

What *other* pointers did he violate that were not on that list/video?

You are preaching to the choir. How many members are there in your choir team? I see you just have a new member.

Do you want to make up the other pointers as you go along?
 
Re: Police not guilty in Kelly Thomas death; DA won't try 3rd officer

I'll make it easier for ya..a hint

Kelly did *something* therefore, the jury *unanimously* gave a not guilty verdict

What do you think that *something* is/was?

You can't show any evidence that was was not admitted.
 
Re: Police not guilty in Kelly Thomas death; DA won't try 3rd officer

Yawn... :beatdeadhorse
Yep. That is what you have been doing all along. Kelly resisted and the Officers were not in the wrong for subduing him.


What topic? You mean the one you supporters of rogue cops had been defeated? Lay to rest now.
:lamo

There was no rouge Cops. Just saying so says you do not even know what he word means.

It is your ridiculous assertion that have been defeated.

You didn't answer my question. He had the body weight of at least 3-4 of them crushing his chest. That's 500-800 lbs.. What do you consider excessive force? 900 lbs.? A ton?

What?
There was no question in this exchange. What you are replying to, a reply of mine to what you said, contained no question.

Secondly; That is an assumption on your part. Not what the video shows.

But lets say yuou are correct and go with their full weight (an absurd claim) bearing down on Kelly.
Kelly was still resisting. You can here an Officer telling him to stop.
An Officer saying he was still fighting.

If that is what it took to subdue him, it was required, not excessive.

You can laugh at yourself for being wrong all you want.
It doesn't change the facts, or the fact that you are wrong.


Also, evidence against the accused cops were excluded
False claim.
And when challenged, he refuses to back it up with actual evidence.

Figures.

Yeah right, going by rogue cops' words as if they were gold. Of course they had to say that into the mic they were wearing in order to justify beating the crap out of a person who were merely reacting reflexively to being beaten and crushed to death. Just take a look at the video and then look at your self into the mirror. That's all you have to do.
