"But I believe in this instance, what we have to choose between, if there's a choice to be made, is between murder and felony murder," Mr Howard said. This is way outside the norm for police shootings and could be a sign of the future. Actual accountability? --- |

| Guns_of_Verdun 06/15/20 8:35:37 PM #1 | https://www.aele.org/apa/jordan-newlondon.html Robert Jordan was a 46-year-old Caucasian who applied for a position as a police officer in New London, Connecticut. As part of the application process, Jordan completed a battery of tests that included the Wonderlic Personnel Test, a test of general cognitive ability. When Jordan later inquired about the status of his application, he was told that he had been eliminated from the applicant pool because of his score on the intelligence test - he had scored too high and was judged to be unacceptable for a job as a police patrol officer. Jordan filed a lawsuit against the city, claiming that its employment decision violated his constitutional right to equal protection under the law. City officials were then faced with preparing a defense to attempt to justify their hiring practice. But no, it's a real thing. Talk about a way for the government to insult everyone on the force. --- |

It was supposed to release at the same time as Diaster Astist for obvious marketing reasons. But Tommy Wiseau sued them with a SLAPP lawsuit that he intentionally held up in court for years to prevent it from airing because it was critical of him Just recently Wiseau has lost a countersuit and will be forced to pay millions in damages for lost revenue by preventing the releast of the movie so if you're interested in a less friendly look at the Room, check that out when it finally releases --- |

"It's okay for cops to be incompetent and brutalize or kill people if they commited a crime" is not something you can just "disagree" on Decades of this is why people are protesting right now zinezinzadan posted... The officer doesnt know if the suspect will come back running for him... When the police see violent behavior, they feel that an individual is a threat to the community. Theyre probably scared that the suspect will come back and gang up on the cops. Technically they take a risk by letting the suspect go.
It's not reasonable for police to kill people unless they have no choice. This is redoubled for situations they created due to incompetence You're arguing in favor of a complete authortatian police state with no accountability, restraint or skills. That's not a good idea or anything most people are going to accept. --- |

| Guns_of_Verdun 06/15/20 12:37:59 AM #59 | Solid Snake07 posted... This isn't about him "deserving to be shot". It's about him 100% being at fault for the series of events that transpired in a matter of seconds that lead to him being shot. That's poor logic though. The police didn't have to shoot him and screwed up repeatedly. Yeah he was a criminal, no one is denying that but going "Well he caused the series of events for police to screw up over and over and over and over an then not know how to handle themselves. Therefore it's not the cops' fault they are incompotent" is insane. Yes in almost every case of police fuck ups the perp caused the situation in which the police messed up. --- |

| Guns_of_Verdun 06/15/20 12:29:35 AM #55 | zinezinzadan posted... I dont understand why the officer was fired. In their employee contract it clearly states that you are allowed to neutralize a threat at all costs if you are being attacked. The officers were being attacked, on camera, with video evidence.... This is the grey area where I, a BLM supporter, start to lose respect for some individuals when I read the comments on social media. A couple of posts from the other topic: Guns_of_Verdun posted... A good comparison: Guns_of_Verdun posted... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_killings_by_law_enforcement_officers_by_country Whether or not the actions are legal are not always the point. A cop can kill anyone who has a weapon, that doesn't mean that they SHOULD. That's a law for desperation, not an excuse. --- |

Language is clumsly here Justified in the legal sense? Yes Justified in the ethical, moral, pragmatic sense? No.
It's not just a Southern Law it's true of pretty much every police force on Earth. If your life is in danger you're allowed to kill the perp. The law can't be specific because obviously there will be complex scenarios going on and the police need to act on the spot. So it has to be a blanket protection and police need to use their judgement The question is "just because you're allowed, does that mean you SHOULD?" --- |

| Guns_of_Verdun 06/14/20 8:02:26 PM #424 | ThisGuyAreSick posted... He wasn't even charged as a felon yet, let alone convicted. If he was a threat to the safety of officers and others, the law would say a taser is a lethal weapon. It's not.HE didn't say he was a convited felon. He said lethal force was justified under the fleeing felon rule. Which means cops are allowed to treat people suspected of commiting a felony as felons. And he's right. The cop who shot the guy did not break the law by shooting him. There are other parts of the story which might be misconduct but the actual killing is protected by letter of the law. He's not wrong when he says that. --- |
