Well now that police are shooting kids already handcuffed which I expect most reasonable people would consider as government going a bit too far it tends to leave a really bad taste in the mouths of most americans, especially the targeted groups and especially now that the state converted our 'explicitly reserved right' of probable cause to probable 'suspicion'.





right to bear arms too,, don't forget that

and if anyone can carry,, what then qualifies as that armed person being a 'suspected threat?'


I guess police will have to actually be prepared to train for and DO their jobs with as much de-escalation skills as they can muster instead of the easy out that a monkey could do of pulling a trigger and taking a life




So now you disrespect law enforcement people by comparing them to monkeys?. How many times have you or one of your loved ones called these " monkey type" people when you were (or yours) were in need of help.

Do you have any law enforcement people in your family?.. Is that how you look at them?







no, IM comparing the 'easy' option of pulling a trigger with no attempt at anything else,, is 'like a monkey'


I have family who are military and police and they would say the same

don't enlist or join if you want to run around shooting folks, if that's all that was needed, they could hire monkies'

but positions that hold peoples lives in their hand, instead, take actual thought and not just action

would they really?... meaning your family members in law enforcement calling fellow police monkeys. You know speak for them? That I would have to hear for myself.

And the shooters?... the ones out there tucking that stolen gun under there shirt and then going out and pulling the trigger while committing crimes.. many times against unarmed people

Would they also fall into the monkey category?


good grief, ya know what police are first and foremost? HUMAN


and you know some humans behave like monkies and some of THOSE humans can end up entering the force''



if the shoe dont fit , dont wear it,, but the shoe fits some of them that dont need to be in the force or enlisted


and yes, ANYONE that just blindly pulls a trigger first and without any other effort to do anythng else , is behaving like a monkey

smh''


there is no 'team' that anyone is taking anything for

I believe that pulling a trigger shouldnt be the first and only option , especially with unarmed citizens

it would be equally numbnuts to have someone pull a gun on you and not defend yourself, whatever clothes or uniform you are in

Hmmm.. it would be nice if the parents of these people behaving like monkeys out there on the streets, would teach their kids not to carry illegal guns and to stop shooting people... wouldn't it?


yes, it would

lessons that would be 'nice'

1. not to carry illegal guns
2. not to shoot at any 'perceived' threat when 'threat' is so broadly defined
and

3. all life has value and is irreplaceable, even if they carry the label 'criminal' or 'suspect'

almost brings a tear to my eye.... not




yes, ask someone sane in the military

the weight of having taken a life is tragic as well


I wouldn't expect everyone to get that point in the current culture of blame instead of responsibility

So killing the enemy in battle and using a stolen gun and killing people ( many unarmed) while committing a felony is now on a equal playing field in your mind.

Newsflash.. those thugs could care less and carry no burden. The families of the people they murdered carry the burden.


Next you will say that a girl can have sex at 14 as long as she consents to it... oh wait.. you already did.







yes, for me, taking a life does and should carry a weight, because life is valuable, whomever it is

I am not in the minds of all criminals anymore than all military people, so I Cant speak to whether the all FEEL that weigh personally


but I believe, any person who takes a life, takes on a great weight


girls can have sex at 14,, btw, not that it has any relevance to this thread or whether ending a human life is a tragic choice to have on ones shoulders

well, unfortunately the thugs on the street don't see it your way because they continue to kill...most have long rap sheets which mean they could care less about their victims.

And your correct, 14 year old girls getting the o.k. from a supposed adult to have sex has nothing to do with this thread but everything to do with your outlook on society.

you see, children (and a 14 year old girl is) should not have the o.k. from a adult to have sex because the child " consents to it". Adults are supposed to know better. Adults are supposed to know about the ramifications of these acts. As in being a unwed mother now forced onto welfare... of course this tab being picked up by the citizens.

This type of mindset is why the number of unwed mothers in the black community is currently......74%... as in 3 out of 4...same mindset as feeling sorry for the criminal who now has to pay for taking a life. But I suppose that is what prison pen pals program are for.. right..

I sincerely hope you never held any sweet 16 parties


I didn't say they 'should' , I said they 'can'

simple fact

and the percentage of children BORN to unwed mothers is higher because married women are having LESS children,, not because the values of unwed mothers have gotten any worse


and BECAUSE society says its ok to give consent, the consistent thing for SOCIETY to do is not give conditions upon WHOM They can consent to have sex with


now, what kids SHOULD Do, is between their parents and them

but the LAWS on what they CAN do should be consistent

But, god bless every law enforcement officer,
who chose to serve with integrity.

And, honour, those whose lives were lost in the line of duty.

SHERIFFS RIP OBAMA: HE SIDES WITH THOSE WHO KILL US

Sheriffs rip Obama silence on murdered police, say he backs 'those that kill us'

By Paul Bedard

Scroll down for next story

By Paul Bedard(@SecretsBedard)•3/21/16 8:37 AM

Despite a 300 percent surge in the shooting deaths of police this year, President Obama has done little to signal his regret, leading law enforcement to charge that he is condoning the slayings.

"He has a microphone in his face almost every moment he's awake, and has unprecedented access to the media. He could certainly take a moment to acknowledge these events and give us the same support he provides those that attack and kill us," Carroll County, Md., Sheriff James T. DeWees told Secrets.

Since DeWees wrote an open letter to Obama on Facebook urging attention, 14 more police have been killed, six by gunfire, and the president has still hasn't addressed the issue, prompting the sheriff to add: "I also speak for thousands of police officers throughout the country that feel the White House has forgotten about them; a White House that remains silent about the uptick in deaths which ultimately gives them the perception that it's condoned; and for them perception is reality!"

More from the Washington Examiner

Dane County, Wis., Sheriff David J. Mahoney, said, "Our nation has lost its soul and that is why we struggle, and why leaders in government who define individual special interests are rising to the top of national politics in both parties."

A new national leader with the right vision is called for, he said.

"It is time that someone step forward to lead our nation and our communities who can help find our collective soul, to bring our communities and nation together in a united mission and to protect and honor those who would stand in defense of our American ideals of freedom, democracy and equality for all, and those charged with the grassroots defense of these ideals are our law enforcement officers, police, deputies, troopers and agents in every community all across our country," he said.

Also from the Washington Examiner

Despite the president's silence over the 26 police deaths this year, the administration has reached out to police groups for help in responding. But in every case, the White House has ignored the recommendations.

For example, the White House was urged to follow the practice of past administrations to have the president sign a letter of condolence to the families of killed police. It hasn't. It was also suggested that the president extend a recent Florida fundraising trip to attend a police funeral in Louisiana. He didn't.

Obama also didn't acknowledge the Feb. 27 slaying of a Prince William County, Va., officer Ashley Marie Guindon, 28. She was killed on her first day on the street just 28 minutes from the White House.

Also from the Washington Examiner

For many police, it hasn't gone unnoticed that the president is quick to speak out on those killed by police, often rallying anti-police groups.

"The president's underlying political philosophy is to keep supporters and advocates working against something, and not for something, and that is what is so distressing to law enforcement," said Jonathan F. Thompson, executive director of the National Sheriffs' Association.

laugh laugh laugh

figures don't lie but liars figure


accountability for taking a life,, that's the magic word

I know of no situation when a cop is killed and no one is held accountable


there is special ceremony, looking after the family, prosecution, and punishment often far worse than that of killing anyone else because they hold such a special position


and with special position comes special responsibility,, that above common criminals who are doing killing


so, the day when a cop killing someone is held with the same sense of accountability and justice as someone killing a cop,, maybe leaders will not have to speak up
police

until then, cops that believe a president somehow is supportive of deaths anytime they don't speak up about them,,,,perhaps are holding a superiority bias that should cause them to be watched a bit more closely

A six-month sampling (July through December) of suicides was taken during 2015 and has not been published. This study yielded a total of 51 police suicides nationwide. The figure suggests a continuing decline in this type of death. This was a sampling only, however. A full survey for a twelve-month period will be made during 2016, which will better identify any such trend.
