Topic: cop shoots man in the back - page 3. (Read 2229 times)

I'm not usually too big on these stories, like in Ferguson, it is hard to say if the person was being threatening to the cop or not.
In this case it is pretty disgusting.  The policeman in question needs to go to jail for murder, plain and simple.

I do think there is some stereotyping by the police, if you see 100 black youths with guns, you probably assume the 101st has one too, but they can't shoot people in the back and not go to jail.

Imagine what would have happened if at least 1% of the 400+ people in the Utøya island at that time were armed with guns. No more than 3 or 4 people would have lost their lives. Definitely not 77.

In a place where everyone is armed, a single person won't be able to mow down 77 people. And in Utøya, not even the policemen were armed. The results are for everyone to see.

It is not the question of holding a gun legally in this situation. It is about the the police officers who should use gun to protect the ppl and punish the criminal, not kill the innocent, especially the black. They still haven't learnt the lesson from Ferguson shooting.

It is bullshit, here in the UK we've had incidents of people getting shot by the police, yet when a real emergency happens and a psychopath goes on a killing spree they're nowhere to be seen, I'm inclined to believe other Anarchists who claim that they aren't willing to risk officers to protect people and hold back until the worst of it is over. If you didn't know, the original Tottenham protests were about a guy getting shot by the police and a bunch of chavs decided to take advantage of the chaos. Also, in regards to my comments about a psychopath, we had a guy who went on a rampage with a shotgun, the police didn't do anything until he had pretty much gotten the majority of the people he wanted to kill and there were apparently two unarmed officers tailing him at the time.

If that isn't enough to tell you these gun control advocates are full of shit, there was that incident in Norway with Breivik, where were the men with guns to save people then? In that situation I'd be happy for a just a 9mm so I can at least have a chance and I don't even touch gun really.

Stop BS. Police officers do have the right to possess firearms and to use them, even in countries (such as most of the EU nations) where the gun possession is banned for civilians.

Police are trained to shoot at the center of mass.  They repeat it over and over until it's reflex.  Once that cop made up his mind to shoot, the bullet was going to the center of mass.

Always in us, the land of freedom and equality or am I wrong? They are only poor bastards,? If the police wanted he could stop him without an useless kill (he could shoot in the leg for example).

Holy ****

Here is what is wrong with this thinking, and why it is dangerous to think like this.

What would happen if all the guns in the world were banned? I mean, if guns were formally banned worldwide, would they really be banned? Or would there be certain groups of people who would still have them and keep them?

Personally, I believe that governments, militaries, some police, and criminals would still have guns. Governments, militaries, and police are made up of people. So are crooks. Sooner or later they would use the guns they had. There is no way to ban guns from everybody.

What is happening is, people in the United States are not exercising their rights to own and use guns for protection. They have become a bunch of sissies. If they were exercising their gun rights as they should, there would be a bunch of dead cops all over the place.

The fact that multitudes of people in the United States have and use guns is the reason that much of the world is free. If the people of the U.S. lost their guns, governments all over the world would step in and take the guns from everybody else. People in gun-free countries would go into slavery from their governments, because governments in gun-free countries still have guns to force the issue.

Enforced freedom is the only way. And the common people are the only ones who can enforce freedom. And the only way they can do it is with bigger and stronger and more powerful guns.

Suddenly I am feeling lucky that I'm living a country where guns have been banned, there are many reason that U.S can't ban the guns, but the truth is guns do bring harm.

Officer shot at a unarmed black fatally again. He probably will face 30 years to life in prison or the death penalty. He deserved it. An an officer, he should have his principle at legal way to enforce the law.
