Topic: Unarmed teen shot by cops for a sandwich - page 2. (Read 3160 times)

The officer chased the man, an altercation ensued and the man fired at the officer, the police chief said. The officer returned fire and killed the man, who was 18.

Where in the article does it say that?

A lot of people think this. In fact most urban cops shoot very little and when they do they shoot in some cramped indoor range. If you are a serious amateur then you know I would not be bragging to say I shoot way better than most cops. My dad was a cop (St. Louis county). Even as a kid I shot better than almost all his cop friends.
The secret is trigger time. I shoot a few hundred rounds a week. A typical cop may take 6 months to shoot that much.  Because cops do not use their guns much at all, they do not need to practice all that much. A cop's pen, or a their radio is far more useful.

That might be true. But there are valid reasons for that as well. Most of the home invasions / store robberies in urban areas are carried out by armed black youth. So the police officers view all of them with suspicion.

I wish people would wake up and realize how terrible our police is becoming.

Awful stuff here...

Kluge gets it 

You can sit with us.

Appealing to emotion is the oldest tactic in politics. Every gun control ad has children on them. Every "counter-terrorist security measure" (euphemism for illegal searches) notice has Airplanes or tall buildings drawn on it, subliminal messaging.

Not sure I'd blame protesters. They aren't doing much rioting. Reporters broke the camel's back and maybe should be brought up on charges for being so irresponsible and greedy, but it's clearly part of something bigger which just needed a tiny spark to set off. Parents insisting he had only some type of bullet-firing sandwich didn't help, either... -but people are clearly looking for some kind of responsible leaders on this who can cause the sparks and bring the change they want instead of letting faux reporters and shootings set off uncontrolled & undisciplined responses. The LA riots are still well-known - so like with Vietnam, people are going to scrutinize anything done now looking for parallels -- there's no place for violence in causing change for the better right now. They seem like they have a lot of pent up anger at what's happening but've been disenfranchised and became cynical in the old leadership structures in the black community which lacks any catalyzing figure or progress they can feel. The media establishment pushes toothless profiteers like Al Sharpton, but the responses seen, especially in Ferguson, makes it clear these kinds of people are utterly ineffective. Obama's probably the best leader the black community is being given right now, but he really can't connect to people and catalyze movements the way someone on the outside could and I'd argue he lacks credibility, now. I'd guess he would've been a much more effective leader as a senator and could've had a lasting legacy, maybe even a national day.

-But what the Hell do I know about this?

I agree. And further, when government tries to step in and prevent me from self-protection, here's some of the stuff I do:

And I do it in such a way that I get some profit out of it.

Look, it's the fault of the city council for not making sure that police policy is properly expounded. Police have, in the past, simply done what is reasonably right. Since there is FBI training involved these days, police are trained to do what is wrong. Now, it is up to the city council to familiarize themselves with what is going on, including police policy, and what police policy really should be, and then fire the whole police department if necessary, and restart a new one with the correct policies in place.

The people need to do something about the city council in ways that are peaceful and legal.

The best reward you can give me is spreading awareness. Talk back to the anti-gun social democrat movement.

As a private journalist I can confirm this is accurate.

However, police are more likely to shoot black unarmed teens than armed white rednecks.

Also, racism is dead. Source: Fox News!!!

Don't believe me? Just look at how we got a black president (Ugh!)

You are right.

Apparently, you don't always need a gun though. Or to be able to hold one, for that matter.

All ages, all walks of life.

You can put your head in the sand, but that only makes your ass an easier target.

Is this America's Arab Spring?  Is this where it all ends?!   

First of all, no, police don't normally receive much training in marksmanship, and very few are actually professional shooters. Secondly, and more importantly, the targets at the shooting range don't shoot back. That does make a bit of a difference.

Um, no. It's not safe for any citizen that comes in proximity of the police to pull out a gun and start firing in their direction. So don't do that.

@OT,

Why is the title "unarmed teen" if the teen shot at the cop?!

Or is this the receipt for his "sandwich":

2 pieces of metal "gun shape" for bread
6 slices of full metal jacket
1 trigger
?
