I wait with bated breath to discover just what your opinion on this will be LT. Will you side with the kid? Will you side with the cops? It's almost impossible to say, as we have absolutely no prior experience of your opinion on these sorts of cases. Exciting stuff.

You think that it was his fault for brandishing a stick around them / their job is dangerous / better than a dead Cop / anyone would do the same if their life was on the line / add some links to shot cops in the US.

Its groundhog day again on TiBB Debates.

Are you saying that it's right that the police shot a child because he was holding a broom?

One event caused the other, if the police weren't inept then there wouldn't have been a riot.

we have no idea what happened as the facts have not come out, even if the police did shoot the person when restraint could have been better applied


1. they did not so it because they wanted to
2. They did not do it because they are evil muderers

So the people there regardless shopuild not attack thje police as they had no idea what went on

You cannot encourge mob justice

I've not spoken about mob justice, nor encouraged it. I've only said that the riot was a direct consequence of the police officers' actions. I don't condone it but you can't use it to remove blame from the police, that's just really desperate.

There's nothing contradicting the events present in the story, no one's come out saying any differently, no one is contesting the eyewitness' version of events. How long do you intend to wait for a magical non-existent justification for the murder of a teenager?

The boy had a broomstick, police officers carry, batons, tasers, pepper spray and probably some other non lethal weapons that I'm forgetting. The fact that they went for their guns first against someone who wasn't even a lethal threat is just piss poor policing and downright murder.

No, I'm really just pointing out that we've done this discussion to death something like 5 times in the last 6 months, with slight variations to the story, and everyone's opinion remaining the same.

If you want my opinion on this, feel free to look up the last "stupid kid gets shot by trigger happy cops" thread.

Each situation differs and in this one we have no idea what happened


In the last one where that kid had a gun in a parkl the officers were rightly and thankfully cleared

Each situation differs, and everyone climbs back on with their same old opinion and yaaaawwwnnnnn. You know exactly who each member is going to side with, and their reasons, before even opening the thread. Why would that be if every situations differs? The answer is that they don't, really. Slight differences in set up, zero difference in response.

You ARE 'Bang On Right' in what you state here T.S - BUT, you do realise that you have also just accurately summarised EVERY SINGLE S.D. THREAD DEBATE THERE HAS EVER BEEN?

That's true, but it can be fun the first couple of times, and even to revisit these old arguments after enough time has passed for another round. Like a favourite old porn clip. But these "LT wholeheartedly agrees with US cops use of force" threads have come up so often lately, and with so little variation on the theme, that it's just impossible to get excited about them . Not even a chubby.
