Instead of recognizing killing 1000 people in one calendar year is quite alarming; and that 102 of those being unarmed is truly disturbing, the usual suspects think one good example balances the scale.

Truly vile

Its not what the thread is about, sorry you cannot even bring yourself to see one positive thing.

smh

The police doing their job well should not be news, but it is. That's something to SMH about.

..it's not really a debate though, is it...it's more you saying that being a police officer in the USA is a hard job..(which I agree with..)...so basically therefore it follows that every decision and every individual judgement by police officers when they draw their weapon and shoot to kill is the right one/that's the logic of it..and then sticking your fingers in your ears and saying la la la la to anyone who offers a debate to the contrary...and responses to people like Dezzy and Girth who have taken time and thought in posting and offering opinions which would make debate...are 'vile', 'disgusting', 'smh'.... so definitely not really anything that would ever make it a debate....whatever 'smh' is, it's probably more that than a debate...

it's not vile at all, i noticed you never said that those 1000 people were innocent? i'm sure 99% of them were not innocent at all, and being unarmed doesn't mean anything, people can be life-threatening without having a gun.

Excellent job at avoiding the issue and sticking your head in the sand. As I predicted you've glazed over my point to dole out your ignorant rhetoric.

It shouldn't be news that a Police Officer is acting appropriately and you are using this example to sweep all those Police Brutality incidents under the carpet. I wouldn't accuse other people of having an agenda when this entire thread is fuelled by your own agenda. You literally only posted this to try to score points against people who acknowledges that the US has an issue with Police Brutality. You are completely and utterly transparent.

If you actually READ my post you'd see that I said that it's not about hating the police, it's about holding the few that abuse their position responsible for their actions because it's them that are the issue, not the majority that are competent at their job. You're just gonna ignore that though like you ALWAYS do because you can't respond to it without admitting defeat on the issue. You'd rather speak in incorrect broad strokes that paint anyone who can see the reality of the situation as cop haters. You are willfully ignorant LT.

Keep burying your head in the sand, you've become quite good at it.

There are a minority of trigger happy cops in the US who have abused their power or been negligent of their duties.
I can kind of understand them being twitchy over there with gun crime what it is.They will obviously be thinking they may not get home to their families on every call out they get.It is unfortunatley how things have evolved and i can't see much changing while guns are so easily accessible to thugs and criminals.No matter how well trained a cop is.They need to be ready to react with lethal force at any given moment.Some of them don't have the nerve to hold back when they should.

If you're sure 99% are guilty then thats fine, but to give examples; 1000 is about two thirds of the number of US troops killed in Iraq since 2009 and 102 a year is more then 8 every month, two a week, again if you think that is acceptable then there is clearly nothing I can say to convince you otherwise. :thumbs:

Yes they need out support and not silly pop stars attacking them

Lesbians gravitate towards Prison Officers jobs in womens prisons.

Paedophiles gravitate towards working in Childrens Homes.

Psychopaths gravitate towards joining ISIS and other terrorist groups.

And psychologically damaged wrecks and insignificant weeds who were bullied at school or who hate the world and it's dog for other reasons gravitate towards ALL positions of authority and power, as do RACISTS - and those positions are usually within the Police Force, both here and in the USA.

Obviously, these vermin are in a minority, but just as obviously, with the USA being infinitely larger than the UK, that 'minority' is very sizeable.

The more sizeable the minority, the greater the incidents of these 'Rogue Cops' pursuing their own twisted agenda.

The fact that in the USA, cops carry guns, means that these 'greater incidents' usually involve someone being 'executed' by some of this 'sizeable minority' of 'rogue cops' as a result of that personal and covert 'twisted agenda', when other non-lethal options are available.

There are just too many cases of 'Execution By Rogue Cop' for the above to be disputed - in my opinion.

YES - the great majority of Cops both here and in The USA ARE honest, decent, law abiding people, and YES, they DO deserve our support.

But that does not alter the very real FACT that TOO MANY rogue cops are quite simply getting away with MURDER.

In my opinion, of course.
