posted by SportsAndLadyExcept there are hundreds of examples of white people not complying with police and not getting killed
Sounds like you guys want “comply or die” policing. Except that doesn’t seem to apply with every interaction, and maybe that’s what people are upset about.
You are so fucking stupid its actually funny to read your posts now.
If comedy is what you are going for in your dumbass posts congratulations you are not bad at it at all.

Also, man, I know how guns work. I did grow up in Southern Ohio...come on. I used to go to the range with my step-father growing up.
I don't think I want a police officer just unloading a clip just because they felt unsafe.
Curious, I don't really hear stories of our military unloading clips into the enemy.
Difference in training. Military are typically against multiple enemy combatants at a time so unloading a whole magazine and having to reload before aiming at the next combatant is dumb. Police are typically in a one on one scenario.

Police kill twice as many whites than blacks.
Please be data driven and leave the emotions aside.
And just so we have all the data, what is the ratio of white to black people in the USA?

Reps.. but he’s going to reply that blacks commit 40% of murders and mention something about Chicago even tho blacks people don’t actually kill police
posted by QuakerOatsBreonna Taylor's criminal boyfriend fired 10 shots through the door at police before they entered; she also may have fired shots - TBD. How anyone can even remotely blame the police is asinine.
I don’t blame the police but I think no knock warrants are stupid. If I’m in my home and someone comes in my home unannounced by breaking down my door I’m firing shots as well.
posted by QuakerOatsThe math is fairly simple.
10,500,000 arrests per year. Let's say that 20 of them involve a police-involved shooting wherein a controversy arises. That equals 99.9997% success rate.
That’s not even counting interactions that doNot result in arrests

Not a fair comparison. You need to compare it to white arrests vs black arrests. As, right or wrong, statistically blacks commit a ton more criminal acts than whites per capita.
Trust me, I am not saying it’s a race thing, I understand it’s an economic thing as the numbers are similar white vs black crime rates when adjusted for income levels.

I agree, their reasoning behind no knock warrants are basically “it will alert them that we are here” and “they may run”
Well, be prepared for that and have the house surrounded.
Imagine rage quitting a site because it’s a far right cess pool full of MAGA cheerleaders (note: 2/3 of this site is NOT voting for Trump). Then imagine coming back to the same site 18 months later to constantly cry about the same thing, before ultimately rage quitting again for only 2 days and then coming back AGAIN to cry about the same thing. Finally imagine all the of this and consider the fact you’re a hypocritical piece of shit who used to do all the same shit you cried and rage quit over twice.
What a fucking loser.
posted by queencitybuckeyeSo all police interactions that don't involve a controversial shooting is a success? Damn, I wish my old bosses would have had such a low bar.
Yeah the ones where they sexually harass/assault people, beat them, plant evidence, fuck up paperwork, administer field sobriety tests incorrectly...those are all successful.

The funniest part is he contends he’s not a whiny liberal. Yet falls in line with all of those beliefs (lol weirdo gun people comment, alt right, outraged losers got killed in WI)
Why didn’t the tasers work? Was it a malfunction, or was it just not going to work on this guy for whatever reason? It sucks that perhaps the best way to non-lethally incapacitate a criminal doesn’t even fucking work.
Can someone tell me how the protests will get us to where nearly all of us want to get to? It seems like the "underpants gnome" episode of South Park:
1. Protest
2. ?
3. Equality

A good read on the success rate, or lack thereof, of tasers.

I dont know why but some people are not bothered by tasers. My friend used to let us shock him all the time when he was drunk and he never even flinched.

Ever do it when he wasn't drunk?

Was just poking a bit of fun at QO. The guy said to be data driven and decided his single point of data was enough to prove his point.
Apparently somebody is, or has, introduced a bill that seeks to strip rioters from unemployment benefits. So while the mayors/DAs wont prosecute (catch and release) the govt just has to look at each person arrested and determine if they are receiving any benefits and then cut them off if they are.
I'm not so sure that it's going to be much of a deterrent. The human sewage are well provided for even without unemployment checks. Between the Riot Kitchen feeding/watering them and various organizations paying their bail, it's not like they are putting out their own cash to destroy other's property anyway.
*Edit to add*
It was Jim Banks. I just saw somebody RTing this:
If the bill I introduced today passed into law, these people seen here (illegally blocking traffic) would become ineligible for federal coronavirus aid and have to pay for the policing cost of their spectacle. https://t.co/V3wFJe5jwZ

Another successful interaction! (I'm aware that this video has been shared here already. It came across my TL again, though.)
I thought all you had to do was comply and you wouldn’t be shot or brutalized by police. 🤔🤔 pic.twitter.com/b1lVsuRx5i
