I don't know. What is the appropriate response be for an armed individual with an outstanding warrant who has one less bullet in his possession because he used it to kill a police dog? Were there still people in the walmart?

 

That one doesn't look like overkill to me. He's alive, he's shooting, move in.
Now..if he was unconscious, unarmed, and facing the other way, I would say, "Don't shoot him".

It was in lock-down for several hours. Good thing it was a Super store with lots of food.

That was one lucky dog, he was shot in the head but it missed anything vital.

The Salem Police canine that was injured in today's incident is Baco. Baco has been treated at an animal hospital and has been released to go home. Baco's handler is Officer Trevor Morrison.

 

Yes it was. I still think the officers responded with enough forces to suppress the threat. Until the threat was squelched, we don't know how many were needed. Afterwards, with the absolute clarity of hindsight, we can provide the best estimate of the force size needed to suppress the threat.

 

On the news just now: The most recent unarmed man who died in police custody (in Baltimore) was buried today. Police have not released any information about how he severed his spinal cord while wearing handcuffs. A Baltimore Police Spokesman said today's riots are completely unprovoked.

 

And there were riots in Baltimore with the rioters puncturing holes in the fire hose to prevent the firemen from extinguishing a fire.

 

Here's why things are happening in Baltimore - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/27/law-enforcement-bill-of-rights_n_7153106.html Instead of like the Walter Scott killing in Charlotte.

This was not a protest for wrongs, this was a riot that a good mother knows it's time for her children to get home from.

I disagree with that part of your statement. If you think riots happen for no reason at all on the day another unarmed dead man is buried, you are as blind as the police.

I've been in protest for wrongs in the 1960's, we didn't throw rocks at the police, loot, steal and burn down property. Those that did were criminals in a riot, period. People like the mom in the video know the difference

and others have to cleanup the mess.

 

Ya' got to love that MOM.

Some media has state it was started via social media calling it "purge" like the movie of a few years back where once a year, lawlessness rules.

I'm thinking that MOM had a better idea.

 

Too many people in this once, great, Country.......are now too busy to protest, like the olden days.
Look at how many Americans, bad-mouth other protesters, today.
Americans had their big chance to instill change, but they were too damn lazy to participate in OWS.
Time for Americans to prioratize their priorities.

Yeah, I just made up that word!

 

... they were too damn lazy to participate in OWS.

Ironic, considering that OWS was basically a celebration of laziness.

Logical fallacy: If civil unrest happens in an unlawful way, it can't possibly have any connection to the stated reason for protesting. Therefore, if one overzealous person on either side breaks a law, there is no cause for the protest, no perceived injustice, and nothing needs to be changed. Outrage raised to violent levels was not caused by anything.

 

occupy wall street ... what was their message?

Wasn't it part of the anti-consumerism socio-political actions by Adbuster in Canada?

It's funny how politics is embedded, in all social endeavors.

That's complete psychobabble. Violence is effective where Violence is warranted both by the police and people feeling injustice from the police. It was not in the case of this riot so people who were protesting the police are now protesting the riot.

Yep! Now can we get about 40 million more parents trained by her?

Ok. I see it now. This was just a normal, "Riot Day" and people die in custody so often that the two must eventually coincide. Unfortunate.

ps, I agree that post #134 was a load of BS. That's why I labeled it, "Logical Fallacy".

 

Unless you grew up in 'the hood' you can't judge the protesters. Until junior year of high school I did. Cops would stop my dark skinned friends and tell me to keep walking, though we weren't doing anything wrong. If all this police violence is not racial, how do you explain this? (spoiler alert, white suspect) Think it would have been different if he wasn't?

Don't worry, they shoot white people too, just not as automatically (Thank Dog!)
