> [@boffking](#): > > The police shouldn’t carry guns at all. Look at the UK or Iceland. Their officers don’t have guns, and very few of them are killed in the line of duty. I think we should try to be like them. Officers having the ability to kill just leads to more deaths on both sides of the law. Do you think the Icelandic and British police “Gamble with their own lives” by not having guns? Because I think it works better for them then the American system works for us. Works pretty good in GB where all handguns are prohibited or Iceland where all guns are strictly regulated and handguns are rare. Your suggestion that the police disarm themselves in an environment where practically everybody else can carry a hadgun might just be the stupidest thing you said on this board. And that’s a real accomplishment. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > And police never gun down kids then lie about the circumstances. > > And this time, there aren’t even any pesky cameras to lie about their actions, unlike the last time. You’re right. The important thing is that we should immediately come to the conclusion that they are lying and set out that day to find a 13 year old to gun down. Good work! ---

Can we quarantine the stupidity by letting **boffking** and **parovoz** have this thread to themselves? Like the Star Trek episode, they’ll [del]grapple[/del] sling inanities back and forth for eternity and leave the rest of us alone. 😛 The rest of us can have a proper thread somewhere else. ---

> [@Budget\_Player\_Cadet](#): > > I’d like to think that if I hunted down a kid, then he pulled a BB gun out of his waist and I immediately opened fire, I would be held to a different standard. If not, _wow_, what the fuck America. Its not reasonable to expect cops to give someone that pulls a gun on them the benefit of the doubt. What bothers me is that cops DO give the benefit of the doubt to armed white guys. Its not like those guys need to stay in the gene pool. ---

Well then I apologize for assuming that your comments showed a bias and if not an indication that you had already come to a conclusion. I also apologize for somebody else’s post above mine. I should never have let that happen. While I’m at it I’ll go ahead and apologize for anything that might be said by others after me that offends you.

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > Are you capable of posting anything other than racist crap? I was literally about to post that he probably had a couple pro-Trump posts in him and maybe something about how women are all bitches before he got banned. Then I checked his posting history: other than posting racist shit in this thread he’d posted in a Trump thread and called a woman a cunt. So predictable. ---

He’s black, so it’s probably him.” Officer Friendly: “Freeze punk, or I’ll blow your head off! He’s running! He must be the robber!” BLAM BLAM BLAM Officer Obie: “Why would a black kid run away when the cops roll up on him? I don’t get it.” Officer Friendly: "Well, he’s dead…crap. I just killed a random kid for no reason. " Officer Obie: “Don’t worry about it! I’ll testify he was reaching for his waistband. In fact, let’s plant a gun on him. And since it was a kid you killed, instead of a real gun we’ll plant this BB gun I keep around to make the story more plausible.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/13-year-old-tyre-king-murdered-by-police/766074.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/13-year-old-tyre-king-murdered-by-police/766074.md?page=4)
