Controversial encounters between law-enforcement and civilians - the omnibus thread

We’re not talking about girl scouts with cookies, we’re talking about men pointing guns at cops. That you think a man pointing a gun at someone is about as dangerous as a girl scout offering cookies is odd, to put it mildly. Unless you are, as usual, lying in an attempt to back up your indefensible point of view.

No I was watching them on Pornhub

You are correct. In fact, the four year old girl is not even old enough to be a Brownie.

Are you referring to a baseball game, or an attempted armed robbery?

Liar. Quote the first time he said that.

No number of people killed by police in justifiable self-defense would indicate that anything whatsoever was wrong with law enforcement.

The fact that US police kill ~200 times as many people per gun murder (corrected both by population and by crime rate differences) as police in the UK do is a good indication that not all those killed by police in the US are actually justifiable. It’s not reasonable that, when corrected by difference in murder rates and population, US police officers are ~200 times more likely to face imminent danger than UK police officers.

Type of defense, not direct quote, and I was responding directly to Steophan and not you, dum-dums for brains. Is he your sock or something?

“I thought he had a gun” does not create “justifiable self-defense”.

You’re right. I’d say the actual difference in risk in this country is much higher than 200 times.

Actually, that’s pretty much the definition of justifiable self-defense.

If you wanted a one-on-one conversation, you could PM him instead of posting in a public thread.

And “dum-dum for brains”? Really? Is it so difficult for you to defend the strawmen you’ve built up that playground taunting is easier? I guess I should count myself lucky you didn’t go with “doodoohead” or “fartface”.

The actual difference, uncorrected, is about 14,000 times. When corrected for population and differences in crime rates, it’s about 200 times.

Since you’re incapable of thinking rationally on this topic (and many others), I’ll take what you’d ‘say the actual difference is’ with a grain of salt.

I fucking quoted him in the same post I responded to him-how much more obvious could it possibly be that I was directly addressing him, and not every other person in the thread, let alone you, you idiotic asswipe? I think you’ve just redefined “dense”. :smack:

Not enough bloodshed for you?

Pants-wetting fear sponges.

So does that mean you’re not going to tell us when he made any statement of the kind you’re associating with him?

First things first: Does this mean you admit I wasn’t talking to you in the first place?

So they are magic words to get out of jail free.

No. Have you not been reading this thread?
