The post you cited doesn’t say what you said people said:
People (like you) who lie in the pursuit of supporting police actions that have helped cause the problems we have.
The officer was arrested and charged with a felony. I’d say the SFPD was doing it right.
Why the scoffing? Liberals just love to ignore history. I bet you didn’t know Lyudmila Pavlichenko had 309 confirmed kills with a rolling pin. They don’t teach that in school anymore.
Only people who knew where to find potatoes. Latvia sad.
Yes, it did.
Although Bob said calling for “backup” and not “a supervisor”, there was a post, probably in the Garner thread, that said that an officer should contact a supervisor before making any arrest.
Even you can see that’s just not feasible.
No, it didn’t. In fact, in your next sentence you admit it did not say what you were challenged on:
If there was a post that backs up your assertion, cite it. Otherwise we’ll just assume that you are making shit up.
Right here.

So far, we’ve had a poster calling for law enforcement to run away and hide in their police car when encountering a violent offender, and another poster calling for the police to contact a supervisor before effecting a lawful traffic stop.
No, we don’t have posters calling for those things. We have posters offering options and leaving them open to rebuttal.
You, meanwhile, come in here and bluster and mischaracterize what others say, making yourself look like a fool and thereby discouraging anyone from taking what you say seriously.
You’re a fool with a fool’s agenda, it seems.
But let’s see how deep that goes: are you saying that an officer should place himself or herself in harm’s way when encountering a violent person?
Just saw the reference to this on the The Daily Show, searched for this in Tamir Rice shooting in Cleveland.
I can’t even believe it.
Neither Officer attempted first aid.
The officer who shot Rice was judged unfit for duty by a suburban police department in 2012
Cleveland Police never checked with Independence PD. If they had, they would have learned this:
Bolding mine. Because it scares me.
Here’s what scares me.
Not only is it unlikely this guy will be charged with a crime (given what we know about GJs and the police), but this colossal fuck up is probably going to hold on to his badge, gun, and nice lil pension too.
Merry fucking Christmas, Cleveland!
It’s absolutely maddening that people can direct all their rage and sanctimony on the crazed shooter who took out those two NYPD cops, and yet be completely nonchalant about this blatant injustice.
This guy belongs nowhere NEAR firearms. Of course, we’ll hear nothing but silence from Smapti, et al.
That’s not how policing works in the real world. They’re not in a position to seek opinions and consider rebuttals (from people on message boards, no less).
Holy fuck you’re stupid.
You’re the one who deliberately mischaracterizes Supreme Court rulings in Great Debates.
Why such blatant lying is allowed in a forum called Great Debates, I’ll never know.

I doubt if I’ve ever expressed an opinion in GD that no one would call a lie. Such an opinion would have to be innocuous and devoid of consequence.
You don’t read OR argue well. It’s almost painful to watch you be this dumb.
I’ve often wondered how US police get themselves in such confrontational situations, and have always assumed it was poor training or application.
This thread has caused me to reconsider; it really does seem - for whatever reasons - US police sometimes invite confrontation, perhaps even seek it.
That might be to do with poor initial screening of personality types, maybe the stress of the job, probably more likely the macho culture of the workplace … it’s pretty crazy to have got to this point, espeically when guns are so often used and forgiven.
It’s gotten to this point because guns are so often used and forgiven.
If cops feared losing their jobs and going to jail as much as they feared looking like weaklings who are too nice to harass and bully people, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
