Police shoot and kill another person

"Not only is it time; it's actually been announced.
Your argument that police are abusing power leaves me a little confused. The policeman was acting totally lawfully, and responsibly, and IMO did everything by the book. Are you suggesting that the law is at fault, or that the policeman's personal actions were somehow contrary to his legal instructions?
I feel you may have some valid points here, but TBH its hard to read through the opinion and invective to find them here."

acting lawfully perhaps; repsonsibly? Nope! Plus; acting responsibly and humanely can and are completely different ideas. Just because it's legal for cops to kill doesn't mean they should and it doesn't mean we should not seek better ways to solve problems than resorting immediately to slaughter.

I'm sure if one of your loved ones had gone off the rails and been shot by the cops you'd be telling us a different story. But you probably think it could never happen: sheer ignorance.
In the end, another human being was executed for the crime of property damage. That disgusts and angers me. Life is more important than the law and more important than the will of the cops.

"Crikey, you've got a bee in your bonnet today! It's hard to keep up with all the things about this country that piss you off.

Could you please give an example of a country you believe DOES have it right?" More fatuous and fallacious debate? YAWN!
Why does there have to already exist a perfect model before we strive towrad perfection ourselves? That's ignorant and ridiculous.
However, I CAN point to models for society but you'd probably whine because most as modern socialist states in Northern europe and not what seems to be your pet rock: Fascist Amerika.

As for the text colour: like i give a shit, it's there, i'll use it if and when i wish and self assigned cops like you be damned.

After skimming the last your last few posts I reiterate my previous comment to you.

Have a nice day!

If putting a bullet into some hopped up scumbag who wants to stove your head in with a hammer isn't acting responsibly, then good luck to the police force. All the people having a bitch cause the poor policeman didn't want to get the bash and thus capped another waste of space will get their time soon enough.... eventually a nice large percentage of the police will chuck the job, and then the streets will be even more of a free for all than it is now.

This copper deserves a medal, but I'm picking that he's probably just thankful to have survived another day dealing with the shit that you'd scrape off your shoe.

Pfft, my child, mother, father, brother, son, daughter... they'd all be pieces of shit that serve no purpose in society and we'd be better off without them... if they were running around with hammers like that. Good riddance I say.

If it were my mother, then my father would need a slap upside the head as well for not keeping her in line in the first place.

What, I should be all supportive of people who do shit like that, just because they're a blood relation???! WTF? That's all the more reason to pour scorn on them... if they want to drag the family name through the mud by becoming criminals, then scorn is what they shall have!

/edit: Just for clarification, the guy that got shot, no relation

Once again I repeat my first comment.

Oh, and I'd waste anybody in the blink of an eye who I considered was a serious threat to other or myself.

**idleidolidyll** · 2nd October 2007, 11:40

sure you would; cops aren't hired for their brains or humanity

nowdays they're hired for their anti social bent

I think you'll find the topic is about a man who was going to take on an armed cop with a hammer, presumably with a view to killing him by smashing his head open.... keep up will ya

Monte Carlo. Okay, not really a country but it's a great place to live. Crime is basically unheard of.

Hey, weren't you in the military? You got paid to kill people.
