being shot for "mistakes"


Posted: Jul 31, 2015

posts below about how unfair it is that cops shoot indivuduals who "make mistakes" like driving off when asked to stop and running when asked to halt.  Why are none of these people held accountable for their actions?  Most have had multiple interactions with police due to their life style choices of stealing, drug related activities, etc.  Why this great sympathy? It is your low expectations of the law breakers?  They needed crack and made the "mistake" of B&E?  Do you want the cops to just let lawbreakers run/drive away when they chose to?  Think it through.

One shot to the head? shot 6 times? thrown to the - ground, knee in back?

do you want more people executed in the street by cops without judge or jury? That is not the American Justice system.

without judge or jury - cherylsue

might actually be the trend of the American justice system.

Oh my! I did not read below, but your post is alarming. - sm

When a person tries to walk away, drive away, run away, they of course should be apprehended, but NOT KILLED!

By your logic, let's say your 17-yo son was at a party where there was under-aged drinking going on, or he was in a car with friends and there was alcohol in the car. The police come. Your son was/was not involved in the actual drinking, but he gets scared and runs. The cop shoots him in the back while running, or in the head before he gets the chance to run. Oh well, he was breaking the law or did not obey a command - he deserved to die?

There is too much "I feared for my life" going on. Too many videos of police brutality or actual murdering of suspects.

Yes, there should be sympathy for these law breakers. Everyone deserves a second chance. They should not be judged and sentenced to death before they even reach a courtroom.

Yes, the video of the man in Cincinnati - anyway you look at it

He was shot in the head before the cop was "in danger." He made the slightest move to not obey and was shot. He was not armed. He did not have a reason to have stopped him (he hadn't been in an active pursuit or suspect for violence).

I think a lot of these outrageous statements of "if they had just obeyed the command" are a desperate attempt at denial. They want to ensure that this couldn't happen to them, because they would always do the right thing. They just know they are better than that...that person must have done something wrong to have caused this to happen (other than just being black for instance). Honestly, I don't think race had much to do with shooting DuBose. It might have had something to do with stopping him. More of that will come out later, I am sure.

"Held accountable for their actions." That is up to a judge, not a cop - NM

hello people there is a - middle ground

[ In Reply To ..]
I do not want citizens slaughtered by the police (I know, a kind heart) but I am tired of the portrayal of these victims as innocent little lambs. Remember Michael Brown who shoved the Stop and Go manager and then threatened the officer was first portrayed as darling boy dreaming of his first college day? This last guy had a bottle of vodka in his lap and 5 random children scattered throughout the greater Cincy area. Focus on the over-reaction of the individual officers rather than painting these people as innocent little victims.

NO middle ground at all! - sm

Because he had a bottle of vodka with him, and five children in the city, does not mean he should be shot!

Probably EVERY person confronted by the police is a criminal of some kind and is guilty of something. That is a given. No one is saying that whatever they have done is right. What they are saying is, criminal or not, these people do not deserve to be shot down like worthless animals. They should be brought before a judge in a court of law to be dealt with - NO middle ground. These are human beings.

It's not PC to hold them accountable, you know that. - MMls

You want the power of accountability taken from the courts and legal system and given to who? Thugs, lynch mobs, shadow govt, police, citizen informants, you?

We also have the problem of the economy some say is on the verge of collapse. Very tough times ahead.

A Series Of Strategic Mistakes Likely Sealed Clinton’s FateNov 13, 2016
Just days before the election, after weeks believing that Michigan was safely blue, the pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC Priorities USA polled voters there — only to discover that it was a one-point race. The group quickly poured millions into the state. The Clinton campaign did similarly, and on the eve of the election, aides sent in Clinton herself, as well as her top surrogate, President Obama. It was too late. More at link, including a graphic that is easy to understand. ...

10 Reasons Not To Get The Flu ShotOct 27, 2010
The verdict is out on flu shots. Many medical experts now agree it is more important to protect yourself and your family from the flu vaccine than the flu itself. Let’s take a look at the reasons behind this verdict: 1.) There is a total lack of real evidence that young children even benefit from flu shots.  A systematic review of 51 studies involving 260,000 children age 6 to 23 months found no evidence that the flu vaccine is any more effective than a placebo. Also the shots are on ...

I also agree it is horrific that a 16-year-old lost his life under any circumstances.  Unfortunately, if you read the article, the incident was not iniated because of rock throwing, but rather because a truck load of narcotics was abandoned by two individuals and the individuals were running back to Mexico.&n ...
