The conversation being had is the US police shooting of Patrick Lyoya. “Get a grip?” And you accused me of animosity?

"Lyoya does not appear to have any former convictions or criminal history."

some people think every thing i about them selfs isnt that right kid ?

as i ve said here and during your your little rant in pm your hatred of police is palpable and very obvious in your posting history , trying to attack every one who points that out isnt getting you anywhere apart from showing yuo up as very childish .

no surprising

if you cant discuss the topic of the thread then you shouldn't be here at all , instead of misrepresenting something that is clearly on film in front of every one , but we have seen that from you before too

hands up dont lie :-)

i wonder why the cop said multiple times let go of the tazer if lyoya had no weapon , if he had the tazer what was next the pistol , seems likely doesn't it , to a reasonable person that is .....

Let's see any example, if you insist on making it the topic of this thread, especially given:

if you cant discuss the topic of the thread then you shouldn't be here at all

Do you not adhere to that?

misrepresenting something that is clearly on film in front of every one

When did this misrepresentation occur

Correct, that was the officers tazer. Lyoya did not possess a weapon of his own. The user I was talking to remarked the officer must have assumed he had a gun, as we can see from the video though, Lyoya presented no concealed weapons of any kind. In fact, Lyoya didn't even appear to hit the officer, with many opportunities to do so.

Czechia is the other exception. That the Czechs have nowhere near the same levels of firearms violence as the US, despite being what in the US is considered a "shall-issue" jurisdiction (If you jump through the hoops, you cannot be denied a permit to carry, there are a quarter-million permits on issue), is evidence of the attitudes that people in the US have towards the respect of life in the first place. It's not that they're more likely to have a gun, it's that they're more likely to unlawfully use it.

Did you ever hear the story about a few Russians who decided to try rob Dave's Western gunshop in Prague,

Dave is really Davina who's a multiple cowboy action shooter champion as well as practical pistols and rifle titles to her name

No, I can't say I have.

Can I assume it didn't go well for the Russians? I was able to find the shop online, but no immediate hits on the story.
