So, my hometown is scene to a protest against the highest rate of police shootings in the US and the sparking incident was this shooting of a homeless man (warning graphic) which the Police Chief claimed was justified. Anonymous just hacked the APD website.

A second day of protest just kicked off and included this guy bringing what looks like an AK platform rifle to the protest.

So AH - 2nd Amendment rights as a means of protest? What could possibly go wrong? It just got dark here so we will see what happens, APD have threatened the crowd with tear gas and are in full riot gear......

You cnuts execute autistics. You tazer 80 year-olds, you mace and club peacefull demonstrators who are exercising their right of free assembly....that's in the constitution..you don't defend a little hippy girl getting her face rammed into the concrete by a cop with a gun and a at and size 12 boots. BUT....you'll stockpile a load of cartridges in your house and claim to be a freedom warrior...or some sh1t.

I can understand why they shot that poor homeless man dead before they handcuffed him, they were just sh1t scared that he might brush off one of them and infect them with his poverty.

Filthy no good chicken **** bastards is all the American police/armed forces are!

if they shot him dead...why did they handcuff him afterwards...?

Just to show they cared, these macho, (often pumped up on steroids) "officers" are afraid of their own shadows and will kill you in a heartbeat if they perceive any threat, handcuffing is just to show that they do it "by the book/code"

I'm guessing a bit, but I bet Mads has never executed a autistic person or tazard an oap.

Don't remember tazers, mace and clubs in the constitution? Oh wait...

Yes, "we" do. But Canadians club baby seals to death.

It is not. Totally the point.

That's it, shoot him 5 or 6 times with real bullets and if that doesn't work fire a few bean bags into him to finish him off.

In a town that isn't that removed from the Old West, I'm not surprised to see citizens wishing the removal of its peace officers from office, after all Billy the Kid started out as a "Regulator" and sworn deputy...;)

There will always be the odd exception, but see what civilisation does. Ye'll get there.

Yes, because societies with stringent gun control and unarmed cops have no violent crime or shootings :rolleyes:

they do have significantly less violent crime and murders than the US

but then so does most of the developed world, along with our smaller prison populations and not executing large amounts of people.

whether all that has anything to do with gun ownership is another matter

But it is nice when you know who the bad guy is BECAUSE he has a gun.

Problem is when the neighbour, friend, ex-wife, grumpy guy down the road, priest, plumber, postman, stalker, schizophrenic, bipolar cyclist, landlord, lawyer,... <snip>

Have a gander. These are up to date figures. Remove the under 14s and the over 55s and the percentage should jump to almost 2%. A terrible indictment for a modern, progressive democracy. The idea of bail? Yes ....... $25K, $50K, $100K for pretty run-of-the-mill stuff. Prisons privatised ......... they really don't want to turn first timers around. Recedivists are what they want. Keep 'em coming in. More moolah!
A lot of the cops are ex-servicemen. Not exactly the brightest ...... trigger happy ......... and macho. Yes, macho is the name of the game. Pumped up on steroids? Only a rumour!

As a person who has lived and worked in the US for many years before returning home for family reasons it's sad to see what is in progress over there now. The nation is deeply divided down the middle with the have's and have not's with the have's being protected by a increasingly paranoid police force.

Just watched that video holy jesus what the hell is wrong with these people.

tallus · 01-04-2014 08:40AM

Why the hell does it take six heavily armed cops to get a homeless man to move on.
Unbelievable. What a bunch of ****ing nazis. No wonder he wouldn't drop the knife.

Is 39 a lot from a population of 320 million? I don't know. I guess that is a 'large' amount...

I'd still like to enjoy my constitutional right to annoy without suffering terminal consequences.

Not none, but significantly less.

Mexico's problems have a lot to do with being neighbours to America, if it wasn't for America's drug laws Mexican criminals wouldn't be able to fund their gangs. I didn't notice a whole lot of crime in Latvia and Lithuania when I was there. I certainly didn't see police cars zipping around in convoy like I did in new york and Las Vegas, they always seemed to be on the way to some incident.

But it's telling you have to go to countries with poverty issues or that's a borderline warzone to find comparisons to the US.

WilyCoyote · 01-04-2014 03:20PM

The Indo takes up the story. These cowardly cops should be horse-whipped in public before being charged with murder. And their parents/families/neighbours should be ashamed of them:http://www.independent.ie/world-news/slaying-of-homeless-man-sparks-outrage-for-overmilitarised-police-department-30144614.html
