So yeah, for those of you who didn't follow the riots following this video...

A cop shot an unarmed man in Oakland after confusing his gun for a Tazer. It goes with out saying that the footage is disturbing.

How do you post videos directly again? It's been a while.

Now I find it difficult to believe the "accident" argument here. How much bigger is a gun than a Taser? Was the holster on the same side of his body, let alone on his body at all? What kind of planning would that be? Aren't most Taser holsters different than gun holsters anyway?

Shooting your son in the face at night because you heard a noise and thought it was a burglar is not murder, but this is entirely different. At the very least it's criminal negligence, second degree homicide if he didn't have a taser at the time.

At the very least this obsessive cop use of tasers will invariably crawl. Good, fuck the po-lice. They want to use a device that causes as much physical pain as possible without losing the lawsuits they invariably get, let them reap what they sow.

I was in a Law Enforcement class, and those pig-fuckers couldn't stop talking about how great their precious little shockies were. "It's great, you can take someone out without any problem!" No, not great! Let me submit that it's not great for any one human being to have that control over another, no matter how "honorable" their heart is.

Let me put it this way: At least with Mace, the cop gets hit too. Did you know that? Mace gets everywhere. Not only that, the cop gets hit again the next time he takes a shower. Now that cop will come across a time where he wants to use Mace, but won't. Restraint, analysis, and proper use. Call it foolish, but I feel every time a cop uses a taser he should be given a small electric shock himself.

Let m? What happened there?

I saw that video....I also saw one of Soccer hooligans....a cop went to pistol whip the guy and the gun went off and shot him in the head....that one was an accident. The cop's reaction was really funny.

The Oakland one.....didn't look like an accident. The cops arms were extended to shoot him so the cop could clearly recognize which weapon he had (I can't watch the video at work, but from what I remember) and the guy was on his stomach complying.

Did the guy die? NOthingToxic says everyone dies even if they didn't actually die.....and the intro said he died... but all the footage ended before any clear conclusion could be made.

Its all evolution - American Style...

The guy died.

Fuck the cop anyway, again worth saying. The suspect's on the ground, surrounded by cops and complying, and you go to pull out a Taser? Do the words, "excessive force" mean anything to you, pig-fuck?

The soccer hooligan one was not in Americas....Somewhere in south America.

It's called devolution.

Haha, I love that video.
Obviously referring to the Mini Advert as opposed to the poor bastard biting the bullet.
Reminds me of the DeMenzez shooting we had here in the UK

You do know you're driving on the wrong side of the road don't you?
Right! Good show...

I actually got stopped for doing that once, but technically I was on the right side of the road because I was reversing. I just stopped when I noticed the police car so to them it probably "looked" like I intended to drive forwards thus making it the wrong side of the road... presumtuous pricks

The Jean Charles de Menzes case has a link below. Doubt you'll have had much coverage of it stateside, basically a innocent Brazillian was shot dead on the London Tube Train because Police thought he looked a bit like a terrorist called Hussain Osman. Not really though. My conclusion is that his poor grasp of the English language meant that he didn't understand what SWAT were saying as they shouted at him whilst aiming their semi-automatic rifles at his face, so he ran, and they shot him dead on a train.

I admit that after the recent scares with Train Bombs the Police would be thinking well if that is him he could detonate a bomb (he was wearing a backpack but turns out it had some books n his sandwiches in there)

I just hate living under a shoot now ask later Millitia-Style Government

BBC Coverage Of J.C.dM

Fuck fear of any kind. It's just another way to sell your rights for a promise of safety that doesn't exist anyway.

99.9% of the time the info is there without having to tap phones or shoot foreigners. 9/11 is a good example (shut up, conspirators!). The instance where the only solution is waterboarding is a statistical improbability greater than winning the lotto and getting struck by lighting at the same time.

One of two possibilities with terrorist threats: either the info is there following the books, or nothing could be done to stop it no matter how many human rights were violated in pursuit.

What the fucking fuck fuck?

First - struck by lighting? Like women in those film noir movies of the 40's? Or are we talking about an accident in a lamp shop?

And if I'm deciphering you right, what about Death and his waterboard fetish? Somedays, when he's jacking off and jacking off, and turning his bell-end blue with his frustrated tugging, waterboarding IS the only solution.

Does that mean I'm going to win the Lotto and get struck by lightening? Because that's my ultimate all-time fetish right there. I'll be keeping my hands down my pants as the balls roll - just in case.

There are situations where I think you are stupid.

In this situation I know. You are stupid. Most people have delustions of grandeur, but I can't imagine anything higher than delusions of acceptance for you. Doesn't matter, since you failed in either respect.

You are right. Nothing could be higher than delusions of me.

I am the fucking pinnacle, alright.

Ass weevil.

Are you an idiot, or just being ironic? Oh wait, you probably don't know what "ironic" means. Here's another definition you apparently don't know...



So yeah, what you're saying is there's nothing higher than the false image you have of yourself. So... we're in agreement, then?

It was the notion of "higher than the delusions of acceptance for you" I was taking issue with - not the word delusion. The word "higher" in this context in particular. You used it, and i don't need some dickhead dictionary copy-out activity to let you know what higher means.

I know words. I use them with a certain pannache from time to time. (That is neither a form of Mexican cheap aftershave, nor a Morrocan dessert, you illiterate ape.)

The irony, I am metaphorically afraid, is sitting like a rather large, ugly hat upon your feeble head at present, whilst you swan around the streets proclaiming yourself King of Fashion.

Again.

Oh, well then you're even more of an idiot. I said...


That's proper context as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps "more than" might have sounded better, but the sentence is proper English.

Don't tell someone who spends all day using language when it sounds wrong, it just serves to piss me off and you're probably wrong anyway.

You're use of "probably" betrays a lack of confidence.

And, little one, just using words in pockets of sense and cramming them into a "Sunnypoo sentence" does not make it make sense. I pity the fools who have to assess your work if these postings are typical of your discourse.

Let me re-phrase the argument: Who gives a shit?

I find when people on message boards (like you) feel they need to criticize grammar, it's because they have nothing of merit to say themselves. Question the logic if you want, but leave the grammer-checking up to Grolier's from now on, kay?

And if you want to get technical (which apparently you do) "ass-weevil" is not a real word. You still want to over-analyze everything said?

Hmm...

And you wouldn't want an ass-weevil swimming up your shit-pipe, believe me.

I'm sure if one existed it could find better shit-pipe's to swim up then mine. Yours would probably be much looser, and allow a more cozy space to have it's litter of weevil-pups.

You see? Now you have entered into the spirit of the ass weevil.

Don't you feel better for it?

No. The imagery of living things crawling up shit-pipes does nothing for me. You?

All imagery is a challenge to the mind.

I embrace it all, not being tied to reality and the tedium of the mundane everyday.

You?

I try to give imagery the benefit of the doubt, but even that has limits. Not relating to my existence is one thing, but when I know the existence it relates to is a shitty one I tend to respond more harshly.

Yay, English!

C+

Yay, I passed!

I like you when you are like this. You actually made me laugh.
