A police officers job is hard and very dangerous at times. They must make split second decisions at times. Hopefully for the policemen and the deceased this case is handled in a honest and professiona

It may have been legal depending on what happened but I doubt (and have a hard time believing) that it was necessary.

Maybe it is just poor reporting or the chief didn't explain it. The article seems to say that the car was not going in reverse, it was driving forward. That tells me almost nothing but what gear the c

Thanks bullets for being one of the only conservatives on this board that puts right and wrong above black and white or democrat and republican. If everyone on this board did the same it would be great. Thats why i don't have 18,000 post. will not waste to much time here, but like to see the craziness every now and then.

When you look at the cases that are thrown around, very few of the people who are shot are innocent.  A better question is why does the media strive so hard to turn justifiable shootings of young black men by white cops into race baiting news stories?  The amount of heinously bad killings by cops is extremely low. We're talking about maybe 1 or 2 a year where you can honestly look at it and say "that was murder", and there's no reasonable defense to the officer's actions (the Walter Scott shooting, for example).  When you consider the hundreds of millions of police interactions a year with the public (many of which are with violent criminals), that number is very good.  We all make mistakes at our job, but most of our jobs aren't life and death.  a bad decision by a police officer could mean someone is killed, and police have to make these decisions knowing that the person who might be killed if they make a mistake is themselves.  When you consider that, it's amazing that they show the restraint that they do.   As for the "white officers shooting innocent black people", while I disagree with the media as to just how "innocent" most of the "victims" are in these shootings, it's mostly a numbers game.  Approximately 73% of law enforcement officers in the US are white.  Around 12% are black.  Add to that the fact that black males commit a disproportionate amount of the violent crimes in the US (8% of the population committing well over 40% of violent crimes), and the odds of a white officer responding to a call involving a black perpetrator or complainant is extremely high, and happens thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of times daily across the country. It's really no surprise that a good chunk of police shootings involve white officers and black criminals, and when they don't, the news has little to no incentive to report about it.

Always did think your post were pretty fair. never really calling out race in a negative way, and you will call out your own party at times.

Zimmerman was/is Mexican. You keep arguing with white people.

Hispanic=ethnicity, not race. Your post doesnt make sense. Is Zimmerman a Mexican? I thought his mother was from Peru. P.S hispanic means a person is from Spanish orgin, he doesnt have to be from Mexico.

Looks to me like you brought it up first dog. Thinking someone else on this board might be on welfare or something

Well, when I'm told I have a privileged white life, what do you expect me to answer? Leave it to someone such as yourself to bring up welfare.

Why do we never hear of black cops shooting innocent people? What if a black cop shot a innocent white kid in a car?

hUH? Two Black cops were indicted for shooting and killing a white guy in Louisiana. In fact, one of the Black cops was sentenced a few weeks ago.

ZIMMERMAN is a white Mexican, DUHHH!!!

A mix of white and black=black. Duh. Look at Zimmerman. He doesn't look white at all. If he was an illegal alien, this wouldn't have made the 6:00 news. You want him to be white so bad that it makes you overlook everything else.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      Phelan and Karl Rove!

      By Englebert · Posted

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.
