So the police killed an innocent bystander

again.

I was hoping this thread would be about the giant sea worm found in an aquarium in Cornwall. Supposedly it was four feet long and was covered in spines which inject a neurotoxin which would leave a human with permanent nerve damage with just one poke.

Hockey players commit no crimes?

There's far more violence in 20s of a typical peewee hockey game than in that video.

That is Barry the giant sea worm who was an unexpected guest in the aquarium where he proceeded to kill everything else in the tank.

****ing worthless server. Double posts and error messages are the order of the day.

Do you know what a felony is? Get some basic understanding of terminology and come back. I'm starting to feel like I'm talking to one of those dumb girlfriends who act all surprised when you punch them really hard in the nose during sex.

He died within minutes of the push. Getting physically assaulted by men with dogs and batons causes a lot more stress than seeing hot gay British protesters making some noise the lack of hot men on their soccer team or whatever this was.

And for the last time, your analogies blow more than your Mazda 3. Hockey players are committing no crime. If the hockey players jumped into the stands and committed a felony by assaulting a fan, then they're on the hook for his death.

This is why you do not commit felonies, cop or not. In America, anyway.

Milbury has a shoe in hand and is looking at you.

*sigh*

The good old days of short glass.

Isn't there something strange in the way he's walking, right before getting pushed?

He's either intentionally getting in the police face, or he already has symptoms of a stroke, limiting his movement.

From the video, it looks like he intends to impede the police. How many people who see police in riot gear approaching meander slowly along looking for squirrels?

Still, I don't see why they dealt with him the way they did. A younger, stronger man should have been able to bundle him off to the side and out of the way.

i guess if someone sneaks into a old nursing home and scares old people with ski mask and a fake knife screaming 'Imma kill you ****ing *****' and they die of heart attack, it's not murder. but that person still would deserve a good kick in the face.

If they pushed him like that, I suppose its possible that they did it again and it may or may not have contributed to his death if they did it again....

I wish Asher would stop being intentionally retarded.

Felony murder means you're responsible for what happens while you're committing a felony. You commit a robbery and a cop accidentally shoots a hostage, it's on you. It's much broader and does not cover a situation like this. Here, the incident itself is at issue. It's a traditional crime that can either be MURDAR or MANSLAUGHTAR.

This is involuntary manslaughter at best because the prosecution cannot prove purposefulness--if the police wanted to kill victim, they wouldn't have left him alone to have a heart attack. Classifying the officer's actions as reckless when the cops had tac gear and attack dogs in the middle of a riot would not fly with any jury that has red blooded men penises on it.

Asher, you fail the test. Hard. Can you at least hook me up with free phonebooks? They need to be yellow

[Asher]

Wiggy, "felony murder" does not exist in the UK.

You fail.

[Wiglaf]

We were presupposing this happened in the US because no one cares about Britain, as established in numerous previous posts and in the Bible.

[SlowwHand]

Yep, the cop was an overly aggressive douchebag (as many cops are).

But the guy had a heart attack.

Get over it. It happens. Especially to people who are old and out of shape, as he appeared to be.

WHY do you always have to drag me into discussions???

[Asher]

I didn't mean to offend you.

I thought you'd be happy I was pro-police brutality for once.
