Hands Up, Don't Shoot

[N35t0r]

In my neck of the woods when a cop says to do something people do it because they don't want trouble. Anyone who doesn't do what a cop says right away is probably a serious criminal. That's probably why cops don't ask nicely. They want to see how you respond. What you aren't taking into account is that police have a job to apprehend people exactly like Brown.

Guilty until proven innocent (or goaded into doing something that breaks the law)

Freedom rah rah rah!

If you're walking in the street and I tell you to move onto the sidewalk I didn't goad you into breaking the law. Wtf is wrong with you damn eurocoms?

[N35t0r]

Probably that I don't live in Europe. But I wouldn't expect you to understand any argument above 3rd grade level.

Are you talking about Officer Wilson?

That wasn't even 1st grade level. Nya Nya Nya.

I'm talking about what Kid is conveying through his posts that he approves.

Got that.

It must be nice living in Nazi Germany.

Not many of those left. Try those living in Iran or Syria.

If a cop tells me to get out of the middle of the road, i get out of the middle of the road. But when I was young (growing up in the vanilla villages) cops treated us with respect and actually protected us so we learned to respect them.
That's not the case in other places. If they don't treat ALL people with respect, they're not going to get it back.

There's a difference between calling a cop a pig and trying to get the man's gun, yes?

[rah]

Yes, but if you have respect for them neither would happen, Yes?

[DinoDoc]

Yes, but if you have respect for them neither would happen, Yes?

If you had just committed a violent crime just before meeting the cop as Brown did, would respect for law enforcement be a concern for you?

[rah]

Yes, it wouldn't be a concern, but I postulate that if you had said respect you might not have just committed a violent crime.

When you approach somebody on the street, if you're still in your vehicle, you're supposed to not roll your window all the way down so whoever it is you're speaking to can punch inside the vehicle as Wilson purports... yet this is supposedly what happened, right?

And I see, Kid, that you're going ahead and profiling Brown yourself if police are to apprehend people exactly like Brown...

So... it's not human nature to get all defensive and confront your verbal attacker? Police aren't supposed to start on the attack, they're supposed to start on the information gathering and then on the defensive. As the justice department themselves have indicated, this was not a department that was professional to residents... meaning Wilson was likely already in the wrong when he approached Brown.

You can't make an argument above 3rd grade level. I understand your immature euroconin crap just fine and it's ridiculous.

You used to walk in the middle of the road, purposely blocking traffic? Did you also attack police officers? The stories of your youth are interesting.
