Im just convinced Americans as a whole are comprised of a large amount of dangerous and stupid people. Dumb civilians, dumb cops...its too common to see stories like this about police, or stories about poorly behaving citizens. Not much to say anymore, as stupidity is too common.Special EDy said:Did you see the one where a van full of children gets shot at by Albuquerque Police?

The mom gets a speeding ticket, and is told she has to decide right there if she wants a trial or to pay the ticket. She refuses to decide and subsequently drives off. The officer pulls her over again, and decides to arrest her. Her teenage son gets out when the officer tries to arrest the mom. The Cop draws his weapon and demands they get on the ground. The family piles back into the van and locks the doors. More police arrive at this moment and they smash a window to get the van open. The mom takes off again and police open fire on the van.
The mom then runs from the police to a hospital where they take the family into custody.
The mom was clearly stupid, but the police were equally stupid for shooting at a van full of kids.
References? Numerous eyewitnesses have said the officer grabbed at Brown through the window. I already provided an article on that. There are many more for you to find. Height matters not. Anyone can crab and hold on to someone through a car window. If the witnesses are saying they saw this, who am I to say these didnt see that? I'll see what the jury thinks in court.Danger said:I totally agree with you on this instance Jaylan.
The important thing is for both "sides" to recognize it is not an all or nothing from either side. Both make stupid errors in judgement.
The real question is, what are both sides doing to address the issue of bettering themselves?
The police in the link you have showed very poor judgement and should be dealt with accordingly. However, the same applies to those who riot because of Ferguson and it certainly doesn't make sense to condemn the officer until we have all of the facts.
With that said, I am still curious as to how a 5' 8" officer in his car can grab a 6' 4" Brown by the neck and pull him to the window?
Do you have any references to help explain that?
Either you believe the eyewitnesses or you dont. Clearly you are choosing not to believe them. So just wait for the trial.
