25 officers injured in Memphis after marshals kill fugitive

[Has lost its way]

>everyone wants to be knocked out

No...? Especially not the hacking and coughing and burning eyes of tear gas, the serious bruises from bean-bags and rubber bullets, the serious pain of tasers, broken teeth or bones from batons, being knocked on your ass and freezing from water cannons, or being riddled with god-damn splinters.

You're right, people LESS want to be dead, but none of those things are good either.

Depends on how you look at it. If I want a violent criminal to surrender what do you think has more stopping power. The idea I might bean bag him or the thought I might unload a pistol into his chest?

Everyone wants to be knocked out no one wants to be dead. Its why its called a deterrent and one of the few things rick and morty got spot on.

What Typical crap? The news seems to be reporting stuff about the guy?

which is irrelevant to the actual shooting

Their occupation? Who cares
Shit they post of facebook? The fuck does that matter

None of that had any impact whatsoever on why guns were discharged

[Cruor]

It doesn't matter what YOU want. If society wants UBI, we will get it. Ya know, we're a democracy. If you want a different form of government, perhaps you should move to Africa.

I know you want it, live off others, wouldn't have to leave the house except to buy more bread, peanut butter and jelly and ramen. On perhaps UBI would be high enough you could have ot delivered?

and what will you do if it is? also my mom doesn't pay me nothing but good job making yourself look foolish.
you also didn't address the point. so i restated it again.

I'll have to deal with it, same way you have to deal with Trump now and until 2024. It will be one more nail in the coffin of the West.

"also my mom doesn't pay me nothing but good job making yourself look foolish" Look over that sentence... who looks foolish here?

who the people involved are tend to matter unless they are just having random phases of mania.

Oh since we're doing stereotypes, I guess you're a racist, overweight incel.

[Bogmore]

Although considering a lot of the "he had a weapon" claims that turn out to be bullshit I can see why people are skeptical. No excuse for rioting or violence though. If it turns out he did have a weapon and was smashing police cars, then I can understand the police being threatened. Although shooting a suspect should always be last resort imo.

A Car is a weapon.

[Zython]

How dare the cops do their jobs? So racist. They probably shouted "This is MAGA country!" while they did it too.

The fact that it's the job of the police to brutalize and execute the poor is just evidence that the system of policing is bad and unnecessary.

How is being willfully ignorant treating you.

[Zython]

Why are they angry a violent and unstable man died while attacking police again...?

Maybe because the police shouldn't be executing people in the street?

They claim to want a better system but despise any system that actually protects them disgraceful.

Yes. A system that actually protects people. Not one that protects capital.

Are you arguing that he wasn't poor, or that he's still alive?

[Thirza]

Are you arguing that he wasn't poor, or that he's still alive?

I'm arguing that his life is less valuable than that of the police and other lives he threatened.

[Zython]

Well I have a helpful solution to this problem!

Interesting how you don't have this reaction to rich people raping and murdering us.

So who gave you the power to decide who lives and who dies? Why shouldn't I have that power and (hypothetically) decide that you deserve to die?

You think this is about his ethnicity, he is a violent criminal, and you think it is appropriate to compare me to him.

[Zython]

You think this is about his ethnicity,

When did I say that?

he is a violent criminal, and you think it is appropriate to compare me to him.

Given the fact that you're currently defending murderous political violence, I'd say that you're probably worse than him.

He was shooting at the police with a rifle.

His warrant was for shooting a man five times..

Are you .. serious?

Your audacity is outrageous, I am a teacher, I volunteer at food banks and animal shelters.

You are outfuckingrageous.

So was Mao Zedong, but that didn't make him not a violent authoritarian like you.

You seem to be operating under the belief that the people and policies you support and vote for have no material consequences. That's not the case. Honestly, I'm certain that you're responsible for more pain and suffer than he ever was just by your actions at the ballot box.

The policies I support are to help people and the world just like I do almost every day.

Violent authoritarian for saying that {innocent people > violent criminals.} You have completely gone off the rails of sanity.

You don't even know who you're talking to to be saying ignorant bullshit like that. Did your family take in a family during hurricane katrina? I doubt it.

Then why are you demanding a Judge Dredd-style police state?

[Thirza]

I'm not demanding shit.

I'm saying that if someone shoots another person and leaves them for dead and starts firing on the police that the police don't owe that criminal their lives.

Have you considered that letting the state decide who lives and dies at their whim is a bad idea for numerous reasons?

He was a violent criminal. He had it coming.

Again, why do you get to decide who lives and who dies?

It's interesting how, when it comes to the rights of fascists, people say "protecting the rights of the worst of us ensures the rights of the best of us". But when it comes to street crime, all bets are off.
