    My claim about what ? That they lack training ? The formation to become Police Officer is no more than 6 months (depending of state), it is far too short.

    Dude, your position is that one should quit his job if he is under trained to do it. This is the ridiculous position here.

    You’re just getting salty, because you realise that your arguments are no excuse for killing him.

    Straw-manning and the weird insult only supports that

    I have most probably save more lives than all you combined (because I was once part of a law enforcement force), and I know what it requires to do the job right and it is not as simple as you all make it out to be.

    What makes you think some of us don't try help out people we see that are struggling? Just because you may not care doesn't mean that you can project that on the rest of us.

    I mean you can, but you'd be wrong.

    Not because I base my arguments on reality and how life works while you base yours on fantasy on how perfect humans are supposed to behave.

    Excusing it is not exactly support. Also, the good old binary thinking. Both are bad, both need to be condemned.
    As for looters, the last videos speak for themselves about how many people participiated. I am sure dozens of people stealing TV's is done in support of the shot man.
    They are hijacking protests and creating issues for the BLM and allied movements and should be publicly condemned by everyone.

    I condemn both. So do most people here from what I can tell. So do most supporters of BLM and the protests. Who is specifically defending looting and why aren't you just dismissing them out of hand if that's the case?

    I really don’t think you understand what I said... Let me add something to it... I don’t have the cadence or the demeanor to boast about phantom lives I’ve saved.

    That's a basic ethical standard. How on earth is that "ridiculous"?

    You don’t base your argument on either reality or fantasy? What?

    And yet I do not see a lot of people wanting to leave their job because they are undertrained. It does exist, but it is rare, far rarer than it should be. Why is that ?

    To be fair, he's making such a fool of himself it's kinda entertaining if you're not really involved in the conversation and also already very bored waiting for food to cook.
