U.S. Police Have Shot Dead 385 People In Five Months

I'm confused.... your hypothesis cannot be correct... if it were you would not be here......

 

You obviously haven't seen the movie Idiocracy.

 

Do you ever get tired of being wrong? I have has 2 encounters with the police while I WAS armed with a handgun. Once the idiot cop damaged my firearm and as mad as I was, I am evolved enough to control my temper and make 'em pay for a complete factory refinish with engraving that wasn't there to begin with.

 

Lol…Don'cha know? All cop killings are "lawful shootings".
While the rogue ones are out murdering unarmed suspects, most of the rest are busy covering up their criminality and complaining that they are the real victims.

 

Most of the rest? So you would call a cop when your car gets stolen or you are being assaulted?

 

Not good.
Because that would just mean that cops get fired and those people will become bountyhunters and do the exact same thing.
What you need is a police union who will refuse to back up cops who unnecessary kill people. So far they always back up them unconditionally. And even it's just awkward that them cops get out free, but the city ends up paying millions in damages.

 

Yeah,... but not the right to murder them.
Keep your distance, shoot them in the leg when they are armed and get to close for comfort.
If they run away... shoot them in the leg.

How freaking hard is that? Currently they just are unloading their weapons in the chest or when running away.. in the back. Because we all know... when they are running away, they still are "attacking" and so the cops got the right to murder according to some.

 

The difference is that cops enjoy immunity from prosecution for their crimes unless it can be proven it was premeditated. Private police can both be prosecuted by criminal and civil law personally if they commit a crime. BIG difference.

 

The "just shoot them in the leg" argument is old and debunked years ago. It's clear you have no shooting experience and you most definitely have never had to wield a gun in a shooting scenario.

As for cops shooting an "attacker" running away, now you are simply attempting play word games.

Just because someone is running away doesn't mean they shouldn't be shot.

 

Debunked my tooshy. How do you think actually civilized countries do it?

 

Yet according to the CDC and the Congressional Research services guns have increased 56% and gun homicides have gone down 49%

Considering the criminality our police face it is a wonder the toll isn't around 10,000 or more.

 

So... 0.00000something percen?

Pretty good.

 

Lol clueless...

You don't know what you're saying.

 

Considering all the crime, and the violent brutality of the criminals nowadays, that number is rather small. I mean, that works out to about 1 1/2 per month in an entire state. And after all, we're not talking about meter readers or dog catchers. We give these guys guns and badges and tell them to uphold the law and send them into the streets where they face the worst of humanity, every day, all day long. So while we're sipping cappuccinos and tapping on a keyboard. They're out there in every dangerous situation imaginable. Then some yahoo comes along like the opening poster, leveling a general condemnation of them all. So I suppose there aren't any real crimes. None deserve to be killed. None deserve a ticket. None deserve to be arrested. It must also mean that all the calls to 911 are hoaxes. And emergency rooms are for sniffles and such. And all that the Police have to do is smile at people and tip their hats. Cake job, right? Kinda like sipping cappuccinos and tapping a keyboard. Doesn't require killing anybody.

 

I asked a question... how do other civilized countries do it?
And the answer to that shows that you're the one who is clueless.
You and I both know it.
lol

 

thats all? out of 300+million people in the whole country only 400 have been killed by police?

Wanna talk about gang violence and how people gang bangers victimize in 5 months? Why don't you care about them?

Oh wait, it's not PC to talk about that.

 

You just said, "Prejudice is the most useful tool of tyranny. Once you can make people believe that the world is divided into bad guys and good guys, the rest is easy. You simply label a group of people as bad guys and then proceed to eliminate their rights and their lives using prejudice to justify it. " So, by your own words, you have decided that the cops are the bad guys and are using prejudice to justify it. What a hypocrite...

 

Compared to the rest of the world, it's enormous.
Most cops in the UK don't even carry a gun to shoot.

 

Other civilized countries don't deal with the type of organized crime we have here, dumbass.

How many cartel members and gang members are killed in the UK every year? Just take a guess.

There are more gang members in the city of Chicago then there are in all of the UK.

That's how they do it. They don't deal with the (*)(*)(*)(*) heads we have over here.

'Shoot them in the leg' lol. You've clearly never even handled a gun before. You should learn about the topic before jumping in and trying to discuss it.

 

Oh what a load of crap.
In case you missed it on this forum, but there has been an endless stream of reports how the police shot people all over multiple times who were fleeing. Them reports are ALL about how American cops work,.. or more like, how dysfunctional the US police is and how the local governments are made to pay millions in damages.

You clearly are only tapping in on caveman urges of having weapons, and murdering.
Look at this cop, has a gun, is attacked, he aint impressed at all, and so aint making a massacre of it.
A civilized cop.

 

Gee, I wonder if that has anything to do with it ?

Also the UK does not have even close to the gang problems we do, or many of the other problems we have to face.

What, you want to disarm our officers to give the gun toting criminals the edge?

 

Should be no people murdering, raping, robbing, etc.
But there are. So until we live in that perfect world there will be situations where police have to use force.

Or should they just look the other way and let the criminals go along their merry way committing more crime?

 

Fact: In the first 24 days of 2015, police in the US fatally shot more people than police did in England and Wales, combined, over the past 24 years

Fact: There has been just one fatal shooting by Icelandic police in the country’s 71-year history. The city of Stockton, California – with 25,000 fewer residents than all of Iceland combined – had three fatal encounters in the first five months of 2015.

The US population is roughly four times that of Germany,
Fact: Police in the US have shot and killed more people – in every week this year – than are reportedly shot and killed by German police in an entire year.

Fact: Police in the US fatally shot more people in one month this year than police in Australia officially reported during a span of 19 years.

 

Is anyone eliminating cops? The ratio of cop to civilian deaths are 50 to 2000. Well there goes your analogy out the window. Cops have declared war on the American people. They shoot first and do not care about the consequences because they are protected by qualified immunity. And yes people who kill other people are bad guys. Deal with it.

 

Fact, none of those countries have any of the same problems we do with the gang and street culture we have here.

Fact, UK police are not allowed guns or there would be more shootings by cops.

Fact, Gang bangers have more guns than cops do and kill way more people than cops can even attempt too

Fact, None of the countries you listed have anywhere near the cultural diversity the USA has, nor the population, nor have the freedom we do.

Fact, your case is BS.
