Sadly, too many people are stupid like that

Nah the cop with the tazer definitely drops it, and at least 2 gun sounds match his gun kicking

Not sure why he didn't want to kneel though

Maybe he's from beyond the wall?

There should be a 30 second law. Do what the cop says in 30 seconds or you get shot.
Figure out whats right and wrong after the fact

More emphases on body cam, less arguing and BS

It would soon rid the corrupt cops

well a timer would be too extreme,

But I do agree something should be done to protect cops when something like this happens, when some dude obstructs
And yes, more cameras, better for all involved

The 30 second law is not a good idea tho

Yea..also media making poc extremely paranoid about cops doesn't help as well

15 seconds it is then

heh

If they -only- ever talk about cops doing bad stuff when it concerns POC it makes them paranoid.

well, same is reverse, when media talks about cops getting shot by unruly colorlings, cops get ichy trigger fingers

or the reverse, cops won't do anything for fear of being deemed a criminal in the court of public opinion

yea

If every cop was forced to record everything, and all recording was made public, nobody would ever have a reason to not follow orders

believe me, people will still try

Isn't it in UK where the cops are afraid to arrest POC for fear of being branded as a racist?

Body cams to everyone would be good start

Hence the 15 second law

it's 15 now ?

Yes, I compromised

Do what the cop says, get the video, cop gets fired if it was mal practice, nobody dies

>cop orders someone to hands up
>person is deaf
>person makes hand motions signing they deaf
>cop: well, 15 seconds up and I have no translater here, too bad buddy
>cop shoots the deaf person
10/10

any seconds to comply law is stupid

it could be abused to hell

Survival of the fittest, life is cruel man

this incident happened before, where the cops were barking conflicting orders to a guy, he was literally crying out of fear, and they shot him

Turns out they got the wrong guy

yea

people do stupid things when they're terrified, they might get catatonic

He might be doing some hand signs to call his homies

Well he didn't listen, he didn't even move, he was terrified, but we shot him cuz law you know

Well if it was common practice to follow direction..

that guy had no chance

They prolly need to update on their terms of engagement

Every time someone argues with a cop, they help push the narrative to resist or you die

When the reality is resist and die

I wonder how few people have been shot for following police direction

Like that dude who's missus was live streaming to Facebook last year maybe

But not many

I think context of the situation is important in deciding whether or not to resist

And by the look of his missus, the cop did him a favour

Would you want to date someone that would live stream your death to Facebook and publish it while they still in the car slipping on a slush puppy

At least take a 5 min break between your bf being shot dead and hitting the publish button

If they give me 15 seconds, I would

Coming to grips with your lovers death should take longer than the time required to finish a frozen coke

It was the middle of summer

She might be a stone cold bitch, but he still tap dat ass

Ayyyyy

I concede

ass tapping? waht i miss?

So the baby was decapitated, but Mercat didn't hide it

Not sure that makes it better..

It makes it more of a 'normal' event if that helps

yeah, but thats still really bad

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-44724700

😂

mighty voodoo indeed

Lol

@Dunk Massive I mean yournewswire and infowars seem pretty bias thats why I inquired, so... there was no radio silence, but this actually did happen, and they recognize it as basically an honor killing or they didnt want to go that far because they'd be called xenophobic and thats a death knell for anyone in Germany?

Don't know if the guy was "reaching" or not, but once he's on the ground, why does the cop keep shooting?

ensure the "threat" is neutralised

I thought tasers rendered people immobile? How is that a threat?

tasers don't always work

you just reminded me of donut operator

with his rant about tazers never working

Looked to me like the guy had his hands up until the cop said "I'm going to tase you" and started moving in.

I got into an argument as well why its not feasable for everyone to use nonlethal

It's less about them 'never' working

His argument that if americans wanted self defense, then why not use non lethal?

De-escalation needs to be a thing. I didn't sense any from that cop.

***REEEEEEEEEEEE***

And more of a fact that, if it's not 100% reliable, and you're trying to use it to stop someone trying to attack you

why the hell do you depend on it?

two barbs. both have to hit. Even so, there are some people who can resist it.

And some clothing can render it neglegible

Some people don't crumple at pepper spray, either.

adrenaline, one hell of a drug

Uh huh.

Also drugs.

I mean people sometimes dont reaalize they were shot

yes, drugs are one hell of a drug too

Tranqs are also on the same boat.

Different dosages

And overdoses. Also have to be applied at specific parts.

localised overdose you say?

oh noes! his left foot is OD'ing, quick! amputate it

Basically, imagine if you had a 'non-lethal' means of self-defense. This mode of defense rolls two six sided dice. If either die rolls a 3 or lower, the attack fails. If the total comes out below an 8, the attack fails.

Would you trust that weapon to defend your life?

you roll a dice?

When did reality become D&D?

do i get + points from my charisma buff?

No. 😛

But I mean, that's the taser dilemma in a nutshell.

You've got a low chance of it actually working

you get bitched at by the media for using it

you get bitched at by the media for not using it.

I mean, the media was talking about some guy at a felony traffic stop having a 'shotgun' pointed at the suspect.

media is damned if you do, damned if you dont

as long as they can rake in profits and don't get attacked

Never mind the fact that the shotgun they were pointing had a green buttstock, indicating that it was loaded with non-lethal rounds

I.E. beanbags

Meanwhile, Metokur covering a protest in Chicago right now

Where people are playing in the freeway.

roadkill for detroit?

10 points

Metokur's already talking about how CocaCola should counter the old rioter pepsi ads

by just running a coke truck through the crowd...

I hear Coca Cola Deathsquads?

Moments before a Coca-Cola truck of peace

do i hear a loud car off in the distance?

lel

thats killzone

Anyway, if a suspect's on the ground not moving, I see zero reason to swap taser for gun and start shooting. Also, I heard gunshots before the tasered man even hit the ground.

Maybe I missed the specific, can you link me?

Just a sec, will try to find.

Here ya go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9cscIyQBJw&feature=youtu.be

Aaaand that's an example of police officers fucking up.

Ever notice how cops generally call 'Tazer Tazer Tazer'?

Yeah... the cops with live rounds were standing around, high adrenaline, suddenly he's hit by a tazer and his hands go down rapidly. Other cops started shooting.

uhh the cop further away wasn't even aiming

the one that's back to camera you can't really tell

They do?

Often times, yeah.

It's an alert to other cops that a taser is being deployed

I didn't see any real communication between the cops in that scenario

so what the fuck was that video

He announces twice he's gonna taze the suspect

loudly

y'all see the video where one cop was freaking out with his gun out and the other cops are just like

"don't mind jackass here"

I don't remember where I saw it

but it was some black kid being accosted for whatever reason and most of the cops there are just being chill

but this onw motherfucker has his gun out, hands shaking, ON YOUR KNEES AAAAAAAA

and nobody's taking him seriously

it was fucking dumb

they are delusional

so desperate for a win

'transition the United States to a 100-percent renewable energy system by 2035.' lmao good luck with that

What're we at now? 15% on a good day?

that article thinks that US can tackle climate change alone..how cute

at least that's how it sounds to me

Thats always how it is because we always seem to disagree with europe on how it needs to get done and they're the only other ones interested.

Interesting how emerging market countries don't want to switch from cheap sources of energy. Hmm. HMMMMM

Climate Change has to be handled internationally

these people don't know anything outside of the US

but we cant give all responsibility to the State

no they dont

outside of what the media says about Mexico

yea..you guys can ruin your country however much you want to try achieve that in 20 years but doesn't matter shit if most of the world doesn't give a shit.. specially china

pretty much

iirc China is actually doing more to fix things

We are the ones falling behind now

You can "ruin" your country and then repent with conservatorship over the next decade to fix it all. It works. But while you're in the industrial stage you're contributing to the global problem

are they now ? big if true

point is Cortez and her supporters cannot assume they are the only ones who can fix the problem

it might literally be a ploy for power though

but people like .. socialist believe changes have to be radical so .. yeah they will believe that

Emerging states have every right to do terrible things in order to make money so they can fix things later. That s how shit works

Socialists and Communists all think they are doing whats morally correct

all while committing im-moral acts

same with real fascists tbh

They are Machiavellian

Ends justifies the means

well..the article is already being ratio'd fast

i love that term

?

ratio'd means a post is getting more negative comments than likes and/or retweets

o

yea

Alright guys

And gals

My grandmother just called me an isolationist because I think that we should have a choice to pay into Medicare

replies are kinda fucked up

lol what?!

how???

they arent that related

I dont know

Bit that's what she said

Isnt it common sense to have a choice to pay into a governmental system

Because I pay for medical insurance and because of that I feel I shouldn't have to pay into Medicare

Is that not the correct way of looking at it?

isolationism... medicare... isolationism... medicare...

dunno about you burgers but here if goverment is taking money for something , it's never optional

isolationism... medicare... isolationism... medicare...isolationism...
isolationism... medicare... isolationism... medicare...isolationism...

i think health care should be an option provided by the State and private businesses

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YqLqVeJGgM Kyle shows his true colors

RED

lel

I personally dislike his apparent hate of centrists

He legit admits that its a hostile take over

Didn’t you know that centrists are Nazi enablers?

that advocate for half genocide

siiiiigh

yeaa siigh.. rising star of barely winning by getting barely any votes

the miss Cortez

true

Dems are loosing their way

allowing themselves to be taken over

I have hard time finding any fucks to give about democrats ruining themselves anymore tbh..

yea to some extent i agree but i just dont want to be surrounded by commies when i get more into politics

I don’t care because it’s just going to make more Republicans.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I need to snatch the right people and maybe make that moderate party thing happen

idk

oh def it will

problem is that effectively makes us psuedo-one party state and i want to avoid that

7.3 percent of elegible voters voted for the socialist

unfortunately the way things are going it looks like republicans are going to be in charge until another political party rises to replace the democrats

I'm watching actual sane thinking democrats every day on twitter trying to talk sense into the party and failing and being called names..

that is not a number that says that the party should listen to her

Sounds like it's time to do a soft coup of the Libertarian party

Rename it USIP

😝

usip lmao

Yea that’s why I want to try to find the same ones and either take over the libertarians or start a new one depending on who joins

Although yea she did barely win so

make it BFI..because fuck it

that could actually be viable though. just take over the Libertarians and turn them uh... libertarian

Maybe things are thaaaat bad

Not AnCaps lol

Except I personally don’t think the market should have full freedom I believe in regulations so long as it’s reasonable

🅱

I do not agree with giving the market over to the State though

So I might be a bad libertarian

I agree that a completely free market is probably a bad thing ™

Industrial Era markets were nuts until regulations

Also when Communism became a thing

communism should never be a thing

Nope

I meant more as a concept

But comrade <:commie:463087263153258506>, we should never questionthe State's <:commie:463087263153258506> authority

Is bad for lifespan

Fuck the State

State works for me not the other way around

Which oddly what Commies THINK they’re trying to achieve

But seems democracy is the only form of government that holds the state accountable for its actions in accordance with the people
