Anyone who follows the technology won't be surprised this is coming, but this the first push I've seen by any of our nation's top politicians or executives to move policing towards this sort of on-uniform evidence gathering.

Not to mention the subsequent police necessity in the communities caused by vandals & robbers veiling themselves in the guise of "protesters".

With the direction this thread has taken (not that I don't enjoy the cerebral banter you boys are engaging in), I agree with the OP on her request for closing it... And then I would love to see the current topic picked back up in political forum and watch you two go after it....��Eccie is not in the habit of rescue missions. When you post in public forums, the public will post. It's not always going to be stuff you want posted, but that is the nature of free speech.

CPAs, Lawyers, Housewives all banning together to burn down their neighborhoods in protest.
Robbery, using force, is a felony. the "summary judgment" was AFTER he was attacked in his car by a 300# man and assaulted. Did you fail to get that through all the testimony?
Maybe the disinfectant of sunlight (or camera footage) will shed a little light on these police shootings of minorities that have been and will continue to happen like clockwork.
Well when you attack someone they will defend themselves. And when you level a gun at someone they will shoot back. Minority or not...
If the police we invest extraordinary power in to enforce the laws of the land are blameless, they should welcome the chance to be exonerated by an unbiased witness. We're always being told how we have nothing to fear if we have nothing to hide. Suddenly that doesn't cut both ways?
I don't see a both ways...I see criminals that would be alive today had they obeyed the law. There IS video of the one at the gas station that caused a riot. He pulled a gun, pointed it at an officer and the officer shot him. Yet we still see indignation and riots...why is that?
Want to keep more from being killed? Teach your children that if you don't break laws or make officers fear for their safety, you very likely WON'T GET SHOT.
And maybe a little damning footage will result in a little less impunity in the use of excessive force. Maybe society will finally begin to appreciate the stupidity of militarizing what was originally supposed to be a civilian police force. Maybe we'll even see amelioration in our lifetimes of the rift dividing trenchant police and the resentful communities they're mandated to protect.
And maybe my fairy godmother will grant all my wishes....do you have a clue the areas where this is happening? Gang infested, police hating.
Or we could just not ask any questions when a black teen dies, because only white folks' lives are worth a grand jury hearing? Clearly the only options are completely unaccountable use of lethal force by police and total anarchy! #sarcasm
Questions sure. Public outrage when a thug gets put down, no. Turning everything into a racial issue is simply race baiting. Surely, surely you don't agree that an officer should turn the other cheek when hes attacked? Neither of us know if there was excessive force used in the Brown situation. A grand jury decided IT WASNT. But we continue to see riots, thefts & violence in the name of "protest". Its not protest, its a reason to smash and grab.

Not that I'm a fan of how grand juries are practiced...
http://grandjuryresistance.org/grandjuries.html
Though, like police, I'm all for them in principle, and they are provided for in the Firth Amendment. Anyone remember that little piece of parchment, our Constitution?
Which guarantees life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness...which in no way means rob a store, break the law, attach a cop & suffer no penalties (the cop is subject to the same constitutional rights, agreed)?. A thug died. It was tragic. But that's about all that happened here. People wanted a cause celebrity and made a poor assed choice...
Repeat after me...THE GRAND JURY SAID THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE TO INDICT THE OFFICER. The police didn't decide that, a jury of CITIZENS decided that.
Had they decided there was sufficient reason, I would have agreed with them, but after reading much of the testimony I agree they mad the right decision.
I was under the possibly mistaken impression it was strongly discouraged by the mods. But I stand corrected if there was nothing to RTM. Yes you were wrong. Its a simple mistake as much as the act is frowned upon, but its NOT illegal or against any bylaws....its just not a topic of discussion often Originally Posted by Centaur

SB usually alerts or accusatory threads are closed only after both parties have had their say and the thread has become old and redundant.
As of yet nobody has heard a peep from RichPrick and this thread is anything but old and redundant.
You can't really start fire and then demand that the mods put it out just because you're the one who got burnt.
That being said they might just shut it down because they feel like it. Depends upon whether Z has had his coffee yet and is stuck in front of the screen because the weather outside is cold and rainy. Originally Posted by Windinhishair
