For the FTP's amongst us

Specifically the one that pulled the trigger in this event. There were 2 officers on scene that didn't fuck up and shoot someone that presented no danger to them.

 

Just another small isolated event. LOL

 

I believe if you'll go back and read it was indicated by the singularity in my statement. If I had wanted to include all of them I would not have said "the idiot with the badge and gun" and would have said "those idiots with the badges and guns".

 

I know you’re trying to be a smartass, but this is the most accurate thing you’ve stated in this thread.

Based on the most recent data I could find from 2011, 62.9m residents had an encounter with police. That comes out to 172,328/day. If there was 1 police shooting/day, that would still equate to a whopping .0000058%. But sure, it obviously isn’t an isolated event.

 

And in this specific event it was one in three cops that acted like a jackass. A full 33.3%. Not exactly isolated.

 

Lol!!! Hell, by your convoluted math, it’s not even close to a majority and IS isolated.

 

So if they are all so isolated and rare instances then why are these guys always so justified in their "it's always life threatening" approach? A meteor fell out of the sky once and killed everything on the planet. Pretty isolated event by the numbers. Do you walk out the door everyday acting like that could happen at any moment?

 

A .230 batting average will get you into the hall of fame.

 

Ahhh..shit. Jase agreed with the position of the "Chicago Hate Crime" thread. Maybe a meteor is going to hit us any time now.

 

I didn't think there was any possible confusion in his post until I got to yours. It was already pretty clear who the idiot was way back when we discussed that incident.

 

I checked outside, no frogs or locust...

 

It's winter. You need to check for a different sign. Have you spotted any unicorns in your neighborhood?

 

Don't forget White walkers.

 

Tennessee is floating a bill to make it illegal for cops to turn off their bodycams in "bad faith".

While I acknowledge the need to video interactions I don't think anyone wants to be micromanaged.

 

Tell Floriduh it's winter. Almost 90° here the other day.

 

Well, shit! Just read that statistic to the guy who got shot in the leg while laying in the street next to his autistic charge. I'm sure he'll feel much better about the whole bullet wound thing.
