Please, Iraqvetmansplain me where in the 2nd Amendment it says anything about open carry.
Itâs highly possible âiraqvetâ isnât a vet at all but a sock puppet well known around these parts. This guy thinks the 2nd amendment si about open carry. He conveniently misses the part about âa well regulated militiaâ. In other words one keeps their weapon as part of their kit while part of an organized military force. It does not mean untrained idiots walking around ready to waste anyone they disagree with. What iraqvet is advocating for is anarchy, not freedom.

Yes, Darrtown was correct. It was just another of the sociopathic socks.
The good news is that they donât stick around long.

To be fair, two people are dead because of an idiot robbing someone with a toy gun and the police who spray bullets indiscriminatly.

If the crew member was black or larger than 250 lbs, then itâs wrong to call him unarmed.
Just trying to apply what Iâve learned from the GOP this week to the situation at hand.
Ben Steinâs got my back. Who else? Steve Doocy? Check.

The police had no choice, the police chief said. Good thing the dimwit isnât trying to do any police work in Europe, I guess. They seem to have lots of choices other than overwhelming firepower.
The latter. It really does come down to police training. Less money spent on maintaining armored vehicles, and more money spent on tactics to deescalate situations, to remain cam under pressure, and shooting to incapacitate, rather than shoot to kill.
Yes, the latter.
My father in law made good money as a Chicago cop and he gets a great pension. Too bad he never had any ethics training. He is quite proud of the many people he framed as a member of the Red Squad.
I wouldnât be too quick to blame the cops. The gun the guy had looked real and he was pointing it at the clerk. Schmauder is a new police chief within the last couple years and he seems to be doing a good job. He said if he had known this would happen he never would have consented to have COPS film in Omaha. (The robber was Black and the COP crewman was white, not that it makes a real difference.) This crime took place across the street from where my daughterâs mother-in-law lives and she witnessed the entire thing.
Schmauder has been doing his best to turn crime in Omaha around, but he really has his hands full since crime was already way up before he came. Ever since the gangs came to town around 20 years ago crime keeps rising. There seems to be at least one shooting every night.
Back in the late 80s, early 90s it was rare to hear of a murder in Omaha. Now itâs an every day occurrence.
About three years ago a cop chased a guy into a house, dragged him out and brutalized him and the cop was brought up on charges for being overly aggressive plus he had no warrant to go in the house. The guy wasnât even the reason the cops were called. The cop was convicted too. Luckily someone got video on their camera.
Itâs entirely possible the original decision to shoot was justified. The gun looks real enough and there was, apparently, a sort of hostage situation. However, once the target moved to a point where others were in the line of fire they should have stopped until they could get a clear shot. Given the pattern in the window itâs amazing they didnât kill anybody outside or a block away. As a former officer I know that you never fire when you cannot be certain you wonât hit somebody else. Never!
But will there be slo-mo coverage of the entrance and exit wounds???
TV at its finest.
why is that police chief wearing what looks like military foliage on his chest? what campaigns was he in? what foreign wars did he serve in? as far as Iâm aware, domestic police serve only in a civilian capacity, and they have no business at all having what appears to be military-type items on their uniforms.

if theyâre that afraid, all the time, then perhaps law enforcement isnât really suitable for them. professional peace officers are supposed to be trained to control their emotions, in stressful situations. this is supposedly what separates them from the rest of the civilian population. if theyâre not able to do that, they need to be removed from the force, as they are a grave danger to themselves and the community.

Thereâs a nine year old girl from NJ recently traveling thru Arizona that could have handled the situation with equal aplomb.
You said it! I suspect however this situation in general is more about bully than about coward.
Taking bets that poor âBryce Dionâ was black.
Any takers?
Perhaps now theyâll stop exploiting citizens only suspected of some misbehavior to provide entertainment for stupid people. Karma is a bitch.
Firing from the interior, almost perpendicular to brick-faced pillars. Ricochet hazard. Was their target moving?
The pattern might also be from two or more weapons converging toward a near point, the projectiles spreading out in a fan pattern beyond the central target.
That is too broad of a brush. Most police that I know, (and I know quite a few having worked in ERs for years and now have several police friends) take their jobs as peace keepers very seriously. They know that even if they are justified in using lethal force, their lives and the lives of the person they are confronting will never be the same. They will go far to avoid accelerating a bad situation into a deadly one.
There are most likely whole departments where there is a different (and toxic) mind-set unfortunately, but I just canât let all the âall police are craven bulliesâ go unchallenged.
