Author | Topic: Police Shootings | |||||||||||||||||

I have been chased/charged by over 200 (or 500) dogs in my life, and I never got any teeth sunk into me (just a few times when I was little, and it was never such a big bite).
I am not a cop, and I assume they will get a higher percentage of actual attacks (not simply a charging dog but a bite). Back in NYC, I have literally been threatened with arrest for (almost) refusing to walk down a street where a man with a seizure had a dog protecting him. I think a dog got shot one time, right after an officer told me to go another way, so I could not see what was about to happen (I'm not sure what happened the time I was sort of involved). I wish there was something that could be done, because this society is full of cowards that shoot dogs, knowing there will be no criminal charges against the shooters. Why not wait until a dog actually bites before shooting? A gun ensures no problem getting them off. (I know jaws lock on some dogs, as it happened when I walked a Pit Bull which got attacked by a skunk. He got too close and the skunk attacked him, then he killed it by biting its back. He got a good hold and his jaw locked. He could not unlock his jaw, and it took me 15 minutes to separate his locked jaw from the skunk. A jaw lock is the only reason a cop should shoot before actually getting physically attacked, and it is a weak reason.) And most bites are weak anyway. There has to be something better than shooting in most of these dog shooting cases.

Why not hold police to a high standard?
They make a mistake, then they should pay. They choke somebody out, then they should have no excuses. They shoot somebody who is unarmed, then they should pay. Too many legislated loopholes allow them to get off. (just like citizens get to legally shoot just because they are loosing a fistfight, like the 29-year-old Zimmerman in Florida who was loosing to a 17 year-old Martin) Why does this have to be a gun issue?

quote: Her excuse will (as always in these cases) be that she "felt her health or life was threatened". Just like George Zimmerman of Florida did(at least he was actually being beaten up, unlike the home-invader Guyger, who simply barged into an innocent man's house). But Zimmerman went looking for trouble, and the kid Martin noticed Zimmerman was coming after him. Martin had the right to use his fists, if I am the one writing the letter of the law. Fight with your fists, not guns (not knives, not mace). Hypotheticals: If Martin hypothetically beat an unarmed Zimmerman to death, then he should be held to account (though it was in self defense, so perhaps his hypothetical sentence would be a bit less than the typical murder) END OF HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO My whole point is that one should fight with fists. Not guns. But bringing death should be seen as extremely serious. This "I felt threatened" is just way to big of a loophole. If somebody is so much of a coward, then perhaps they should file for disability (avoiding the need for a job) and never leave their house. They should certainly not be a neighborhood watchman who tails young men who walk through a street. Guyger felt "threatened". People like her are the worst and most dangerous alive (aside from the lawmakers in this country). I feel threatened when there is a possibility that human-slime like her might just be legally (!) allowed to do what she did.

From 1854 to 2003, no white got the death penalty for killing a black in Texas. Up until 2016 (and possibly ever), no white ever got the death penalty for killing a black, in Florida. No whites got executed for killing blacks in Alabama from 1913-2016 in Alabama. The Anomaly of Dylann Roof | The Marshall Project 2 This lady was on record (electronic messages to a friend) supporting a person who trained his dog to have a certain (unfriendly and alert) reaction to blacks. She essentially described herself as "racist" (the dog was said to be "racist"). THIS LADY IS A POLICE OFFICER! 3 This lady said, in electronic communication, she shoots "fast" so she dies "last". She was describing her police conduct. (She must shoot fast when in the middle of an on-duty policing situation, if she shot a harmless and unarmed man point blank in the chest, while not in the heat of a job-related situation) SOLUTIONS? The most simple solution to the problem of racist cops shooting blacks is to only hire black officers IN THE FUTURE. One can grandfather clause existing white police-officers. But future white officers should be disqualified. The issue of the "I was scared" problem is more difficult to pin down. We can easily see what an awful officer this lady was, NOW, but her fellow officers sure did fail to notice what they probably should have. MY THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS: A 10 year sentence for murder is odd in a state like Texas, but that was apparently was a majority-black jury decision. This "murder" charge and conviction really was a no-brainer. Good job, Dallas, on that part. What to do about racist police officers? I think there really needs to be some radical solutions, there.

quote: But that is not true. In Florida (a state with a population bigger than New York state), first degree murder does bring the death penalty. But, no white has ever gotten the death penalty in the blood-hungry state of Florida IF THE VICTIM WAS BLACK. This is a diverse state with a population larger than most countries. Lots of white on white murders in Florida. Lots of black on black murders in Florida. Lots of black on white murders in Florida. Lots of white on black murders there. Lots of death sentences in Florida. It just so happens that Florida has never executed a white person for killing a black. Why? (We know why, and the attitudes of Florida aren't too different from the rest of the country)
quote: There has been a problem in the larger "white community" at-large. This "problem" has caused too many black humans to loose their lives. This problem has been noticed (very well-noted) in the black community. This problem is a cancer upon the body of the nation. This problem has caused many tens of millions to loose confidence in the larger population in the United States of America. There is a problem with WHITE RACISM (and racial bias against black humans). White racism (in all of its shades) is real. It is a major problem. Major problems require major solutions.

Killings of Black Men by Whites are Far More Likely to be Ruled Justifiable | The Marshall Project
quote: This was about a third of the text article. There are a lot of graphics to show the data from different cities. Very informative. It is a disturbing reality
