Looters ransack Target store

[rjs330]

ALL OF THEM. Police are trained to disarm and arrest WITHOUT OPEN FIRE at ALL COSTS. Instead it's more like SHOOT as soon as they "fear for their life". We've seen mass shooters taken into custody peacefully and most importantly.. ALIVE.

Sorry that is patently false. They are not trained that way. It is only YOUR OPINION that they all were unjustified. Your opinion is not based upon facts, but emotion.

Great work Nancy Drew. Unfortunately I did not compile the list but I'm sure that the original creator had GOOD REASON to include those names. I don't know the credibility of your sources but you're telling me a 10 MINUTE STAND-OFF justifies killing Aries Clark, and that India Kager's death couldn't have been avoided? You are perpetuating a system of INCOMPETENT OFFICERS when you can easily say such deaths are justified.

I don't know the compilers motives since we haven't gotten a link to the web site. But we've seen yours.

Sir, when someone is killed you should be emotional. What I should have written is that police SHOULD BE trained to arrest without fatality at all costs.. but since they are not, all deaths are by definition AVOIDABLE and UNJUSTIFIED. If it is a matter of OPINION whether a person deserves to be killed then my opinion remains objective. Feel free to disagree.

Absolutely disgusting! Police caught on camera destroying protester supplies

Look who's LOOTING now! How can people still demand peaceful protest when those in charge have made it IMPOSSIBLE? They are the same ones with their guns ready as soon as the demonstrators react. If you still cannot see the deeper issues then feel free to REMOVE YOURSELF from the conversation.

If you put down "supplies" in preparation of destroying stuff, don't be surprised if they get taken away.

What is this even? Water bottles? Gotta stay hydrated while burning down the mom'n'pop at the corner?

You're kidding me right? Listen to yourself because I no longer will.

I thought that it was an intelligent way of discouraging the rioters without going to a potentially deadly head-to-head confrontation.

discouraging

It's called antagonizing sir.

Not sure how discouraging destroying water bottles is. Just creates a BYOW riot.

The non-confrontational way to handle a riot is to do everything possible to make the rioters give up and go home on their own.

Whether this action on it's own makes much difference; probably not.

Do you see any rioters in the video sir? Police are out here tear gassing protesters and then LOOTING their milk and water. It does not make them want to go home it P*SSES them off even more. SAY IT WITH ME: POLICE START RIOTS.

Police Erupt in Violence Nationwide

I have not heard of any deaths in the protests so where are you getting this information from.

Several since you posted this. This is the most recent murder in Oakland:

Police are using riot gear and non lethal weapons. They are doing this because the protest has become a riot.

The police have shown up to peaceful protests in their riot gears randomly attacking civilians and INCITING violence. Their one job is to literally de-escalate the situation. Were the people standing on their own front porches rioting? Are the press that are there DOING THEIR JOB rioting? They are ANTAGONIZING a crowd that is already angry and then flip the story. Remind me again why these protestors are there to begin with? Oh right, say it with me: POLICE START RIOTS.

No, evil people with Molotov cocktails start riots.

Their one job is to literally de-escalate the situation.

Their one job is to restore order, using the least aggressive means necessary to achieve that end.

If that can be done with a friendly word, they should use a friendly word. If that requires something stronger, they should use something stronger.

They are trained to use lethal force if their is an imminent threat to their lives or the lives of others. As a veteran, I can tell you the same rules of engagement apply. Even Jesus told his disciples to sell their belongings and buy swords to protect themselves. All loss of life is a tragedy. But it would be foolish to expect a police officer, or anyone else, to wave their right to use lethal force in self defense.

Unless you have first hand knowledge of how police act in these situations, I wouldn’t be so confident. I’ve attended countless peaceful protests where the cops showed up in riot gear and escalated the conflict.

The problem is too many times there is NO IMMINENT THREAT and it is NOT legitimate self defense. In case you have not noticed police brutality is a national crisis right now. In America cops kill more people in a single DAY than other countries do in a YEAR. They are trained to have a superiority complex and think they are allowed to bully civilians. The disciples were not police officers they were REGULAR PEOPLE who wanted to protect themselves while Roman regime was slaughtering Christians on the streets. Buying swords is exactly what people are starting to do.
