His girlfriend called a non-emergency number to try to get him into a hospital "Denise Way, Justin's mom, said that the detective relayed to her that 'they told Justin to drop the knife and he didn't—so they shot him because that's what we do.'” Not including all the other issues with the police, the day has come where a cop's first weapon is the gun, and not words. No negotiating, no waiting period for a response from a drunk depressed person, just killing people in their beds for having a really bad day. I truly hope that soon we seriously start to not tolerate this. We need cops that are able to think for themselves, not ones that use a defined criteria on when to kill someone.

His girlfriend called a non-emergency number to try to get him into a hospital I have reached the conclusion that the average IQ of cops in the US is about 70, which means many are dumber than that. The FBI types, the cream of the crop in "Cop World", maybe - though unlikely - get up to an IQ of 90 (BATF cops, Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms cops - ala Waco assault, are down in the 70 range with local cops since they are too dumb to be able to get into the FBI). I thought that it was just a local deal when the dumber kids in my high school, who were bullies too boot, went into law enforcement ... now I KNOW that it extends to the entire US Law Enforcement (including the "scientists ... sheesh look at how the FBI lab has had to admit just "making up" results over a couple of decades in order to convict people!! ... same thing happened with our state crime lab about a decade ago). In the US Law Enforcement is NOT your friend!! They are Army Ranger and Navy Seal wannabies who were too dumb to actually be admitted into ANY program in the military that required intelligent people. |

His girlfriend called a non-emergency number to try to get him into a hospital If the man was only a threat to himself why didn't the family just step in and take the knife from him?? It sucks that he was shot and killed but the police were called for a reason. The girlfriend calling the non emergency number has no bearing. A non-emergency call doesn't mean the cops can go into a situation expecting a fun party atmosphere. That being said the accusation of the cops killing him while laying in bed should be looked into. |

I truly hope that soon we seriously start to not tolerate this. We need cops that are able to think for themselves, not ones that use a defined criteria on when to kill someone. Exactly! I think that day has arrived. The problem is, .gov has it set up so it divides racial lines and that's totally planned. TPTB realize that playing on race is a very quick and easy method of dividing a population. You can see it on this board daily. And I wonder too if some of the racist posters on here aren't being paid to do so to cement those racial lines. It seems most of us here aren't fine with out of control cops as witnessed by the Texas biker gangs, yet let it be about Baltimore and suddenly people are fine as long as it's against "din't do nuffins" in their words. And that's all totally be design by .gov sadly enough. The racial tards side with moar police and out of control police methods because their hate over rides their logic. They don't seem to realize and to paraphrase that old adage "first they came for the blacks, but I wasn't black...". Sooner or later a Police State blossoms to include ALL groups in it's tyranny. It's funny how in our Pedge of Allegiance, it says "with Liberty and Justice for ALL". Not just whites/blacks/Hispanic/Asian/whatever. But ALL. Instead of siding with whatever skin color we're born with, we should all be united against an overreaching and complete Police State free of the legal restraints they should abide with. Make sense? |
