Do you concede that it's a defensible viewpoint geek tragedy Feb 2013 #22
In general, sure, that is a legitimate use of force by police in the appropriate circumstances quinnox Feb 2013 #43
Just like those who disagree with you don't like being labeled bloodthirsty cowboys. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #51
I don't think the OP is about that. The OP is saying... then they come for you. robinlynne Feb 2013 #117

It is all the exact same topic Ohio Joe Feb 2013 #97
NOT "same topic", NOT same OP. FAIL. ~nt 99th_Monkey Feb 2013 #108
Sure it is, you are still pushing conspiracy and trying to make a murderer a hero Ohio Joe Feb 2013 #113

An investigation would be a waste of time magellan Feb 2013 #138
I have no problem with cops killing people like Dorner in situations like this. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #139

Trials are for people who are in custody. One does not conduct a trial for a gunman shooting geek tragedy Feb 2013 #59
Way to completely miss the point. Le Taz Hot Feb 2013 #68
