He didn't even have a gun in the boat , Yet the police riddled the boat WITH GUNFIRE

168. So because they are police we should expect no responsibility from them?

We can't ask why they started shooting? We can't ask what they saw? All we can do is get down on our knees and worship these guardians of our safety. Guardians who risk their lives by facing down unknown dangers, with as much firepower as they can get their hands on?

When I was in High School, Police had a couple incidents where children were shot. Dark apartment, kid had a toy gun, looked real enough. When that was explained, what the officer saw, what he thought he saw, and why he reacted. We as a nation, agreed that such tragic accidents would happen, because the officer had to react.

In this case, we don't know what the officers saw. All we know was there was a lot of rounds fired, and now the suspect was not armed with a gun according to reports. If twenty rounds fired by the NYPD at a man holding his wallet in his hand was excessive, what should we think about boston where there are at least twenty bullet holes in the boat and now reports of no gun with the suspect.

Remember the questions I said we used to ask. What did you see? What was behind the suspect you were shooting at. We used to care what the officer saw, and what he was doing and why. Now we don't dare ask those questions, because now the Police are above reproach, and are capable of making no mistakes.

We have learned nothing from this incident, and we will be doomed because of that. The cops were scared, but they had guns, so they had to shoot.
