(53,162 posts)On July 8 of this year, one Jeanetta Riley of Sandpoint, Idaho, a white woman, was ten feet away from three police officers and was holding a fillet knife. They told her to drop it, she refused and began moving toward the cops...two of the cops shot her to death.
Cops read newspapers too. (You need something to read while sucking down those donuts, right?) They know today's impressionable youth has no problem with killing people. It's not the video games, RWers: kids have always wanted to kill other kids, blow up their schools etc., but in the dark days before you assholes thought you needed to own enough guns to arm an infantry company just in case the Democrats decide to take them away, they had no way to carry out their idle threats and now they do.
I truly believe, based on the hard evidence the cops figure as long as they're going to end up using maximum force anyway they may as well start there, that if this kid was white the cops would have blown his shit away the second he reached for his popgun and they wouldn't have a second's remorse.
