(2,518 posts)Sorry, but you people who say this is a "good shoot" are fucking sickos, who've had your brains turned to mush by years of right-wing propaganda. Right here on this supposed left-leaning board, we've got "Good Nazis" who are perfectly willing to live in a police state where death is a perfectly acceptable method for solving problems. Yeah, I went all Godwin on your ass. I more disappointed with you than I am with the cops right now.
How hard could it be in situations like this to have tranquilizer guns in all police cars (and provide training on their use), and after surrounding a guy like this (who has obviously just committed a heinous crime and needs to be removed from society) and put a tranquilizer dart in his ass and wheel him unconscious to jail for the rest of his life? We do that with animals, but not with human beings? We aren't even willing to treat each other as well as we treat rabid dogs? Frankly, I'd rather see tranquilizer guns in all police cars than body cameras on all cops. In most of the situations we've seen lately of death-by-cop, a well placed dart could have solved the problem and saved lives.
No wonder this society is so fucked up. It's your fault, you fellow "liberals," who have fallen into this trap of being just fine with death being the problem-solving tool of first resort (and yelling at the guy 20 times to PUT THE KNIFE DOWN is not trying to solve the problem). "Good riddance" to you to when you fall down and snap (and you will) and the cops simply put a bullet in your ugly face rather than at least trying to subdue you by other means first.
Sheeeesh!
