Two Cops Shot in Hattiesburg

To be clear, I'm not defending killing cops. It is pathetic and hopefully they get the life sentence.

But over 1100 people were killed by cops last year (that were reported). 100+ cops were killed.

Those numbers are off, folks. Why is it so hard to admit that?

How many of those cops were doing something illegal at the time they were killed?

How many civilians were doing something illegal at the time they were killed?

Doesn't justify their deaths but if the first illegal act doesn't happen the death doesn't happen.

I don't know - there's countless videos of cops shooting first, and asking questions (or planting evidence) later.

Imagine how much was not caught on video

It's not 'hard to admit' -- but it is certainly an embarassingly superficial take on a complicated and delicate issue.
 
It's incredible to me that as a society we are getting to the point where criminals are viewed in a better light than police officers.

But even if someone is doing something wrong - say smoking weed - I don't think that would constitute a legitimate death.

When I hear reports of police officers executing citizens in street for smoking marijuana I will absolutely join the underground resistance.

Until that time, I prefer to reside in the mental state of reality.

Well, we saw video recently of a cop shooting a guy several times for running away. Then tried to plant evidence on the guy. You say "HE WAS RUNNING AWAY!!! DON'T RUN - AND YOU DONT DIE!"

I'll fully admit I'm more concerned with the cop's actions than whatever the individual did that made him think he needed to run
 
You know somewhere Joseph Goebbels is looking up from the pits of hell and smiling, Pavlov too though I'm not as sure where he's looking from.

This appears to be the dumbest argument I've ever read.

Given that Goebbels was a fascist propagandist (and an excellent one at that) he's definitely not smiling at a society whose elements prefer to lay out police over criminals as a result of several well-publicized murders.

One of the cops was black. If this was 2 white cops this thread would be 30 pages longer.

I've never made this a race issue. You are either a civilized person or not. The fact that this cop was black should shed the race question. This is not a black and white issue. This is a deadbeat issue.
