POLICE BRUTALITY CASES: WALTER SCOTT MURDER & MORE

[HairOfTheDog]

Easy there User. You're going to get HoTD whipped up into a froth again with that kind of talk.

There's no froth, Gunnar, but keep trying.

User expresses her opinion and makes her points.

I understand her point on this one -- NC police seem to be responding swiftly and appropriately to a wrongful death at the hands of one of their police officers.

I haven't had time to read the latest news yet, so I don't know if the protestors are protesting the shooting itself as opposed to the police handling of the matter. I could understand the former.
In any event, protests and demonstrations don't froth me up like they do you and some others -- that's just the way it is...

So... You believe the protestors should protest the way the police are appropriately handling the situation. Gotcha. Makes perfect sense.

I like you Gunnar. But, seriously, I posted a very clear comment this morning which answers your off-base rhetorical question. I can't make the point any clearer than I did, and you still couldn't grasp it or don't want to. I'm not gonna repeat it or highlight the post for you. Missing the point and seeing what you want to see is a pattern for you, from my observation.

Yesterday you whipped yourself into a froth with your first post in this thread. In so doing, it doesn't appear you even read the thread title and made the connection. So, your ranting reaction to a portion of my response to it was amusing to me, albeit misdirected.

Anyway, I can't make you read or comprehend and I'm not interested in changing your views, just expressing mine. So, we can leave it at that.

Yeah, your post I quoted wasn't contradictory at all. It's all on me. Clearly.

Really Gunnar? That's just plain sad.

From here on out, you're on your own. This is your one free remedial comprehension lesson from me.

A.The fact that a cop shot an unarmed community member in the back 5 times (possibly within a system that enabled the cop to think he could lie and get away with it) is one thing. People might protest that shooting. <-- That would be protesting brutality and murder by a public servant and/or public service organization whose purpose is supposed to be to serve and protect the community.

B. How the leaders in charge of the city and/or the police force respond to the case of police brutality and murder-by-cop is a separate but related issue. If people were unsatisfied with the leaders' response, they might protest against those leaders and their response.

So you see, Grasshopper, even if a person is satisfied with leadership's response to the murder (B), he or she might well be compelled to protest the murder itself (A).
