All Rightey..
I sat up last night watching the events in Dallas unfold. That scene is about 4 miles from the neighborhood I grew up in, at least the early years so I know it well. What happened there was complete bullshit committed by yet another nuthatch with access to weapons. I don't know where he got them, but apparently he has a documented history of mental health issues.
This Mark Hughes character is an idiot, who in the blue fuck walks down the street with an AR on a sling right in the middle of a "Peaceful Protest"? Yes I know its his right, but just because you can does not mean you should, at some point common sense Should kick in. So he does something colossally stupid, gets his pic on the news and now wants an apology? Seriously? I am glad he did not get shot, and at least he had the good sense to get with the popo and get straight before it got completely stupid. Now he needs to go home, pray to jesus and thank him that he is still alive today.
The guy that got killed in Wi, or MI, wherever, thats a shame. I think the cop was poorly trained and probably scared, maybe he is scared of blacks, I don't know, but hopefully he will be off the street and never carry a weapon again. I don't think he is an indication of some nation wide conspiracy to kill blacks though.
The asshole in Louisiana is another matter. He is a career long criminal, at least wannabe gang banger and general all around POS. He was threatening people on the street with a gun, the cops came, he Chose to fight rather than comply, continued to fight after he was pinned, had a gun in his pocket he was apparently trying to get to even after the cops had a weapon in his chest he kept fighting. WTF did he expect was going to happen?
I don't blame people for being pissed about the guy up north, fair enough. But to hitch your wagon to yet another michael brown or trayvon is just stupid. Its not a perfect world out there, there are a lot of assholes and thats who the police have to deal with day in day out. Some cops should be janitors, some should even be in jail.
I don't think all the stuff in here about Dallas should be in this thread, it diminishes the police involved and they did nothing to deserve that. I think they should have their own or in the Officer Down thread.
I have friends on the Dallas PD, they are all ok though.
RIP to the others
