So, killing an unarmed woman is showing restraint!!! ... I would suggest that you are having a bad day posting and I will just let that goB.See » 02 Sep 2022, 11:04 pm » wrote: ↑ Don't try to put words in my mouth.
I'm saying that given the circumstances I've already described, that have since been revealed, and that are quite apparent in VIDEO EVIDENCE, the officer's actions were warranted. In fact I'd go so far as to say they showed great restraint. More than I believe they WOULD have had that been BLM (for example) breaching the Capitol and storming the halls looking to fkng HANG THE VICE PRESIDENT.
I know that, and so do you.
Again you are attempting to twist my words and mischaracterize my points. And I don't appreciate it.NEILCAR » 03 Sep 2022, 4:13 am » wrote: ↑ So, killing an unarmed woman is showing restraint!!! ... I would suggest that you are having a bad day posting and I will just let that go
At the end of the day, when everyone went home ... No one was hanged
The thing about "intent" is you have to be in someone's head to actually know. Should you put the accused on the stand and ask them "Did you intend to hang someone?" If they say "no, we were just fooling around" .. you just lost. You can not prove "intent"

I've already pointed out, in several responses, that the FACTS and ACTIONS of the rioters that day, including breaching by force the Capitol, and roaming halls and corridors chanting to hang the Vice President,
as well as other actions WELL DOCUMENTED, were sufficient enough to have caused lawmakers and those whose duty it was to protect THEM, to fear for their lives - even prompting goodbye calls to loved ones.
I've referenced what was occurring when the rabid mob was at the doors trying to BREAK THROUGH when one of their number was shot.
Frankly given all the above I think it commendable of the vastly outnumber Capitol officers that they HADN'T responded with MORE force. THAT'S the restraint I speak of, champ.
So maybe YOU'RE having a bad day since you seem to be unable (or perhaps UNWILLING) to get the point.
And, like I said, we BOTH know it would've been a completely different scenario had that been BLM instead of organized, right winged terrorists who Trump on national TV told to "stand back and stand by."
Not that they'd have been able to get anywhere NEAR the Capitol if the situation were REVERSED.
The unarmed woman was among a packed rabid crowd of rioters who'd just built gallows, beat Capitol police, scaled walls, busted through doors and windows of the nation's Capitol and was in the process of trying to bust down closed doors while storming through hallways looking to hang the Vice President.NEILCAR » 03 Sep 2022, 8:57 am » wrote: ↑ I am not the one trying to justify killing a unarmed woman...

NONE of which YOU think should've caused law enforcement on the other side of those doors to FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES, apparently.
But a lone unarmed Black man running AWAY after a traffic stop for a broken tail-light, sure, let's shoot THAT mfkr.
No one was hanged because they couldn't find the man they wanted to hang. The sought him out, chanted Hang Mike Pence and did so with Trump's blessing.NEILCAR » 04 Sep 2022, 8:56 am » wrote: ↑ I am on record as wanting the demonstrators to be fully prosecuted fully (destruction of public property, illegal demonstration, trespassing, but not insurrection).
No one was hanged.
An unarmed woman was shot dead.
It is true that the dem party was for defunding the police.
I have never stated I was for police who kill people for no reason. (Black or otherwise).
I would suggest it is you who are putting words in my mouth.
The actual charge would be "seditious conspiracy" and is almost impossible to prove. Which is the main reason hilary is walking around. lolB.See » 06 Sep 2022, 5:35 am » wrote: ↑ No one was hanged because they couldn't find the man they wanted to hang.

I would suggest it is YOU who are trying to minimize what Trump and his INSURRECTIONISTS tried to do that day. They weren't just peaceful demonstrators. They showed up, for a WELL PLANNED ORGANIZED INSURRECTION - on THAT PARTICULAR DAY, on the basis of a fkng LIE, and for the purpose of stopping the LAWFUL CERTIFICATION OF THE PRESIDENT ELECT BY WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
The left isn't entirely comprised of progressives. And it wasn't Democrats beating Capitol police on January 6 nor is it Democrats who are threatening law enforcement and advocating removals, executions, and hangings of the FBI.NEILCAR » 06 Sep 2022, 7:44 am » wrote: ↑ The actual charge would be "seditious conspiracy" and is almost impossible to prove.

The progressive left has been yelling defund the police to anyone who will listen. Dem mayors across the Nation have been doing the same and actually doing the defunding. Biden (on several occasions) have stood with the "defund the police" movement and stated that they are doing a great job. Heck the Dem platform has written in its language targeting police for change.
,,, Bernie Saunders, Kamala, AOC, Kristene Gillibrand, Maxine Waters, Mazine Hiro, Barbara Lee ... the list goes on and on of dem supporting "defund the police".
No, we are looking at a dem party running away from an issue as fast as they can lol ...
well, the enrire dem party is running away from defund the police faster than a turkey on Thanksgiving. lol Kind of odd for a party you allege supported the police all of the time and never defunded it at all ... lolB.See » 06 Sep 2022, 7:57 am » wrote: ↑ The left isn't entirely comprised of progressives.

Funny how "blue lives" no longer matter when FASCISTS can't have it THEIR WAY.

Again you resort to a disingenuous attempt to twist and distort what I've said. I SAID NOT EVERY DEMOCRAT SUPPORTED THE NOTION OF DEFUNDING THE POLICE. That's not a "rewrite" champ. That's a FACT.NEILCAR » 06 Sep 2022, 10:07 am » wrote: ↑ well, the enrire dem party is running away from defund the police faster than a turkey on Thanksgiving. lol Kind of odd for a party you allege supported the police all of the time and never defunded it at all ... lol
... One might suggest you are re-writing history.
I can't speak the entire GOP, but most of us have always stood for law and order, that issue has never been in doubt.
