    Antifa is celebrating last nights murder of a Trump supporter. So it goes both ways.

    I just mean the hyper left always speaks as if they alone have authority in moments like this. The last few election cycles have mostly repudiated the extreme policies and knee jerk emotionalism of the base but they cont to behave as if they’re winning the argument. That’s mostly an aside about the mechanics of outrage

    They don't s---t them in a leg since femoral artery runs there and it will result with a suspect just bleeding out to death.

    Washington state doesn't have party registration as part of voter registration so I couldn't have been registered as anything until I officially established residency in Georgia last fall (and I've been a registered democrat ever since thank u very much)!!!

    I'm not sure if that's confirmed. He did admit he was reaching for a knife though. Of course they left out the facts, they know what they're doing. Its just a shame people fall for it.

    My court-appointed lawyer for the disorderly conduct I got in college was very good. He got it taken down to a noise infraction. I also got some good advice from a juggalo I met in the waiting area because he had a lot of experience in court.

    My speeding ticket was bs I got it right before you cross the bridge in portland into washington so the speed limit was 55 :emoji_weary:

    Source? If true & he admitted, it’s game over in the eyes of the law tbh. Threatening with deadly force will always result in a warranted shooting.


    Interesting point. Back + 7 times likely isn’t in the training either, but best guess is you’re correct in that they’re trained to drop someone with hopes it actually won’t hit a vital organ instead of partially wounding where they’re sill capable of brandishing a firearm or weapon and then slowly breeding out.

    Yeah, they are trained to s---t center mass of the target and people can still stand after getting hit by multiple shots. So I will say time and time again cooperate and you mostl likely won't be shot. Why pushing your luck?

    He gave a bad oversimplified strawman argument hence why @cpt awesome WPG joint acc didn’t like the post even though we don’t see completely eye-to-eye on this either.

    it’s also totally a red herring. No where did I say “no one cares if a cop gets shot.” That literally had nothing to do with my point. This might be shocking to Michael but...police officers have to put themselves in dangerous situations at times & risk their lives. It’s part of their job. Unfortunately, that means some police officers will die in the line of duty. There’s no avoiding that. If we want to 100% ensure police safety, we’d have to either a) completely remove police from the streets or b) give police officers total discretion when to use lethal force (essentially fascism).

    I agree, but no one says that:
    So you kinda do the same thing you accuse @Michael Myers of. We only said cops have the right to defend themselves in situations, when their life is threatened.

    I agree but their primarily goal in a potentially dangerous situation is not “I have to protect myself.” Their primary goal is de-escalation & conflict management. Police officers don’t get to be selfish. They are serving the community & therefore are obligated to put themselves out there to try to resolve/prevent conflict in a nonviolent/nonlethal manner if possible.

    What I’m emphasizing is while police can defend themselves, there’s also an appropriate escalation of force that is not practiced in the states. Police are literally trained to s---t to k--- meaning if they fire their firearm, they continue to s---t until the suspect is assumed dead. That is barbaric & inexcusable.

    ^ @wpg’s silly distractions and diversions aside, let’s not lose focus on the fact biden continues to forcefully push trump back on his heels. Today’s speech was yet another example of this campaign taking the fight stealthily to the president and not ceding any ground

    Remember when everyone itt thought biden was sundowning :emoji_upside_down:
