Latest police killing in the US

[TeenValiant]

So far this year, 43 law US enforcement officers have been shot dead in the line of duty. Where is the outcry on their behalf?

 

Well that's sort of a risk involved in their job. A bit like soldiers. If guns are that much of a problem you could always ban them

If he hadn't broke the law in the first place he wouldn't have been arrested. He also refused to be arrested

The FBI homicide stats from 2013 show that there were 2,491 blacks murdered. Of those, 2,245 were murdered by members of their own ethnic group.

 

That is the real shame.

You are closer to the action over there Tone,what in your opinion needs to be done to improve relations between the police and the public?

Maybe the rise of sports in the US is also to do with their desire to be their own nation..to create/find their own identity.

 

Psycho babble. He must get these out of the cheapest fortune cookies.

827 people have died during or following police contact since 2004. ?

 

Deaths in police custody since 1998: 333; ...... officers convicted: none ?

 

 

anyone who dies following restraint without being formally arrested is excluded from death in custody figures. ???

They aren't accountable though in the slightest, there is clearly a proportion that are just legalised thugs and killers.

 

How on earth this guy hasn't faced charges for what was an illegal action is rediculous and will only create more animosity towards the police.

The figures I quoted are for the UK.... and if you die before you are charged it isnt classed as police custody

Hello again......that all you've got ;) And I only buy the most expensive fortune cookies ;)

 

Next time do some research before making comments 'cos you just make yourself look foolish...here is just one article I found after about 30 seconds of searching (between skives obvioulsy)

 

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=oxNtf_9o818C&pg=PA65&lpg=PA65&dq=how+america+defines+itself+through+sport&source=bl&ots=kxX0bWKTkH&sig=_f3tQoK2ukJUcBQg_zFm1EihO1E&hl=en&sa=X&ei=EVWFVP_eB4P4UNWVgMgP&ved=0CCoQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=how%20america%20defines%20itself%20through%20sport&f=false

 

Not getting the link between cultural identity and sport demonstrates breathtaking ignorance..well maybe not breathtaking ;)

[JOHNNYAITCH]

If it's decided that there is no charge to answer then it's the process itself that needs to be looked at thoroughly if trust is to be maintained or won back..I don't know if he should be charged or not but to some this seems to conform to a pattern..the US has to address this to either prove that there is something going on that needs fixing or to clearly explain why no charges were brought and that this at least is not part of a pattern

 

As said in the last fortune cookie that I opened...Confucius he say "without the trust of its people the police in a free society cannot do their job properly"

This just shows how stupid Americans are , they want police dealt with for shooting people who appear dangerous. Then go and kill two of them, it more or less justifies why the police acted on their shoot first think later attitude when their lives are in the line because of morons like this.
