Shooting and protests in Ferguson, Missouri

[Jeade]

How can you tell they are intending to shoot you with your own weapon? Was the guy that got shot even trying to disarm the cop?

Mike Brown actually had the police officer's gun in his hand and turned it into the side of the officer before the officer was able to wrestle it away from him, resulting in a single shot fired inside the cruiser.
What the police officer has in his head after having his skull fractured is: "If this guy, twice my size, knocks me out, he can take my own gun -again- and kill me with it."

Tasers and Mace are not magic bullets either, and generally very ineffective against someone who's being aggressive. If someone is already on your skin, you're probably just going to piss him off more by trying to spray him, provided you'll even hit.

Exactly.
Particularly if you miss the taser shot or it doesn't connect right. He'd have to drop the taser, then go for his gun.
21 (maybe 25, can't remember) feet is considered a very dangerous zone when someone is charging you down because they'll be at your throat in a mere moment.

On top of that, police in the US aren't allowed to carry both mace and tasers as mace can be flammable.
I remember one case where an officer used both.
The current from the taser lit the mace and the guy went up in flames.

Edit: AntiBlitz called me out.
They can carry both but not use mace before the taser.
Seems like an unnatural progression, taser then mace, but it's possible.

friend = problem.

A bullet, or 6 thats how to deal with the problems. Give that cop an award, and encourage others to do it.

Ban he. This is worse than Nanking

Except banning him from this forum doesn't change the way he perceives black people.

police in the US...

...rely too much on firearms. Policemen should be fit, physically imposing and capable human specimen, trained in martial arts and capable of dealing with unarmed average criminal.

Your government should set higher standards and pay policemen accordingly and this will happen a lot less. As long you have short, scrawny or obese armed policemen, paid by peanuts situations like this will pop from time to time. Ghetto kid who got shot was a criminal, but policeman acted in very unprofessional manner, compared to most policemen from EU countries. EU police doesn't shot unarmed people, not because they are hippies, they don't need to do so. They are buff, tall, physically and mentally strong warriors. What is funny, they are paid pretty much the same wages as your average fat american cop that gobbles donuts half of his shift. That is why USA government has to wage wars all over the world, to provide for huge majority of incompetent citizens who are used to living a good life but don't deserve a portion of it.

Mericans should visit major German cities more often, to see how regular folks, policemen and solders look like. They had transformed a lot, change life style on national level. In Düsseldorf, for example, you can't find a fat person on the streets, young or old.

There's a serious debate about giving the Kryptonians work visas for this.

Thanks, Eugenics.

Embarrassing how this is being handled, but this is just a symptom of many other underlying problems, namely a toxic subculture and economic segregation.

I personally have a distaste for turning every incident into a Civil Rights holy war since the actual problems are much more complex.

Do they teach proper merican history in public schools, how European settlers ate the less fortunate of their own kin during harsh winters, to survive? Evolution 101, right 'dere.

First thing Jebediah who lived 200 years ago, would do after seeing fat slob like Smoothrich, is to decide should he kick him off the cliff or feed his family. Solely depends of weather conditions.

So what did you guys put other guys in ovens for?

[GOBBLINKINGREATLEADER]

i mean we all know its a problem with culture, simple as that

its just a culture struggle

black people in ferguson live 10 minutes away from me and we're both americans since birth but if you examine random black guy #10 from ferguson and me from the standpoint of cultural anthropology you will see that we have fundamentally different perspectives of our worlds, our language differs from each other, we have different mating expectations, and we both might subscribe to social groups that the other one would be baffled by (crips/bloods/any other gang or drug sales culture vs. cRPG online community rofl)

its just a culture struggle with this self-demeaning black ghetto culture

disregard

[Prpavi]

I live in the EU and our cops aren't fit fighting machines but corrupt lazy fucks, not every coutry in Europe is Germany and I also doubt it's all gravy there as you make it to be.
