    Why Is There No Outrage About This Police Shooting?

    See? I can't have a conversation with you, because you don't understand the meanings of words or what you read. For one, you have no friggin' clue how grand juries work, which you've proven beyond all doubt, and reinforced it with with your comments here about how grand juries work. In both...

    The Daytona Tortugas

    Minor League (and Independent League) baseball is actually a lot of fun, and it's much closer to "pure" baseball, especially at the Class A and AA level, than is Major League baseball. They don't call MLB "The Show" for nothing. I see a lot of Minor League baseball every year, because we end...

    Why Is There No Outrage About This Police Shooting?

    I didn't introduce it, and yes he did. But here we go again... you have your own definitions of words, and you don't understand what you read. You read things that aren't even there, because you want them to be there, and you change the context of what's there to suit your needs. The only thing...

    Why Is There No Outrage About This Police Shooting?

    You put "Grand Jury testimony and evidence" inside parentheses almost as if you think that's what "narrative' means. Lol

    Why Is There No Outrage About This Police Shooting?

    Wilson's own narrative on the night of the incident was multiple lacerations (those are cuts and gashes), multiple contusions, massive swelling with one eye swollen shut with a possible orbital socket fracture, all of which would show up in a picture taken moments after the incident, and...

    Why Is There No Outrage About This Police Shooting?

    Why does it blow his credibility? Everything stated in the paragraph is factually accurate. Stating something factually inaccurate would blow his credibility, you simply not agreeing with how he stated the facts does not. Obvious to whom? Certainly not to anyone who has read the entire article...

    It's not going to stop

    I'm not saying that at all. Not even close to that. Right. Two separate issues. Being in possession of an illegal substance caused you to lose your privilege. That in turn caused you to be charged with carrying without a permit. The gun itself would still be a legal, registered firearm, tho.

    It's not going to stop

    Sure, it's possible. But, there are people who will read this thread and be convinced that, as the police spokesman in Phoenix said, the officer was doing exactly what he was supposed to do, and when they read the comments of sanity and common sense here they will just be spittin' bubbles mad...

    The police didn't even know it was a pill bottle. It was a gun. So they killed him.

    HHS scandal.. criminal alien children

    It's hardly news that HHS has been contracting out the housing and care of these kids. Nor is it news how much they pay per child for it. The amount of money paid per child is ridiculous, though, but has been from the very beginning.

    It's not going to stop

    It'll certainly add to the charges, not unlike the difference between "robbery" and "armed robbery" or simple "assault" versus "assault with a deadly weapon." There may be "illegal possession of a controlled substance while in possession of a firearm," but the firearm itself is either legal or...

    It's not going to stop

    A legal firearm is a legal firearm. The presence of an illegal substance, or even committing a crime with the firearm, doesn't instantly render the firearm illegal. If you rob a bank with a shotgun, you'll be charged with robbing a bank, but you won't be charged with possession of an illegal...

    That was awesome. Who was that masked man? :D

    It's not going to stop

    Does it really matter? They didn't know about the firearm when they shot him, and he wasn't anywhere near the SUV, he was at his apartment door. Does it really matter? They certainly didn't look at the bottle close enough to know one way or the other before they shot him. They only looked at it...

    What if a driver is temporarily unfit to drive?

    Well, the regs state that a carrier cannot knowingly allow a driver who is not physically qualified to drive a CMV, which also covers impairment of any kind, be it physical, mental, drugs or alcohol, temporary or permanent. Among many things, many things, a driver is not qualified to drive if he...

    It's not going to stop

    "I feared for my life" is the Don't Even Get Charged With Anything and Never Go To Jail Free card. The police aren't stupid, they know what to say. They're professionals at this. They do it for a living.

    Why Is There No Outrage About This Police Shooting?

    And, just a couple of days ago a black man was killed by Phoenix police because he was carrying a prescription medication bottle, the size of a roll of quarters, that looked exactly like a gun.

    What if a driver is temporarily unfit to drive?

    What you've described is something out of Minority Report, Future Crimes Unit.

    Why Is There No Outrage About This Police Shooting?

    But what we are not sickened by, for some bizarre reason, is the police felt that it was vital, critical and imperative that they bring that man down to the ground, prone and submissively helpless, despite the fact that his resistance was non-violent and non-threatening. But, hey, dood was...

    Why Is There No Outrage About This Police Shooting?

    I know you say that with a hint of sardonic derision, but yeah, kinda, pretty much. What other avenues of recourse do they have left open to them? Everything the police does, the police say is justified. There's a shocker. The police even create policies and procedures that allow them to justify...
