Lol a guy pointing a gun at a police officer or someone else and a cop shooting that person before that person has a chance to fire absolutely is valid.

If a police officer approached my car pointing a gun at me, would you think it valid that I defend myself? Or do you think this only applies in reverse


No, he probably thinks that cops have free reign on executing people.


Of couse it only applies in reverse. Society has granted cops authority to act in defense for themselves and to protect others.

There's no logical reason for you to assume that a cop pointing a gun at you means he definitely intends to shoot you. Just that he is readying himself for the possibility of shooting you if he has to.

The reverse is not true. A person who points a gun at a cop gives a cop a fully logical reason to assume that they intend to shoot them.

This would be true in a just world, but this is not a just world. Cops kill over a thousand people a year, while the amount of cops people kill is less than a tenth of that. If someone points a gun at me, I am not going to take the risk

Lol, first attempt at making an analogy and failing miserably. Good try though with your utterly falacious comparison.

Explain how my analogy is a failure


Because knowing whether or not a soup is not supposed to have flys or fecal matter in it is a simple non-ambiguous issue. Knowing whether or not a police killing is justifiable is a complex issue that requires more than just a glance.

Sometimes it requires literal teams of higly knowlegeable expert investigators years of debate and inquiry to reach a consensus about a particular incident, if one can even be reached at all. It takes no actual training to identify instantly that a bowl of soup isn't supposed to have flys in it.

I don't think it takes that much to tell that killing someone is bad. That's something we teach children in elementary school


I think it takes a lot considering the entirety of society has granted law enforcement the right to kill people in justifiable manners. But keep pretending all cops who kill people are bad.

Not all of them. Just the ones who kill those that aren't trying to kill them. Self defense is valid. Preemptive killing is not.

Two elements are required for a school shooting to happen. Schools and guns. If republicans refuse to ban the latter, perhaps we can ban the former instead?

If the killing is determined to be justifiable, then there was no "good or bad." It's merely a question of whether proper protocol was followed or not, and without knowing relevant information from the incident, neither you or I can make that determination.

This entirely depends on if you agree with the protocol in place. I don't.


Once again, a person who has no training on the use of force continuum pretending to have an expert opinion on it.

Once again, I don't need training in something to know if something is horribly wrong.

If you were served a bowl of soup that smelled and tasted like fecal matter and had flies in it, would you claim that you're not a trained chef so you can't know the proper soup making protocol?

But in this instance you don't know that something was wrong at all, because you can't even watch the event. You have conflicting stories and nothing more to go on.

Killing people is bad. Not killing people is good. This guy got fired for not killing someone, while the cops who did kill him probably got paid vacations.

What more info could I possibly need?

I wanna be driving for as short a time as possible. If I leave 5 minutes earlier, I'll still be driving the same amount of time, just 5 minutes earlier.

if it means "Black Lives Also Matter", then why don't BLM supporters like it when white people respond "yeah, all lives matter", which is a validation of "Black Lives Also Matter" but not a validation of "Only Black Lives Matter"?


Because BLM supporters are selfish and spiteful.


Being against extra-judicial police shootings and killing as well as police brutality is selfish and spiteful?


When it happens to people of other races, but you only care when it happens to yours? Yeah.

If it ends up banning all police brutality and killings, does it matter the reason they were for it?

They have a good goal. That's what matters. They're not just going to ban police brutality against black people, it'll apply to everyone
