Black teen killed by police in Roanoke. Carrying a BB pistol

Also had headphones on, and a bandana which may or may not have been partially over his face. Was waiving the broken bb pistol at cars. Didn't follow police orders to drop the pistol- maybe he didn't hear them due to loud music on his headphones. Wow, what a sad story. http://www.roanoke.com/news/crime/roanoke_county/friend-says-he-gave-bb-gun-to-roanoke-county-shooting/article_16c340f0-7419-5f1c-ac1c-513867bdba74.html

You know the answer to this but I will spell it out for you.

1.) Nobody is fine with it but many consider a threat from an object that looks just like a pistol to be just cause for the use of lethal force. Do you propose that when a gun is pulled on a cop that the cop ask to examine the gun to make sure that it is indeed real, loaded and operational before he or she defends himself or herself or others?

2.). I know of no place where it is legal to carry a weapon openly in an airport but if that is the law in a location then I guess the authorities have to go with it. Does this happen? Also, very few gun owners actually have assault weapons which are capable of select fire or full auto. If you do not like the laws change them.

Now a question for you. The cop in Ferguson shot Michael Brown and killed him. Obama et al used this as a rallying cry against police brutality towards innocent black males. Obama and Holder investigated to the nth degree and found the cop innocent. They had every incentive to find the cop guilty and hang in in the public square and they had the full power of the Federal government to get this done. They found him innocent. Why are we still discussing this case? Why do Democrat politicians discuss this case when their executive branch found the officer innocent? Why never any mention of the proportion of bad police work versus the extreme violence present in "the community" carried out by members of "the community"? WHy do your beloved Democrat politicians never denounce gang-bangers and drug dealers who fill the morgues and emergency rooms every weekend? Why no mention of racist gun control laws in places like Chicago that do not work and leave innocent minority citizens cowering in their dwellings while gangs rule the streets?

You know, I generally think police over step their bounds

I think you're onto something, in that they may be up to no

No, I agree that we definitely don't want that

Yeah it also seems like really bad luck/stupidity mixed.

This time I am going to side with the officers so it will

The same reason a subset of people

You don't see how a mistake could be made in this instance?***

I like to positively identify the diameter of the barrel of

To be fair, if you are firing back, you should have an idea

Nope. You point a gun at me, I'm going to try to kill you.***

That is fine, just don't call it shooting

I'm having a hard time following your logic here, aero.

Look man, you are the one who said fire back.

So, they should wait to be fired upon?***

Or accurately measure the barrel diameter, yes

Are you retarded? You are the one that spoke of

Okay Biff.***

It is true.***

It's certainly better to be safe than sorry

Re: I like to positively identify the diameter of the barrel of

Honestly, why aren't the cops pounding folks with

They should just shoot for the knees or arms.

Spraying the area a suspect occupies indiscriminately with

I think they should just hit them with hockey sticks

A hockey stick shot out of a cannon of some sort?***

I think we can rig a table saw to do what we need

What about a cannon that would shoot smaller cannons, that

Wouldn't this fall under the cluster bomb category?

I'm pretty sure we invaded Geneva when Reagan was pres.

Re: NOW WE'RE FINALLY GETTING TO REAL SOLUTIONS.***

No, that'd be too violent

I'd suggest we use something from a minority sport like

Croquet balls.***

Lacrosse balls are another good option

Whoa, whoa, WHOA.

HOLD UP

OMG can you even read?!?

Whoa now.
