Audioblysk Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 but if there were more guns... All joking aside, those poor people and their families... There has to be some justice in either of these trials. It's crazy that we're so desensitized that videos of two men taking their dying breaths are all over social media to lend credence to the (somehow ignored ) fact that LOTS OF BLACK PEOPLE ARE KILLED BY POLICE FOR LITTLE TO NO REASON AND IT'S ACTUALLY A PROBLEM. Probably gonna have nothing come of it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxien Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Well, this is just going to make things worse now isn't it? It's already worse. Depending on who the shooters are and what they have to say is what I think could really incite some people. Right now most reasonable Americans/humans are just in shock that police officers are being assassinated from rooftops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for your town specifically of course, but just in general, I feel all this shit bubbling up in little pops, I feel like it just needs to all get pushed out into the open, just to get it over with. I really think the big confrontations are the only way things will change for the better, all this little shit for decades has done next to nothing to force America to confront and resolve its true issues. And no, I'm surely not advocating for a race/civil war, any violence, or anything. I just don't see that anything else other than violence ever changing things; and honestly, even the violence hasn't done much for us so far, so really I'm not things will ever change. This shit is numbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audioblysk Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Is this just going to keep getting worse? It seems the toll of police killings and mass shootings just keeps going up... Side Note : My GF and I are half-seriously scouting out Munich for relocating. She's a citizen, speaks fluently and has a transferable degree - all I need is skills besides growing weed and cooking... It'd be nice to leave the USA and feel a little safer/not deal with the drama. StephenG - work on getting us citizenship and I'll head north. I don't know what I'd do for work, but being a Canadian would be an honor. Leave this place and never look back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Colombia is totally the place to move to if you don't want to get randomly murdered.

Hugh Mughnus Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 In some circles these cop killers will probably be regarded as heroes taking the most extreme action to facilitate (much needed tbh) change. Scares me that there will likely be copycats... Dallas PD is tweeting a photo a dude enjoying his open carry rights.

DPD claiming he's a person of interest even though he's seen on video when the shooting starts. Man is about to get lynched. I saw that photo but I didn't see that he was on video (I'm assuming, not shooting his gun) when the shots were first heard. Is that normal practice these days, just post out photos of people you have a feeling might be involved in crimes? I'm not talking about gas station footage of a robbery where they screen cap the perp's face, I'm talking minimal evidence (as it seems to the general public) situations like this.

Hugh Mughnus Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 He may be innocent, may have just turned himself in so he doesn't get blasted. We will have to see I suppose.

I'd agree it's not unfair to be interested in him given the situation, but for the officials to post out that photo implying he could be a suspect in the shooting with essentially no evidence while quite literally still in the midst of the event happening, it seems dangerous to that (now shown to be innocent) man. Very reckless of the DPD imo. edit: and yes, obviously I'm sure the DPD as a whole was in shock and trying to prevent more deaths/etc., but this move still seems dangerous.

Hugh Mughnus Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Actually yeah, now that you put it that way, you're right. Some trigger happy officer or even civilian could take it upon their own hands to deal "justice" in their eyes. But maybe DPD have very few leads (or maybe even had other intelligence we don't know about to suggest that guy is a legit suspect) and weighing the safety of more officers + civilians they decided it was the right choice. Heavy stuff really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Mughnus Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Oh ffs, great. That's exactly what we need, a violent "anti black lives matter" figurehead like Joe Walsh. Edit: sorry, not that he's proven to be violent or anything. Just saying comments like that are just going to perpetuate violence on both sides of the fence. ffs. (That's what I meant when I said this is going to make stuff worse, earlier. People like Joe Walsh are going to come out of the woodwork.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
