Why are you liberals always leaving out the details?

The officer received a call about an ARMED suicidal man. The officer encountered this black social worker who had been chasing the autistic kid who had run away from home. The officer thought he saw the autistic kid reach for a gun and aim it at the social worker. The officer aimed to shoot the autistic kid, who he believed to be armed (because of the call about an ARMED SUICIDAL man), in order to protect the black man. He shot, but missed and hit the social worker instead. Both men lived. The police department and the social worker settled for an undisclosed amount of money. The police officer was fired from his job and served 6 months probation.

It's a shame that such a terrible mistake was made, but it's also easy to see how it was made. This narrative you liberals keep trying to spin where cops murder unarmed black men for no reason falls apart EVERY TIME. Stop doing it. Stop lying. If you posted something like this with the correct details, maybe you could spawn an intelligent discussion about police training and actions. Instead, you purposefully mislead people by leaving out details to spin your fake narrative EVERY TIME, and it falls apart EVERY TIME, and you end up embarrassing yourselves and getting facts rub in your face and getting called a liar. People are sick of your shit. Stop being dishonest.

WOW! I haven't seen such a good debunking in a long time, especially not of something I actually agreed with before seeing the response. Do you have a source I can link about this?

[–]noice 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Agreed. I didn't know much about this case but that's really important info

[–]asterias 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

The officer received a call about an ARMED suicidal man.

Which means that someone was such a dick as to call the police claiming he saw an ARMED man. There are neighbors who are up to no good and just look for an opportunity for such a move.

[–]jet199 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Or people can just mis-see things, happens all the time.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Normally 911 should ask what kind of weapon the person is carrying. "A toy truck! SHOOT NOW BEFORE..."

[–]superjesus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

If I took a really wild guess I'd say the person who called 911 couldn't tell

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Then it's not a call about an ARMED person. It's a call about a sucidal person with AN UNKNOWN OBJECT IN THEIR HAND. Some people even carry smartphones in their hands. This is a crazy world, you know.

If it gets interpreted as "armed" then that's the cop's fault. They should know better.

[–]superjesus 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

We don't even know if the call was about the autistic man or not. For all we know, some suicidal armed man could've been running around and sobered up and changed his mind while this whole thing was going on.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes, which speaks even more to my point: "unidentifiable individual with unknown object, possibly a weapon" duh. At this point it's just a thug wanting to shoot his gun at somebody. I saw a freaking leprechaun with a bazooka and he looked sad, so he must be suicidal. You know?

[–]superjesus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Not just an armed man. And ARMED SUICIDAL man. Quit leaving out words. The police received a call that there was an ARMED SUICIDAL man. Stop trying to make it sound like the police were called on the black man. They were called on the autistic man. The one running away from home with 'something' in his hands. Stop. Go away. Relearn your entire life. I don't care. Just stop talking to people who are actually trying to figure out what was going on.

[–]AmJesus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

You are lying too. Firstly,tge officer had very bad record in dealing with black people(Why did you omit tgat?) So,he could intentiinally aim at the black guy.

Anyway,just trust anyone withoutvsearching or be treated as idiots.

Learn English you non American fuck. You have to live here for your opinion on our politics to be valid. Get your low-level-English shit opinion back to whatever country it came from.

Who says they live in the USA? Have you heard that... and I hear it's true... OTHER PLACES ALSO HAVE THE INTERNET. And they can even talk to people from murrikkka.

[–]superjesus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Yeah no shit. I'm saying people who aren't from USA need to shut up about what's going on in USA because they don't live here. He commented on a thread about USA. I replied from USA.
You know exactly what I was saying and exactly why I was saying it. Stop trying to make me sound like the straw man you're building. You're as dishonest as the rest of them.
From my previous comment:

You have to live here...

I already implied that I knew they weren't from here.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

This is where you are wrong. A lot of people outside the USA know more about what happens in your country than the average American.

Moreover, their NOT living in said country gives them a more objective point of view on the whole mess. As such, you should consider their opinions as having MORE value than that of the average (terribly uninformed) American.

Either way, there is no such thing as living "here" because "here" is CYBERSPACE. Yes, this is a website. It exists in cyberspace, not in any geographically delimited area. This is a website for discussing ideas. As such, he's every bit as allowed to chime in as you are. Nobody cares who you are either.

And if you want a US NEWS sub for just AMERICANS, you should probably create "s/American_News_for_americans_only"

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

And the 911 people don't ask "what kind of a firearm is it?" to ensure they aren't getting trolled? That is some deep retard shit.

[–]superjesus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

"The 911 people" probably did ask. Maybe "the 911 caller people" couldn't tell, because the autistic man was literally running. Maybe "the 911 caller person guy" was calling from inside his "inside home place."
And there you go using the word 'retard' while defending an autistic man and a person who works with autistic people. Ma'am you r smug and rude.

(the word is dispatcher)

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Ah, yes, dispatcher. Thanks.

So the 911 phone people relayed "the man is definitely armed but the caller can't tell what KIND of weapon it is." Got it. Very clever, insightful and interesting.

[–]magnora7 14 insightful - 5 fun14 insightful - 4 fun15 insightful - 5 fun -  (47 children)

US police kill about 900 Americans every year. About 50% are white.

In Germany, police kill 0.5 people per year on average. In the UK they kill 1.3 a year on average. We have a police violence problem, and that comes back to a lack of accountability for wrongdoing, because our justice system gives police special treatment.

[–]Druullus 10 insightful - 3 fun10 insightful - 2 fun11 insightful - 3 fun -  (21 children)

...or people are allowed to defend themselves?

[–]Firstbrickwall 13 insightful - 3 fun13 insightful - 2 fun14 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Finally someone speaking the truth. Most people whining about police violence have never been in a situation where they’re facing a criminal or someone so unhinged that your own life is on the line.

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (8 children)

Shooting unarmed people is never about defence. Thankfully our police isn't like this.

When i went full psycho-mode they came with 12 men and drove me into a psych ward instead of shooting me. Maybe i could have choked my ex to death otherwise.

No guns involved, because i could've snatched one.

They used plastic shields (because i'm a quite fierce guy for my weight class) instead of guns to pin me and be able to arrest me (which they then even didn't do). I wore handcuffs for like 2 minutes or so. They talked with me instead of shooting. I still don't like German police but i gotta respect them for being able to handle these kinds of situations.

There wasn't even a charge. This is what a solution to a conflict should look like.

One of the rare reasons i actually like to pay taxes.

[–]JasonCarswell 8 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

IMO the police are stretched FAAAAAR too wide and their tasks MUST be broken up.

We need:

NEW deescalation teams - with backup SWAT thugs and/or paramedics and/or firemen standing by in case.

NEW mental health teams.

Reform of psych wards, akin to prisons far worse than being left alone.

SWAT to be separate.

Traffic cops and ticket writers to be as separate as the postman is.

Criminal investigators, minor crimes, major crimes, and corporate crime investigators to be separate.

End the drug war and decriminalize everything.

Prosecutors and judges to be separate and independent and accountable.

Prisons to be separate and community controlled - not corporate.

etc.

MORE reforms to help the little guy. But of course they'll never do that.

[–]ReeferMadness 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

That is a massive undertaking and only works in a society with low violence. When you have 1 domestic abuse call per day or less in a city. When there are dozens it becomes untenable.

Then consider that what these officers are doing is mostly traffic stops that quickly turn violent because the person refuses to comply and thinks they can fight their way out.

Letting people like that win is not an option. That is a recipe for absolute disaster.

We can't have a kid gloves swat team at every traffic stop.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

They 'handled' me. Nothing more to add to that.

As i wrote: Without guns. So it is possible. Nobody got injured and the conflict was resolved quite quickly.

If rooms didn't have corners it might have gone south. But it didn't. Because even my kitchen has corners and you only can box against fists you see. Even the big guys never lowered their shields after they dropped the cuffs. There was mutual respect.

Involving guns would have complicated the whole situation.

Medical personnel was also quite nice. I slept it off, my ex moved out quite peacefully and i was back there the day after.

These five minutes were decisive.

[–]ReeferMadness 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

You are claiming that this is comparable to the 900 shootings a year. It is absolutely not.

You are claiming that this kind of response is scalable to all the situations that may lead to violence involving police. It is absolutely not.

Guns are not the problem, violent people are. Those people are by far not temporarily mentally disturbed; they are career criminals.

You are an exception and what worked on you was an exception.

Changing society to conform to your unique situation is stupid.

What, you think people other places don't defend themselves? What the hell is wrong with you? You think a murderer being found out by police is going to hide his gun so they won't find the illegal weapon?

But people elsewhere don't expect to get SHOT for running a stop sign. Go figure.

Every year there are a few. Of course, the newest ones might well be psy ops, but to state "No one gets shot for running a stop" is utterly false.

Now you've changed your story. You said you'd seen it personally, now it's changed to some Wikipedia articles.

Why do I get the idea if I investigate any of these, I'll find out the perp made a sudden movement like he was going to pull out a weapon?

After the 22 minute police chase and several minor collisions, the chase ended when Ambler crashed into a tree, on a North Austin Street.

Yup, there's one.

But it isn’t until he exits the cruiser that he gets into an altercation with the officer, who shoots him six times.

And another. Boy, Vox.com sure is a credible source, isn't it? Not hard left at all.

The Sheriff's Dept. goes on to say that during the struggle, some items Kizzee was carrying fell on the ground ... one of which they claim was a handgun.

There's another one. Bonus points for using the highly credible site TMZ.com.

In December 2017, Slager was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with the judge determining the underlying offense was second-degree murder.

Justice was served.

None of these were running a stop sign. All of them ran from the police and resisted arrest. Traffic stops often result in taking dangerous criminals off the street. It's how they caught left-wing terrorist Yū Kikumura.

You don't have search engines in your neck of the woods? You're too disabled to use one? You really don't know about anything that goes on around you, do you?

Americans are allowed to defend themselves with guns/carry guns, so American cops must deal with that, i.e. does German cops run into people with guns, or suspect it. How many of the fatalities were unjustified?

And the US s a lot more homogenous than Germany.

[–]antireddit 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

The US sees 20k to 30k murders a year. What are the murder rates in those countries? How many cops a year are murdered in those countries compared to the US? How many guns are on the streets in those countries? Guns change the equation dramatically when it comes to policing.

The US has a violence problem. Period. It always has. This includes police as well, but u cannot act like police operate in a vacuum. Everyone likes to pin all the problems on police but nobody has any viable solutions on how to address the issue other than saying police suck. The end result of all this has been people violently resisting arrest more often less competent people wanting to be police or stay on as a cop, while funding for police is now being diverted. So you'll have less competent police with less money facing an increasingly armed population with record numbers of felons being let out of prison early at a time the US is facing massive economic upheavel, and with a media that continually incites hatred of them along with racial hatred overall.

That is all going to make the problem of violence in America(the real problem), worse.

Well the US also has the descendants of ex slaves making up 13% of its population. Granted they were slaves a couple centuries ago but you'd never know that listening to our media, who never misses an opportunity to pick the scabs off old wounds and pour salt on them.

The end result is gonna be a break up of the US, possibly along racial lines, which at this point suits me fine. Anything is better than the shit were dealing with now.

Spot on. Most people have innate behavioral matrix which brings up patterns that have worked in previous generations. About 90% of europeans were farmers and 9% professional merchants / soldiers etc. while 1% were royals etc. The thing is, in europe everything needed long term planning. When to plant stuff, how to regulate your resources etc. while in africa it has been 100% of pure opportunistic savagery. They gather into gangs and prowl on the streets just like their primitive ancestors. They are incompatible with modern world and obsolete to maintain it modes of production. They consume from a closed feedback loop without putting anything back into the system. Europe is e.g. soon in ruins. Sweden has 25% immigrants and they will lose control soon.

99% of people in the US are descendents of ex-slaves. Don't imagine you don't have that legacy in your genes and culture too.

By great great father was bought from an orphanage in the 1910s by a minister so he could stick him down the mines and take his wages. I'd like to say I don't see the mark of that harsh world on the personalities and instincts of my family but its simply not the case.

I 100% believe black people do have that as a problem but so do most other people from lower class stock. At the end of the day in a tough world its the tough, it was the selfish people who survived and that does now jar with the nice comfortable world of the modern West.

It is true that we need reforms. The problem with BLM is they are demanding retarded reforms and turning it into a race thing. We need reforms led by intelligent, rational, and honest people. Everything BLM does seems to be designed to inflame, segregate, and destroy. Their goal is to not have any progress. Their claims are lies, police are not hunting people. Their examples are always chosen so that half the people will disagree that it was unjustified violence. The point of BLM is only to divide people and pit them against each other.

Myopic take. It's much deeper than that. America is a very different culture and society compared to the UK or Germany. Lower trust, more cutthroat.

Yes they made a police misconduct issue, which affects all of us, in to a race issue. They invalidated people who are white and want police reform. They also invalidated people who are black who think all races suffer because of police misconduct, and that general police reform is needed. Instead the conversation is centered fervently around racism, thanks to the media. They successfully divided and conquered people over what should be a relatively straightforward issue.

By the same logic it’s a myth that your boiler won’t explode if you have it serviced regularly. Yes, it can still happen.

Don’t resist police or behave erratically when they’ve been called out on a report of an armed crazy person. In everything but a vanishingly small number of cases you won’t get shot. Get your gas boiler serviced: https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/boilers/article/getting-the-best-boiler-service

Anybody who doesn't understand that the USA has a HUGE police violence problem is living under a rock. Mostly though, people who like to pretend the thugs in uniform never do anything wrong are simply of ill faith.
