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

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.

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.

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.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

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"

Ma'am you are smug and rude.

Thank you, trannyjew.

[–][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.
