It doesn't excuse anything, but you had to say it? It doesn't excuse anything, but we had to try and make an excuse anyway, right? gently caress this. This is the poo poo RIGHT HERE that cops keep hiding behind. Make public spaces private property. Enforce private property boundaries to suppress free speech. Moderate southerners did the same poo poo in the 60s.

It’s a good episode. Evans does a great job pouring over Grossman’s bullshit and describing what an odious effect it’s had on law enforcement culture.

I've been looking for a way to counteract some of the doom/gloom in at least a slightly comedic way, but Bomani Jones found it. You might have to turn the audio up, as it's just some guy phone-recording the radio show. https://twitter.com/Ryan_Cortes/status/1267475574701899777?s=19 Utah appears to be 1.6% black.

A friend of mine put it best that it really started to take root in "Make sure everyone gets home alive" rhetoric being said at the end of every patrol brief and that cops lives mattered more than civilians. Like obviously not the root cause of everything but this dipshit really helped to sell that narrative and a lot of the blame for that stupid mentality can be laid at his feet.

In fairness, he did say "An unarmed person with a knife or something". Not excusing or agreeing with it but there's the full context of the quote.

I have heard horror stories about units during the invasion of Iraq and I imagine it will be different from unit to unit but in 2010 I probably would have (deservedly) been thrown under every bus by every leader in my unit if I fired on a crowd of civilians. My leaders were dogshit but they still wouldn’t have tried to have anyone’s back for that. Plus we were doing the whole COIN thing. Hearts and minds.

There's so much wrong with this. "An unarmed person with a knife or something" isn't an unarmed person. A person with a knife, a bat, a metal pipe, is a deadly threat and it's stupid as gently caress to try to aim for the leg on a moving target. Best practice is have one officer with a taser, one with a gun, one with a LL shotgun with beanbag rounds. If it's just one officer, then if that guy comes at the officer, he's posing a deadly threat and needs to be stopped. Way too many unarmed people get shot by cops due to incompetence, negligence, and bad training. The amount of unarmed people getting shot because they reach for ID or something is inexcusable, and largely due to terrible training the cops get. Five cops yelling contradicting orders at one guy, even two different orders are too many. Not enough training at ALL on the fight, flight, or freeze response, the effect that has on the body, stuff like reduced gross motor functions, tunnel vision, auditory exclusion, etc. Not NEARLY enough training on that. Repeating simple commands loudly, coming from a single voice, and waiting and giving the person who is nervous, scared, and filled with adrenaline a few loving seconds to comprehend and comply, is something that more police agencies need to be trained on. The science has been out there for 15-20 years and has only gotten better in the last 10. However, there are times where bad guys go for the officer's gun, or times where the cop is being overwhelmed and beaten and is close to getting killed, where shooting an unarmed person would be completely justified. Like here: https://youtu.be/rlH12wfiuI0 It'd be justified if a random person was getting beaten that badly. US laws state, by and large, "if a reasonable person would be in fear for their life or great bodily injury under the same circumstances, or to save a third person from death or great bodily injury," deadly force is authorized. There was also a shooting where a suspect engaged in a physical fight with an officer, eventually actually grabbed an officer's taser, started tasing him, was close to getting his gun, was on top of him, and another officer arrived for backup and had to shoot the suspect. Some bad people simply have a height, weight, and/or training advantage over victims. But these cases are the vast minority - they're the exceptions. I'd say the vast majority of cases I've seen where an unarmed person was shot by police were completely unjustified and should have resulted in firings and charges.

Crazy Mike posted:I'm amazed despite the large protests, the stock market is up today. I'm interested in what the total economic damage is compared to a hurricane or earthquake. Have we effectively priced in civil unrest? I also think it's insane and was wrestling with the why. Best Stock market looks out one to three months to the future (some parts shorter, some parts longer than that). Higher demand for construction and materials, and already challenged businesses closing when insurance covers the building or the store, but not lost revenue during reconstruction, means lots-for-sale for commercial real estate firms. Also, since markets were down on Friday, it's probably compensating for temporary undervaluation.

Grossman is an example of a guy that can come up with mumbo jumbo picking some science but twisting it and perverting it. He's a piece of poo poo and pretty much every single serious researcher of officer involved shootings, and the body's physiological responses during a fight or flight incident poo poo talks him and his work.

An rather non-trivial amount of people think police interactions should go like this: If they run, they're guilty. If they dont run, they don't fear you and thus don't respect you. Just what exactly do you be when people have created an entire universe that justifies escalating the violence at every opportunity.

cops are loving idiots incapable of grasping the idea of standoff range when dealing with someone that is possible armed. Some kid has a plastic toy and they'll loving roll up inside 10m to shoot him instead of staying 100m away out of his range. Same with anything they consider to be a melee weapon.

Doc Hawkins posted:the zimmerman defense, and you're defending it. That’s the standard for self defense. If someone killed a Nazi in similar circumstances, they’d be right to invoke it. Zimmerman is a colossal piece of poo poo who should have been convicted. That’s a Florida problem, not one with how the basis of self defense laws are founded.
