I mean you guys took me from a right/centrists poo poo head to a leftist with the approach I listed above, calmly and rationally explained why some things were problems that I had never experienced. If it worked for me and the example that you guys have set over the years has worked on others I don't see any reason to wholesale write off an entire group of people just because it's a lot of work.

You’re an idiot and all cops are bastards.

The attorney who represented the family of George Floyd over his death at the hands of a white Minneapolis police officer issued a statement on Monday following media reports that Los Angeles Police Department members had circulated an image of Floyd with the phrase, "You take my breath away."

It was somewhat heartening that the comments on the Fox News story about this were universally livid in opposition. It's a bridge too far even for the sort of people who comment on fox news.

Cops don’t care about those people either though. And you have to ask who you think politicians will stick up for: human capital or the people protecting capital?

The one benefit to social media is that unless a cop kills someone when no one is around, they will likely be outed at some point.

If a cop kills someone when no one is around (except other cops ofc) then we probably don’t hear about it anyway, so

Remember when that kid was crawling on his hands and knees in hysterics in the hotel hallway and the cops shot him because he reached to pull his pants up?

Remember when Philando Castile was reaching for his license and cops kept shouting over his explanations and then shot him in front of his partner and her 4-year-old daughter?

I’m not reaching for anything either.

I understand this. Would your opinion of this shoot have changed if it was not child? How old does someone have to be before they are responsible fore their actions? I'm not glad that this happened. I do not enjoy it. It's loving horrible.

It also saved a life. And I understand that and on this one I'm ok with the outcome. If other video pops up that shows the officer lurking around while this situation was escalating and not taking action then my opinion on this event will change.

Pot calls the kettle black.

I'm not moving goalpost dude. Im trying however poorly to communicate that I don't believe that humans go from child to adults in just two stages and that I believe around the age of 15 I had enough of an understanding of cause and effect I'd fully expect the cops showing up to put lead in me if they saw me running towards someone else trying to stab them with a knife.

There is reasonable age at which you should understand that stabbing is bad.

If you look like you could possibly obtain a driver's license and operate a vehicle your responsible for your own poo poo decisions when it comes towards bodily harm towards another individual.

Is this a poo poo world, yeah ill freely admit it. But honestly comparing the response that I usually expect from police I'll take them showing up seeing someone's life threatened with lethal force and protecting the person in harms way.

Tbf I only said 18 to humor you. I don’t believe the cops should’ve shot her if she was 18, 85, or “15ish” (where you draw the line).

Again, you are defending the shooting of a 16 year old, you piece of poo poo.

What a hill for you to die on.

Hi.

A child can kill a person just as easily as an adult. It's tragic, but a knife swung by a 16 year old is not any less fatal than one swung by a 26 year old.

I hope you can somehow parse this information.

Cute! It's as if that quoted tweet is extremely stupid and is somehow glossing over the fact that Mi'Kiah had already stabbed someone, and was trying to stab another.

I also love it when, in the video, the girl who was stabbed and fell to the ground was then punted in the head by a grown man, who then proceeded to berate the cop who shot a person actively trying to murder someone.

As a parent, If it were my child being attacked by someone with a knife, I would want the offender to be stopped by whatever means necessary.

You should really back up and quit moralizing and condescending at people.
