Hermit Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Unfortunately, the cops shooting dogs isn't new. Do a search on puppycide and police and prepare to be depressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sociotard Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Holy Crap. I'm going to call the cops here in Portland and take them out for a drink. 1) The officers I've met and encountered have been great and 2) I may just want to get on their good side. Been living in Portland for 3 years now and yesterday afternoon while waiting for the streetcar to take me home from grocery shopping I saw a fight between two homeless (maybe not homeless, but non-affluent white gentlemen in their late 50's or really hard lives) fellows. Mostly shouting and shoving and then LOTS of shouting and flipping of birds. Three cop cars arrived to deal with it when they were called. I remember how nice they were when I went to my last war protest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 So the Freddie Gray case has been turned over to the Baltimore state's attorney, Marilyn Mosby, who has some ties to the police: both parents, a grandfather, two aunts, and three uncles. Anyone care to guess how the prosecution will go? Ragitsu and 薔薇語 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
薔薇語 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 So the Freddie Gray case has been turned over to the Baltimore state's attorney, Marilyn Mosby, who has some ties to the police: both parents, a grandfather, two aunts, and three uncles. Anyone care to guess how the prosecution will go? Obviously justice is her only concern. She will not be swayed by all the terrible events in Baltimore. The public's 'irrational' call for justice. The video 'evidence', or anything else in her quest to seek justice FOR the cops. La Rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranxerox Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 What the hell? The cop said that the boyfriend pulled a gun from his waistband. What more do you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
薔薇語 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 The cop said that the boyfriend pulled a gun from his waistband. What more do you want? I think I finally agree with E84: we should all go pantless from now on. Cops can't claim we were going to pull something from our waistband if we don't have one. Who wants to join me and E84 in our Pantless protest? La Rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't work for me, the cops would claim that my pasty white legs were an attempt to blind them. Hermit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case neither the cop or myself could see my waistband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranxerox Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 so a cop turned his back on a guy with a gun and fired over his shoulder? It is the prosecutor's position that he fired over his shoulder. According to cop he was looking right at the boyfriend when the boyfriend went for his gun. Despite the boyfriend reaching for his gun first, the cop, being Quick Draw McGraw, shot first. However, it being a quick shot and all he only hit the boyfriend's thumb and the bullet continued on to hit the girlfriend in the back of the head. All a tragic accident, precipitated by the boyfriends murderous actions, don't you see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
