Excuse me if I have zero patience and hostility towards you after your cheeky Micheal Brown comments in the other thread about AltonSterling.

Because everything is a joke on Anandtech. But you want to have a polite discussion...when you bring up a different shooting jokingly as a reason why people arent allowed to speculate on a separate incident. b/c everything is "LOL MICHEAL BROWN AND TRAYVON, AMIRITE?" when stuff like this happens.


Only reason you aren't joking now is because there is no dirt on this guy.
I've clearly explained why I made the Michael Brown comment. It was not to marginalize him or blacks in the slightest. If you took it that way, then you're wrong.

I did answer the question (and edited my post to reflect my sentiments on you) and you just responded to it. Are you that old that you just forgot something that happened less than 5 minutes
ago?

So, as far as I'm concerned, you are one of the "you guys" I was talking about.

I wonder if we, as a nation, could push for just one day of cops not having guns. Let the cops actually have to interact with people as human beings while doing their job for just one day. Their itchy trigger fingers are getting way too itchy as of late.

For regular beat cops, sure. You're still going to have some police with arms (e.g. SWAT) to deal with specific types of scenarios and periodically might need to arm officers (e.g. conducting crowd control or responding to rioting). But otherwise I see no overriding reason that every law enforcement officer needs to be armed at all times on duty.

Really? How many cops never fire their guns in their entire careers? They do talk to people and the vast majority of the time they aren't shooting people.

In the UK, police officers do not carry firearms. But we are a much more violent people.

black people are not allowed to carry firearms. That video is horrible. Most white people are such fearful pussies. I'm ashamed to be white sometimes.

Uh, no, that's not going to happen, nor should it. Cops should have the means to take whatever action is needed, especially in a country where anyone can be armed when something happens.

I definitely think we need to re-think police training to focus much more heavily on integration with the community and de-escalation techniques. Using a weapon (firearm, or even a taser or pepper spray) should be a last resort when all other reasonable efforts have failed, not a first option. Wishful unicorn thinking doesn't magically make our society any less dangerous though. There are a lot of dangerous criminals out there, and I sure as heck would not want to be a police officer tasked with enforcing the law without any means of defending myself if the bad guy is armed.

Correct, but firearms are pretty much banned for the regular population of the UK as well, and they also don't have the same issues with armed gangs etc to deal with.

You know the cop wasn't white right? Your guilt is weird.

fuck them. They chose the job. What we need are intelligent people. No more criminal justice bullshit degree idiots. We need people with psych degrees working as cops. Sorry if that means mr middle c from rural indianastan cant get a fucking job anymore.

f*ck them. They chose the job.

They chose the job they have now, not the one you're proposing.

Good luck finding anyone who'd want to be a cop when they have to be unarmed and go into violent situations and very violent areas where many are armed and would not hesitate to shoot you.

<racist drivel snipped>

You have a lot of pent up anger. You should consider professional help.....

I didnt say anything about them not being armed. We need problem solvers not these morons.

No idea, but the media outlets (including NYT) are reporting he's asian. What history are you spinning?

I just watched the video. Even if he is asian this is still systemic racism. And you all wonder why black people dont want to fold into white culture.

When making the Michael Brown comment I was clearly joking at the low-IQ mentality of race hustlers like you. And if your definition of "you guys" represents those who find knee-jerk accusatory speculation of racism (based solely on the skin color of those involved) to be disgusting..then count me in. This is the very heart of racism. People like you who actively engage in this kind of divisive speculation are racist as hell and are a fucking scourge on humanity imo.

I got a freeze frame up right now showing white arms.

He was an Asian dude. But I'm sure he thought he was part of the gang. Makes no difference to me. Just like the cop that shot Akai Gurley and got away with it (because he was startled!)....this dude will be propped up as another Hero.

Low IQ mentality. LOL I'm educated AND I have a good job with good pay and benefits. Be gone, dude. I'm a scourge on Humanity? Of course you think that.

You're calling me racist because I included you in a group of people who like to make racial comments. Hilarious.

This seems to be a tragic case all around. I refuse to go along with the knee-jerk reaction that this is because of racism -- we simply don't have any information to base that on at this point. Let the investigation determine the specific facts, but we know it ended up with an (apparently) innocent man getting shot, so it's terrible

What gang? You're insane on this subject, in my humble opinion. Simply disgusting.
