You would have to have the money to move forward but it may be less than you think. Yes, I'd be interested in what sort of civil claim you would pursue and what sort of recovery you would hope to have. I assume? that you would sue the city as well as the officer personally? How much money would you have to have to move forward on something like this? I would guess $5000-$10000 in cash just for retainers."What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

christelsabine 1 #128 July 26, 2011 Quote Quote Quote To protect and serve .... I guess they forgot to tell the police that they are suppose to be serving and protecting the public not themselves.Never allow the police to unionize ... wait to late. What sh*t is that. As long as per your constitution even the insane are entitled to bear weapons - how and what do policemen have to *protect and serve*?? I'd say: At first action, their own lifes. W/o that, it's quite hard to *serve*. You guys really are weird. Giving every idiot a nearly free access to arms and complaining .... Disarm your citizens and let police officers do their job. The cops are just jealous 'cuz our guns are better than theirs. Ooops. Who's *our*, who's *theirs* ? OK. Who cares ....Seriously: The cops' voice clearly showed anger, a lot of anger .... anger, b/c a simple guy in the street had the balls to tell him, that he carried a weapon .... And that dude was very patient and relaxed. And the officer was very scared ..... dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Idiot! Why let the other two go? Wait till they're run-verify name and dob, they got warrants? Never saw the prostitute close enough-but is she actually under 18?

In fact, it's the part I disagree with the most because clearly anyone would easily recognize the police and military were armed. Hitler didn't disarm the citizens in general, only a small segment, the Jews. Not that it mattered much. The Jews were pretty heavily outnumbered and the plan to exterminate them really didn't hinge on them being unarmed. This is one of the reasons I find it hilarious that some people think they could resist using their own weapons agains the state if the state decided to repeat that bit of history or if, like the Tea Party sometimes suggests, make use of "2nd Amendment remedies." It's just ridiculous.

Like the VC? It was very easy for the Germans to treat the Jews like dogs, to beat or even shoot them on a whim when they had no means of resistance. A soldier or cop with no fear of retribution becomes less inhibited. Why do you think the Black Panthers armed themselves?

quade 3 #149 August 1, 2011 QuoteDid you miss the part about "citizens"? Not at all. In fact, it's the part I disagree with the most because clearly anyone would easily recognize the police and military were armed. Hitler didn't disarm the citizens in general, only a small segment, the Jews. Not that it mattered much. The Jews were pretty heavily outnumbered and the plan to exterminate them really didn't hinge on them being unarmed. This is one of the reasons I find it hilarious that some people think they could resist using their own weapons agains the state if the state decided to repeat that bit of history or if, like the Tea Party sometimes suggests, make use of "2nd Amendment remedies." It's just ridiculous. I guess you could ask the folks that have tried to put up a resistance like that in our recent past, but they're all dead.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #150 August 1, 2011 Quote I guess you could ask the folks that have tried to put up a resistance like that in our recent past, but they're all dead. Like the VC? It was very easy for the Germans to treat the Jews like dogs, to beat or even shoot them on a whim when they had no means of resistance. A soldier or cop with no fear of retribution becomes less inhibited. Why do you think the Black Panthers armed themselves? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
