jgoose71 0 #1 May 10, 2015 Reports right now are that one suspect is in custody and one is still on the loose. Has a war between the African American youth and the police officially started? How do you think this will turn out for the youth? Think it will help the stereo types? "He's black? Obviously an upstanding member of the community...." That one of the Police Officers shot was African American probably has Al Sharpton's head spinning on what to do. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/report-2-mississippi-officers-fatally-shot-suspect-sought/ar-BBjvYBd"There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

jgoose71 0 #6 May 10, 2015 It's sad really, what i really wanted to know is how everyone felt about all the police being murdered by African Americans, and this is what gets focused on. I guess liberals feel that the murder of police is justified, as long as it's by an African American.... "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

I'm a liberal, and I'm sorry when anyone is murdered, regardless of the skin color of the murderer or the victim. If you really believe that liberals support the murder of police officers by anyone, all I can do is feel sorry for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,354 #18 May 11, 2015 jgoose71...Has a war between the African American youth and the police officially started?... No. This one, the one in NYC, and a recent one here in Wisconsin were all typical "Bad guy doesn't want to go to jail, panics & shoots cop" situations. This shooting (in MS) is a textbook case of why traffic stops are one of the top 2 dangerous situations for cops (the other being domestic disputes). The cop never knows exactly what he's going to encounter. It could be a "soccer mom" who's in a hurry, it could be an armed robber who just shot the clerk at the convenience store a mile up the road."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

It truly takes a special person to have the fortitude, bravery, tolerance and sensitivity to be an effective police officer without prejudice. It's a tough line to follow. Not everybody can do it.There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it takes a 'special' person to do many jobs. I couldn't be a cop, I have too high a temper. On the other hand, most people couldn;t do my job. There are many jobs that any Joe Schmoe can do, and many that require special skills or abilities. I think being a cop is one of the latter. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, everyone could take the approach that the right wingers take, I guess. "The cops were resisting. Simple - don't resist and you don't get shot. Too bad they couldn't figure that out." "The cops were violent thugs; they had been investigated before. They were certainly no choirboys." Fortunately most people are better than that.
