Daunte Wright Shooting

[John6185]

I saw that and thought WTF. Due Process is what separates us from 3rd world countries and the City Manager should have been applauded. The City Council is obviously reacting to the threat of riots and threw the City Manager under the buss.

. I believe you are correct, BLM is in charge of the liberal cities now and NO ONE is going to challenge them. It's a shame BLM has so much control over literally everything. Do away with tasers and give the police full protection from being called names, cursed at, spit upon and arrest the people that show disrespect like it used to be in the fifties.

I hope you are in a very small minority of opinion on that.

Just because BLM is wrong, doesn't mean the cops are right.

Same attorney for Floyd is representing the Wright family. Wonder how quickly Brooklyn Center can write a big check?

. BLM is more wrong than a few police officers. Even in the military we have some duds but the vast majority of military and police officers are honorable and do their job properly. If most police officers were dirty cops, there would be more shooting of motorists who refuse to comply. Granted, even on the best of days a good person can make an error that can be grievous but we really shouldn't lump all cops into the gene pool of bad cops. Perhaps you took my post differently than what I intended, I believe the police should be respected but what I believe isn't the mantra of some members of our society.

Surviving an encounter with the police pretty much boils down to a one-word rule.

"Cooperate."

A. Do it, and live.
B. Don't do it, and take your chances.

You'd think parents would be smart enough to teach their kids this simple rule.

FWIW, it's kinda hard to sympathize with those that choose "B" ...

Just my 2¢ ...

The funny thing is that I think most people in society WANT the police to be respected. I think most people DO think that cops discharge their duties honorably. But also what people see is that the same "honorable" ones will circle the wagons around the bad ones. No. Matter. What. How many times in the last year, the last few years has video come out with some dirty dirty on it and all the public will ever see is "we investigated ourselves and we find ourselves innocent." Like the release of information the other day that said the guy getting shot 7 times in the back was within department policy and training. How is that better? 7 times in the back of an invader in any of our homes and we're doing 20-life no questions asked.

I saw a story the other day where a cop got off with a slap on the wrist after raping someone on-duty in his car because it was said "no one could prove consent wasn't given". I'd love to be able to cite that, but googling for "cop rapes woman in his car" brings up a sickening amount of results. Either way, I was on a jury that put someone in jail for 30 years for rape because of threat, and there's little to no way, in my mind, that someone is going to convince me a predator cop with a gun, handcuffs, (etc), and a whole system of protections is going to really get "consent". Because as the google results show, there's good reason for them to believe no one will believe the victim, they'll walk with no consequence because of "lack of evidence" or sometimes get a 90 day sentence or similar, when again, any of us would be looking 20-life.

Kind of riffing off my above point, the girl(s) in the stories basically had a choice --- A) cooperate (and get raped) or B) Take their chances. I don't think the choice is quite as binary as your make it out here.

There's definitely bad cops that need rooted out. But I also think the number is very small. What I think would help in this is for everyone to be honest in evaluating these encounters. Everyone is screaming murderer and rioting because of this Wright shooting. Unless something dramatic and unexpected comes out on it, there is no way you can think that the cop murdered him. Tragic mistake, yes. Incompetent, maybe. But the idea she murdered this guy is just stupid and dishonest.

And again, all he had to do was comply and he'd be alive right now.

Obviously, I'm talking about LAWFUL cooperation.

I'm in favor of prosecuting any/all LEOs that attempt rape, or any other felony crime.
