  • I’m not defending cops at all. There are plenty of incidents of racist or corrupt pieces of shit who are trigger happy. This just isn’t one of them.

    The cops that put this guy in jail are garbage, ones that engage in the behaviour you described are garbage, this particular cop did none of that. As an adult, I can actually look at a situation and analyse that without being biased over a generalized hatred. You might want to work on that.

    YOU seem to have looked at the summary, decided “black man, white cop” and that’s all it took to render a decision of guilt without looking at the situation at-hand. Doubt you even watched the video but I doubt it would have affected your decision either way






  • No, he was not “summarily executed”, nor was he killed for speeding.

    He was PULLED OVER, for speeding and dangerous driving. After such he refused directions, and was aggressive. Despite being used, he decided to go all-in and assault the cop, who he was managing to choke out. Cop pulled a baton and tried to use that but had no success while still getting choked, so finally went for his gun and - again while STILL being assaulted and choked - put a bullet in his attacker.

    If he hadn’t done so, we’d probably be seeing dashcam footage ending with a dead cop while his attacker took off and was subject of a manhunt.

    Even after the shooting, the cop called it in immediately and tried to render aid.





  • I’d say the condom thing is also because it raises the risk level considerably, not just because it was dishonest. It’s not just the act they didn’t consent to but the risk of unnoticed m unprotected sex.

    BUT, by that token the risk level of having your sex-acts put on the internet for potential millions to see - including family members, potential employers, etc - is still considerable. It can ruin lives in different but still very significant ways.

    These scum deserve to be stuffed in a cell.







  • Yeah, I think an important thing parents need to do (apart from tearing down their kids for no reason) is differentiate DOING something dumb versus BEING dumb.

    A comment my dad made long ago when I was young kinda stuck with me “For a kid who’s really smart you sure do some really dumb shit sometimes”

    I’ve tried to phrase things like that to my kids, not “you dumbass why did you do that?” but more along “you’re smart enough to know you shouldn’t do that, so why did you?”
