    You’ve literally just said one or two pages ago that when you were in America you seen the cops empty their magazines into a homeless white guy and it never made the news.

    There’s plenty of videos from the US where cops have killed white dudes for nothing. It’s a culture of blood thirst more than racism, imo.

    As much as I think US police are ill trained, trigger happy buffoons who couldnt de-escalate a 5 year olds tantrum, I also have to query the wisdom of choosing to protest with the cop against your detainment in that moment, whilst a hyped up, meat head cop is holding a loaded weapon at you.
    Just do as you are bid, try your best to make sure you capture the moment on camera, and make your complaint after the fact. Trying to argue with a lunatic holding a loaded gun at you seems like a stupid idea. Not the right time to take a principled stance!

    I've only seen the video once, but surely there was ample opportunity as he walked towards the car door to manually restrain him without the need to shoot him. I'm sure that is possible without strangling people?

    Anyway the whole thing is fcked. If you're allowing a gun lobby group to dictate the ownership and use of guns as a legal right then unfortunately the police need to be armed as well. Prevention is the best course of action and that means putting the horse before the cart.

    Didn’t deserve to get shot 7 times though, did he?

    Yeah, I think you’ve missed my point. I wasn’t saying that it’s okay for cops to shoot black people so long as they shoot whites too. I was saying US cops are trigger happy, and liable to shoot anyone. Probably still more likely to get shot if you’re black though.

    Personally I've never disputed the fact by ignoring the cops, and reaching into his car the way he did, he had to be dealt with. What I question is whether it really takes trained firearm officers seven attempts to do it. Was it one for each arm, once for each leg, one for each ball and one for the cock <whistle>

    I'm guessing by the mess of the guys, colon, stomach and kidney, their aim was pretty good at point blank range. I don't know why, they just can't do like they do in the movies...

    Whilst you make some good points and, of course, there will always be a risk that someone has a concealed firearm ... the guy had his 3 kids in the car ... was he really likely to initiate a bullet storm shoot out with several cops and risk the kids copping (pun intended) one in the cross fire?

    As somebody else said ... what training are these guys getting? ... even ignoring that, common sense should have prevailed ... did they not have tasers?

    They sure as **** dont get decent marksman training, unless they are SWAT.
    Why cant they shoot to incapacitate and fire one shot.
    I remember an instance I saw on film, it was in the US, in a mall parking lot, some mentally ill guy was having a breakdown, surrounded by like 7 cops, and they all just unloaded into the guy, they fired over 40 bullets, yet the guy was only shot like 6 times (I forget the exact figures but it was something like that).
    This was in a public car park!! WTF did those 34 other bullets go?!
    They were standing like 20 feet from him too!

    When the cops shot Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta (June 2020) I remember the guys attorney telling the press, that one of the cop bullets went into a near-by car that had kids in it.

    Here yer go, just googled it... https://nypost.com/2020/06/15/cops-bullet-hit-familys-car-inside-in-rayshard-brooks-shooting-lawyer/

    I saw in Speed when Dennis Hopper has Keanu's mate held hostage in front of him. Keanu shoots his mate in the leg which means Hopper can no longer use him as a shield and his mate survived. It was genius! So it can be done <ok>

    And now ....Russian military diliberately ram a US military vehicle with several US soldiers injured. White House saying "SSSHHHH" keep it quiet!

    With this nitwit,if his staff do what they are supposed to do,he will chop you. They MUST do what he says,which is usually the wrong course."Piss on democracy!" he says.

    Surprised they want to keep it quiet. Perfect opportunity in election year for Trump to get his c0ck out and wave it in front of Russia to get the votes up.

    It wouldn't surprise me if Putin was doing it to help his furry orange friend by creating the whole scenario.

    The guy is just repulsive, in every sense of the word.
    His smarmy voice, his smug ****ing face, his narcissistic attitude, his **** hair (you aint fooling anyone mate, thats the ****test comb over ever).
    Hillary must be really ****ing hated if this is the guy they picked instead.

    I saw a picture of Trump once that someone mocked up, where he had shaved his head and grew a goatee and he looked bad ass. I dont know why a lot of older men dont just embrace baldness. A lot of women find bald men attractive.

    Here I found it:

    Looks much better than that ridiculous comb over!

    Im rooting for it.
    Will be far more entertaining watching ****tards scream about fascism and Nazis and cry like morons, than watching sleepy Joe mumble his way through speeches and forgetting where he is.
    Actually that sounds quite funny too, now I think about it <laugh>
