Last December, Fort Collins police killed an unarmed man who “made a threatening gesture.”
He was an escaped felon, whom the police had gotten a tip about. They showed up at his house at 11pm and banged on the door. He came out of the house holding a flashlight and the police shot him eight times in the chest with a .45 . A police inquiry cleared the officers of any wrongdoing.
In Southern Cal, it’s even more fun. You get pulled over for a simple speeding ticket and the officer acts like a coke addict when he approaches the car. Highly agitated is an putting it mildly. Add a high speed chase, or any other abnormality and they’ve already got their guns drawn.
But is this a symptom of the environment they live in? Sometimes I think yes, sometimes no. While living there, police shot someone for failure to shut off their car following a chase. On another occasion, they riddled some guy who fled, then ran out of gas on an offramp. He was just sitting in the car. Another guy was in a diabetic fit, swinging a golf club in the street. They shot a woman who was passed out in her car drunk with a handgun on her lap. They shot another who was threatening to shoot herself….. still trying to figure that one out.
We’ll never do everything right. But what incredible hypocrisy to fault waterboarding when blasting Osama’s skull apart is ok. Shouldn’t we waterboard him too? And lets not forget all the folks getting blown to bits in Libya. Women, Children. But now it’s righteous. It isn’t evil anymore. It’s R2P. Soros says so.
Welcome to the new Amerika.
Last December, Fort Collins police killed an escaped felon…….
Oh. Then definitely he should have been murdered. Good job, coppers!
Felons are subhuman after all. Especially those marijuana users. They’re the most dangerous. How about, when one escapes from their cage, we have the cops not only murder them but their families as well, you know, as to discourage other rotten felons from future escape?
And then everybody should throw a parade for the coppers and sing the Star Spangled Banner. They’d like that on account they’re most likely Iraq vets and used to being worshiped for killing innocent people.
