16 Year Old Girl Shooting was warranted to me.....

[cdwright40]

and I feel bad for that 16 year olds family. I think she was in a foster home. You come at me with a knife that can do considerable damage...

Because you can kill someone with a knife. This is one of the very few videos I have seen with a cop killing a black person where there was a legitimate threat.....or a weapon where there is immediate danger. I wish the cop used a taser there though. Maybe they didn't have tasers. I don't know but this one isn't as cut and dry as all the others. I think if you don't have a taser you should get them. These incidents happen very fast. I am giving this cop the benefit of the doubt here. Because he had to make a quick decision on the scene. Cops are just in need of better training and equipment here perhaps.

Cops are supposed to be experts at de-escalating matters. A lethal weapon or lethal force should always be the last option.

It was as cut and dry as they come.
You don’t use a taser when someone’s life is threatened.

Let's not get carried away. Quit just trying to argue. Tasers and stun guns exist for a reason. She was just a 16 year old girl with a knife. Now you are just trying to be argumentative. A knife isn't a gun. This is by definition is the problem. The lack of value people have for black lives......and in fact this goes for all lives. It is just a rarity we hear a white child is shot like this.

lol had that been your daughter who was about to get stabbed you’d be singing a different tune.
Zero tolerance for anyone who has intent to stab someone. He handles it exactly how he should have.

He won’t reply to your call out ... bigots tend to attempt to incite , then run when called out

Shooting was totally justified and probably saved a life. This had nothing to do with lack of value for black lives. How about showing more concern for the intended victim than the psycho with the knife!

It took you 10x longer to write this dribble, especially the last sentence, than he did to rollup on the scene, evaluate the situation and act. He had 9 seconds for all that and the girl was gonna get stabbed to death or was stabbed.

Calm yourself now. I said it was a warranted shooting. There is no need to come here with the sole intention of being argumentative. If you have time to shoot a gun then you have time to shoot a taser....if he had one. I said I don't know if he had one. People like you just want to come here and be messy. Make your point without the vitriol. Have an intelligent discussion. Do better.

Didn't I say the shooting was warranted? How about you let me concern myself with what I choose to concern myself with.

Please watch your name calling. I refuse to allow this thread to go south. You don't know me or anything about me. I said the shooting was warranted. If I were I bigot I would have said it was not warranted. Do better.

 

[cdwright40]

You have zero self awareness. This is literally all you do. You come on and stir the pot with your racist, uninformed, bigoted, anti American sentiment.

I have plenty of awareness. If you are incapable of having tough discussions that is your own immaturity. You don't know me and want to call me names. Do better.

 

[cdwright40]

Again man, you try to turn every thread south, now you chastise others. Come on.

I never called you anything and you come here and call me names. You need to be chastised. You need to do better.

 

[anon_xp0fbtbt18zd1]

Never called you a name. Just described the essence of what you put in this board non stop. You could be a fine person. Idk.

Shut up

 

[cdwright40]

Please stop trying to be argumentative and messy. Keep the thread productive. No need for name calling. I said the shooting was warranted and several people have just come here to be messy anyway. Please do better.

If only Lebron James had been there. He would have handled everything so much better. Lebron can do anything better than anyone. Just ask him.

He's a great man. Just concerned about his community which is 13 percent the population of a country that undeniably has racist roots. These are facts and this guy is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He could do what Michael Jordan did until recently. Just say it's not my problem. Republicans buy sneakers too. I will always put Le Bron over over MJ in terms of greatness because I value athletes as people. Not just athletes. Lebron never had his father in his life. He didn't use that as an excuse. He is still successful in every way imaginable as a man. He gets that it's not just about him.

He had a split second to decide and supposedly was to far for taser , plus tasers don’t always work on everyone.
And he could have hit the other girl with the taser they aren’t as accurate.
Also if taser didn’t work and she stabbed that girl everyone would have said he should have done more.
No win in this climate these days for law enforcement.
I appreciate your honesty on the matter.

Do you know LBJ ?? Sounds like your once again talking out your ass . I happen to know him well ... if you consider a racist a “ great man “ , then I don’t know what to tell you .. stick to talking bout what u know , which is nothing

CD glad you were honest and posted where the fault was. Well done. Now, your rationalization was painful, it seemed to pain you that it was justified, and your agenda suffered. Again very glad you could post something honest, and your an old timer here, so your prior posts have somewhat painted you in a corner, to be fair. As for Lebron,,,,,, there is no excusing his arrogance, but HIS Irresponsibility is criminal. If ANYTHING happens to that police I hope he SUE'S Lebron's arse into oblivion. You are NOT a leader of ANYTHING without Responsibility, and he Showed NONE. Not Now , nor when he graffitied Racist Propaganda on HIS OWN House and called it in as if he was The Victim. Disgusting. Has he returned any $$$ from Slave Owning CHINA ? Nope and Thats Where Lebron's Cred Vanishes. He only Cares for what he GETS PAID TO, and no amount of smart glasses and sweater vests can Fix A Fraud of Character.

I gave you my honest opinion. I can't help how it "seemed" for you. I just told you my honest opinion on the subject. That's it.

As for LeBron you are just overreacting. He is a human being. You are judging a person based on your position of what he believes and what you believe. He comes from a completely different world you have no idea about. I assure you just based on reading what you have to say on these subjects. I disagreed with him. I am not going to villainize him. I know where he comes from and to be honest as a minority myself I can appreciate he cares about the fact that our kids are constantly being killed in cold blood with little to no cause. I am sure he is sick of it like any other minority would be.

Let's not act like this one instance makes up for so many other cases. We have a problem in this country and you are acting like there is no problem. There are just way too many examples of this issue. George Floyd was really one of the very few if any times a police officer was found guilty of this...and still people like yourself come here and defend this and get mad at LEBron when he is just speaking out against what is wrong.

 

[mahb]

it didn't just seem that way for me, but good for you ,,,,,,,,,, Your a Lebron Apologist. He is WRONG, and that Human Being thing is Spineless. He PUT HIMSELF UP as a Leader and Social Activist, and He HAS USED EVERY BENIFIT that privilege has afforded Him. He NEEDS to be Held To IT. Did you Forget what he said ? He POSTED HIS PICTURE and said YOUR NEXT ! He set people on this guy, set him on fire. His Family COUNTS, and LeBron Lite Him UP. I would expect a teenager or real immature 25yr old to answer with that common thing, BUT after ALL the Principal, Virtue, and Righteousness you've been standing on post after post for 4 years+, a let down to be kind

I said I disagreed with him. Get over it. That isn't being an apologist. You need to learn how to listen to people you do not agree with instead of all the vitriol. It isn't healthy. He feels how he feels.

Back to back posts by this guy. The first one he attempts reason, the second, he corrects that attempt.

The left and their media want so badly to fit this into their narrative. At first CD forgot this then performed corrective action.

Are you addressing me? It is not making much sense to me if you are. Just reply to me. You do not need to reply to me and speak to someone else about me. It's wierd.

I don't feel bad for her. She tried to kill another chick with a knife. As usual, the cops save the day.

Odd? You think it's odd that I address the board in general about you? Why would I seek to converse with you? You're a double-talker of the 1st degree. Look at those two posts, you went back and forth regarding a knife.
You maximize a threat, '...a knife can do considerable damage'
You minimize a threat, '...She was just a 16 year old girl with a knife.'

These are your words, posted not 1/2 hour apart, having polar opposite meaning. Now that's weird.

Stop resisting cops. Very easy. Or this will keep happening over and over and over. And there is nothing you can do to change it.

Racist roots or systemic racism? Please provide an example of systemic racism. We’ve been waiting for some time, but all we get is word salad.

Spot on. It’s systemic resistance if cops that is the issue most of the time, not racism.

Tasers don’t work about 30% of the time. Whether it be to clothing issues or just a bad probe connections. You willing to risk your kids life on that? This only blew up because of lob mentality and it needs to stop.

Look, it is clear this person doesn’t value others lives, nor that of children.
