The Isolated Blurt Thread XXIX: No Whining

[Wings]

My first migraine ever yesterday. How do you people deal with these on a regular basis? Jesus.

I'm sure the officer felt he was in grave danger.

By an unarmed man. While in an armoured vehicle. <---- Is this not sinking in?

cop didn't have his x-ray goggles on, apparently.

seriously though, dude's charging at the police in the middle of a violent crime situation, how can they be sure he is or isn't armed? all they know is here's a guy willing to attack police, he's therefore a danger to the community.

and say the cop ducks into the armored car for safety. he's safe, sure, but then crazy guy turns and attacks some kids walking nearby.
who's to blame, then?

i'm no cop, i'm just regurgitating what some of my cop friends have described to me, what their jobs are like.

but i know i wouldn't want to be filmed at my work, and then have thousands of non-architects criticizing me and pointing out how i could've done shit better.

I take a melon baller to the affected area.



This might be why I tend to have a drooling problem.

Gawdyes.

I'll even actually sleep and not try to grope you.

The sneeze that wouldn't be denied.

Fair warning: I star fish so there's limbs all over the place when I sleep.

That almost sounds dirty.


Almost.

 

[Wings]

What good would a nap be if it wasn't dirty?

 

[Wings]

Win!!!

Someone new needs to win this. Where's Harry?

The was not "violent crime situation". It was 2 1/2 hours after the car chase. The armored vehicles came from the house where the aleged car jacker was arrested.

She and other relatives attended a Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting to draw attention to their brother’s death. She described him as mentally diminished, kind-hearted, soft-spoken and someone who “would not have harmed a flea.”

Stanley, Thompson’s sister, said she believes her brother didn’t respond to deputies because he was afraid and didn’t know what to do. She questioned why a deputy in an armored vehicle would need to use deadly force.

“He can’t go through armored cars,” she said, calling for the deputy to be fired.

“Why would SWAT and dogs and a number of people have to surround one man that was 130 pounds, 5’3” and kill him?” she added. “Even if he didn’t respond that doesn’t justify killing him. There’s no reason for this.”

Not the kind of nap that I want to take, that's for sure.

 

[JohnnySavage]

The sister's name is Stanley?

 

[spacekowboy]

[spacekowboy]

Or I was on it
