"Insert my standard repetitive bullshit here."

JUST like the "right wing fantasy" that the Dumbocrats' faux impeachment coup would FAIL epically... Oh wait.. It WASN'T a "fantasy"... It actually happened!! :D

You got one right this time! The impeachment wasn't a fantasy; it actually happened.

And all YOUR claims ARE the fantasies.. :D

You know better than that.

And if Biden had Hillary's clout with black Americans, you would have a point..

But he doesn't, so you don't..

You are mistaken about that, of course.

Add in to that mix the *FACT* that black American unemployment is at it's LOWEST POINT EVER thanx to President Trump...

Y'all taking possession of those unemployment numbers in the name of Trump is a very good thing... very much in line and indicative of the stock market y'all tied yourselves to. Good thinking. It would be a shame if anything happened to those numbers, wouldn't you say? Rhetorical question.

As for Michale Brown’s death, while the press loves to say that Brown was “unarmed”...that wasn’t for a lack of trying. Attempting to disarm a police officer is considered an “use of deadly force” by our courts — and for a good reason: 96% of officers who lose their gun during a struggle are killed by that gun (98% are shot). And it is completely justified to respond to a use of deadly force WITH deadly force. You don’t need to trust Michale’s ever-changing claims regarding his work history (it’s now “Public Safety” when I could have sworn it was in Law Enforcement this whole time) to figure out if Officer Wilson was justified in killing Brown. Read Missouri’s legal statutes on justifiable homicide and acting in self-defense. Was it reasonable for the officer to think that his and other’s lives were in danger by Brown if his attempts to take Wilson’s gun were successful? Based on Brown’s previous actions, Wilson’s belief that Brown was attempting to attack him again and witness testimony that believed Brown was charging the officer, the law states that Wilson was justified to shoot Brown.

Michale is really boring.

Once again, you have spelling issues.. You misspelled "dead on balls factually accurate"...

Of course they can.. No one is disputing that.

You have not established that there was no time for the call.

And, it's fair to say that what *I* am saying is ALSO my opinion.. But MY opinion is based on 25+ years in Public Safety.. In other words, being there, doing that..

So, of the two opinions, which carries more weight in the world of the here and now?? The real world??

Why is one of us is right and one of us is wrong is what seems to matter more to you than what we are trying discuss? (I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are trying)

Those hare-brained {sic} "debate" tactics don't work on me when Liz does it and she is a LOT better at it than you..

One of us is right and one of us is wrong because of what forms the BASIS for the differing opinions...

Your opinion is based on zero facts... It's based on how you FEEL...

"Dr Dehner feels that Mitchell is not dangerous. What makes her wrong and you right."
"Because Dr Dehner FEELS.. Her opinion is based on emotion. My opinion is based on logic. And logic tells me we will be very lucky to escape this alive."
-STAR TREK, Where No Man Has Gone Before

My opinion, on the other hand, is based on 2+ decades in the Public Safety career fields..

THAT is what makes your opinion wrong and my opinion factually accurate...

DH,

Did the officer have a fear for his life?
Clearly not. If he was in fear he could have driven away instead of getting out of the car to shoot Brown.

Facts to support???

Regardless, such activity is not in the job description..

Cops don't run away when they are in fear of their lives. They eliminate the threat..

Hell, in FL, CIVILIANS are not required to run away when their life is put in danger...

You call a cop to come to your home because someone is threatening your family with a gun.. Cop responds, feels his life might be in danger and runs away..

Cops are duty bound NOT to run away...

Sorry, but that's a bigger bullshit claim than most you have made on this subject..

When the evidence shows Brown was down when shot with the fatal shot it was not self defense and not a good shooting.

Except NO FACTUAL EVIDENCE showed that...

If the officer could flee (and he could have) because he feared for his life and did not flee then it was not self defense and not a good shooting.

With the utmost affection, you are completely and utterly displaying your ignorance of LEOs and LEO procedures here...

Do you realize the UTTER ANARCHY we would have if cops were required to flee every time they felt their life was in danger!??

Why bother having cops???
