Yes, that pretty much is. |
Big time. The guy was described as well known to officers. Hope this acts as a deterrent. |
Maybe criminals will think twice before coming to va now. The suspect wa well known to law enforcement. |
~reasoning needed~ If you can’t see the difference between killing someone in cold blood and killing someone in the context of a struggle caused by the decedent’s own wrongful conduct, there is no helping you. I wouldn’t even bother to respond, except this view is quite dangerous and is causing significant problems. It’s a fully generalized argument against policing: because it’s too dangerous for the criminals, the cops shouldn’t pursue suspects or try to subdue those resisting arrest. The implication of this is that people just need to accept a vastly higher property crime rate than they are comfortable with. That won’t work and it won’t end well. |
Police can’t summarily execute someone for being a repeat shoplifter or a general nuisance, regardless of where they live. We need to understand if the man was also carrying, fighting with the officers, or actively resisting arrest. |
I agree that it's a huge problem. I don't think we agree though what the problem is. |
NP and I LOVED your caption 'these are woods'. Made me literally LOL. |
Let's call it a wooded area and be done with it. |
+1. A known perp to police evading arrest after committing multiple crimes. I have no tears for him. And particularly after what happened yesterday in Orlando with the murder of a 9 year old, two journalists and a 20 year old woman, I would hope that police continue to step up the presence at Tysons. The violent crimes in this country have gotten out of hand. |
Descano is not going to prosecute anyone, that is why police is taking it to their hands. |
Me too, and I was the original “woods??” poster. Where I come from, those are just some trees but I get it. Thank you. When shoplifting becomes a death sentence without a trial, I fear we’ve lost America. I’m tired of the theft and violence too, but this is not ok. |
Criminals actively resist arres in many other countries and are not shot and killed for it--rather, they are just arrested. The US needs a different way to train police. They're trained in quasi military bootcamp style whereas in many European countries they go through YEARS of training in conflict deescalation, etc. |
In another countries they are arrested and prosecuted. In Fairfax county ran by democrat commonwealth attorney, they released back to the streets. In another states they are glorified and made a heroes, like Floyd. |
I agree that police are over militarized but the comparison to Europe misses the point that most Europeans are unarmed. WE have a public that is armed to the teeth. So what do you do when you have an armed assailant who is an immediate threat to the general public? There is a difference between the police violence of unarmed individuals who are, in many cases, pulled over for minor, if not made up, traffic stops and executed. Or individuals who are clearly in mental health crises. Save your energy defending those guys. This guy shot in Tysons was clearly in the middle of a crime. He's not the one who deserved saving. |
Even your poor writing skills show your lack of intellectual capacity, no need to point out the fallacy of what you said. Please don't bother to come back and whine about English not being your first language. It's not mine either, hence my post about European countries. |
