[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You mean like Eric Garner, who had no weapon and was raising his hands in the air as police calmly walked up to him in a huge group, wrestled him to the ground and choked him to death? WE ALL SAW THE VIDEO. Clearly the police were not scared or in danger -- they chose to kill him because it [b]pissed them off that he did not do what they said.[/b]

Same with Ferguson. You heard the neutral bystanders say, "Oh my God, he had his hands up." He was shot because he pissed the police officer off by calling him a pussy and walking away. If the police cannot deal with situations like this without resorting to murder, then they should not be police officers in this great country. Nor should they own a gun, IMO. I fear for their wives, children and neighbors[/quote]

The police gave Garner a command.  He did not obey and was belligerent.  He got shot. Lesson to be learned:  when the police tell you to do something you are to shut up, listen, and do what you are told.  They are in a high stress job where their lives are in danger every day.  Only stupid fools try to fight and argue with an armed policeman and they get killed for their stupidity.  Not saying they should be, just it can be avoided.

[quote]Oh, so I guess the two videos we have seen were manufactured on a sound stage in Area 51? [/quote]

No, but what we get to hear is censored and screened.  We only get to see and hear what the news media wants us to see and hear.  Not in every case but enough of them to discern a pattern.

[quote]We all heard the cellphone video of the completely neutral bystanders who said "OMG, he had his hands up and they shot him." They had no stake in the fight AT ALL. We all heard it. You did too. Don't pretend otherwise. [/quote]

Assumption #1:  the bystanders are neutral.
Assumption #2:  :"they" had no stake in the fight
Assumption #3   what we all heard from the cellphone video told the whole story.

Time and time again the media is trying to act as judge and jury before all the evidence is presented.  Just as in the case of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown I refuse to allow my emotions to be impacted, I refuse to make a judgment until I see all the facts.  I refuse to allow the media try and drag me down the garden path.

I am NOT saying these policemen are innocent, or that what they did was right, or anything because I have not examined all the evidence and there has not been a trial.  All I am saying is, take with a grain of salt all that you see and hear on sound and video that is released across the internet.  [/quote]

I think I found your picture. You're obviously living on Fantasy Island...
