PaladinSolo Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 ABC just reported that Trump doesn't want to pardon anyone else because his lawyers told him if he self pardons its an admission of guilt and he can be sued for damages, lolololololololol. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 49 minutes ago, BloodyHell said: So give one argument against this shooting beyond "I want to be against it". She was at the head of a murderous mob. Those officers showed incredible restraint. It's not that "I want to be against it", I want to make sure this was truly justified, and her simply committing a crime isn't enough. What were this officer's options? From the two videos I've seen (which let's be honest, do not paint the whole picture on their own) it looked like he was an officer in a suit, so is he only armed with a pistol? Does he have a baton, pepper spray, or a taser? Was he the only officer there? Could he have fired a warning shot (probably not given they're indoors but you get what I mean)? I want to know the full context of this shooting to make sure that even though she was unarmed, this officer was justified in having to use deadly force. No matter the crime, deadly force should be the last resort, even if the person just raped and murdered six children, but yes sometimes deadly force being used as a last resort is the first resort because of emergency circumstances where it was a life and death situation, immediate danger, and was the only solution. I wanted to know if this was a case of that. We know police in the States are constantly shown to be woefully under and poorly trained, where a lot of them panic, shoot first, and ask questions later. I wanted to know if this was a case of that or not. I asked my question because it didn't seem like there was much discussion about an unarmed woman being killed by a police officer, and perhaps there was some context I was missing of the situation. I did not know that was the last hallway separating the rioters from the room where the politicians were hiding in. That's good to know. Adds perspective. Perhaps I did have a bad take, or didn't word my question the best I could, but don't imply I'm arguing in bad faith, or some right wing idiot going "durr this is the same as the BLM rioters". We are far too quick to jump down each other's throats on this board and start arguments for stupid shit. That's what drives some people away. If I'm wrong about something then educate me, don't belittle me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 One last comment on the woman getting shot... let's not view this in a vacuum. Those Cops guarding that door were LITERALLY the last line of defense between that Mob and getting to Congress Members. All of the other tactics discussed in @Brick's lengthy post (Baton, Pepper Spray, etc.) had been deployed and FAILED at that point. The Rioters had beaten several cops, KILLING one and non-lethal force was STILL being deployed. Again... it's a wonder, and a egregious security failure to be honest, that shots had NOT been fired when we know Cops have deployed lethal force in FAR less serious situations and justifiable encounters. To question whther or not THIS shooting was justified strains credulity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To question whther or not THIS shooting was justified strains credulity. The one thing that I find interesting to watch is the contemplation of the one officer in the video. Just watching his finger go back and forth in the moments of deliberation on if he will shot this person. You don't even have to see anything else but the hand to tell that while he didn't want to shot anyone, there was the real thought that it had to be done. In the end I don't believe that was the officer that fired the shot that killed the traitor to the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Steen said the exact same thing this morning on his show. He goes on to say, when the cloud loosened on these woman who followed his word. They couldn’t believe how idiotic they were to follow him. Here’s hoping for the same on all Trumpers, but I think there’s a deeper darker evil there that just needs to be wiped off the face of the earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
