That didn't look right.

He had a knife. but...

He didn't look very dangerous to me. "Less-lethal" would have been appropriate rather than nine shots from three feet away. I'll be surprised if this ends up being a justified shooting.

Seems “Freeze!”, “Stop!”, “Hold it!”, etc should be taught using flag cards. Folks just don’t comprehend their meanings any more.

Come on fellas the cop was scarred for his life. If that crippled old man could have got to an energy bar he could have turned into an olympian and slayed him.

That didn't look right. He had a knife. but...

I think that cop just wanted to shoot somebody. They could have piled stuff in front of the wheelchair to block him from rolling, A piece of rope from down the aisle could have contained the guy. Lasso him to his chair. They fired the cop; he needs to be in prison.

Well, the cop's name is Remington, so, there's that.

 

[gf beranek]

He was white.

Seems in these incidences the news has amnesia to that color.

If he was black... Lord save us, and the country.

 

[BlackSmith]

No gold plated casket for him.

That whole deal would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.

 

[Mellow]

Poor Jussie. My advice to him is to just move on. Don't beat yourself up over this.

 

[lxskllr]

Only plebes beat themselves up. Real rollers pay someone else to do it.

[flushcut]

That cop shooting is pretty effed up!

 

[gf beranek]

Devastating.

It's sure a good thing that most of the people there knew something was coming.

 

[lxskllr]

I don't understand.

 

[gf beranek]

That's pretty wild. What a piece of art!

And I can't help but wonder how it fits in with the UN initiative ?

 

[lxskllr]

Mixed beasts have been around for a long time. That's real close to a griffin, and they were a thing before Jesus. What I'm getting at, is I don't think a mixed beast now is more significant than it was at any other time.

 

[Mellow]

It's an odd thing to put outside the UN. Probably some kind of voodoo sorcery involved.
