Real courage personified. I note the lack of comments or reactions on any of my recent posts where the police are brutality ambushed. I do note Ruairi77s comment about too many guns in America. I agree with him wholeheartedly in this regards.

I would respect some other posters opinions a little more, if they were well rounded. Any sniff of a controversial incident there are comments galore. God bless the men and women of Law Enforcement and may St Michael watch over them all.

It's a vile act, and hopefully the perpetrator is found and punished. Not one person that your weird comment was aimed at would say otherwise

Precisely. There’s nothing controversial about this as far as I’m concerned. OBVIOUSLY police officers being shot in cold blood while sitting in their vehicle is abhorrent. I don’t think it’s fair to see no posts regarding this as some sort of endorsement of the guy actions from people in this forum. As I recall, most of the political discussion was fairly dead in here yesterday. It was a match day, a weekend, etc.

I refrained from posting anything about this yesterday because I didn’t really have time read into the whole thing, and pretty much just knew that two officers had been shot, and then Trump called for the death penalty in a Tweet.

I’m in complete agreement with both of you guys though. So, so, so many of the problems in this country can be traced back to the sheer number, and ease of access to firearms. But for whatever reason most people can’t seem to grasp that concept.

I tend to oppose murder on general principle.

But before you judge the shooter of the two police you should wait to hear more about the coppers' backgrounds. Did one shoplift candy as a child? Did the other smoke weed in high school? The long tradition of police shootings of unarmed citizens has taught me that these are important questions to ask before we judge whether a murder was a bad thing.

“Police shootings of unarmed civilians”. You state this is a long tradition. You make it sound like all police officers are driving around as if they are death squads executing people on the street randomly. This narrative is completely false. I’m sorry you feel this way although I respect your opinion regardless. Please provide me with one example where the police were not called to respond, where a crime had been committed, where they came across a crime in progress, or a weapon was implied or produced during a traffic stop.

I think it's called an awkward silence.

Your narrative of police officers operating as "death squads executing people on the street randomly" has no bearing on what I said, but it suggests your definition of unwarranted police violence requires a higher degree of organization than mine.

Please provide me with one example where the police were not called to respond, where a crime had been committed, where they came across a crime in progress, or a weapon was implied or produced during a traffic stop.

Abhorrent.

FFS, there's no awkward silence. If we were to comment on every unprovoked horrible shooting in this country, we'd be posting every minute.
That's the problem.

Botham Jean, Elijah McCain, Philando Castile, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice (12 years old), Atatiana Jefferson. They're just off the top of my head and ignoring your premise that murdering civilians is perfectly legit provided there was a call put in.

The difference in instances like with these two young officers is that we'd be happy to see the perpetrators found and locked up for life. Every time a black person gets shot by police, you're on here rationalising it or finding whatever dirt you can on the victim like the utter kopite toad you are

Not that it's a defence, but I'd imagine most shootings at police are in some kind of confrontation, i.e. trying to escape arrest.

There is no obvious reason for this. How many unprovoked shootings are there?

This was a murder and the off duty female cop was completely in the wrong and was sentenced to a lengthy custodian sentence. There was no defending her use of force against this innocent gentleman

Please tell me how brilliantly the police acted here and in what ways 23 year old autistic man Elijah McClain deserved to have the breath crushed out of him and pumped full of ketamine until he died you 'kin bellend.
