It is sad that the guy died, and that police officer was a ****.

But, death by misadventure is a real thing when you do crime, restraining people can get tricky, takedowns can get messy.

Punish the culprits, both the criminals and the police that take things past reasonable force.

Reasonable force wasn't kneeling on his neck, that guy was down and ready to be shipped.

Years ago I worked security at a hospital in the city, drunks, drug addicts and theives were my bread and butter, you needed to take them down fast and hard, more than occasionally you needed to hurt them to keep them down, more than occasionally they ended up broken and bloody.

They were of all races and nationalities.

I treated them all with equal vigor, you never knew when the knives would come out or the drugs would kick in, so alot of things by misadventure were reported when the investigations took place.

I can tell you something though, every nurse, doctor or general patient was happy that the situation was dealt with the way it was.

The only people who complained were the criminals.

My point is really when you are dealing with criminals you need to go in hard and fast because the time you don't, you end up beated, or stabbed.

I did my share of stays in a hospital bed after dealing with some idiot/s.

This is the risk assessments that go thru a police officers head everytime they make an arrest, do they go in hard, or is this the time they end up in hospital or don't go home to their family.

99% of the protesters have never needed to take someone down to protect the innocent or apprehended a criminal so they don't know the inherent risks that the police deal with on a daily basis.

Me, I say go in hard, better to be safe than sorry.

The alternative is what?

TOO MUCH RATIONALIZATION. WE'RE HERE TO BE IRATE. CAN'T YOU BE IRATE ABOUT IT

There is more than enough of stupid, by me and others, going on in here to get your fill of idiots.

Plus even pictures sometimes as well.

Pity you actually see all the crayons that get eaten by me and the other idiots.

If you want to hate car people even more go check out Corvette forums, I haven't been there in a few months but damn, probably makes this place look like UC Berkeley.

I smoked on a Berkeley sidewalk while wearing an assault rifle tee shirt once. That did not go over well at all! And that wasn't even on the campus.

I'm actually trying to find a old jap car to build now, so my attitude may change again.

I've pretty much finished the refresh of that old SS now anyway.

She's is all camed up and tuned, shift kitted, 3.91 rear, all the suspension has been done, bushings, rims and rubber, new hoses, ps reservoir, new coolant expansion tank, serviced every oil and fluid and I even threw in a headunit so I can blue toorh the phone.

It's a comfy old cruiser with all the mod cons.

Wow, that’s very cool. This is a lot of work, well done!

That's about as long as I had a Facebook account, not long after they opened it up for non-college use. OK, it was more than 2 minutes but less than 24 hours.

There is nothing redeeming there that I can see. I also have never had a Twitter account, nor any other social media except LinkedIn and I only have that because it is almost a requirement any more for a job search.

It has gotten just about as bad as Facebook in terms of unwanted solicitations and advertising and I have considered taking down my page. Once I retire, I most likely will.

This site, and a couple of similar ones covering for other hobbies, is as close to social media as I come.
