yeah, this is some crazy shit. I wish that no one had to die here, and still think this could have possibly been resolved without fatalities, but there was no way no one was getting injured seriously.

in a perfect world, we're all kumbaya and nobody has to die of anything except old age.  in the real world, one's action determines the the probability of outcomes, and in 99% of cases where the some of the public feign outrage because someone got hurt, the outcome is fire and foremost driven by their own action.

why the fuck is this an 8 page thread already?

I dont want to see anyone get shot, and I sure as shit am not a fan of the cops, but what in the holy fuck is this thread doing being 8 pages already when this seems as righteous a shoot as a cop could have- literally saving another human from harm by someone who has shown a real willingness to impart harm on that person?

that's exactly representative of the zeitgeist, isn't it?  something that is pretty clear-cut justified, gets twisted and politicized to serve peoples narrative of injustice and brutality and blah blah blah.  

it's 8-pages here, but multiply that across social media and it's gargantuan in the national dialogue.  and it shouldnt be.  there ARE cases of police abuse and injustices and some bad cops who should be given due attention.  instead, people take ridiculous cases like this, and use it to smear the entire police force.

Yeaaaaaaahhhh, that's not even remotely what was going on in that situation.  Maybe Lebron should talk to the girl in pink, and get her take on the reality of the situation.  He might wanna get someone to check his work before he posts retractions in the future.

Yeah.....LeBron should shut up now.  I don't disagree with his broad message above.....but in the context of this incident, it's not helpful at all.  It's actually harmful.

I want objective standards of law and justice, equally applied to all.  That's a pitch that more and more people are actually buying.  Don't oversell it.

[52-80 19287]

His PR handlers took his first phone away and he decided to double down on the tweet.  Idiot.

You should also note that the overwhelming take here, including by MANY posters who have some big problems with cops, including racism among cops, is that this was a shitty situation, and a legally legit and justified shooting.  People who are no friends of the police are nonetheless judging their conduct fairly and objectively here.  And to the extent that they weren't in the immediate reporting, they sure did once the facts gelled.  That's a good thing.  It really is.

Ohh Lebron

[Message Board User 12397]

Reminder that in 2019 Lebron criticized Daryl Morey's solidarity with Hong Kong vs China, a country that actively utilizes concentration camps based on religion.

Meanwhile, LeBron probably has a security crew who will fuck anyone up who comes at him with a knife and bad intentions. 

[Message Board User 12397]

Not to be outdone, CBS News yall!

Considering that Bryant was the one swinging the knife, I'd be curious to know what "justice for Bryant" would look like? 

And this gem from the article - 3rd paragraph - "something" in her hand...I wonder what that could possibly be?  Any guesses?

Officers arrived on the scene at 4:44 p.m., Woods said. A slowed-down version of body camera footage appears to show Bryant attacking two other people, lunging at one with something in her hand, just after an officer arrived. The officer, identified by Woods as Nicholas Reardon, fired his weapon several times while Bryant and another girl were struggling against the side of a parked car. A knife could be seen next to Bryant's body after the shooting.

Nah. No profit in that. He’s interesting like that. Chinese people being killed actively speaks out against those who are for the oppressed. Profit. Idol to a ton of black kids and other people of color. Profit. Sensitive like a bitch against any criticism. Noted. Full of shit. Absolutely. One of the best damn basketball players we have ever seen. Yep. We really don’t need his voice now. Honestly.

Didn't they literally just set fire to their campus a few nights ago and turn over a dozen cars?  

I feel like we need an intervention with Ohio as a nation.  We need to sit them down, place our hand on their knee in a comforting fashion, and just gently let them know, "You see Ohio.....it's just that...we already have a Florida.  We're good.  We're all set."  

[Nicole44 22198]

They are just sitting there. Which is how a peaceful protest however misguided it may be is cool in my book.

They gotta burn more of the infrastructure so there will be more jobs which they are too biased to do.

He’s a frustrating person to follow. On one hand, few people have had more pressure foisted on them at such a young age and handled it so admirably while largely living up to the expectations. On the other hand, he’s a poorly informed man with a high school education that uses his platform and influence in ways that I find regrettable and hypocritical, but that’s his right. Today was definitely his worst turn though. 

[Message Board User 12397]

if the police wasn't there to stop the knife attack, it would have ended like this:

or this:

and it wouldn't be national news and none of the activists or Lebron would give a shit.

So we gotta tax people more to put more people through college  free so they will scoff at the building the infrastructure job plan thing so we have to bring in more people dying for a chance to live here from other countries to do the job our philosophy majors won’t do.

Vote for us! We got your back! (Just a theory) the other side is like let’s curtail everything. Isolate. Segregate. Mobilize and destroy anything that threatens our primary voter base.

i hate both parties and all the pandering bullshit. Anyone who believes government is anything other than a paid whore...like why? They don’t give two fucks about any of us.

why any intelligent individual would comment on the death of a minor female without have watched or seen the facts is as baffling to me as why I post here.

Slowed down version here - cop shot just as Bryant was about to swing the knife down on the girl in the pink.  Incredible timing and aim.

 

[TwiceHorn 31705]

It may have already been done, but I'm a fan of disarming police.  Therefore, I'm engaging in the thought experiment of what would have happened here had the cop been unarmed?

While the victim would have been cut or stabbed, I'm slightly skeptical that she would have received fatal injuries.  Would that have been suboptimal, sure.  But any more suboptimal than one of two dead girls?

In the Toledo case, apparently no one would be dead.

I don't know the exact answer, but it's a hypothetical that I'd like to see discussed.

sorry for my off topic. My fault! A moment of silence is indeed warranted for a life lost. Less than a minute of thought would enable people with common sense to see that while a life was lost it was necessary

If you were the one up against the car with this angry fatty with a knife, would you want the cop to have a firearm or a baton?

I’d take my chances with the firearm over a knife to my liver.
