Cricket is fucking great to play, at least from a batsman's pov. Smacking the shit out of a ball is fun. I never enjoyed bowling, and fielding is a bit boring. Watching it can be boring, depends who's playing and at what standard. When it's England vs Australia in the Ashes, it's awesome. That's happening later in the summer. Fucking sweet. | |

IDK the laws in Boulder, CO, but according to the link, the cop "violated 2 dept. policies," (unstated) and the (a?) city attorney said it "does not represent the professionalism of the Boulder Police Department." | |

All evidence to the contrary. Your prior post in point. If you think I said that guy "should" have had a gun and drawn it on the cop, then you're actively ignoring what I've said. It's all there. You can go read it again. | |

MMM, 90% of what you've been saying on this topic is that you have been very smart and very well spoken and have made great points, and that everyone who doesn't agree with that is too dim to understand. You haven't actually made a single argument against stricter gun laws that I haven't addressed. But instead of giving me a counter argument you simply dismiss it by claiming I misunderstood, or that you've addressed this in the past. You have never addressed the question whether or not you want less strict gun laws and why. This is possibly the single most important question for me to understand your position. | |

Both of those guys are idiots. At first, when the guy refused to give his address, it seemed like he was an illegal and was trying to evade detection. It's completely understandable that the cop persisted. Should the cop have backed down? That would be weak as fuck. Guy says he's not doing anything wrong and refuses to cooperate, cops simply accepts that? Not at all. Cop rightfully will be asking himself why this guy is so uncooperative. Was there racial profiling going on? Maybe, idk, would the cop have challenged a white guy? I haven't got a clue, and neither has anyone else. Only the cop knows if he's looked at the guy and thought "he's black, let's question him". I doubt that's what the cop thought, but maybe he did, idk. | |

To give the cop some credit he never raised his voice. Most of them on videos I've seen start shouting orders right off the bat. He still had no reason to draw a weapon though. The guy wasn't going to impale him with a garbage picker from twenty feet away ffs. | |

Assuming the cop didn't just make that whole trespassing shit up...or that the trespassing in question was six months ago. | |

p.s. No cop ever admitted to me he was stopping me just to be a dick. Some of the excuses I got were "Just a random check." (on someone walking down the street?) or "We had a report of a break and enter." (I'm sure you did. So why are you stopping me and no-one else walking down the street?) or "Someone reported their walkman missing. Is that yours? Do you have a receipt?" (yea, cause I carry around a receipt for everything I own just to prove I didn't steal it. Hold on, it's in my wallet next to my receipt for my underwear. Fuck off). | |

btw, the cop says at the beginning "I saw you sitting on the patio behind the building and I also saw a no trespassing sign. So I just wanted to make sure you belong here." | |

In general, police officers have wide leeway to make on-the-spot decisions about what they are suspicious, but they still need a justifiable reason to be suspicious in order to stop and question a civilian. | |
| |
05-27-2019 12:39 PM
#5447

Yeah I mean I don't disagree with anything there. It's just that I can understand why the cop became suspicious. I did, I figured this guy was trying to hide something. If I were a cop, I'd want to keep questioning him. Whether I should have approached him in the first place, that's a different matter. | |

This needs to be called out more for exactly what it is. It's a cynical preemptive legal argument for the individual cop's lawyers and the police department's lawyers. Similarly "stop resisting!" is used while people being pinned down by multiple officers are beaten/tazed as a form of instant "justice." If video of the incident ever makes it to court, a jury will be predisposed to see the person as the bad actor because the audio is laced with a pro cop biased narrative. | |

So Mueller has come out in a public press conference now and said, basically "Read the fucking report. We couldn't indict him because he's a sitting president. We also couldn't clear him (hint, hint, wink, wink). Obstruction of justice is a serious offense. Congress, do your fucking job." | |

Correction, Western journalism is dead. It's exactly the same here. Remember Novichok? Something like "the sample was pure", meaning "impossible to have come from a door knob having been there for days in rain", spun as "military grade of the type developed by Russia". | |

Not sure what movie you guys are watching. The Mueller Report specifically mentions Russian interference. I mean, the reporter may have added that word where Mueller hadn't specifically said it at that moment, but really? You think that is fake news? | |

I can't be fucked to read it, I don't even care if he obstructed justice or whatever, but any talk of Russia is complete an utter bollocks. Anything I read in the MSM about Russia is immediately dismissed as propaganda, and I'm right at least 95% of the time. | |

If you're saying that yeah, of course he was talking about russian election interference, duh, I'm not retarded over here... but the reporter is "editorializing, or spinning the statement" to the extent that prompts you to proclaim "western journalism is dead" because he described the content of the statement rather than quoting him verbating... huh? That is how the press dies? By adding a word that doesn't change the meaning? | |

Yeah they are if you're going to say the reporter spun the story by quoting Mueller to say russian election interference, when Mueller clearly was talking about russian election interference. That is not spinning the story. To know how that qualifies as spinning the story, I need to know what you think it was spun from. | |

Then you must not know what "spin" means. It means putting a biased interpretation on a story. There's nothing 'spinny' about mentioning that Mueller was referring to Russian interference. That's what half the report was about. Everybody knows that. | |

I don't understand your goal here. This quote is from the context of me criticizing this police officer for participating in a wide spread systemic issue in policing. To bolster my point, I make it clear that I'm not an ACAB drooler. Being anti-cop is nonsensical. No one actually wants to live in a society without police. You might say the words, you might think you mean them-- but when you get down to the nuts and bolts, when you actually understand the implications, it's not what you want. | |
