That's 100% idiocy, or lies. Rayshard is the one that started the fight, he was the one that started the shooting, he was the one that was passed out drunk in the Wendy's drive-thru lane. What did the cops do first?

1) You don't have the right to steal a gun from a cop and shoot it at them 2) Tell that to Dzeikanski, who died at YVR from Tasers, 2B) tasers aren't meant to hit people in the neck or face 3) He shot at them. They had guns. It was a stupid moment in time. The escalation factor was completely jacked and unnecessary.

One thing that is worth mentioning here, is that the policeman threatened him with a taser several times before Rayshard started running. The significance of that can't be overstated. The police didn't even want to use a taser, on his leg. They threatened him with that. I think it's outrageous that people think they wanted to kill him but they wouldn't even taser his leg if they didn't have to.

Would it be true if I said "An escaping felon shot at police and police returned fire, killing him?" By your standards it is, 100%. 1) Rayshard committed a felony assault when he attacked the police 2) he was running/escaping 3) he did shoot at the police (a taser). So, just like CTV checked a few boxes (he was running, and he got shot, bullets hit his back) and went with that as a description of the event, I also checked some boxes that were all true and went with it as a description of the event. CTV completely ignored the fact that he shot a taser at the moment he himself was shot. That's disgustingly inaccurate. Only a total god-damned moron would fail to notice the massive gap between the truth of the matter and what CTV reported, if they saw the video themselves.

There's a gray area where cops have to make a monumental decision in the heat of the moment and it's just a really bad idea to put a human in that position. Rayshard was a known felon the second he attacked the officers, he was armed with the taser, he attacked officers with the taser, it was just a super-stupid thing to do. If that taser hit the other cop in the face and he got zapped it could do a lot of damage. We should all put tasering cops on the list of things not to do imo.

I don't know, tbh. I personally wouldn't worry about it, but it's just covid. IMO sunshine (UV) is great for killing viruses. I'd trust it to kill covid from 20' but not Ebola lol.

That was because of the breathalyzer. He blew into it, the cop waited for the reading, and as soon as it said .108 he started to go into handcuff mode. I doubt it. He was holding the guy's arm in one hand and handcuffs in the other. The camera came off instantly when the fight started. There's usually more than one cop with a camera, plus cameras in the cars.... If a cop ever got caught intentionally removing their camera they'd be screwed. Nah. They have to give a sobriety test, in addition to the breathalyzer. He could be high on weed, not just booze. In Canada you can blow under .07and still be impaired - the physical tests are important. The guy could also have .04 alcohol in his blood but have THC in there as well, which would make him really wasted. That part was just evidence gathering.

Police are trained to shoot for center of body mass. They're just using pistols to hit moving targets, it's really easy to miss if you aim for someone's leg and they're standing still. Forget about hitting the leg of a guy who's running. If you miss someone's leg and the bullet bounces up off a sidewalk ad kills a 7 yr old that's completely unacceptable. I know that Biden talked about aiming for the legs, but Biden is a total idiot.

Man, that's just hard to watch, knowing how it ends. He seems like such a nice guy. I don't know wtf he was thinking.

Agreed. It will be pretty hard to train police officers to allow themselves to get punched in the face and then shot at with a taser, and not fire back. Even if you trained police for that exact scenario, I bet that a certain % just shoot. How much abuse can a cop be expected to take at their workplace? The taser could have hit that guy's partner in the face. He could have lost an eye, there's a small chance that it could have been fatal if it was a headshot, it was extremely dangerous. I can see the cop getting fired, mainly because of the timing of it, but the media is being grossly negligent by not putting the message out here: Don't steal a taser and then shoot it at the cops. I put a lot of the blame for this death squarely on MSM for their constant fear-mongering against the police. Young black men should be terrified, based on what they hear on CNN and CTV.

Ooooh, she has a quote that's not ignorant & inflammatory. That must mean that everything she says is so positive. Thanks MH. Actually guess what Einstein: Hitler probably has some cute cuddly quotes and he probably brought flowers home for his mommy sometimes when he was a kid. It doesn't make his more sinister messages to the public any less revolting. Your post was meaningless and your childish insult is just a measure of your own character. Her quote was indefensible. She was talking to high school kids and advocating for anger, and focused anger. There was no talk about how to stay safe if you're involved with the police. No talk about the need for calm and to let justice run it's course. She just talked to potentially millions of kids and the message they came away with was stay mad, or get even madder. You and eyeball can start your own chat forum where you can talk about how important it is to incite anger & fear of the police in young black kids, and the shock and horror of the worst genocide in the history of the world (30 people back in 1692). IE, your divisive bullshit will be unnoticed by the general public and you can lie all you want, unquestioned. You won't even need your blankie/soother. It won't be like here where your childish bullshit gets squashed all the time.

Good comeback eyeball. We both know that if you had a single fact you'd spit it out. Sad fact is that you're left making sandbox insults instead of debating because your track record for being correct is somewhere south of 0%

What does it matter whose search history results are being spammed with garbage by Google? The point is that they're doing it.

According to their own lawyers, this is why the CBC is suing: LMAO. As if the people who were too stupid to know about CBC's bias were ever in danger of learning anything. https://thepostmillennial.com/taxpayer-funded-cbc-will-not-disclose-their-legal-costs-in-lawsuit-against-conservative-party?fbclid=IwAR2tDAx8WDHXsSQAaBxwU7-kDnj3o4lhXqdY5IvxxmgqVJPWc5tRZv2VIeU

He failed a field sobriety test and then resisted arrest, stole a taser, ran away and when he pointed the taser at the police he got shot. MSM is quick to ignore the fact that he attacked police officers, they only see the end result and act like there was no good reason for the shooting. Too bad so sad Rayshard. You were an idiot, and now instead of paying for a DUI ticket you're pushing up daisies. CTV just said "He was running from the police and got shot in the back. CTV is pure filth.

Currency in the CHAZ: 1 Weed 2 Meth 3 Cheezies 4 New TVs 5 BLMCards & AntifaCards (New credit cards that look like bricks, made out of brick. You insert them into the window of any store. Unlimited credit.)

Worth noting that when CTV first tweeted this, the whole angry confrontation at the front was edited out. Those snakes did everything they could to make this look worse than it was. Here's the official version of the details from the world's foremost expert on climate change, race relations in America, Coronavirus and now Canadian law: https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/very-disturbing-to-see-greta-thunberg-speaks-out-on-video-of-chief-allan-adam-s-rcmp-arrest-1.4982917 There ya have it ya frickin' buncha idjits! NONE OF YOU HAD THE RIGHT ANSWER! It was "shameful abuse". Book 'em Danno.

I agree with everything you said, but the punch when he was on the ground needs some explanation in my opinion. The Cheif's an old drunk guy. There were two big cops there. Not to say that for sure that was abuse, but there's a chance it was and if so, it was against a senior citizen. Just total speculation - side note - - unrelated - I've heard cops say, in defence of female cops being on the force, that they bring a different energy/perspective/solution set to the table sometimes. I wonder if this is an instance where a female cop arriving at the scene might have resulted in a better outcome. Does that make me insane?

If a meteor hits the CHAZ I'll run out and buy a stack of bibles.

Exactly. Just like that liberal turd in Minneapolis who cheered the destruction of low-income housing with the tweet "BURN THAT SHIT DOWN!!!!!!!! BURN IT ALL DOWN!!!!!!" and then called the cops when the rioters got too close to his own precious home.

Everyone knows that it's a big deal that CNN is keeping their moronic viewers in the dark. It's just funny to see how happy they are to be there.

You're watching a propaganda video and intentionally disregarding all common sense to believe it. Surely you must understand that force has been used to strip people of their rights to operate their businesses and to have the protection of the police, which they pay for, in their homes? The people who own homes and businesses there are American citizens with inalienable rights who will be able to sue the City of Seattle and the Washington State Gov't if they don't take action to remedy this promptly. I hope that they sue the Mayor and the Governor personally. It might be a possibility if they're acting outside of their constitutional obligations.

China has taken over the #1 spot as the most dangerous country in the world to do business with. At the time that he took out the mortgages it probably didn't seem like a big deal but it is now. He needs to get rid of those ASAP, even if it means that he has to sell his properties.

I don't think any of them will face trial, unless something too big to ignore comes up in a trial against Strzok or some other low-level player. I think that Schiff may have to step down as the Chair of the House Intel Committee. That's as far as that will go. I'd like to see some sharp progress made against Biden after the election, and Trump is POTUS for another 4 years. It's a joke that Joe Biden didn't have to at least answer for why his son was so blatantly profiting from Joe's official government business overseas. If the Chinese gov't invests $1.5B with the Trump family businesses you know that the Dems will be apoplectic. But they dealt with Joe Biden's son, so the Dems are equally insistent that no investigation should be done. They're pure scum and their sycophant, idiot horde is no better.

Nailed it. I worked with a Jamaican guy for about 8 years. Knew him pretty well. He talked about racism once in a blue moon. I don't think he was really affected by it. His wife was white and they had been together for a long time. I knew him from about '95 to 2003. Anyhow, one day he started to talking to me about gays in Jamaica. "We don't have gays in Jamaica because if we find out anyone's gay we just beat the fuck out of them." He thought it was funny. I said "Why is being gay any different than being black or white"? He seemed like he was about to get really mad for a second and he said "WTF do you mean b that?" I said something like: People are born to be gay, or born to white/black and there's nothing you can do about it. It's just luck. About 5% of the population is gay. Why is it any different to beat them up for being gay than it is to beat up a black person? Two takeaways: 1) I was kind of offended that he'd think I was down with gay bashing, 2) I thought it was ironic that he could so strongly identify with how bad racism was to him and yet he'd think it was ok to be bigoted against gays. Made me think about "First they came for the __________s and I wasn't a _______ so I didn't say anything....." I worked in the trades with quite a few gay people, one of them said to me "I hate rich people". I could tell he thought that it would be a popular topic, I didn't think it made much sense, so I asked him why he hated all rich people. He said: "What have they ever done for me?" I asked what he had ever done for them. He had nothing. Why is it any different to hate all rich people than it is to hate all gay people? Now the LGBTQ community is banning police from the gay parade in VCR again, and allowing BLM. Makes me wonder, when gay people were being beaten up for no good reason, did they call on black terrorists or did they call the police? I bet they called the police. Sorry gay people, you've lost my support entirely. If there's a petition to cancel the gay parade I'll sign it. I don't appreciate your discrimination against police.
