We simply train personnel in the use of firearms, give them uniforms and authority, and have them patrol the streets. If we did this, gun violence would disappear. We could call these people police...oh. They really just need to be able to gun down whomever with complete impunity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a criminal that they were serving a warrant on. Started as a drug activity call. He's barricaded himself inside the building. They've called him and he's answered but won't say anything. My guess is he's scared and panicking because he knows he's fucked. Hopefully he finds some sense and gives himself up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclumber1 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 They should send in the prison guards from Epstein's jail block. The perp would probably just end up choking himself to death. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 The issue was the police did not have enough guns, and the guy was playing GTA Online the entire time making him highly trained and nearly invincible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 The "struggle" was probably the taking him alive part. They probably could have shot the dude and called it a day a long time ago. But then everyone would be mad they shot the black guy and not the white guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea the guy on Twitter is saying, though -- that arming your 9th grade social studies teacher isn't going to make your kids safer and will likely make that gun more likely to be stolen by some kid -- is still a good point.

I don't support the good guys with guns argument, I just don't think we should be using it here. They could have pretty easily justified just shooting this guy, and like you I'm glad they were able to take him into custody alive. Then again, this is a low bar to clear, being happy the police did their damn job instead of just shooting someone to easily get out of it.

Slug Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 FWIW there's also a world of difference between a shooter walking around in the open versus one that has self-barricaded inside a house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I hate that “by the grace of God” bullshit. I guess God said “fuck those assholes” that were killed in El Paso, Dayton, Gilroy, and any other place shootings have happened where people were killed. I guess God hates, Mexicans, garlic enthusiasts, children, etc, but LOVES cops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarSolo Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Notice he didn’t say anything like this about the El Paso Shooter or the Dayton Shooter. It’s almost as if there’s something different about the Philly shooter, but I’m in the black about what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaladinSolo Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 So which DA is at fault for officers being ambushed in Missouri? https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/16/us/missouri-shooting-standoff/index.html A standoff in a home near Van Buren is ongoing, said Missouri Highway Patrol Lt. Collin Stosberg. Officers and deputies were attempting to talk to a man in the house when he surprised them with gunfire, the state patrol said in a statement. One Carter County deputy and a trooper were wounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
