And, was the thug thief in Ferguson that got shot, was he religious? LOL!!! How about the rioters. Are they religious? The Crips and the Bloods, are they religious? And, in Baltimore, most of the police that were involved were black. The chief is black as so is the mayor. There is so much stupidity that goes into justifying rioters.
Itâs true grasshopper. Some people just arenât religious. Just about everyone of them I know looks like mother Teresa compared to you though.
The ignorance I see is by people who are quick for formulate an opinion about an incident, and then discredit evidence if it doesnât support their own opinion.
Here is a Chris Rock public service announcement⌠Pardon the languageâŚ
How Not to Get your Arse Kick by the Police
Yeah Russ, apparently that doesnât work if youâve actually watched some of these recent police videos. Several people have been shot in the back while running away, a couple (including an old lady) were beaten to death that werenât even struggling. A couple guys were choked to death while lying on the ground. A 13 year old kid in a park got shot for playing with a toy gun in a public park and the cops didnât warn him or say a single word to him. He was dead within two seconds after the cops pulled up! Did the guy that got dragged into the police car screaming because theyâd severed his spine do something wrong? They canât even tell us what he was arrested for! If I were black, I wouldnât have a clue how to react to police presence, and would just try to stay as far away from them as possible. Iâm so grateful for white privilege so I donât have to deal with it. All the more reason I feel some kind of responsibility to fight injustices like this. I have no doubt whatsoever that if most white people spent one week dealing with the things blacks deal with daily theyâd be singing a completely different tune. And if you want to bring up Chris Rock, you should look at a few more things heâs said besides this little comedy bit that makes white people feel better.
Do you think Mother Teresa was okay with sin? You might want to do your homework first. People of faith lover the sinner but hate the sin. Mother Teresa never backed down from her vows to her God. Nor did she have distain for her Priesthood leaders like I see KC have. Fact is, she was very outspoken about keeping all the commandments. I taught at a Catholic School for 16 years.
What leftist liberals donât like are people with faith in God and actually believe the Father, Son and Holy Ghost exist. The reason is in the Declaration of Independence. âWe are endowed by our creator with unalienable rights.â Jefferson crafted this and as you see, wasnât so against the idea of a real God, a Creator. Rights by God, not government. Madison stressed the need to protect unalienable rights in the Constitution Bill of Rights. Yet, god-hating people infect our government in order to destroy the 1st amendment which includes the right to believe based on our own conscience. To destroy the right to freely speak our conscience against sin.
You try to act like you are all high and mighty good. But, you are just a puppet in the hands of Satan. I would sincerely advise that you get out of his employment
MH: Yeah Russ, apparently that doesnât work if youâve actually watched some of these recent police videos. Several people have been shot in the back while running away, a couple (including an old lady) were beaten to death that werenât even struggling. A couple guys were choked to death while lying on the ground. A 13 year old kid in a park got shot for playing with a toy gun in a public park and the cops didnât warn him or say a single word to him. He was dead within two seconds after the cops pulled up!
SG: Iâm sure you donât have even a fraction of the facts in each case. The policeman that shot the man running has been charged with murder. And, any other event where there was not justified homicide they are being charged with a crime. The guy who was choked to death was fighting and needed to be subdued. Choke holds are a part of procedure. When I was in Police Science, we went over how to do a proper choke hold. Each student who was choked unconscious had to give their permission first. Thatâs back in 1973 when I took that class. I already knew how to do the chokes as I was a black belt at that time. It was dangerous then and it still is. But, itâs either them or you. Heâs going for the officerâs gun, I see no reason not to choke him out. Police are to protect the public from dangerous people while not getting killed while doing it. 13 year old kids in the dark can look like adults. The âtoyâ gun appeared real to the officer. You, as an officer, have to make a life and death decision in a fraction of a second. You donât have time to ask the punk if itâs a toy gun or a real gun with real bullets. How stupid can you get.
MH: Did the guy that got dragged into the police car screaming because theyâd severed his spine do something wrong? They canât even tell us what he was arrested for!
SH: The Washington Post came out with a witness in the van that said the man was slamming himself against the inside of the van. He was trying self-inflict himself. Perhaps he rammed his head into the van and broke his own neck. They say that they wonât release the autopsy. I think thatâs a mistake. The truth should be revealed. But, like many of the Crips and Bloods, you rush to judgment. This one had nothing to do with the color of his skin. It was black police officers mainly involved. Typical liberal rushing to judgment.
MH: If I were black, I wouldnât have a clue how to react to police presence, and would just try to stay as far away from them as possible. Iâm so grateful for white privilege so I donât have to deal with it. All the more reason I feel some kind of responsibility to fight injustices like this. I have no doubt whatsoever that if most white people spent one week dealing with the things blacks deal with daily theyâd be singing a completely different tune. And if you want to bring up Chris Rock, you should look at a few more things heâs said besides this little comedy bit that makes white people feel better.
SG: If you were a white thug, dealing and doing drugs along with other crimes, you would have to deal with it too. You arenât fighting anything but your own rush to judgment and faulty conclusions. How about spending more time helping to fix what has been a liberal progressive movement for decades in inner-cities. The blame goes to the democrat liberals who have controlled the poverty and caused break ups of families in the black community. 67% births into a single-parent situation. Why? Because more handouts available to both the mom and dad!!! Socialism stinks and creates more poverty and inner-city poverty and crime. Work on that before you try to condemn police who most of them are good people actually trying to protect and serve. Every organization whether itâs business, government, charity, church or anything else has bad apples. Itâs called life in the real world. And, it wonât change until the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord gave us free agency to choose between good and evil. The consequences of our actions affect our outcomes and our children and grandchildren.
It seems like youâre the one short on facts:
"The policeman that shot the man running has been charged with murder. "
Yes, because the whole thing was caught on camera, both the baseless murder, and the planting of drugs and a taser to justify it after the fact. When the police didnât know that they had been caught on camera they concocted a huge series of lies that would have worked perfectly, and does in the vast majority of cases. Even in this case which is obviously nothing but a brutal murder, Iâm actually surprised that this guy has been charged, and I wonât be a bit surprised if he gets off scott free. Thatâs the way the justice system usually works in this country.
"And, any other event where there was not justified homicide they are being charged with a crime. "
Right! More than 76 black people have been shot under very suspicious circumstances since 1996. There were no convictions in any of these cases. Do a little research.
"The guy who was choked to death was fighting and needed to be subdued. Choke holds are a part of procedure. "
Like most of the crap that comes out of your mouth this sentence could hardly be more wrong. We have video evidence of two different cases where the guy was on the ground begging to be allowed to breathe and not struggling one bit. And choke holds have been outlawed for decades. You really just spout anything that comes into your head donât you?
â13 year old kids in the dark can look like adults. The âtoyâ gun appeared real to the officer. You, as an officer, have to make a life and death decision in a fraction of a second. You donât have time to ask the punk if itâs a toy gun or a real gun with real bullets. How stupid can you get.â
Apparently its possible to get really really stupid, as anyone who has read your posts could attest. There was no danger to the officers at all. None, nada, zip. The poor kid didnât even see them before he was gunned down. If the cops are that big of cowards they need to find a different profession. By the way, after they shot him they beat on his sister for awhile for crying over his dead body. Stupid is right! You get my vote for biggest ignoramus on the planet.
âThe Washington Post came out with a witness in the van that said the man was slamming himself against the inside of the van. He was trying self-inflict himself.

Yes, the police are doing what they always do in these cases. Leaking false information and trying to taint any potential juror they can, and the stupid press plays along. Expect to hear a bunch of trumped up nonsense next about how evil the guy is, as if this has anything to do with anything. If your stupid enough to believe that a guy broke his own spine on purpose (what am I even saying - of course you are) I donât know what to tell you. The autopsy report will put that to rest very quickly and theyâll have to release that at some point, so Iâm willing to give anyone 3 to 1 odds that wants to bet that the report shows he couldnât possibly have done it himself. Any takers? (Its interesting to see the thinly veiled racism here. Would anyone ever suggest that a white guy broke his own spine given this set of facts? I seriously doubt it!)
As for the last paragraph, all I can say is that it speaks for itself. Are you even real or are you a performance artist? I wish the latter, but Iâd bet on the former unfortunately.

Oh, and I didnât say Mother Teresa was ok with sin. You kind of missed the point. What I said was every single person I know that doesnât believe in God looks like Mother Teresa compared to you. I wouldnât say this to anyone else, but since youâre so free with your thoughts Iâll make an exception. You think youâre righteous, but youâre not. I think youâre a pretty evil person and Iâm pretty sure Jesus feels the same way. I imagine you act the way you do out of pure fear, so I do feel some pity for you.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzâŚ
Somebody wake me when these two (kc and sg) are done with their nonsense.
At the point that the cop fired his gun, the suspect was not a threat. The cop should not have pulled the trigger and the cop should not have tried to cover it up. The cope knew that he was in the wrong. He committed murder and attempted to cover it up by moving the taser.
This is not a white cop vs black suspect issue. This is an ongoing issue with cops shooting people, dogs, etc. Cops are not above the law. They either need to follow the law or go to jail.
SG: "The policeman that shot the man running has been charged with murder. "
MH: Yes, because the whole thing was caught on camera, both the baseless murder, and the planting of drugs and a taser to justify it after the fact. When the police didnât know that they had been caught on camera they concocted a huge series of lies that would have worked perfectly, and does in the vast majority of cases. Even in this case which is obviously nothing but a brutal murder, Iâm actually surprised that this guy has been charged, and I wonât be a bit surprised if he gets off scott free. Thatâs the way the justice system usually works in this country.
SG: Conjecture. No facts. Simple twisting of opinions by MH to see everything as black and white.
"And, any other event where there was not justified homicide they are being charged with a crime. "
MH: Right! More than 76 black people have been shot under very suspicious circumstances since 1996. There were no convictions in any of these cases. Do a little research.
SG: Conjecture based on liberal haters of authority. Just baseless opinions.
"The guy who was choked to death was fighting and needed to be subdued. Choke holds are a part of procedure. "
MH: Like most of the crap that comes out of your mouth this sentence could hardly be more wrong. We have video evidence of two different cases where the guy was on the ground begging to be allowed to breathe and not struggling one bit. And choke holds have been outlawed for decades. You really just spout anything that comes into your head donât you?
SG: All he had to do is comply. You should be blaming the Mayor since heâs the one that demanded police go and collect fines for those selling those cigarettes. Choke holds are not outlawed. Anymore than shooting an armed gunman is. If you knew anything about the hold he was applying, it was by the book according the the NYPD. Had he complied with the officers, they would have handcuffed him and taken him in. You just want to see what you want to see. Just because someone is yelling they want to breathe doesnât mean he wasnât still resisting arrest. He was.
â13 year old kids in the dark can look like adults. The âtoyâ gun appeared real to the officer. You, as an officer, have to make a life and death decision in a fraction of a second. You donât have time to ask the punk if itâs a toy gun or a real gun with real bullets. How stupid can you get.â

SG: Of course not. It was a toy gun. But, the officer didnât know it was. That was just a really stupid response MH. And, you are not correct about him not seeing the officer. Were you there? Another attempt to conjecture your opinions you heard on MSNBC.
âThe Washington Post came out with a witness in the van that said the man was slamming himself against the inside of the van. He was trying self-inflict himself.

anyone ever suggest that a white guy broke his own spine given this set of facts? I seriously doubt it!)
SG: Once again, short of facts and big on conjecture and loose opinions. The WAPO got it from the other guy in the van. But, that would go against your conspiracy crap. Somewhere, you have developed a hatred for police. Well, next time you need the police, call the thug criminal instead. See what happens.
MH: Oh, and I didnât say Mother Teresa was ok with sin. You kind of missed the point. What I said was every single person I know that doesnât believe in God looks like Mother Teresa compared to you.
SG: You mean like Mao, Hitler, Stalin, Obama, MikeH You actually did say in your own way that we all should be okay with sin since God doesnât exist to you.
MH: I wouldnât say this to anyone else, but since youâre so free with your thoughts Iâll make an exception. You think youâre righteous, but youâre not. I think youâre a pretty evil person and Iâm pretty sure Jesus feels the same way. I imagine you act the way you do out of pure fear, so I do feel some pity for you.
SH: No, you think I think Iâm righteous. My statements concerning homosexual acts are in defense of the Church and God. Because society has determined that some sins arenât sins doesnât mean God has decided so. What you think Iâm not going to catch on to is that you and other liberal leftists who hate God because he has set forth doctrines and commandments to be lived are using the gay marriage issue to change the Constitution or completely ignore it and silencing religious beliefs. This has nothing to do with me and whether Iâm righteous or not. I could care less what you think about that. But, I wonât stay quite while you and others attack the Church and the Constitution.
I think you pretty much see yourself as the last bastion of defense between God and evil, so you yell and scream about anyone that isnât exactly like you. You imagine that God is looking down on you and going, âawesome job SH! You might sound like an idiot but you sure told him!â I find that hilarious. I may not be tremendously religious, but I do know what the basics of religion entail. Everything boils down to loving your fellow man, according to Jesus. In fact he taught that you should even love your enemies and this is the hardest thing for any of us to do. You donât even think you have to try! You think youâre going to get to heaven by following a specific set of rules! From my perspective though, those rules are pretty arbitrary, so good luck to you. Iâm going back to ignoring you now.
No one has to be me. Where do you get that from? Iâve never fought against gays having basic rights. Marriage isnât a right. Neither is driving a car. life, Liberty and the pursuit of property are rights. But freedom isnât free. It comes with rules. Are you ready for polygamy marriages? Because itâs coming.
As far as what Jesus taught, you are so ignorant. He said to FIRST love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, mind and strength. That means to keep his commandments first. That means do not go out of your way to sin and also justify your sins. The Prophets and Apostles have spoken on this issue. Marriage in the eye of the Godhead is between heterosexual couples and never homosexual couples. You only want to follow what is convenient to you.
By the way, love doesnât mean supporting sinners by helping them to sin. Thatâs actually hate.
I agree with you
Did you bother to look at the link to see where they were talking about that the suspect fired the cops taser at him?
If you look at the original video, just as the suspect starts running, something is thrown at the cop that looks like the taser gun. Still, and Iâve said this before, they did the right thing in charging the cop, and if the suspect did fire the cops taser, it doesnât give the cop the right to fatally shoot him.
How does this have anything to do with my statement about ignorance? Weâve all seen the video, but it turns on just as the event started. Nothing just before can be cleanly seen. So, before you start a lynch mod, maybe you should wait to see what all eventually comes out?
Yes, I looked at the link. Yes, I saw that they said the suspect fired the cops taser. The cop had every right to be pissed off. However, as you agreed, just like when I get pissed off in traffic, the cop doesnât have the right to shoot the suspect simply because he is pissed off. He then compounded the mistake by moving the taser. Up till then, he probably avoids jail time. He shouldnât, but he probably would have. By moving the taser, he fundamentally changed the crime scene and indicated, among other things, lack of remorse, disdain for the law and arrogance. He became at that moment a common criminal rather than someone who just did a dumb thing.
I donât know Russ. It just seems to me a lot of ignorance is being spread on this thread. People like SH are hopeless, but surely modern Christians should understand that the Bible SH uses to spread his hate is nothing more than the product of a thousands of years old sheep herder culture, not a guide to living your life in the 21st century! The Bible should be respected for the same reason all of the myths from various cultures should be respected, but when people use it to claim that God demands worship and needs his butt kissed every two seconds, I just kind of lose respect for that viewpoint.
The ignorance Iâm talking about is expressed in the implicit assumption that any evidence that indicts a cop when black people are involved is suspect. Even when there is direct video evidence thereâs always an excuse. Just read back over this thread. This attitude is legion. I think this link says it better than I could. Please read it with an open mind, and dare I say âprayerfullyâ and see if you can still maintain the belief that black people are treated by the police the same way white people are treated, or if as SG believes, any black person that has a confrontation with the police is a thug that gets whatever they deserve.
