Quoted from CICERO


Guns in what car?  The video shows him on a bike on the news cast I watched.  But I won't be surprised if the story becomes he was selling nuclear weapons to ISIS.


My bad, I mistook his situation with someone else.
However, the commonality in all of these recent deaths? the victim ran or disobeyed police directives

LOL @ "Posting Rampage"!  

Cicero has a chip on his shoulder, and the chip grows into a log whenever he sees a figure of
authority... any figure of authority, no matter how legitimate he considers that authority to be.


All authority is legitimate.  That's how you climb to number 1 in highest incarceration rate in the world.  We just need a few more peaceful protests and maybe become number 1 in the HISTORY of the world.  That would really show people to "respect authori-tie!"

Really?  Are you attempting to justify and say it's a right for cops to physically abuse and kill people that run from them?  Or am I reading too much into your words?  Because that sounds a lot like a slave masters logic.

Presumption of guilt and automatic execution.

Disobeying in the targeted neighborhood equals death.

The real commonality is that none were proven guilty before execution.

Did I say it was the cops right to do it?? REALLY???!!!???!???!????

I'm talking about self-preservation....DEAD IS DEAD, in the end it really doesn't matter to the deceased whose fault it was, because they are still DEAD!

If I'm driving down the street with my nice shiny new car and I see someone using a leaf blower to clean the dirt off off of their driveway, do I:

Continue to drive right in their path and get the side of my car all scratched up?
or
turn around and find another way past him?

It would be his fault if my car got scratched up, but I still have to deal with the inconvenience... I can avoid that....its really that simple.

Bottom line, if these victims got a do over, they would have acted differently...
Self preservation means you do what you must.

A Baltimore PD "Rough Ride"

Quoted Text
While medical professionals said the level of damage to Gray's spinal cord—which
was 80 percent severed, with a crushed voice box—was the sort of injury that usually only
happened in a serious car accident, said Dr. Ali Bydon, a Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon.
It could have happened progressively, so that the fact that Gray could stand when he got into
the van proves nothing. "It can be a progressive, cumulative loss of function if the spinal cord
is unstable and unprotected," he said. "You don't need tremendous force to follow up on
further injury to the spine—a force you and me can take because we have stable necks,
but that an unstable neck cannot withstand."

............and here's what mr. moore had to say.............


Quoted Text
Michael Moore Issues Call To 'Disarm Police'



Michael Moore, the US documentarist and polemicist, has taken to Twitter to issue a call to "disarm the police" and free black inmates jailed "for drug 'crimes' or nonviolent offenses".

The comments by Moore - director of Oscar-winning Bowling For Columbine on gun violence and Fahrenheit 9/11 on the 2001 terror attacks - came amid a heated debate in America over race and the use of police force.

The death of Freddie Gray - who suffered spinal injury after his arrest and died on 19 April - has sparked riots in Baltimore and protests across America.

In the first of a series of tweets on Thursday, Moore said: "Imprison u, shoot u, sever your spine, crush your larynx, send u to war, keep u poor, call u a thug, not let u vote. But u can sing for us."

He went on to put forth his demand: "I want every African-American currently incarcerated for drug 'crimes' or nonviolent offenses released from prison today."

He added: "Next demand: Disarm the police. We have a 1/4 billion 2nd amendment guns in our homes 4 protection. We'll survive til the right cops r hired."

"Local cops now militarized. Founding Fathers said NO army policing on our soil. Why do cops have tanks? Oh, right - the Enemy: The Black Man."

Moore's comments, which drew some angry reaction on Twitter, brought him back to the spotlight after he criticised American Sniper, the Clint Eastwood movie on Chris Kyle, considered the most lethal marksman in US military history.

Quoted from joebxr
Boston Tea Party was an uprising where protesters destroyed chests of tea to protest a corporate tax break...far
cry from being a riot where looting and destruction took place for individual benefit!


I guess saving your neighbor's lives by highlighting what the system really is doing, is NOT appropriate for an individual human's
benefit?

WOW!

so the hierarchy is things over people? really?


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
