Trooper shoots man Houston @ FM 529 Sh6

Obviously the victim was executed.

So you, too, are unable to discern/comprehend the difference between a hose nozzle and an honest-to-goodness firearm? Glad the trooper was apparently able to do so.

I prefer to let the justice system deal with the shootings instead of branding LEOs as executioners. Unlike you I do have respect for LEO.

Isn't it obvious what really happened here? This young Black child was looking in the street for loose change in order to buy some tea and Skittles and found a dangerous weapon in the street. Fearing some poor White or Asian child might find it and injure themselves or others, and seeing the friendly police officer, he attempted to turn the gun in to the officer for the safety of the public. Unfortunately, due to the Zimmerman trial verdict, it is now legal for White males to kill young black teenagers, and is in fact open season. The officer, having just been informed that the season on innocent young Black teens is now open, and being a White racist who had no doubt profiled the teen and then followed him in his vehicle, took advantage of the new rules and and shot the poor child for the fun of it. Now, some may say this account is wrong, because the DPS trooper is Black, but they're the ones who are actually wrong.....because while he may look Black, he's actually a White-Black.

You mean like the two who were found liable for the "hose-nozzle" assassination in California?

Why don't you just stop? You are obviously so pro-LEO that you are completely blind to any actual facts whatsoever, even when LEOs have, indeed, been found to be grossly in the wrong (to the tune of millions of dollars of civil liability).

I'm not sure which one of your statements to believe.

Regardless,
Calling a LEO an executioner implies intent. Even shooting a man that was "armed" with a hose nozzle, I wouldn't call that an execution unless there is some background story on it.

I smell a troll.

Yours appears to be the only comment that could be considered even remotely troll-like. Are you planning to leave the forum soon?

No, no I'm not. Ad-hominem, straw men, and "I know you are but what am I?" don't really work on me.

Nor did I call out any names, or make any quotations that would indicate who I was talking about. However, since you decided to point to me as a "troll," let me point out to you that you have engaged in ad-hominem, attempting to discredit people because you think they are "pro law enforcement." You have used "straw men" to rile people up, conflating certain instances of documented misconduct with other instances where investigation is still pending, or an investigation or jury has cleared any officers of misconduct or wrongdoing. And you have attempted to deflect blame onto someone who merely pointed out that "someone" was acting trollish. That sounds like a troll to me: attack people, stir up argument, then claim it's not your fault it degenerated into an ugly shouting match. It's called "stirring the pot."

Moderators, if any of this is inappropriate, my apologies, and delete this in part or in whole, as appropriate.

Believe whichever one suits your fancy or none at all; I really don't care.

One statement was made regarding the actions of two LEO and a citizen who was shot. The other statement was probably made regarding existing tyrants. The two are not related so I do not understand your confusion but then your belief system confuses me too so I guess we are even.

And once again, you offer absolutely nothing substantive whatsoever to the thread (well, unless you call giving the moderators "permission" to do their jobs substantive). Pot, kettle, black?

I hope you enjoyed turning the thread into a battle of personal attacks. In fact, I hope you enjoyed it a lot because it's your last for two weeks. Do it again upon your return and you'll be gone for good.

I'm growing more and more impatient with Members who think they can turn any thread into a battle of insults and it's going to end. Pacifist certainly started it this time, but others joined in. Stop now. The Forum didn't become the great resource it is today by allowing personal attacks. It did so precisely because we don't allow it.

Im glad that Trooper is safe. It could have gone the other way. Being a Texas State Trouper is hard work. I talked to a Trouper captain that was part of a Controlled Chemical Class for Farmer & Ranchers. During lunch The trouper was telling me about there training. This was way before my CHL class. It's amaising! They also carry scales & cover alls to inspect 18 wheelers. They can do amaising thing with there driving also. Im sure this officer was really alert!
