So this didn't happen? Or is it Constitutional for Police to fire on a fleeing suspect who does not pose a threat?

The cop I got fired for just this certainly gave a shit.

I don't think so either, but I would pay to sit in on that.

No, dude, that was someone else you thought your proved wrong...Jayaregeee, I believe.

Thank you for your eloquent attempt to educate Bozo. I fear it will be lost on him, but the inescapable fact is that this is not a matter open for debate or up on which there are differences of opinion. You are right, he is wrong.

Dude: Constitutional doctrine is established not only by the black and white text alone, but by binding Supreme Court decisions. See Marbury v. Madison and every single decision since then.

If you read jayaregee's post again, you will notice he said a suspect cannot be shot "just because they are fleeing". Yes, of course the Police can shoot if the suspect poses a threat.

If you care to take another look at the Constitution you claim to be so familiar with, you may notice the Due Process clause. After that, you may want to familiarize yourself with 200 years of Supreme Court decisions establishing binding precedent that fleshes out the doctrine and which, yes, does forbid the police…

You make a very well reasoned, thoughtful argument, with the exception of one thing, which I have to say I find disturbing, to wit: "or flee".

How dare they raise their hands to show they are unarmed and ask not to be shot!

well, I'm a year late with this, but sometimes when I experience sleep paralysis, I see and smell the "spiders".

As I understand it, if it's Kosher, it's Halal, but if it's Halal, its not necessarily Kosher. Muslims can eat anything not forbidden, while Jews are only supposed to eat what is specifically allowed. Also, Muslims would prefer "Bismillah al-Raman, al-Rahim (In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful) to be said…

I hate to be pro-vigilante, but a car is potentially a lethal weapon, especially when driven like this. Shooting him may well have been justified in such a situation, both ethically and legally.

My personal favorites were the anti-Harry Potter moms. Lady, I have no idea what is going to piss you off, why don't you just go to the christian bookstore a quarter mile away.

I'm anxious to hear your story.

Wow! I was at the Beaverton, OR store. You?

I used to work in a Borders book store. Apparently there was a concerted effort by a number of local churches to convert the staff at bookstores, figuring we would then recommend christian literature to our customers and convert them. It was incredibly easy to spot these types because they would always bring the…

Seriously, I don't want to glorify it and would never recommend it, but anyone voting against heroin just hasn't tried it. There is a reason people throw their lives away for it.

You know, I'm not going to recommend it, because I lost years of my life to the stuff, but I am nearly 100% that anyone who will vote against heroin hasn't tried it.
