now, I’m about as liberal as they come, but did anyone tell these jackasses that their kayaks are made out of oil? I’m genuinely curious

Needs to be much higher...

I REALLY wanted to see someone go by on the bridge and cut every line to those idiots.

Fuck that.. sail right through them next time.

Christ, never thought I’d be rooting for an oil company.

Funny thing how kayaks are made from oil.....

Firehoses generally work pretty well at breaking up crowds of hippies. Throw in some soap and they can get their yearly bath too.

Protests oil drilling using petroleum based plastic vessels.

Do any of those protesters realize how much damage that rig would sustain if it hit them?

Firstly, why perpetuate the ‘unarmed’ myth? A 3600lb vehicle can be a potent weapon.

I watched the video several times. To me, it looked like the car was in gear and moving before the officer took the shot. No, I’m not happy that “another cop killed another black man”. In fact, I’m disgusted that so many people are so full of themselves and stupid to obey very simple and reasonable requests that…

I sure as hell wouldn’t because I’m a rational human being that knows that being dragged by a car is dangerous.

Right, it’s the officer’s fault that some jackoff didn’t have a front facing license plate, refused to provide identification and registration, and chose to try to flee the scene. Officers can make the decision to try and remove keys from the ignition to avoid a detainee from fleeing the scene. A high speed chase has…

Where have I said that an infraction deserves execution?! I said that the cop feared for his life and claims he was dragged. If he did, in fact, fear for his life and was dragged, then he is authorized to use lethal force. If instead, he made a bad judgment call and feared for his own safety when he was in no real…

The officer has every right to hold on as he was reaching in and executing an arrest, he does not have the ordinary duty to retreat, otherwise. It does not matter if the officer was actually dragged only that he reasonable feared imminently being dragged by the suspect’s actions. The officer only needs to prove within…

Okay, ask yourself this...what if Sam hadn’t decided to go driving that day? Since he wasn’t supposed to be anyway. What if Sam hadn’t decided to break the law...again? I bet he and Tensing wouldn’t have even crossed paths.

I have not heard of such a determination by experts. Can you share a link to the source, please? Information thus far has said that the officer believed he was in danger and was dragged. From the video, it appears that he is dragged before he is able to get footing to run towards the car as it moves down the road. If…

Should he have died? No. But DuBose was hardly an “innocent man” by any stretch. The guy had a rap sheet with over 75 charges on it that stretched out over 20 years. His driver license was “indefinitely suspended” by the state of Ohio. And the officer asked for his DuBose’s license for over 2 minutes.

“An innocent man gets shot in the head when the conversation gets heated.” Ok, Mr. Dubose was not “innocent” BUT he certainly did not deserve to die for what occurred. Mr. Dubose was pulled over for a traffic stop(no front license plate), Mr. Dubose was then asked to present his drivers license which he did not…

Some of the rationale here is biased. You seem to say that because body cams do not result in more charges against officers post-shooting, they must not be effective. Of course, it could be that in the vast majority of cases the shootings were justified.
