Jesus Christ. I don’t even know what to say to that.

So you think police officers should be able to do what the military in an active warzone can’t? By that I mean shoot at someone who hasn’t already shot at them, because military rules of engagement prohibit pre-emptively shooting at someone who hasn’t fired at you, even if they are aiming at you. Police officers need…

Sounds good to me actually, because I’m not a kill-happy asshole.

Yup, just like how the military isn’t supposed to shoot until they get shot at. If you can’t handle the danger, don’t be a cop.

Amazing, 4 out of 4 wheels.

I sure as hell believe mike brown shouldn’t have been killed. How is this hard for you to understand, police shouldn’t be shooting people who aren’t literally shooting at the police or other people.

Airsoft guns are limited to be under 450fps, which combined with the pellets that they shoot make them unable to cause death. You might be able to modify one to be lethal, but off the shelf they are 100% non-lethal.

Still shouldn’t have shot the kid until he fired on them or someone else. Police need to grow some balls, so kids like this will live long enough to have theirs drop.

Because a child has been shot by someone who was supposed to be keeping him safe.

They chose to be a police officer. In the same way that soldiers in the military are not supposed to fire until fired upon, police shouldn’t be allowed to use deadly force on civilians until they are a direct threat to other CIVILIANS, not just the police officers.

Point------->

Yeah, we know, but even if this WAS a BB gun and not an airsoft gun (which I highly doubt) the police are 99% fine even if he does shoot at them, whereas he is 99% dead if they shoot at him.

Sounds like that’s basically exactly what they did.

pretty sure this was an airsoft gun, pretty hard to kill someone with one of those.

The point everyone is making is that cops need to do a better job at making themselves known and give people time to react to orders to drop weapons and such, unless you are swat AND you are called in for a hostage situation you should never be taking the first shot. I know it would suck to be shot at, but the…

I believe you are missing a certain level of sarcasm.

You don’t know what you are missing.

Are you me?

No one cares about your boner.

Haha I don’t really listen to his music, but Deadmau5 has a hilarious online personality, and he does cool stuff with his money.
