Ferguson Case !! ( Archived) (40)

An ex cop on a talk radio show said that cops are taught to shoot to kill. This is for 2 reasons: #1 to stop the threat once and for all, and #2 to prevent years of lawsuits for injuries. I believe this would explain why they are taught to shoot the largest body mass, and it would also be easier to hit than say, a knee.

Really? Men and women police officers are instructed to shoot the largest body mass when they are threatened, primarily because in the heat of the moment their aim accuracy can really suffer.

Also makes sense

Same issue exist up north. I think It's not like you can blame eeo recruitment efforts though. Major cities up north are reassessing how to attract more women and minorities.

In Columbus:
Amy Delong, head of the city’s Civil Service Commission, said the group has discussed with (Mayor) Coleman three changes in the background standards:

• Candidates would not be removed if they took a drug not prescribed to them such as a Percocet or Ambien no more than once.

• The city would not disqualify applicants if their drivers license was suspended for financial reasons, such as nonpayment of car insurance.

• Applicants would not be removed if they admit to minor physical or emotional domestic violence in the past 10 years, such as a fight with a sibling as minors that didn’t result in criminal charges.

Police- and fire-union officials have said the standards should not be changed (LOWERED), because of the sensitive nature of public-safety jobs.

The U.S. Department of justice has filed suits against cities, everywhere, for not having better diversity of women and minorities.

In my opinion they got it all wrong. A man with his hands in the air is obviously surrendering so Wilson did not have to shoot him. Besides that shooting, police officers are given non-lethal weapons to use as a first option instead of resorting to their firearms. If the officer in Cleveland, Ohio had used non-lethal force on that 12 year old boy he would be alive today. That officer killed that boy over a toy and should be tried for murder. Cops are getting away with to much violence and it's time to hold them accountable. I say. HANDS UP----DON'T SHOOT.

i
would be over and done with but sheeple believe media fairy tales,
holder and subversives tryin to stir up civil war, need to shine lite
on them & media, always makin 20 loosers look like 300 victims, fairy tales don't pop out of thin air that stuff is scripted, planed, managed

Protestors today through the USA want everyone to walk off the job because of what happened to Mr. Brown in Ferguson.

President Obama meeting with civil rights leaders today about what happened to Mr. brown in Ferguson.

Too risky, because a dart is usually fired from a rifle and can penetrate and leave a victim, possibly harming anyone behind the intended target.... Whereas, bullets most police use are designed to tumble around inside the intended target and not exit.

Hm, maybe I should have used expanding or hollow-point, mushroom on contact instead of tumble style bullets in my previous post. Police here are required to use this type ammunition to qualify to carry. In any case the hollow point bullet leaves a larger hole if it does exit body mass, but it doesn't have much energy left after that.

Growing in popularity with some police here is the Mi-bullet or multiple impact bullet, expands into four interconnected parts as it exits the barrel, improving accuracy.
