The only objective witness says he was warned 3-4 times not to reach for the gun but still went for it. I wasn’t there and neither were you. Had he been Caucasian we all know you’d be blaming him and claiming he was a Trump supporter.
Barf said Road Warrior. I said Alice Springs. Then Cup goes by the Sea. What the hell surprise have you got?
Stats about what? People committing suicide by cop with a knife? I was talking about his comment about committing suicide by cop.
No, says the Oregonian article this thread is about, but then you probably didn't read it. "It's just a really unfortunate situation," said Donald Dietz, 25, an employee at the Cheerful Tortoise who witnessed the shooting. He had asked a co-worker to call the police when he saw a conflict inside the bar escalate and move outside. He was only a few feet away when the man was shot. "The unfortunate situation is he was trying to help and break things up," Dietz said of the man who was shot. Dietz recalled the man reaching for his gun after police told him three or four times not to. "They warned him multiple times not to reach for it, but he did," Dietz said. "I don't want the message out there that the cops were trigger-happy." Dietz said employees at the Cheerful Tortoise did everything they could to stop the situation from escalating like it did. "It's just that people got drunk and stubborn," he added. "They had to do it," he said of the officers involved. "People think they were overzealous, but they had to do it."
Nearly every single "stat" and claim in your post has been exposed as utter nonsense and fiction. If you'd widen your news sources to include something other than The View, you'd already know that. But thanks for playing.
@HCP sorry brother. Sorry for losing your childhood friend. Sorry that lovely girl had to lose her father. Sorry our society is so fucked up we have people who are so in love with guns they are willing to let people die so they can get whatever firearm they want in secrecy and abuse common sense legally. Sorry.
Really? The Oregonian article says I cower in fearful obedience? Let's see... Nope, they don't seem to have mentioned me at all. Weird, that. barfo
