Gun Violence in America

[xrox]

Awful . . . this story is 2 years old (March 2021) . . . the NY Post like to repost this to create more hate . . .

Not just the NY Post, but the media in general, and internet warriors desperately seeking confirmation bias.

The woman in this video shows off this device off with pride when it should be a source of profound shame.

Just to clarify, hate for whom? The cops, or the criminals?

IMO, there have been far too many police shootings which don't even come close to passing the sniff test. However, this is not one of them.

The female suspect shot the cop prior to him shooting her. The cop tased her before she shot him, so it's reasonable to say that he did not begin with lethal force.

Also, IMO, given her circumstances, he probably gave her far too much latitude. He allowed her to run around her vehicle then re-enter it to retrieve her gun. Had he been more forceful and prevented her from re-entering her vehicle it's more than likely that neither of them would have been shot.

HaHa . . . just the hate of both side of the discussion. Look at the replies . . . that's the hate I was talking about.

Like you, I thought the cops was way too patient. What the hell do you do, shoot her??? Maybe just let her leave and . . . I don't know . . .

Turns out she was a he.

Can't we just use the pronoun "in possession of weapons designed to inflict the most harm in as short a time as possible"?

How about referring to whomever they are as the murderer.

The only thing that American politicians (mainly Republicans) have to offer are their vacuous thoughts and prayers, all the while rejecting meaningful gun control. It's enough to anger and disgust anyone with any degree of intelligence and compassion.

What I noticed is the new narrative and it goes like this:

"Thoughts and prayers.

I especially want to thank to the first responders, the fire department, the police, the EMS, the ambulance drivers, the school resource officer, and the local law enforcement, etc. Back the blue. Fund the police. Impeach Biden, Let's go Brandon. Blah blah blah blah blah."

Didn't you forget something? Haven't they added:

"And last, but hardly least, I'd like to thank the NRA and the conservative members of the Supreme Court for their invaluable contributions to making American guns owners their priority. If the victims of these slaughters can't defend themselves, they only have themselves and weak-kneed Democrats to blame."

Well this time it's a field day for Republicans, as they get to offer their meaningless thoughts and prayers, while also loving the opportunity to point out that the shoot was transgender. This is creating all sorts of talking point for them.
