Long sigh.

Reptilian Brain (poke here)

The reptilian brain, the oldest of the three, controls the body's vital functions such as heart rate, breathing, body temperature and balance.

Our reptilian brain includes the main structures found in a reptile's brain: the brainstem and the cerebellum. The reptilian brain is reliable but tends to be somewhat rigid and compulsive.

But he is a cop who shot a man twice in the back for nothing. They had his car they had his ID , remember police are also required to stop high speed chasers when they endanger the public , the same rules apply in shootingd

1. The police unions are so powerful, that prosecutors are leery to even bring up charges against LEO's...because of the likelihood their prosecution will be unsuccessful.

2. The reason the prosecutors have the deck stacked against them is for a number of reasons, but you can bet every single cop knows that they are almost untouchable from criminal prosecution...or even being permanently terminated.

The laws basically allow them to be... "bubble-wrapped" (yeah, I borrowed that term )


Difficulty in prosecuting bad cops (click here)



And you can bet your last dollar, those facts are in the back of every single cop's mind and especially with the 1% of bad ones...and/or of those (a much higher %) who emotionally have no business being in law enforcement.

I mean cripes, who in the world can watch the Rodney King over-the-top and totally unwarranted beating (given that he was certainly no threat)...and not shake their heads at how those involved got away with it?

If you watch any documentary of King's case, it quickly becomes evident that a change of venue to a much more receptive jury pool...was the foundation of the outcome.

And then we get the miscarriage of justice with OJ, which those same documentaries basically call 'payback' for Rodney King.

NEITHER of those cases...received true justice.

If the unions (which also includes teachers) did more to police their own people, a LOT of the problems we're seeing now...would go away.

And this is NOT a general "anti-union rant," because in a lot of cases unions actually protect the employees...from abusive supervisors/employers. [/SIZE]

With respect to Cold no More's excellent post....a small amount of levity.
Everybody knows the deck is stacked
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows, the good guys lost

Why do you think only white 1%’er get out of paying taxes or steal for the taxpayers? The tax code was written by politician/lawyers/lobbyists in their favor. What do you think the code has all the loopholes and exemptions?

Unions somehow work in Germany. And they have WAY less Police killings.

What? It’s only be on drive by media 1000 times.

Just shoot them in the back...and kill them.

After all, obviously some folks think being over the limit, tussling with a cop and then running...should carry a death sentence.

Let's see how fast and magically minds are changed...if that were to start happening.

If ? or after a bi- brother Dictatorship, would/might take over, you could actually see that or other bizarro stuff happening. I hope NEVER!

Police, like a volunteer army (which they are), tend to attract SOME (more than civilian) CRAZY, bloodthirsty types. For example, that Military man that was recently pardoned.

Thank you for your service. And I will shamefully hide my head in my hand, from now on-forever.

YEP, what a message to send to the vast majority of great soldiers...that someone can get away with that kind of atrocity.

That same message is sent, and you better believe every single one of them know it, when bad/mentally unstable/power hungry/bully cops...get away with their own prejudices/bigotry/atrocities.

Schweet.

Unfortunately, your clever and sophisticated facetiousness will fly right over the heads...of those who need it the most.

Actually, it's very simple. The thugs burned down the store (Wendys, I believe) because the owner called the cops since a guy, presumed inebriated (I'm assuming), was sleeping in the drive-thru lane, necessitating vehicles having to negotiate around him. Evidently, you're not supposed to call the cops when this occurs

Owing to their limited reasoning capacity, the thugs blamed the subsequent tragedy on the owner who called the police.

Not necessarily. I found a clear basic explanation defining homicide, murder and manslaughter for the unschooled.

Sad that the thugs could be so stupid. Do not think the owner of the restaurant will be a member of blm in the future.
