How about better training at self-defense, so you know non-lethal options can be taken first, I mean he is an officer, shouldn't that be mandatory. Better shooting lessons perhaps, bullets have a lot of stopping power you know, its not like the "giant man" was also a man of steel. A different officer at the scene perhaps. How about not leaving the body in the street for hours. I don't give a damn about the outcome of the court case itself because the outcome was apparent to me from day 1. What I am talking about is how the Wilson's Agency reacted and poorly managed the situation. Rioting is indicative a fundamental disconect between the officers and the citizens they are sworn to protect. And regardless of the outcome I can guarantee that absolutely nothing will change from this. More big black men will get shot and or beaten to a pulp, preventing theoretical crimes and theoretical beatings from happening, meanwhile school shootings happen all the time. That's what I'm annoyed with. And seriously, whats wrong with taking a beating? He'll live its not like that guy was going to break his spine or something. If your not prepared to take on the hazards of the job, why the fuck are you a police officer? How are you gonna protect and serve when you can't even protect your self. I mean that guy that killed Treyvon was clearly over his head, but this was Wilson's Job...you mean to tell me after assessing the situation the only solution was to shoot an unarmed Giant man? I mean why the hell did he put himself in a position where he was getting charged at |
I believe a trained police officer that has already been attacked and hurt by the 'giant unarmed man' (who also made an attempt at his weapon) probably knows better how to handle a stresfull situation like that than you or me. Also, I usually agree with most of the stuff you say around here, but that last sentence is absolutely disgusting. What the hell?
