@CforCatholics All injustice needs to be remembered; however, what do you mean by the following:
For 6 decades, the story of these men has been silenced. A new age dawns upon America as the young people of today have woken up to the Enemy within our gates.
@ChrisCuomo You invited him on, but didn't want to let him speak. Why?
In the case of LA, there is definitely evidence based on stats alone where an investigation is warranted.
It's not about if what happened is an appropriate punishment. Don't try to misconstrue the situation.
While tragic, it is also true that the officer acted reasonably given the situation. The driver acted unreasonably, disobeying the officers, and trying to flee the scene placing an officer at risk.
You know this how? Sounds like a partisan poisoned mind.
After disobeying commands, she was clearly fleeing but there was an officer in the way. After drawing his weapon, with the vehicle was not stopping, what should he had done?
This is indeed tragic, but the driver was largely at fault in this incident.
@SethAbramson Your bias is comming through loudely. This is rather simple. The driver disobeyed the officers orders and tried to flee the scene. In trying to flee, the driver put another officer at risk who discharged his weapon.
That's it. It's tragic, but nothing else.
Just so you know, the officer does not need to be hit by a vehicle to discharge a weapon. I find the partisan split on this both fascinating and disturbing.
We should be able to agree that this is both tragic, while at the same time viewing the officer's actions as reasonable given the circumstances.
Not sure the officer could see in slow mo.
It's not about whether the driver intended to run over the officer. It is reasonable to assume the driver did not intend to harm the officer. However, the driver, disobeyed officers, and tried to flee the scene, placing an officer in the way at risk.
Unfortunate and tragic, but the officer acted accordingly.
@tobitac Not true at all. Number one, I will not be obstructing officers in executing their duties. Second, I will not try to flee from officers, placing officers in harms way, when instructed to stop or exit the vehicle.
What should the officer had done? If the driver disobeys orders and drives toward the officer with the vehicle, should he had raised his opened hand yelling stop instead?
Would you say the same thing about a highway patrol officer facing an oncoming vehicle driven by a person disobeying orders?
While tragic, this is not a complex situation to answer.
The question is not whether the driver intended to run over the officer?
Rather the question is did the driver, disobeying federal officers, try to flee without regard to the wellbeing of the officers, placing an officer in harms way?
You're right that this is about energy security.
However, China does not need some type of moral "permission" to invade Tawain. Regimes will come up with any rationale necessary to justify its actions.
If anything, this may give China pause based how poorly their defense systems performed in Venezuela.
@mattyglesias Not difficult to understand. The decision was made to ensure that these resources served the US interests and not the interest of our adversaries.
@mert We are all made to work, but those who are younger generally have more energy to create. To presume all have the energy to create, no matter the age is a sign of a lack of experience in life.
@ModelYManiac@JoeTegtmeyer I don't understand why a Robotaxi makes personal car ownership obsolete. We currently have taxis, ubers, ... Just because the vehicle drives itself, why does this change the current status quo?
