You ever hear of David Koresch in Waco Tx. Ever watch that day the shoot out began? Shots started pouring out that place. Cops were blindly shooting back. Innocent people were shot inside that house. They were all white.
Good work there Tall. Make it up, sketchy references and make the guy protecting himself the bad guy. Lol!
I said I didn't have a credible source to link. Do you even bother to read? We are all curious why Walker didn't get a scratch in that hail of fire. What is your credible explanation? And please provide us a credible source for your explanation. Otherwise you're just being sketchy and making stuff up.
I can cite plenty of times cops shoot whites that are posing a threat to them. We need to work on the policy of "what poses a threat". A man in handcuffs does NOT pose a threat. A man ignoring Cops commands to stop and head for his car to get inside. Does.
Trevor Noah proposed that we no longer have a "Social Contract" in America. He might be on to something. If police have lost respect for the people they serve, there is no contract. If the people have lost respect for the police that serve them, there is no contract.
I didn't post my hypothesis because I have no proof at all. But the most logical explanation is the cops were told to take Walker (who they mistakenly thought was the drug guy) alive to get information from him. The girl was shot either as intimidation or because they thought she might also be armed and since she was not considered an information source she was terminated with extreme prejudice as they say. This explanation solves several odd and yet to be logically explained things in the incident. You guys immediately get in the cops angels mindset and don't consider other perspectives, ending up needing pretzel logic to explain things.
Well you left out a teeny tiny few detais in your hypothesis. Walker started shooting at the cops and in fact hitting them, when they busted in. At that point, taking him in for questioning, wasn't what was on their mind. And how your supposed hypothesis supports how they decided let's shoot someone else instead of him. If they had the skills to per your theory, shoot her on purpose, they had the same skills to shoot Walker. Cops unloaded rounds everywhere, including into the neighbors dwellings. Yet they couldn't manage a shot into Walker? Now I've known a few cops. And there are some cops on this thread. Firearms proficiency training is routine and frequent. Cops know how to find a target and make it generally feasible that they can accurately hit said target. How can you miss the right target, and hit multiple times, the wrong one. Let's shoot Breona, so um we can intimidate the guy we are not able to hit. And oh by the way, communicate this change of plan to all the firing officers in that moment Walker began firing.
Calling an accomplished black man a racial slur is sarcasm?
He wasn't using it as part of his comedy skit. I spose it could be. I'm just trying to find some sense in the ridiculousness.
Think about it Tall, Walker shot and hit some of the cops and they didn't hit him once? In a little closed apartment and firing a lot of rounds? My point was that the only way a brother survives shooting 2 cops is that they want him alive. I gave two theories on why she was shot. The first was she surprised them and they thought she might also have a weapon (basically legit) or they wanted to intimidate him and didn't need her alive (not so legit). It's hard to argue one of these scenarios didn't happen, but who knows which one it was?
So we get back to poor quality of cops/poor training. I've been in agreement there long before any of these threads. Newsflash. Plenty of cops have been arseholes to me too. And I don't sleep with drug dealers, pass fake $, or turn and walk away from them and make a break for my car. I'm sure it would have been worse for me if I had
A few are around here as well but still suck at shooting.
It's both. There are more good cops than bad there Sparky. I've had good cops admit they have bad cops on their own force. The Unions make it tough to get rid of them. Another area of reform.
