News No Charges in Wal-Mart BB Gun Shooting - Page 15

Skyy God · 09-24-2014, 01:38 PM

Watch the video. Dude's just shopping for pet food, swinging a BB gun, and minding his own business. Then, BAM.

Apparently the Dayton PD trains their officers to murder people.

Quote:

A special grand jury called to review evidence in the fatal shooting of John Crawford III, killed by police in an Ohio Walmart while carrying a BB gun from store's shelves, decided today that no officers involved in the shooting will be indicted.

Surveillance video from Crawford's shooting—previously unavailable to the public—shows Crawford walking around the store while talking on the phone, with the BB gun at his side or on his shoulder. The disturbing video then shows an officer rushing toward Crawford with his gun drawn before shooting him.

Though the special grand jury reportedly considered charging the officers with murder, reckless homicide, or negligent homicide, WHIO reports the jury ultimately decided not to indict the officers involved in the shooting, finding their actions were justified.

Vince Pope, attorney for the officers involved in the shooting, released a statement following the decision:

"I believe the grand jury's decision, it's absolutely the right decision, that the officers acted well within their training."

Derrick Foward, president of the Dayton Unit NAACP, also released a statement:

"The Special Grand Jury in Greene County made the wrong decision. It's a sad day in the history of Dayton."

Foward added the NAACP will call for a complete investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.

BRC, I don't like yo ass either but at least you were level headed about the shit. As far as being assaulted, let's just say I have been ****ed with a lot and have stared down the barrel of a drawn gun for no reason at all...followed by "Sorry for the inconvenience"

Everybody has the right to voice their opinion on this board, no matter how they were born. He wasn't saying it's because someone was born black.

I'm going to go with a huh? here.

He should be arrested for lying to the dispatcher. His statements about the guy loading the rifle and pointing it at kids did nothing but raise the officer's anxiety.

I'm sure the fact that the guy had something resembling an assault rifle did quite a wonder on the officers anxiety.

Lucky you.

I've had enough experiences with them to know that a lot of cops are dicks. Complete ****ing assholes that abuse their power.

It's kinda funny, i may have mentioned it on this forum before, i can't remember. Anyhow, im half white/half mexican, but i look more Mexican than white. Some times im too lazy or cheap to go get a hair cut, so i simply grab the clippers and head to the bathroom and give my head a shave. When i do, i kinda look like a cholo.

When i do....man o' man. You should see the way cops stare at me. My wife makes fun of me for it all the time. When my head isn't shaved, no one ever pays attention to me.

When my head is shaved, i get stared down by police driving by, i even had a cop completely whip his car around and come up behind me and pull me over.

The amount of attention i get from the police with a shaved head vs not having a shaved head is AMAZING.

Profiling is alive and well, i can tell all of you.

You guys really have NO idea what life is like for Arrow. His posting and venting about it may annoy you, but he's earned the ****ing right, and you guys should just ignore him if it bothers you that bad. Certainly talking all this shit to him and then expecting him to just slink away is ****ing ridiculous.

If you can't show some ****ing compassion, at least leave the man alone.

GTFO, 'earned' what? Dude is racist and closeminded, but worse yet doesn't comprehend much of what is being discussed.

He sees everything through his racist lens and any facts that go against his view that he can summon the intellect to actually understand he dismisses as 'BS' or 'spin.'

I'm sure it did too, but the statements along with the appearance of the gun created a perfect storm in my opinion.

Hmmmm. I see a lot of people on here are acknowledging that there is a racial element in a lot of these cases, something I have said all along but carry on with your canned statements about me...

And Flop, don't think the board will forget this and your ridiculing dismissal of criticism of Native's post yesterday the next time you get on your high horse about not standing for racist content on this board.

But the people who carried ACTUAL rifles didn't increase any anxiety in anybody? Why?

No. Open carry is not legal in Florida unless you are engaged in a few exempted activities, such as target shooting, hunting, camping, fishing, etc.

Native's thread from yesterday? The one that was CLEARLY satire?

The perfect storm that was created when the donkey brain grabbed a realistic appearing BB rifle and strolled his rear end into a walmart.

Are BB guns not allowed to be carried in public?

Satire can still be racist. Or maybe if I wink when I call Arrow the N-word he wouldn't mind.

I have a long record of being firmly against banning people, but hypocrisy is still hypocrisy

A shit ton of the racial content that brought drama in the past was trolling or intended humorously, not that far a leap from satire.

And Arrow is clearly not being a satirist.
