Marti's just enamored with the concept of racist Southern living, what with such fabulous gowns and matching parasols.  Oh, lace gloves!  I do declare! :flutter:

And my position is simply: if you want to protest something, there are hundreds of more worthy causes than the police shooting an armed violent convict.

11B4whatever is right to call you out on this.  The fact is irrelevant, and it's unlikely the police even knew about it.  Now the choice to shoot may have been correct, I don't know.  If the man was indeed waving a firearm and constituted a danger to the public then the police may not have had a choice.  But prior convictions don't come into this.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Incidentally, it's always interesting that every time the American public freaks out over police shooting, it turns out in the end that the victim is not so innocent as people originally thought.

Yeah, like that Tamir Rice convict.

Of course, then there was this felon and convict that people freaked out over who the police shot 5 times in the head and chest:



I mean, he was a 6 year old autistic first grader, but certainly not nearly as innocent as he looks.

I think this notion will have Marty stumped.

'I'm going to hit him': Dash-cam video shows officers tried to run over man before shooting him 14 times

This one has audio, so he can hear all 14 shots in their semi-automatic MAGAZINE-emptying wonder.


Quote"F— this guy," the officer says before aiming his police cruiser at the mentally ill homeless man that he and his partner had been sent out to confront. "I"m going to hit him."

"Okay, go for it. Go for it," his partner responds

Maybe they were afraid someone else would steal the kill from them.
