TakeYouToTasker Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 I'd be pretty upset if I had to go through that. I guess props to those who wouldn't, but my guess is most human beings would be scared $#!+less if put in that situation. No reason any innocent person should have to fear getting their "f-ing head blown off." How saying something like that helps an active shooter situation is beyond me. Seems closer to provoking than protecting. I've been through it. It's terrifying and terrible. However, during an active shooter situation the police get more leeway.
nedboy7 Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 It's funny how the white man is so uncomfortable with a black man asking for justice. he is a baby? Lol. I mean some of these comments are just ignorant.

TakeYouToTasker Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Agree. Can't imagine being an innocent black man dealing with an angry cop. It doesn't always end up like it's supposed to. That's the plain truth of it. It's much the same as being an innocent white man dealing with an angry cop.
suorangefan4 Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Agree. Can't imagine being an innocent black man dealing with an angry cop. It doesn't always end up like it's supposed to. That's the plain truth of it. The truth? The truth is cops kill twice as many white people as they do blacks. Liberal media bias won't say anything about that though.
JohnBonhamRocks Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Agree. Can't imagine being an innocent black man dealing with an angry cop. It doesn't always end up like it's supposed to. That's the plain truth of it. Yep. Are there criminals of every type? Sure. Should any innocent person be made to feel like they are about to possibly get shot in the head while on vacation? Fuc|< no.
klos63 Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 This is the problem. Officers have no idea if the person they are arresting is innocent or not. They are responding to real threats in most cases, hence why compliance by civilians should be paramount. What you are asking is really a two fold question, but first I would like to say it is never cool when someone is shot and killed. Second if the person refused to cooperate and was moving etc. and was shot I would feel the police are well within their rights to do so. Third, if the person was not moving and was shot, then the policeman (or woman) should be charged and arrested. Makes sense, but to your second point - having to take the word of the police , with the advent of body cams, has shown to be problematic. To your third point - Agreed, but it seems like that is a difficult thing to do.

Seems closer to provoking than protecting. EDIT: Haven't seen the video, so can't comment on that. That's how I feel too. It's one thing if you move or resist arrest, and that is definitely what happened in some of these other cases. But if Bennett is honest about what happened it's a civil rights violation. He wasn't moving or resisting, did exactly what he was told, still was subjected to excessive force. In America we aren't supposed to be abused like that, we're presumed innocent. I would be terrified in that situation, it isn't just an "unpleasant experience" IMO. But again this all depends on if he's being completely honest about everything. I usually give people the benefit of the doubt and let things play out from there
boyst Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Yep. Are there criminals of every type? Sure. Should any innocent person be made to feel like they are about to possibly get shot in the head while on vacation? Fuc|< no. you're precious Is this as simple as a man on vacation was stopped by police? No, he was a suspect of a crime in a city with rampant crime. **** happens. Grow up, Micheal, life isn't always easy
TakeYouToTasker Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Yep. Are there criminals of every type? Sure. Should any innocent person be made to feel like they are about to possibly get shot in the head while on vacation? Fuc|< no. It's an active shooter situation. The police are trying to eliminate a threat who is in the process of shooting, and is a mortal danger to those around him. Bennett was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The police are trying to stop people from dying in real time.
klos63 Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 The truth? The truth is cops kill twice as many white people as they do blacks. Liberal media bias won't say anything about that though. that statistic, on it's own, is irrelevant. How many innocent people are shot , that's the question. And if white people tolerate innocent whites getting shot, that's their problem.

nuklz2594 Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 just stfu!! do as oredered by the police and y'all be fine. damn sniveling B word

I wasn't doing anything I shouldn't have and complied with instruction. Soft arse Micheal Bennett is scared. Awe. This is par for the course that this country is full of kitties Like I said, I guess props to those who claim they would be fine after that situation. I think most people would not. Dunno about the list of things people these days are apparently afraid of, but I value my life, so yes, having someone threaten to blow my head off would not sit well. As for what's to be scared about... it's getting your head blown off. I like mine where it is, and also like being able to see the people I care about another day.
klos63 Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 I just checked, open carry is legal in Nevada- imagine if Bennett legally was carrying? OMG
T-Bomb Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 It's funny how the white man is so uncomfortable with a black man asking for justice. he is a baby? Lol. I mean some of these comments are just ignorant. I'm not a fan of cops, but I do see a lot of ignorance on the part of certain communities/groups (not just minorities) to obey them. If you're dealing with a cop in some manner, that is NOT the time to plead any case, that comes after. If you are obstructionist in any way, that is just going to set them off and escalate things very fast. You're letting them get a foot in the door on becoming larger and larger !@#$s as the situation unfolds. If you truly are innocent, all you have to do is obey them and get it over with. Yeah, it will feel degrading and you no longer feel like a human being but some kind of animal. However, the better you comply, the quicker it will be over.
sodbuster Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Were there actually gunshots or was it just something that sounded like shots? Its hard to tell based on his statement. If it just sounded like gunshots, how could they have had a profile of the suspected shooter?
BringBackOrton Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 that statistic, on it's own, is irrelevant. How many innocent people are shot , that's the question.

IDBillzFan Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 If this in the only video, Bennet doesn't have a chance. The only thing we know for sure is that every football game is going to suck for the next couple of months. Gonna have to watch the games on mute.
