SarniaSaint Posted 10 April, 2015 Share Posted 10 April, 2015 Sadly Sarnia these incidents happen all too frequently which is why many of us have issues with arming police and the gun laws in the USA. Happen more often or just a media storm?.....but I digress......about a week after 9/11 when the border was re-opened I went across and there at the customs booth was a National Guardsman with a M16 next to the customs guy....was I worried NO .........why should I be worried ....... These high profile cop shootings that you are seeing all involve someone doing something wrong ............would you run away from a cop if you were stopped for a traffic violation?? So what do you have to say about that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarniaSaint Posted 10 April, 2015 Share Posted 10 April, 2015 that is exactly the bit that Sarniesaint does'nt get. What is there to get?.............the only thing I am getting from this thread is that you all are envious of the USA .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These high profile cop shootings that you are seeing all involve someone doing something wrong ............would you run away from a cop if you were stopped for a traffic violation?? So what do you have to say about that?? The militarisation of the police is something that should concern any citizen. Firstly, what does it say about the government's feelings toward its own people? Are US citizens really that dangerous that you need an armour-plated RV to deal with them, and if so, why? No-one should be shot to death for the crime of "running", especially when the suspect isn't presenting a threat to anyone. Many of these shootings are completely unjustified. I maintain that there is an underlying fear driving all of this. Citizens buy guns to protect themselves from each other. The cops need bigger guns to protect themselves from the citizenry, to the point where they are becoming a colour-swapped version of the actual military. One of the key attributes of civilised societies is an absolute unwillingness to deploy its armed forces on its own soil. Not only is it a safeguard against military coups and the consequent tyrannies, but it also says a lot about the relationship between a nation's leaders and its citizens. There is mutual trust, and a general expectation that neither the citizenry or the authorities are not going to go f**king mental anytime soon. The big ol' social contract. The US military and police becoming virtually indistinguishable says much about the state of the USA's social contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one, not even you, knows the full facts. Going by your definition, no-one should have an opinion. Continually telling people that they know nothing isn't debating, Sarnia, especially given the paucity of detail in your own responses. At best, you're Ygritte of the Free Folk. At worst, you're a twát. If we're wrong, at least attempt to explain why we're wrong, y'know, with counter-arguments. "I'm right because I live in a neighbouring country to the North" or "you no nothing, Europeans" are not counter-arguments. Now I've ribbed you on a couple of occasions on this thread, but I reckon I've been fairer than most, especially recently - so I've got a piece of travel advice to add to your do's and don'ts.
