That's a riotin'.
While, of course, I don't agree with the rioting, this case stinks to high heaven.

It doesn't matter if the guy was a heroin dealer. This cop was not supposed to be the judge, jury and executioner. We are supposed to be a nation of laws, after all.

I read some of the judge's written decision. He said the statement about killing someone was a common reaction to a high-tension episode and didn't indicate intent. Though, I could also see the argument that one doesn't want a cop having that reaction ever.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

I fully support the right to keep and bear arms so that my gay black married friends can protect their marijuana crop.

This case does stink.

Look for people to start sniping cops in STL and elsewhere.

I'm giggling about so many of you promoting the Red Pill. When I first mentioned it on this site, I was attacked by a couple of you denouncing it as nothing but PUA assholes, Roosh is the devil, etc. Funny how a freedom philosophy can encompass a wide variety of people, afterall. Almost similar to how one could be black or gay and still Conservative or Libertarian. :lol:
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Context matters. Not all 'defying the oppressive PC orthodoxy' (which is what red pill anything has come to mean) is equal.

I'll point out, that one of the real dangers of a PC regime where directly factual true statements are simply made unspeakable, where there are truths that are not to be spoken by 'decent' people..... Is that you'll find only indecent people speaking the truth. Doesn't make them decent, though.

About the most support I'll give the PUA types is when they're speaking truths backed by both lifetimes of accumulated observation and evolutionary psychology (which happens, and is why even any of their shit *works* to the extent it does), that have simply been declared off limits by the reality reinventors. Fuck that. Otherwise, some of those PUA types are, themselves, creepy AF.
