San Francisco Cops Can't Shoot
« on: February 03, 2018, 01:35:55 PM »
Here's one where, given the information, I'm 100% on the side of the cops. Holy hell. Apparently in San Francisco, cops can't shoot someone if they're "unarmed"*. In this case (video below) an "unarmed" car thief runs over one of the cops. You don't see it distinctly, but you can tell the car hit a "speed bump".

In the meantime, if my ears don't deceive me, it sounds like some woman in the background is giving the cops a hard time for detaining the suspect that didn't get away, who it appears was fighting the cops before he's grounded.

Gee, doesn't that bring up the question of what does "armed" mean... and in turn, what does "arms" mean, and in turn, what does "keep" mean, and, further, what does "bear" mean (stupid remarks about bear's arms not welcome), and in turn, what does "infringed" mean, and yet more, what does "right" mean?

You sure you want to broach that subject?

:rofl:

I'm not signing this one so nobody will know who posted it.  >:D

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Well, I'm glad that's out of the way.  An exclusion I forgot to mention.  And, no doubt, knowing this crowd, not the last one.  Something about "beer" arms is bound to come up too... right?  Come on, you know you want to...

It's Frisco, so it's expected.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Are there bears in San Francisco?  I know there are "bears" there, but they are mostly harmless.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
