I dunno.... Walken was pretty popular for his acting in the earlier years, and pretty popular as a meme (maybe meme not exactly what I'm looking for, but still) at times in the later. Seems like that'd cover a long range of generations and ages.

If they had tazed him, and he'd had a heart attack and died, you'd be arguing that there were like 6 officers there, more than enough to have physically handled him without shooting him with a jolt of electricity.
Nope. Tazer =outside chance of death. Bullets=great likelihood of death. See why the tazer is less force?


My comment was in response to someone talking about Garner and how the cops should have handled him.

Huh? All I did was stipulate that the blonde woman we're replacing Brown with be of similar size and strength. Which seems completely reasonable given the circumstances we're discussing.
Yes, by changing the parameters of another's statement, gbaji "wins".


Um... It was my argument. I started out by saying that if we replaced Brown with a 300lb white man who acted identically to Brown, that the officer would have responded to him in the same manner. Smash responded to this with his "19 year old blonde" bit (Yet shockingly, you didn't make any deal about him changing the parameters of my argument). I then responded to him by re-stipulating that if the 19 year old blonde was 300lbs and otherwise acted identically to Brown, that she'd have been killed as well.


How the heck do you see this as me changing parameters? Kinda one sided, don't you think?

Quote:
This is intrinsic to you "logical" argument style.


Trying to stick to the relevant points? Yes. That's how logic works. How logic does not work is just randomly changing things until there's no correlation at all to the thing you started out talking about. If your argument is that Brown was unfairly treated because of the color of his skin, then you test this by changing just the color of his skin. You keep every other aspect of the encounter identical. Smash wants to change the hair color, race, and sex. You apparently want to change the weight.


But I'm the one using poor logic? Lol!

I would have thought so as well, but we've got a person here that seems to have missed it somehow. His talk-singing is amusing with his accent, but his dancing is definitely the highlight.

No. I've had more weight put on me than was put on Garner. My understanding is that it was not the hold on his neck that caused him to pass out, but the position he was held in on the ground, coupled with his weight and underlying asthma that caused it.

My point is that watching the video, what the police did should not have resulted in his death. It's the kind of take down and hold that they do all the time. This is not to say that they should not look at this and learn from it, but it's very clearly an accidental death. The family will have a nice lawsuit settlement, but I don't think that criminal charges should have been filed here. The Grand Jury got it right.

Sure. You go to the cop and tell him he has to enforce the law or else you won't pay him. After all, you pay his salary! See where it gets you. If you are lucky, you will get an odd look that you ( not you specifically, you know.. other people ) give to retarded adults.

Well, I kind of going with the idea that when Smash said "19 year old blonde Jenna" he meant a regular sized person.

If I'm wrong, I'm sure Smash will let me know.




As to the tazer thing, yeah...got the stories mixed up. Sue me.

Having said that, a tazering makes it less likely to damage a "suspect" when subduing them for arrest as it vastly lowers their ability (or motivation, for that matter) to resist.

Right that was the sentence for being black. I heard the cop yelled "I AM THE LAAWWAWWWWWWW!" as he shot him, too.

Um... I was talking about the cops actual boss. You know, the police department? What do you suppose might happen to a beat cop who never responds to a call, never makes arrests, never patrols, never pulls anyone over, never issues any tickets, etc? Assuming crime didn't actually drop to zero, and this is the result of the cop actively choosing to just avoid any confrontation with anyone who might be committing a crime, I'm guessing that cop isn't going to keep his job for long.

You can't actually be this stupid. The cops are paid to patrol and to respond to calls. They are expected to deal with the crazy guy yelling obscenities at random people walking by, or the troublemaker kid who shoplifted some old lady's cat, or the guy who's selling loose cigarettes in front of someone's business and wont leave. They're the ones who are paid to deal with those situations. Insisting that they should have just ignored the guy isn't a legitimate argument. Argue that they should have handled it differently, or used a different take down technique, or whatever. But saying that they could have just walked on by and left him alone ignores the entire purpose of the police officer.

Unless jaywalking normally involves leaning into the window of a cop car, punching the officer in the car repeatedly, and then attempting to grab his gun from him when he drew it to defend himself, maybe it's not jaywalking? And yeah. That's also your answer. That's what he did. Actually, that's not all he did. After having been shot inside the car, Brown retreated. The officer got out of the car and ordered him to surrender. Instead of doing so, he turned around, put his head down and charged the officer.


That's why he was shot to death. Did you really think he was just jaywalking and a cop drove up and shot him? Seriously? Way to conveniently ignore all of the stuff that happened between the jaywalking and the shooting.

Not one of them explained why holding one's arms up stiff is a sign that one is in league with the Devil either.

Let me give you a hint: The police didn't take him down because he was a threat to them. So arguing that he wasn't a threat to them is meaningless. He also wasn't a ballerina, or a space alien, or Elvis, or any of an infinite list of things that the police didn't take him down for.

But it did and it was not only unnecessary but warned. Forcing someone to eat peanuts shouldn't kill anyone either, doesn't mean you should not be held accountable if the person who is allergic to peanuts cries "I can't breathe".

Besides, isn't that the reason why we have "involuntary" charges? If we're not going to charge anyone who involuntary killed someone, but was a direct result of their actions, then why have the charges in the first place?

For heaven's sake don't confuse him. He already has problems with understanding that blacks might on occasion be treated differently than whites. Do you really think he can handle that and concept of involuntary manslaughter?

It is interesting to see how you conflated my black version and your white version to suit your narrative. It does not really help you, but it is still interesting.

For what it is worth, I am not sure cops were supposed to kill people over some minor offenses. Unless I am wrong. Maybe they are. Maybe that is your ideal world.

Did that happen? It's so odd that I missed the photos of the punching injuries, it seems like that would have disarmed a great deal of the "shot from behind while walking away" discussion. Can you link them, please? I'm sure they're everywhere but I don't have a TV and live in a fucking moss covered cave, so I must have missed them. I mean the idea that there are none and that the actual evidence is completely and in every way consistent with Wilson just making that part up is comical, so let's just settle this up now.
