Dont they train those cops some tai kwon do???? karate???? geeeeeeeeeeeeez I could have had that guy down in 3.2 seconds WITHOUT A GUN!!!

you tell em and do you see the other cops just standing around. Like if it was that serious then why where the other ones just standing there. The guy was frustrated and he felt cause hes a cop no one can challenge him and if you do then they have the right to do whatever they want! Stick him in prison with all the convicts.

ya just another black punk is what they think.......de-humanizing!!!! I see too many gun happy cops. I wonder how many we dont see???

To make random comments and assume you know what is best in every situation is just wrong.

While i in no way think the Oakland killing was justified at this time.. i do say think before you speak, please. A person gave his opinion on the situation then you gave yours.. now i give mine. Pat didn't want to shot an unarmed man.. Pat died for that call.

In the military it was cut and dry.. they had guns and we did too. Much harder to be a police officer then being a Marine ever was.

There were no Riots when he died... R.I.P.

While not everything is black and white.
Somethings are just wrong.

Have a good night.

okay i cant resist just one more and i wont go off topic anymore how about the wharf i love it and my buddies sister owns mcgees thats where i hang out and get drunk

Have you lost your mind? "Rioting is a great way of..." doing absolutely nothing but collasping the economy of the entire area, injuring innocent bystanders, and over burdening what tax payers are left with replaceing the public property and hireing even more police. When businesses fail there are even fewer taxes paid and fewer jobs.

The people rioting are not bringing awareness to anything but the fact that Okland has allowed parts of it's city to become a cesspool of unemployment, crime, and gang warfare. The riots discourage investment, create long standing hatred, and do little but to make the rich withdraw and the poor poorer.

I will bet good money to bad that the person resisting arrest had a criminal record that wasted enough tax dollars to buy every person on Mingle Forums tonight a Limo to a Steak Dinner and then some. And I am fairly sure when it shakes out that 95% of the people rioting benifit in no appreachable way from doing so. Unless they are seriously injured and end up on public assistance disability or jail. I just imagine for some jail in the winter is a viable option.

yaaaaaaaa the wharf is nice.....lots of tourists. Alot of great seafood in the area.

hahaaaaaaaaaa I love this picture!!!!

Its my favourite imaginary eric boyfriend picture!!!

The most effective way i taught/learned how to "disarm" a person invovles breaking one or more of their bones. The other choices are black out spots.. areas on a human body that will inflict so much pain when pulled/jabbed/kicked, that a person will literally lose the ability to see. It is a 3 sec window that allows them to be captured or killed. Its called Marine Corps LINE Combat System or the LINE (Linear Infighting Neurological Override Engagement), i should know i taught the class as a Sergeant.

But that being said its not what Police are trained to do.. if every arrest ended in a broken bone to contain a suspect police department would be sued to crap. They are taught non-leathal, but also sometimes ineffective methods of containing a subject. Why ineffective, because the human body is a amazing machine when fed with adrenaline.

Everything is easy to have an opinion on when you look never have been put in that position.

i got a thing about the monkey in the park. whenever i go for crab i sit and feed the monkey quarters. have you ever seen that guy there? Thats a smart monkey.
