Yeah. That's the problem I was talking about. Fuck shit piss why do you think I mentioned it?
Because you seem to know next to nothing zbout it?
Then they could have used flash bangs.
Did they have any?
Firing with intent to kill is one step beyond where I'd go.
Then you very possibly would be dead, right now, as well as any congressman the mob reached.
The cops had to do something. If they'd done nothing at all to intervene then the woman wouldn't have gotten trampled either. But the rioters placed themselves in a hazardous situation and if they got hit by a ricochet it would have been by accident and unavoidable.
Accidentsl deaths from guns discharged before the conditions of deadly force are met ARE fucking avoidable. They are avoided because we don't shoot warning rounds.
One warning shot might have saved her life. I guess you just don't think it was worth the effort.
Ah. You can take this appeal to emotions and shove it up your ass.
Ashli was military, just like me. I have stood security guard just like she did. And just like the guard did.
I do think her death was a tragedy.
As was the death of the two cops.
And today's cop that suicided.
Taserballs, not as much, but some.
i place a lot of the blame on Trump and his enablers.
But i still do not think warning goddamned shots are worth considering.
So I take it the phrase "warning shot" has no meaning to you.
are you not paying attention? I am arguing exactly because 'warning shot' HAS meaning for me. It means making the situation worse all too often. It means a bullet fired with no idea who or what will be hit. It means other people in the area will hear a shot, not know if conditions of deadly force are met, or we're still inthe 'warning' phase, and their reactions will be the worse for the confusion.
You're a Navy man, right? Does firing a "shot across the bow" ever make sense? You know, in order to save lives by making it clear what the next step will be?
Not a valid comparison. A shot across the bow hits the ocean.
We do not fire warning shots over the bridge.
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You are right. Why didn't I think of that?
How odd you were not persuaded by something that was not posted to be persuasive. Just a reaction to your further disconnect from the realities involved.
I get it. Shoot to kill and everything works out for the best. And it didn't waste a lot of bullets.
yes, exactly. Six dead is, indeed, my idea of 'for the best.'
