They specifically shot her because she came to the door with a gun. She could see them just as easily as they could see her. If she had time to pick up her gun and walk across the room she had time to yell out to them that she was the home owner. She also had time to see them and realize that approaching the cops with a firearm might not be the best idea.
Why should she have to announce that she was holding her legal property inside her own home?
Why shouldn't the police have given her time to drop her weapon when they told her to drop her weapon?
You can't be this clueless.
Insulting me does not answer my questions. Please answer my questions:
Why should she have to announce that she was holding her legal property inside her own home?
Why shouldn’t the police have given her time to drop her weapon when they told her to drop her weapon?
Hard to answer questions when you have a mouthful of boot.
I'm not your educator, nor am I under any obligation to answer questions that fundamentally bad. Entitlement doesn't stop bullets.
In other words, those are questions that, if you answered honestly, would undermine your whole argument that the police were justified.
I see, so your justification for the police shooting someone is that they shouldn't feel entitled to not be shot.
You have a choice. You can be right and dead. Or you can be alive and sort it out later.
I never said that she deserved to be shot or that the cops were justified. I only explained why they shot her and why they're likely not to face any consequences for this. I gave no personal judgement. Here is the problem with people like you, you have absolutely no ability for nuance. Anyone who doesn't immediately cheerlead everything you say 100% must mean that they're 100% against you and should be attacked.
it's funny because your behaviour embodies what you claim you're raging against.
Your words:
Sure sounds like you're justifying what they did to me.
That's ridiculous. This entire time, you've been judging her actions.
Also, it's pretty funny that you are complaining about being accused of judging people and then end your post by judging me.
Now that's just a lie. This is all that I said in regards to the U.S. Constitution:
I'm going to ignore the rest of your post because you decided insults and lies are the way to go forward.
You've repeatedly posted the 'it's totally legal' claim.
Your words.
That's how we're playing this game isn't it?
You don't actually know that second amendment is about the right to bear arms and the first amendment is about freedom of speech, do you?
I'm aware they're different.
Are you capable or parsing what you actually read?
This is called an example because you're clearly too wound up over gun rights, I thought I'd give you another example of a similar situation to see if you'd be capable of taking a step back and looking at something objectively. Thanks for answering that question though.
You're lying again! And gaslighting! You said that I came in here talking about freedom of speech. That is a lie. You did. I never said anything once about freedom of speech.
Why you are gaslighting, I don't know. I mean it's not even very good gaslighting.
Read the whole message which is quoted above. I clearly identified that scenario as an example to make a point to you. Good lord.
Well now I can see why you think it's the woman's fault that she got shot. You think it's my fault that you weren't clear too.
It's always the other person's fault somehow.
I was very clear. All you had to do was read up 1 line and your inability to do that is to claim that someone is gaslighting you. Get help.
Like I said, it's always the other person's fault.
yes it's very clear that that is your position. You blame me because you failed to read the words in front of you. Here we see you trying to gaslight the blame onto me like it's my fault your reading comprehension failed. The hypocrisy and projection is really telling.
Yes. I understand that I think it's my fault that you weren't clear.
Again, I realize that you think it's my fault that you weren't clear.
What I don't understand is why you feel repeatedly insulting me achieves anything. Especially when I have yet to reciprocate.
I have no idea why you feel you have to be so hostile to strangers. Do you do this with strangers when you're in the same room with them? Insult them and berate them? I doubt it.
Are you fucking mental?
If that's what you really meant from the start and if you know that people struggle with nuance then why didn't you say what you just said instead of insulting people?
Wow you fucking muppet, answer the question or delete all your comments because you are making a fool of yourself in front of all these nice people
