US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24 *AND* Beyond

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

I do want to add to what Topper rhetorically (I believe) asks regarding when do people comply with officer's instructions.....

and rats "suggestion" of shutting the vehicle off and putting hands out the window.....

If there is blame to be assigned here, it does not solely rest on just the officer or the driver, it primarily rests on the justice system and the politicians who have permitted members of society to break laws with ever decreasing consequences for decades. I rests with a media (both reporters and Hollywood) who have painted law enforcement as the bad guy and excused (if not glorified) the criminal.

If laws were expected to be followed to the tune of A + B = C, then you would see less of this shit because Topper's question would not need to be asked, and rats suggestion would be followed. Moreover, were laws duly enforced, there would be no need for ICE at this time, and any attempt to justify them would be the height of insanity.

You have a kumbaya with your online nemesis and still managed to take a shot at Swedes.

Bravo, sir.

Well seismic forces clearly had Donny reeling.....couldn't leave him in the lurch like that.

Sure did. The Coriolis Effect was reversed for a moment there because I noticed the turd I flushed started going down clockwise.

A Swedish policeman would have attempted to deescalate the situation by interacting with the public in a positive and non-threatening manner.

Did you know that helicopter blades spin in the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere and stop when crossing the equator?

So as more news comes out

The woman had been doing this road block stunt all day as ICE moved through town.
The vehicle she waved through was not law enforcement.
She was repeated told to get out of the car.

At what point do you stop de-escalating the situation and start acting as the law enforcement you are?

How much repeated lawlessness do you tolerate before acting?
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Well, to be fair - I think they acted exactly as the law enforcement they are...

I'm sure shooting someone is the last form of "action" law enforcement should take, wouldn't you agree? Of course, I'm not in law enforcement - but wouldn't a properly trained entity have many prior steps to de-escalate prior? Blocking her in with vehicles? Spike Strips? Waiting until another moment/opportune time to arrest her, even at a later time/date?

If as you say, this person was doing this all day - shouldn't they have been better prepared?

ICE hiring/training lately has been called into question on numerous occasions. And this shows it.

Fair point, but shooting an unarmed person repeteadly in the head is normally not the best answer to any given situation.

Btw, I've watched the video at normal speed, and there does not look to be any danger for either agent.
Looking at the tilting of the front wheels, it does not look as she is trying to run over the agent that shoots her, but trying to get away from the scene, which she also almost does when he shoots her.

I think this explains a lot:
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to FOX 9 the officer who fired his weapon on Wednesday is the same officer who was dragged 50 yards by a suspect in a vehicle in Bloomington in June.

From what I've been reading today about US case law, a LEO cannot put themselves in harms way and then claim self-defense.

Tampon Timmy of false valor in his own National Guard career, is prepping the National Guard to go against ICE.

This is the guy who hid in the Governor's Mansion while Minneapolis-St. Paul burned in the BLM riots waiting four days to call out the National Guard.

Do you think Grip Skylark realized when she posted that, that 47 days of Academy training is more than double the *up to 4 x 5 days plus a bit of hand holding with the warm rolls and butter?
