You're just mad you didn't achieve a simpleton yes/no from your elaborate (failed) trap.

Mad? Why would I be mad? And you call that elaborate? And a trap? I am not trying to trap you. I am trying to debate, in a constructive way. Object is either I understand your POV, or you acknowledge that you are defending very questionable stuff. Acknowledge to yourself, that is--I certainly don't expect a public climbdown....

Your response was 'yes sometimes.' If you can, please explain to us how this can be justified sometimes.

You are, without a doubt, the worst excuse for a human being that ever walked the face of the Earth.

Next to you Adolph Hitler looks like Mr. Rogers.

Blowing a hole in a baby's chest is never explained away in an enlightened society, or accepted as allowable collateral damage, by anyone.

Allowing a police force to operate without any public accountability is the best possible sign that the laws don't apply to either side. You have joined the criminals by your verbiage and by your justifications....

You are killing the very public whose safety you have sworn to protect.

Merely proves you don't use mirrors...

Use of the word "never" makes any argument fundamentally false.

That's a pretty skinny tree you're hiding behind....

The 'never' is ordinary conversational emphasis, and the basic point remains if you modify it to 'just about never.'

Killing a toddler is not the defining moment of a police force. Here the important word, when used in an inflective moment, is "the." Parsing away a police raid fuck up is your MO, which we have come to expect. The police shortcomings are always forgiven in your brave new world.

You used to be an understanding individual, but somewhere you lost that gene.

If the basic point is "absolutely there are reasons to take such actions."

Some do try to run their department properly.
