The biggest impediment to winning a fight is the ridiculous notion that you have to fight fair.

If you have to fight, you've already failed to find a more effective solution.

You need to have a meeting with your fellow officers about finding more effective solutions in lieu of shooting unarmed civilians and manhandling four foot ten inch girls.

1. One was a fight initiated by someone who just committed armed robbery and was effectively terminated by appropriate police action.

2. The other precluded a fight by making everyone safer in an instance of non-compliance within a school.

GET AN EFFECTIVE ARGUMENT.

[QUOTE=Zeke;242292]1. One was a fight initiated by someone who just committed armed robbery and was effectively terminated by appropriate police action.

It was effectively terminated by a coup de grace bullet through the top of the braincase. It is funny how police speak eliminates the need for effective communication understood by all.

The appropriate police action is going to end with appropriate jail time served by the police officer.

I wasn't aware the -- appropriately -- deceased armed robber ever attended a Police Academy or was sworn in by any Agency?

So are you suggesting that I should have patiently pointed out to those two guys that what they were doing was unfair? I am certain that they would have quickly responded to reason -not.

Now you're calling Michael Brown an armed robber?

AVOID UNTRUTHS IN YOUR ARGUMENT.

Legally, a size/force discrepancy of that shown absolutely qualifies as his own personage counting as being armed.

It's the same argument allowing escalation to deadly force when attacked by him.

Know what the fuck you're talking about or don't speak, please.
