Man Calls Suicide Line, Police Kill Him

S.J.WAmerican police are some of the dumbest and every day I hear shit about one officer or another misusing his/her power. A man had a stroke in a car and wasn't responding to police and the police tased him. Shit America, you need to reform police training big time. Maybe take out that rule where you can actually be too smart to be an officer?

Spagett+Please go back to your cave in canada.

JAHpowOh let's blame the gun again!

This is totally on the officers and their thought process...which clearly was lacking.

S.J.Wwhat's wrong? Don't like hearing that your precious America isn't it's all cracked up to be? And I'd happily live in Canada over America any day.

Spagett+I know you would rather live in Canada because you are afraid of black people and any real diversity in your life. Enjoy living in your box of white heteronormativity you pig.

S.J.Wgot any other made up facts you wanna spit out?

S.J.Whmm move from Manly, Australia to Toronto Canada and then over to Quebec soon enough but yeah "afraid of any real diversity" , lol got any other made up facts you wanna spit out?

Lonely"Amercan police are the dumbest" kindve generally and insulting to those who have died and served as officers. There are stupid cops out there. You see them everyday because the media pinpoints it. Controversy sells.

S.J.Wwhy should the media focus on police doing their jobs properly? That's just dumb, like congratulations on doing the job you're paid to do, maybe we should have a parade for all the police officers who don't brutally bash people and abuse their power. Unless an officer does something amazing like in the case of Steven Enns in 2012, then the media doesn't have to publicize what they're doing, however an officer abusing their power, yeah that should be frong page news. Police are there to serve and protect. And American police are the worst out of any first world countries. They shoot people at over 70 times more than other nations. And off course being an officer is dangerous, being a taxi driver is however more dangerous than being a police officer.

.Hugo.I dont think anyone should pass judgement on the officers, victim or anyone else in this situation without knowing the exact details of what happened inside the house. I guess this is the only article ive read on it so maybe another sheds some more light? I just think its stupid to jump to conclusions right away based on the medias opinionated article.

theabortionatorI mean if they jumped in armed with assault rifles it wasn't as if shooting him was a complete afterthought.

But I do agree, who knows and these things always pop up and sometimes it turns out to be completely different.

don't really care though

LonelySo why aren't er surgeons who malpractice on the front page news ever day. It's their job to save people's life. So why aren't they brought to the front page every time that happens? It's kindve important and people put their life in the surgeons hands. And Im not discrediting you but I would like to see the stats that go along with your statements.

Spagett+"I moved from one place with a white dominated Eurocentric culture to another, and I am planning on moving to another one soon"
--S.J.W

S.J.WDoctors who malpractice should be ousted. In Australia it was headline news for about 2 weeks that a doctor raped his patience while they were under or something like that. Just like it's big news when a teacher has sex with a student or a politician is found guilty of corruption. If you're in a level of power over someone and mis use that power you deserve to be publicly ousted by the media.

And source for 70 times number stat

.Hugo.I mean it would be the same situation if they had handguns and shot him, a bullet is a bullet. I highly doubt it would have changed the situation at all

LonelyBut aren't we talking about the U.S. Here? There is nowhere near the media coverage for things like malpractice and political corruption. As you said yourself everyday it is the same thing.
And I knew that stat I was talking about the more dangerous to be a cab driver stat.

S.J.WYes, there should alot more coverage of doctor/ political corruption, but the media only cares about money.And police brutality sells papers and gets people to click on your news site. Websites like Aljazeera are much better about being objective, with news sites like CNN and Fox they only care about attacking the other party.

LonelySo you're agreeing with the fact that police brutality is focused on by the media to gain an economic advantage?

S.J.Wlolololol, Toronto is around 50% minorities, so I wouldn't exactly say it's "eurocentric". Toronto has a higher minority rate than America, with America minority rate being at around 33%. You're a roll here

S.J.Wyeah I do, I'm not disputing that fact.

Spagett+Listen to yourself. Just because a place has people in it that report themselves as "visible minorities" doesn't mean it isn't Eurocentric city. There are people in France and England who are "visible minorities" too. And oh yeah the most common ethnic origin in Toronto is English. If you don't think Toronto, a city that was created by white europeans, isn't a western Eurocentric city then you are dull as shit.

And the fact that you would talk about a city's "minority rate" means that you are trying way to hard. Just accept the fact that you live in a pretty white place and be happy with it. It isn't a bad thing or a good thing.

S.J.Whmm move from Manly, Australia to Toronto Canada and then over to Quebec soon enough but yeah "afraid of any real diversity"

S.J.Wlolololol, Toronto is around 50% minorities, so I wouldn't exactly say it's "eurocentric".

S.J.WWhere did I ever say that Toronto wasn't eurocentric? I was rebutalling your statements on me being afraid of any real diversity and afraid of black people which had 0 basis for anything. And yeah, when having discussions you use facts such minority rate and other such things. It's how discussions work. You literally just made up some bullshit statement and then use that bullshit statement to try and belittle me. It's not working, where did I say that oh yeah since I moved from one country to another that means I much more in tune with cultural diversity?

LonelySo what point are you trying to make. That we shouldn't report on the officer who is "doing his job" and gets his face blown off, but should report on the trigger happy cop who had a itchy finger?

S.J.Wwhy should the media focus on police doing their jobs properly? That's just dumb, like congratulations on doing the job you're paid to do, maybe we should have a parade for all the police officers who don't brutally bash people and abuse their power. Unless an officer does something amazing like in the case of Steven Enns in 2012, then the media doesn't have to publicize what they're doing, however an officer abusing their power, yeah that should be frong page news. Police are there to serve and protect. And American police are the worst out of any first world countries. They shoot people at over 70 times more than other nations. And off course being an officer is dangerous, being a taxi driver is however more dangerous than being a police officer.

S.J.Wway to put words in my mouth. I'm saying the media shouldn't focus on an everyday officer doing his/her job. But in special cases if an officer dies or does something brave then yeah the media should be like well he/she was a legend, like they already do with bravery awards. And yes, all police brutality should be reported, it's how the system gets reformed. If no one addressed the issues of police misusing their power then it would never change.

Lonely...

.CJ.This is why we need cameras on police men.

.Hugo.I mean it would be the same situation if they had handguns and shot him, a bullet is a bullet. I highly doubt it would have changed the situation at all

S.J.WI said you were putting words in my mouth because you brought up officers getting shot and the media not focusing on that. I never said the media shouldn't focus on officers getting shot.

LonelyNo you said they should only be recongnized if the do something amazing or heroic. Like save somebody from a burning building like your example was.

S.J.Wwell that doesn't also suggest getting shot? So you think putting yourself in the line of fire isn't heroic?

S.J.Wwhat's wrong? Don't like hearing that your precious America isn't it's all cracked up to be? And I'd happily live in Canada over America any day.
