  1. I about put this in the RPP but I think here is where it fits in a little better.

  2. The sad part is the guy with the knife was mentally retarded and known in the area to have that ailment. I normally don't get into anyone's outlook on politics, religion and sexual preference because its all based on opinions. The terrible part about the first shooting is the people are protesting about what they believe in. Not the looters or problem starters. Its no way I would ever pass judgment on anyone for sticking up for what they believe in and wouldn't waste my time debating over the net with anyone that it didn't effect. I have no idea what really happened there and not sure if anyone on this site does except what the media throws out to us. I just hope they find peace and move on. its enough racial bias on this forum and in this world as it is. No need to keep kicking it around. Just let the people that get paid to find the truth and justice to do its job. My last thought is I hope if he is found guilty no one celebrates and I hope if he is found innocent no one celebrates. When things like this happen we lose as a nation because we fight all our lives to come together but become divided over the smallest things.

  4. what happened with the cop after the incident at the store is up for debate and will all come out soon. But besides that...and still not taking sides yet, i can't believe how many people here and online have said "that wasn't a robbery, it was just petty theft" or "shoplifting a few cigars" No..... that wasn't shoplifting. That was strong arm robbery. I doubt any of those people who think it was a simple petty theft would say the same thing if that was their father who owned the store and that 300lb bully picked him up by his shirt before tossing him into the rack. Then after that, threatening to go after him again before walking out with a box of blunt wraps that was grabbed off the counter. If it was my father and that fucking criminal did that to him, i wouldn't exactly be upset about what happened in the end result. i am still waiting for the official report though. Why? because i am rational and civilized. Mostly.

  5. Why? This other guy in the same city just miles away from the other incident that this thread is about, is asking to be shot, comes towards the cops after being told to take his hand out of his pockets several times, then takes them out with a knife and proceeds to come towards the cops after being told to drop the knife.. This is just asking for it, and this guy was obviously dumb as a box of rocks to think nothing would happen giving the state of emergency that the city is currently in due to almost an idenctical act of violence with a guy robbing a convince store, and then after wards disobeying a officer, and physically assaulting him. I agree with with both officers in both cases judgement with shooting and killing those for what they did.. Again sure it was over petty theft however their actions after the theft is what lead to them being shot.... If it wasnt for the media choosing what to share on the news, and not tell the whole story of what happened, these riots would not of happened or at least bare minimum wouldn't of been to the extent that they where. However that does not fit medias agenda, reporting on a case of a guy robbing a store, assaulting an officer and the officer shooting him does not draw the same amount of attention to their views which results in much lower rating than if they go and say black man dead after officer shooting him in the back 8 times which is a much better headline and draws everyones attention in and gives them way better ratings. I didnt even hear about this other incident until this afternoon, and I usually watch the news a good bit and listen to a radio show that reports on this stuff. Its damn near the same case which is why I posted it in this thread with 17 pages of replies unlike the other thread that I found out about afterwards that is only 3 or 4 pages deep. But again, this new story didnt get anywhere near the same media attention because the video was out there and there really is not a way for media to twist it and report on half truths at best.

  7. as i said before I'm not taking sides,but a lot of people do dumb shit no matter what color.i was a little offended by the comments made about black leaders not talking about black on black violence.first of all i don't have a black leader showing me the way to live my life! i am a leader for my children and everyone connected to me in my life,but you will never see me on the news,or media. there is a lot to clean up in the black community,and i truly believe it starts with yourself,and everything else will follow.i school my kids everyday,and they are 23 and 21,and the funny part is they don't even feel racsim, ... guess I've done pretty good!

  9. ACTUALLY... There ARE LEADERS who FIGHT to END black on black violence! Just because you don't see it on the news doesn't mean its not happening...! And my church participates in the community FAITHFULLY to fight against this violence along with helping other people who are in need. And besides that, there are PLENTY of different organizations doing the samething! Don't be so ignorant OrionStang said it best.. Its all an agenda! And no I'm not refering to that OPPORTUNIST Al Sharpton when I make these claims!!! Focus- I will say one thing on fox news behalf, name any other cable syndicated news agency, that allows both sides to prevent their views. A lot of people hate fox because they are one of the view who are not afraid to get your face and ask serious questions. And your starting to sound like a liberal left wing activist with selective hearing, you only here what you want to hear. It is fox who exposes these stories and lies long before anyone else. They are the ones who expose others for the editing, I'm not going to argue with you, because you sound like some of those protestors. No matter what facts come out, or the use of rationality, your only going to hear things, one sided. And if you watch Obama's speeches live, their is no need to edit his useless chatter, unless your a dem, never paints a good pic for the left. Woods- you call me ignorant yest you did not disprove my statement. Happy for you that it may be discussed in church, or what not. As far as leaders go, i gave you probably the two most intelligent and reasonable men there is . (Jason Riley and Doc. Ben Carson) But the majority of the black community doesnt want to listen to them, only to call them uncle tom's and race traitors. Because they don't advocate all the violence and excuses. Like i said there is no large out cry and drawn on long lengthy protest's. Say what you will, you dont see the outrage from the black community over black on black crime, So take your one sided views and nonsense elsewhere, That is the main problem today, people are scared to come out speak the truth about what is really going, because it will be deemed not politically correct. And believe me if there was a huge outcry and protest about the black on black crime, the media would love to jump on it, hell it would be the story of the century. No one said anything about talking about it in church, We put it into action!! And if you don't know the meaning of ignorance then obviously "you don't know" ... There's nothing one sided about ANYTHING I've said... Hell, I haven't even gave my word on this subject, so how am I one sided!?! If I were so ONE SIDED I wouldn't have admitted to Al Sharpton as an Opportunist... Never Did I Disagree, or Agree JR or BC, nor did I call them Uncle Toms... It's amazing how you assume a WHOLE race thinks they're Uncle Toms, how do you know If I don't agree with them... And My decision ALONE can make you Ignorant even If I were the only one to agree with them! You seriously have a problem with black people like AJ said in another post.. YOU may not know it but your DEMEANOR says it all! I just responded to your IGNORANT assumption that Black people don't rally to stop Black on Black Crime when I know FOR SURE, That I take part in my church's activities to do so! Everytime there's a situation like this you ALWAYS try to make it seem like Black people are "Animals" and whom ever deserved to die.... You are SICK and don't even know it... I will pray for you! And Just so you know, when it comes to race, I'm color blind!! So don't come at me with your corny excuse to your IGNORANT statements! I worry about whats right and whats wrong, not what any other race is doing better or worse then the next, ESP when there's bad/evil no matter the color of skin! And you really believe the "NEWS" aka THE MEDIA will talk about people coming together LOL..... You obviously are unaware of the agenda and are a product of their vision! When have the media ever been about more positive then negatives?? I'll Wait.....

  10. This is what I dont agree with. So what if he is mentally challenged or retarded as you put it (which is now socially unacceptable to call a person). But the way you are saying it is, since he is mentally challenged it is okay for him to step towards the police with a knife after failing to abide by several commands. What are the police suppose to stand there and run a back ground check on him while he comes at them with a knife to find out if this guy has issues going on? Come on now.... Its like your giving him an excuse saying its okay for him to do what he did because of his condition. If his condition is so serious he shouldn't be roaming the streets freely. But hey if a mentally challenged guy goes and shoots up a school, a movie theater, or if a soldier that has done several tours in a foreign country and the army has noted his mental issues several times and has to see a psychologist its perfectly fine to look down upon that person for doing the mass shootings that they just did and call them a sick bastard. Sounds about right to me.......

  15. You don't use non lethal force to subdue someone wielding a deadly weapon. A knife is considered more dangerous at close range than a gun

  16. The cops can't win. When they use tazers or beanbags, they are criticized for excessive force anyway.

  18. For the sake of discussion, what would you call it if someone were to say the same thing but substitute "blacks" for police? I'll rephrase; 99% of the police that I have dealt with. I honestly do not believe that all police are bad. To answer your direct question "I would think that they were raised a certain way and stuck in their ways". I'm with Meade or whoever said that they don't hate all police and will need them. One day I may need the police again and hope that they are there to help me. Even in those situations I will not feel completely safe as I have been threatened and felt unsafe when I have called the police to help me. I have felt threatened and had guns pulled on me for traffic stops. I guess in certain situations I do not trust certain police officers and I will say that I don't have much faith at all in the justice system. Just cause I'm thinking I will say this: I am black and I think I sort of have the thug look down. It's just the way that I look. I think I look nice and happy most of the time but I'm told that I look like a thug. IDK. I'm a pretty big guy, 6'2" 280 lbs, and a pretty solid build. I have braided hair also. Would you believe that I am in the IT field? Looks don't mean much of nothing. I am a bit geeky at times although I did grow up in the hood. I just have my own mind and strive for more. This also gives me a better understanding than most people posting here about what goes on in these neighborhoods and the mentality of the people here. This is not to say I'm an expert but some peoples opinions on this site are just for attention and for their egos. It's easy to talk about what you would do but if you were in the situation things would be different. If you grew up in a slightly different way then a lot could be different. I don't think that anyone could say what they would actually do if they were truly in the place of the people actually going through this tragedy. Tragedy meaning the shooting, violence, and the looting. Hope this all makes sense. It's hard to type at work and when you have things on your mind. Sorry if everything's jumbled together. Lol, you probably look like the image people have when reading my background

  19. Nobody is mentioning the angle of the shots as they traveled from entry to exit (or end point if no exit). You cant tell shit if you just use an entry point only.

  23. Thee CCA wire will not get hot if its not being stressed.. It has a 250amp rating at 20feet, im running 19foot runs. Im fusing for 150amps most likely, therefor if there is an issue the fuse should blow long before a 250amp fuse. Depending on the fuses, they will most likely blow someplace around 175-200 amps if an issue ever pops up. At that point its still long before exceeding the limit of the wire. OFC wire as well can get warm and even hot to the point it melts of the rubber casing when you exceed the amperage limit of the wire, so that is kind of a moot point. Run for run OFC will win, however its not run for run of wire, its multiple 9 runs of CCA wire that costs half as much of 4 runs of ofc and carries the same amount of current, and with all these runs I am only needing each cca wire to handle around 150amps to satisfy the demand of the power i can make under the hood.

  24. If need be, add like 1/2" wood on top, rubber washers/spacers, then mount amp. I did this before and vibration was reduced A LOT. Cheap and well worth it.
