  1. I look at the bigger picture too though, sure it might do a decent number for the price even though they lied about it but what kind of quality is it.

    To me if they would lie that much about the numbers I'd have to guess that they have no problem selling low quality products too.

    There are plenty of amps out their that probably make what they claim or close too it that are pieces of junk as well.

    Or how about them ones that make rated but have a nice fuzzy line on a o-scope.

    i am talking about clean power. Almost all amps can put out some amount of clean power before it gets dirty...rendering the test over. How much power before it gets dirty is the question.

    I was trying to relay this point the other day. Alot of amps will do "close to rated" dirty power which might be fine for alot of the general public, but to alot of us on this forum, we know better and wouldn't trumpet an amp as the next best thing. From a business point of view, it's a shitty way to do thing, but a lot of amp companies do it. Theres really no "standard" (CEA-Compliance isnt a standard unless a company pays for it) so you are stuck not knowing unless you dyno every amp.

  2. Sounds like a well worn street cop just put a bureacratic dipshit in his place. I'd bet my bottom dollar two close friends of mine, both local Sheriff's deputies, would agree whole heartedly.

    I get the point he's trying to make, but he contradicts himself to the point of annoyance.

    And your words contributed to what happened Friday night and on into the wee hours of Saturday. According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, you said the following regarding the release of the video: “There was no need to release it,” Johnson said calling the reported theft and the killing entirely different events.

    Well Captain, this veteran police officer feels the need to respond. What you said is, in common police vernacular—bullshit. The fact that Brown knew he had just committed a robbery before he was stopped by Officer Wilson speaks to Brown’s mindset. And Captain, the mindset of a person being stopped by a police officer means everything, and you know it.

    Let’s consider a few examples:

    On February 15, 1978 Pensacola Police Officer David Lee conducted a vehicle check. He didn’t know what the sole occupant of the vehicle had recently done, but the occupant did. Who was he? Serial killer Ted Bundy. Bundy attempted to disarm Lee. Lee was able to retain his firearm and eventually took Bundy into custody.

    On April 19, 1995 Oklahoma State Trooper Charlie Hangar stopped a vehicle for minor traffic violations. He didn’t know that 90 minutes earlier the traffic violator, Timothy McVeigh, killed 168 people with a truck bomb at the Murrah Federal Building. But McVeigh sure knew it, didn’t he? Fortunately, given his training and experience Hangar was able to take McVeigh into custody for carrying a concealed firearm. It was days later before it was determined that McVeigh was responsible for the bombing.

    On May 31, 2003 then-rookie North Carolina police officer, Jeff Postell, arrested a man digging in a trash bin on a grocery store parking lot—an infraction that would rise to about the level of jaywalking. Postell didn’t know that he had just captured Eric Rudolph, the man whom years earlier had killed and injured numerous people with bombs and was on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list.

    So now, let’s consider Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson’s stop of Michael Brown. Apparently Wilson didn’t know that Brown had just committed a strong-arm robbery. But Brown did! And that Captain, is huge.

    Allegedly, Brown pushed Wilson and attempted to take Wilson’s gun. We’re also being told that Officer Wilson has facial injuries suffered during the attempt by Brown to disarm him. Let’s assume for a moment those alleged acts by Brown actually occurred. Would Brown have responded violently to an officer confronting him about jaywalking? Maybe, but probably not.

    Is it more likely that he would attack an officer believing that he was about to be taken into custody for a felony strong-arm robbery? Absolutely.

    All the examples he gave, there was reasonable suspicion for the person to be stopped and reason for an arrest.

    The reported theft and the killing WERE entirely different because the police chief said the officer was not aware.

    Besides for walking on the street, there was no other reason to stop Brown. In all honesty, based on what is being said, this is how they want us to think it played out:

    Officer: Hey stop walking on the street blocking traffic

    Brown: Fuck You Cop

    Officer: Get out of the street

    Brown then walks to the officers car and attacks the officer ?

    Any reasonable person would have to say there had to be some sort of confrontation with BOTH of them to escalate that far.

  3. Ferguson, Missouri (CNN) -- The Ferguson, Missouri, police officer who killed Michael Brown says the teenager rushed at him full speed in the moments before the shooting, according to an account phoned into a St. Louis radio station and confirmed as accurate by a source with detailed knowledge of the investigation.

    According to the account on KTFK, phoned in by a woman who identified herself as "Josie," the altercation began after Officer Darren Wilson rolled down his window to tell Brown and a friend to stop walking in the street.

    When Wilson tried to get out of his cruiser, Brown first tried to push the officer back into the car, then punched him in the face and grabbed for his gun before breaking free after the gun went off once.

    A diagram from the autopsy shows entry and exit wounds.

    Wilson pursued Brown and his friend, ordering them to freeze, according to account. When they turned around, Brown began taunting Wilson, saying he would not arrest them, then ran at the officer at full speed, according to the caller.

    Wilson then began shooting. The final shot was to Brown's forehead, and the teenager fell two or three feet in front of Wilson, the caller said.

    The account matches Wilson's telling of events to investigators, according to the source.

    If true, the account represents the first telling of events from the perspective of Wilson, whose shooting of Brown has touched off nightly protests and violence in the suburban St. Louis city.

  4. oh wait sorry, this is the picture the media wants you to see:

    What exactly are you saying? I'm just trying to understand the point your trying to make. It seems as though you are determined to try to paint a negative image of this kid. But for what? Pics with teenagers putting up middle fingers is normal in this age group, or at least something I've seen plenty of... And posts about wanting to shoot cops for killing their friend in what at least they view in a unjustified manner wouldn't surprise me out of any person, and I'm sure nobody is worried about them since about 99.9% chance that they wont act on those ideas.

    And honestly even in my opinion he doesn't look too much nicer in the school pic than any of the other ones lmao. But that was a serious question though, what exactly are you trying to prove?

    Edit - I guess I'm saying he looks like a normal teenager to me

    If you took the time to read my other posts in this thread you would see where I said both parties probably hold some blame in this matter.

    The pictures above show the same media sensationalism about an innocent black youth gunned down by police, as what happened during the trayvon Martin case. Why can't CNN or MSNBC use the pictures that show who Brown really was? It's horrible that someone lost their life, no matter the scenario, but c'mon.

  5. inb4 owning guns does not a criminal make.

    Never said that. What I DID say though is sometimes people are not how they're always perceived. Nate for example, is in IT however, like he said, has a passion for guns and such. That doesn't make him a bad person, but the point I was trying to convey was your perception of someone isn't always what It seems.

    I don't want to get attacked on this because I do think this kid probably pulled a stunt like "why are you harassing me" or was confrontational is some manner. my comments above were for the same of being devils advocate about the police officer.

    this is the cop who did the shooting. Anyone think this guy just doesnt ftit he over aggressive mold you would expect if they were just crossing the street minding their own business? I really hope his cruiser had the dash cam running because they are going to need to release it in order to clear this guy and not have the entire city burn. I just dont picture this guy as aggressive at anything other than a science fair.

    I guess so, and I'm sure there's a reason he reacted the way he did. But to your point about him looking like he wouldn't be aggressive, there's several members on this board that if you saw their picture, you would think the same, but they're the same people who have an arsenal in their house. Just food for thought, can't really judge a book by it's cover.

  7. While I still think there's more to the story than has been revealed yet, there's a few things I still find odd.

    1) he was face down on the street meaning he could have had his back towards the officer.

    2) the police chief says the officer didn't know about the robbery when he engaged with Brown

    3) His body was removed in an SUV after hours instead of an ambulance.

    There's just some strange handling of the case, can't wait till forensic evidence come out and more details about the officers injury.

  8. What if it is found out that he actually wrestled the cop for his gun? Who know's if that is true or not but if it is then what?

    http://news.yahoo.com/turmoil-tear-gas-way-hope-ferguson-053336976.html

    It's kinda like when George Zimmerman killed an "innocent" kid walking home, until it was found out the kid beat him to the ground and cracked his head open.

    Nevertheless, I still think George Zimmerman should have been held somewhat liable for Martin dieing.

  9. On the news they showed people stealing rims and electronics. And then people on Twitter were saying don't loot your neighborhood, go loot the white neighborhood. It seems there was a lot of ignorance surrounding this whole situation and people took it as an opportunistic time to destruct the very place they live for their own benefit. You only hear about the police shooting at the civilians but we should also talk about the "civilians" (animals) throwing homemade firebombs and rocks and such at the police. Right or wrong, this isn't how you're supposed to handle a situation.
