TOTALLY GEEKED!

From my FB:

The same message below has been spread for more than fifty years. When will people listen? When will the message be heard? How many more people will have to die until it is realized that we are tearing humanity apart?

Stop the hatred, stop the insanity. Show respect and compassion. You don't have to like what others believe in. Show what you believe in.

I don't care what religion you are or are not, hate and violence are never promoted in any of it. Islam, Christianity, Hindu, Buddhism, Rastafarian, even Athesism. Hate and violence are not a part of it.

I'm trying to think of any of the people shot by police in the last 2-3 years that were not fighting with or posing a threat to the officer or those around them.

Only the one in the most recent has been questionable.

And I'm willing to put money on there being a lot more to that story.

You want people to stop being shot by the police?

They need to stop breaking the law!

Who ever shot these Texas officers are more than stupid.

And the best part is, when they are caught and convicted, they will most likely get the death penalty.

I do not feel the least bit sorry for criminals who are killed while committing crimes.

 Yes.

The person who shot the Dallas police won't get the death penalty because the police sent a robot in with a bomb and blew that azzhat up. Rightly so too.


I don't think that driving with a broken tail light is a crime worthy of the death penalty. The gentleman shot in Minneapolis was a working man. He had no criminal history beyond a few minor traffic violations. He was recently promoted to a supervisor at his job - in the public schools. He wasn't a thug who was a career criminal. He was a good guy with a gun that he disclosed to officers. And he was murdered in cold blood. For no reason.

 And, frankly, all the half truths & shoddy reporting add fuel to a fire that's already barely contained.

 Breaking the law is not a license for a public execution Lilly.  There have been a lot of very egregious cases where cops are too quick to use lethal force.  Now, the standard is "oh i felt threatened" whether or NOT there is anything in reality to back it up.  If they say they felt threatened, then that justifies killing literally anybody.  They can walk down the street and shoot people claiming they "felt threatened".  Cops are supposed to be trained to operate under duress and highly charged situations.  It seems they have lost the art of conflict resolution and deescalation.  You don't tell someone who just told you that they have a concealed weapon to reach into their pocket to show you their permit.  Have them keep their hands in the air and the cop should remove the gun.  It's basic commonsense.  

  I also agree that there have been instances where Police were absolutely justified.  There needs to be a high standard of training for Police to use lethal force.  We need to stop excusing it when it is completely unreasonable.  For instance, tacking and killing and choking Eric Garner for selling loose cigarrettes?  Come on.  They are pronouncing a death sentence on people for minor crimes.

---

 And I do not think that happens in 98% of the cases.

Most of the time is justified.

 I did not say or imply anything, if you believe that to be so, its on you. Not me. I simply commented on what I read about trump in the article about the shooting.

 And we are now supposed to read minds?  What article?  Not in the one posted.

---

 Read minds? NO, read what I wrote, Trump is scared. SO WHAT? jeeze talk about looking for a fight.

---

 You said you read it in an article, yet you didn't post an article indicating that.  I asked you about that, yet you go right into I must be picking a fight.  WTH?

 This is all true from my perspective.  It is crazy, mentally disturbed people who committed the shootings in Dallas.  The Black Lives Matter org needs to stand down and instead embrace the mantra that ALL lives matter.

 I know what I typed, gosh you are like a dog with a bone. 

Yes I read an article, I posted I see Trump cancelled his visit ... he is scared. 

How you interpreted it is what is questionable here. 

Last night’s horrific execution-style shootings of 12 Dallas law enforcement officers – five of whom were killed and seven wounded- is an attack on our country. It is a coordinated, premeditated assault on the men and women who keep us safe. We must restore law and order. We must restore the confidence of our people to be safe and secure in their homes and on the street. The senseless, tragic deaths of two people in Louisiana and Minnesota reminds us how much more needs to be done. This morning I offer my thoughts and prayers for all of the victims’ families, and we pray for our brave police officers and first responders who risk their lives to protect us every single day. Our nation has become too divided. Too many Americans feel like they’ve lost hope. Crime is harming too many citizens. Racial tensions have gotten worse, not better. This isn’t the American Dream we all want for our children. This is a time, perhaps more than ever, for strong leadership, love and compassion. We will pull through these tragedies.

 And you will be responding to your made up article when?  You know, the imaginary one where you drew the conclusion about someone being scared?  Why else would you make that up?  Only to try to bash him.  So respond to your lie and then we can move on to your other questions.
