I think we can stop talking about the 10-20 thing, though. DarkDragoon already said he was just mad when he said that. 
quote:
Ja'Deth Issar Ka'bael had this to say about Reading Rainbow:
it still seems unusual that this officer is going to traffic stops with a shotgun. Even if there's multiple people in the vehicle.
It wasn't just a traffic stop, though. The cop was told those people had 'car jacked' that car. Which leads one to believe they would be armed.
The real cause of all this was bad information.
quote:
From the book of Super Kagrama, chapter 3, verse 16:
Getting handcuffed on the ground and your family pet that you've loved for years get shot can't be good.
I've been handcuffed at a traffic stop before.
It was an interesting experience.

What did they accuse you of?

Reverand Del's fortune cookie read:
What did they accuse you of?
It wasn't just me. I was with my father on the way to the gun range, so we had a pair of pistols and rifles sitting between us in the truck.
He'd run a stop sign that neither of us noticed, right in front of a cop.
Cops get nervous when you're packing more heat than they are, but I don't blame him at all.

Ja'Deth Issar Ka'bael spewed forth this undeniable truth:
I dunno...maybe it's just me, but it still seems unusual that this officer is going to traffic stops with a shotgun.
The Fark links are down at the moment (Fark is borked), so I can't find the direct quotes, but...
This wasn't a trafic stop. The department he works for (city police) was called in for some backup and support for what they was told was a felony stop being made by another department (state troopers, I think?). A felony stop is considered a dangerous situation, the subjects may be armed and dangerous. Precautions are to be taken accordingly.
THAT is why he had the shotgun out. He didn't know the full details of what was going on, just that he was supposed to be providing cover and backup to other officers in what may be a dangerous situation.

We were all impressed when Someone Else wrote:
Oh nose, the poor doggy!Look on the bright side; the police officer won't be frowned upon if he chooses to eat it.
Guh?...

Drysart wrote this then went back to looking for porn:
I'd like to submit that nobody in this thread knows the level of stress involved in being a police officer during an unusual traffic stop.Sure, it's easy to look at it afterward and say "well he shouldn't have shot, that dog wasn't looking threatening at all", but the pure unadulterated fact of the matter is that you have the luxury of not being in that situation as it unfolded, and knowing that (a) you're not in potentially mortal danger watching it, and (b) you know the outcome in advance. It's ohhh sooo easy to be critical of the officer's behavior with those things going for you.
The sad thing is that this cop's career is probably ruined because of this incident.
Maybe not ruined but he might have to work his way back to where he was.
And you're absolutely correct. You get called out to stop someone who just robbed a place. They may be armed and since they are in the car that puts you at a tactical disadvantage. Adrenaline is now running the show...
(And she said it in a thick southern accident.. coincidence? I don't think their family tree branches.)
Dumbass.
"Dumbass."
Edit: And just to piss in your Cheerios, even after all the publicity the internal investigators reviewed the evidence and called the killing a clean shoot.
Though I strongly suggest you learn to read before you open your mouth in the future. I never said anything about the dog. The dog dying sucks. I feel sorry for the dog. The dog does not equal the family. Which is who I addressed. You are aware that there were humans involved in this conflict besides the police officer who shot the dog, yes? [ 01-11-2003: Message edited by: Frog ]
Even if you were not (and I think you are just backpeddling now) the fact that you completely disregard the emotions of family DOES mean that you simply don't care to even think of why they said the things they said.
Regardless of what you ment the personality of the people does not lower the value of the dog, nor does it lower the pain that they felt.
And I strongly suggest you learn to clarify what you are talking about.
So the internal investigators ruled it was fine hmmm? that is saddening. its a shame you are such a person to tell me that "just to piss in my cheerios"
It says alot about you as a person.

DarkDragoon had this to say about (_|_):
Actually, the dog WAS part of the family. so you were talking about the dog.
I don't consider the dog a part of the family, so I don't refer to it as a part of the family. And when I refer to the family, I'm not referring to the dog.
Has your visit to reality been fun?

Obviously everyone considers the dog a part of the family D, Dark Dragooon said so!
That's how these things work, you know. When in a valid arguement, one must resort to claiming that the other truly has no idea what the hell he is saying, to further the arguement and consequently, their point.
Dark Dragoon managed to do this, and look like a big fucking moron at the same time.
So obviously he's right.

DarkDragoon had this to say about Robocop:
And im so glad the rest of you decided to come up with a intellegent arguement too... oh wait, you have just been jumping on the bandwagon and hurling insults. I forgot that is the way to win a arguement =P
I'm convinced this is no longer an arguement and just you speaking bullshit out of your mouth. Snoota made a valid point, and then for no real reason you said "Well you see, this is what YOU MENT, THEREFORE YOU ARE A BAD PERSON"
Please, I do need to know this, how does that make any sense whatsoever?
The fact that he worded what he said poorly does not mean im trying to make him out to be a "BAD GUY" I am simply replying to what he said.
Or should I completely ignore undertones now? If I were to say, "I really love pencils being jabbed in my eye, no really..." would you take it at face value, or would you say, "hmmm... perhaps he means something else"
Well, that is how I took his post, as there was no reason (in my mind) to bring the subject up again except to troll.
If none of you are posting other then to troll, take it to PM's with me. otherwise let this dead subject die.

Everyone else understood him just fine. I strongly suggest you learn how to read.
And I kinda agree with Snoota (I won't totally agree without seeing that interview). Calling the police "terrorists" is like calling them "Nazis".
That family deserved something back for what happened to them and their beloved pet. What they went for was pettyness and small minded revenge. That's their choice, nobody's really going to listen to them now that they've started showing that kind of attitude. [ 01-12-2003: Message edited by: Palador ChibiDragon ]
A bad accident happened.
It's a dog.
A dog.
A bystander gets shot in a shootout by a police officer, it probably doesn't even make newspapers.
Yes, damn the evil American government.
That dog is a victim of the tyranny of our democratic republic.
Fucking evil Police Officers...
Seriously, if you're going to carry a torch, carry a torch for something seriously important in the long run like Amnesty International or something. [ 01-12-2003: Message edited by: Lashanna ]

Yes.
Are you people really going to argue with me that nobody considers their pets part of their family? just because YOU don't doesn't mean that nobody does m'kay?
Every so often I have to remind myself why I lurk instead of post, and this is exactly why... I didn't kiss ass my way up the "EC social ladder" to get into the little clicks you are in.
You people savagely defend each other just because of that, ignoring the real arguement and simply going for insults because its easier to attack the person then address the issue.
Do you people even listen long enough to understand what i'm angry about here? its not the dog, or the people... It's the fact that the police officer refused to close the door and got into a situation that caused him to panic because of it.
It was the WILLFULL refusal of preventing the situation from occuring, it could have been a dog or a little kid, it doesn't matter! [ 01-12-2003: Message edited by: DarkDragoon ]
