What could have the cameraman done? He didn't know the cop was gonna shoot. Says the cop is facing 18 years and the the victim 3 years.

so, maybe i missed it, but what did the victim do?
Actually it says his buddy driving the vehicle will get 3 years, the guy who got shot it doesn't say.Originally Posted by Anyway
It followed a brief high speed chase in which a Corvette carrying Carrion, a senior airman who had just returned from military duty in Iraq, crashed on a residential street in Chino, about 45 miles east of Los Angeles.
Prosecutors also charged the Corvette driver, Luis Escobedo, with felony attempting to evade a peace officer while driving recklessly and misdemeanor driving under the influence. He also was to surrender Wednesday and faces up to 3½ years in prison if convicted.
Ahhh I read it quick and assumed he was the driver. Neeeevermind. But yeah it was a high speed chase.
ofn and it's not funny. The guy who got shot died i fi remember correctly.
I like how i said not to take what i wrote out of context and that's exactly what you did. I didn't exemplify 'america' as a group, i clearly said that i believe we're all human, and in that classification as a group and therefore i wouldn't agree with it in any nation, please read what i write before you try to criticize my words.You call me ignorant when you think it's fine to shoot foreigners. In my eyes, a person is a person. Calling America "a group" makes you the dumbest person on the face of the Earth.
America IS a group, regardless of how selfish it is. Personally i extend my boundaries to the human group, i'm not going to lie and say that i'm like mother teresa and a perfect human, but i do what i can in situations i am able.
Ok, let's look at this for a second. You are judging based on what they do, let's look at this video at what these two men are doing. The police officer, is barking orders, then shooting the man that follows them. Upstanding police officer for sure. The soldier, follows the orders given by the police officer, and is rewarded with 2 or 3 bullets. Personally i think that regardless of what this soldier does in the military, he seems a lot more capable than this panicky policeman.How could you possibly put soldiers above police officers? Especially when YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS SOLDIER DOES
I only really have one more thing to say on the subject. I'm not saying that i have no respect for our police force, but i have a ton more for our armed forces. Our police, while there are good ones, mostly comprise of people who waste taxpayers dollars going after petty shit like someone speeding 5 mph over the limit or jaywalking rather than going after criminals that actually make our streets unsafe.You have the nerve to call me a bad cop when I'm the one saying the cop was a retard who wasn't trained correctly? We'll see how your opinion would change if you were held at gunpoint and cops had to save your ass. Soldiers risk their lives during times of war which doesn't happen that often at all (when Bush isnt in the white house) Cops risk their lives everyday for punk asses like you.
Take the town i live in currently, Lakeland FL. It is the meth capital of the world, and this is an up-to-date statistic. The police here spend more time harrassing civilian drivers about petty driving misdimeanors during the daytime hours, than setting up police traps at night for the people who are high/drunk whatever and actually a problem.
It is in very few cases that police officers are required to actually get into the nitty gritty and save lives in a shoot-out, that's what S.W.A.T. etc.. is for. The run of the mill police force in 'most' area's require little more out of their officers than to reach the monthly quota on speeding tickets.
If this was referring to me, i'm atheist. A theology debate would require another thread altogether though >.>. And i don't care what ethnicity or religion someone is, i'm not ok with anyone being shot for no reason like that soldier was.Also because they're Jewish and the poster arguing was obviously Christian
And lastly, i respect the soldiers more because it's them who give us the ability to even argue like this over the internet about what we each think is right. The military might not have the #1 student from MIT, but neither does the police force, and i am willing to bet that nationwide, the police are a lot more corrupt than our military. The corruption lies with the government admins like bush and rumsfeld who use the military.[/quote]
So way to just generalize everything and say no facts besides your town sucks balls. Congrats. "The police are more corrupt than than the military" lol yes because some nobody like you from nobodyville thinks this, it must be true.
And you're not a very good athiest condemning me to hell you hypocrite.
Of course the policeman is barking orders you dumb fuck. These man just crashed their car while running from police in a high speed chase. What do you expect?! "Sir would you please get out of your car thank you." Fuck no. The soldier is not very upstanding, he was just frigging fleeing the cops.
You really haven't the slightest clue what enforcing the law means. Of course people are going to be pulled over for speeding because IT'S OBVIOUS. If someone was walking on the street yelling I have meth on me, you think the cop would walk by? 2 fucking opposite things you imbecile.
You should leave the country because it's people like you that make our society look bad. WASTE TAX MONEY ON POLICE? Are you that dense?! SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS (quoting an earlier poster) IS SPENT ON SOLDIERS TO FIGHT WARS THAT DON'T INVOLVE OUR PROTECTION EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Policemen keep you fucking safe at night. Policemen make sure that computer you're typing on isn't stolen in an armed robbery. Policemen make sure your scum ass doesn't get shot on the street tomorrow or get hit by a speeding/drunk driver. Policemen are alot more deserving of respect than anything you do I bet.
It's people like you that turn cops into assholes. Hearing this bullshit every day of your life just because you're going to work? How would you like to be screamed at by people who are angry that they got caught doing something wrong? Everyday? How would you like it if you arrest the drug dealers or burglars etc, only to have them not be convicted because the prosecutors suck? It wears on you to the point you realize you can't be in the right with these people.
So my advice to you is to learn some frigging respect and maybe they'll respect you back. Until then keep not contributing anything to this country while the police force does.
I sense much anger in you.
Embrace it. Feel it's power! Use your anger; your hatred!
Join me, and together we shall rule the galaxy!!
that's boring.

Think those Bothans are spies?
you could say cops risk their life every day. it is sorta true. but how much higher do you think the fatality rate is for soldiers in iraq? their job is much much more dangerous, hence they'd get a lot more respect from me.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand they're not over there to protect us. So it really isn't a comparison you can make at all.Originally Posted by Julius
I'm not sure who the Bothans are but they sound like Mothans and I don't like moths so I say yes. Blow em up with the totYes. The "Titty of Terror"... I haven't thought up a good game for it yet, really. This'll do until it's produced.

doesn't reall matter what reason they're over there for, they still have the most dangerous job in america for shit pay. and when they die, they still die in service to the country.
And they don't have shit pay. And alot of the time the military actually provides housing. My brother and his wife live in a house given to them by the military. And policemen don't die in service to their country? I don't understand. It does matter why they're over there because what they're doing isn't for us.
No, this is what policeman are supposed to do, not what they actually do.You should leave the country because it's people like you that make our society look bad. WASTE TAX MONEY ON POLICE? Are you that dense?! SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS (quoting an earlier poster) IS SPENT ON SOLDIERS TO FIGHT WARS THAT DON'T INVOLVE OUR PROTECTION EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

And AS I SAID, THE CORRUPTION ISN'T IN THE MILITARY IT'S IN THE GOVERNMENT. I don't care 'why' those soldiers are in iraq, it's not their decision to go or not. That is what people like you don't freaking understand. When these people sign up for the military, they sign away their right to decide what they do, because they made the decision to do what they can for their country. So whethere or not cocksucking george bush sends them there or not, it isn't up to them to say, 'no i am not going'. Just as if there was a good cause to go to war they wouldn't, THAT is why they have my respect, and people like you do not.
And no i'm not a freaking hypocrit because i said 'go rot in hell'. I have my set of beliefs, i imagine you have your own which might include the province of hell, therefore, in your diluted world hell exists and you can still rot there whether it exists for me or not. That's what fucking people like you don't understand, you think your way is right and/or the only way and nobody else can have their own.
You also missed the part where i said the police man is barking orders, THEN SHOOTS THE GUY FOLLOWING THEM. Jesus, do they not teach literacy where you are from? or is reading comprehension left out of the curriculum.
I don't have a problem if i get caught doing something wrong, i know i'm testing the water if i speed, if i get caught so be it. I have a problem with the police sitting in a fucking donut shop then going out and harrassing people while ignoring the real problems(and don't get me wrong, there are a lot of fucking stupid people that give cops shit for no reason). I have a problem with the cop who goes and pulls someone over doing 5 mph over the limit, then goes and picks up a envelope of cash from the local meth dealer to leave them be(and yes that is quite freaking common). That's what i have a problem with, and yes i do know that it goes on, perk of being a psychology/criminology major and knowing the law enforcement of the area.It's people like you that turn cops into assholes. Hearing this bullshit every day of your life just because you're going to work? How would you like to be screamed at by people who are angry that they got caught doing something wrong? Everyday? How would you like it if you arrest the drug dealers or burglars etc, only to have them not be convicted because the prosecutors suck? It wears on you to the point you realize you can't be in the right with these people.
I can sympathize with you on one thing though, it does suck when the police do actually do their job correctly and the judicial system fucks it up, you surely do have my sympathy in that respect. And in that regard how can i blame the police for being arrogant and, knowing that if they do actually do the right thing it'll go to waste because our judicial system sucks. I agree with you there.
If you have a problem with the judicial system then become a laywer and do something about it. If you don't then you're no less the hypocrit you seem to think i am for condemming you to a place i don't believe in.
I'm sorry, i missed the part where you are a somebody from somewhere and therefore correct in everything you say, please continue.lol yes because some nobody like you from nobodyville thinks this, it must be true.
And before you go and tell someone who you don't know about that they don't contribute anything, ask yourself what the hell have you done so great lately? I am a student studying to be a high school counselor, i don't really think there's much more that i can do until i'm finished. You on the other hand are already out there supposedly doing good things...are you?
We're all nobody's and nobody is an exception. I'm sorry if i'm a cynical person but it goes with the territory of having a brain and actually using it. And no i'm not singling you out, for all i know (which i don't) you could be a great cop. However, the majority of cops that i've known in my life are not. They are corrupt every chance that they get if they can get away with it, and only do what makes them look good so that they can advance in their field. Is it right or wrong? Well in a capitalist society, it's no wonder that even our law enforcement agency's only think of way's to improve their own standing.
