Why Was It Necessary To Shoot This Child 11 Times?!!

Aneeda72 said:
I was stopped a few times on my way home from work by police even though I had disabled plates and am an older woman. I had a van and it could clearly be seen that I had a walker in the back of my it. Same for a friend of mine, in the same “shape” as me with disability plates.

Why were you stopped?
The disability flags and your age doesn't explain why you were stopped.
What was the result?
 

I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to post the following video or not. I have always enjoyed listening and watching Larry Elder on his website and his podcasts. He has been a friend to law enforcement, so many may or will think him to be biased. Think what you like, that’s everyone’s prerogative, but it does make sense.

I responded to your post #32 . I never mentioned anything about the shooting of the child.

As for running from the police , yes IMO that justifies what ever the police on scene deem necessary to stop a fleeing suspect.

Hmm, a suspect, not a criminal, just a suspect, who could be innocent of anything, or disabled, or scared. My husband was once a suspect, held at gunpoint, because his car, a pinto, was suspected. Good thing the car did not run off, my husband d would have had a long walk. 😂

I was stopped because I was driving at after 8/9 o’clock in a residential area. My friend was stopped because she was driving after 8/9 o’clock in a business area. We were both asked what we were doing out so late in the areas we were in. Our plates were run. Our police always run the plates before a stop.

Our answers were on the way to work. We both had to show our work badges. We worked for the only company in that area open 24 hours. And off we went. Also, when they ran the plates, they knew we were disabled elderly woman. We were in our sixties. We were still stopped.

If one is not guilty/ indeed innocent ? Why run....? Comply, comply, comply...!

Sure. And cops should also be allowed to plant weapons to justify murder. And cops should also be allowed to plant drugs on a suspect who isn't their favorite color.
You only like criminals who wear a police uniform.

I never said a thing about allegedly planting anything ! Do not put words in my mouth !

Why must you turn this racial ? I am only talking police-v-criminals. I don't care who the criminal/thugs are, or their color.

Thanks for the answer, but I don't understand the relevance of "Also, when they ran the plates, they knew we were disabled elderly woman. We were in our sixties. We were still stopped. "

But never mind.

They would have known we were not a threat, IMO, to an officer with a gun or without a gun lol. Lots of police do not run plates before a traffic stop. Ours do, they also run plates when they are just driving around, and follow you etc. They can be annoying 😂. I think they get bored.

A Ford Pinto? I don't blame the police. Driving one is crime, all by itself. I hope his taste has improved since then! :ROFLMAO:

Aneeda, you are more "understanding" than I would have been. What on earth is wrong with driving after 8 PM in a residential neighborhood? You could be a resident, you could be visiting someone, or leaving their house, you could be working for them, you could be scouting out the neighborhood, thinking maybe you want to move there, you could be new in the area and be lost, or any one of a million different reasons. I think the police are WAY overstepping their authority, unless they have good reason to stop that particular car. If the car fits the description of a vehicle that was recently used in a crime in that area , that would be a legitimate reason. But just because it was there?

Well, I never said my opinion was the law. But it should be.

Just like when the FBI shot down Charles "Pretty-Boy" Floyd , & or when Frank Hammer pursued "Bonnie & Clyde" & ended their crime spree.

Why is it that today there are so many that want to romanticize these thugs ? Coddle them & treat them with kid gloves? Much of society worries more about the rights of the criminal(s) than they do the victims. And when they [the police] catch them in the act of committing a crime, dealing drugs, making drugs, running guns ....whatever, and a gun battle ensues .... society is more scrutinizing of the police, than what the criminals were up to. ........?

A 13 year old autistic child can hardly be characterized as a thug, by any stretch.

Yayyyy. I’m happy to learn I was wrong. That ‘one’ was a given. No surprise there. Now I need to learn to avoid this type of poison instead of trying to change it. I know better and need to act accordingly. There are FAR more good folks in the world than not.
Unfortunately sometimes I forget!
🙏 Thank you.

I have never mentioned that child that was shot. As such , your reply has no meaning/merit.

And, yet, this thread is about the DISABLED child that was shot. Plus how is it you are a judge of what has meaning or merit? 🤦🏻‍♀️ Maybe, you are confused and posting your comments in the wrong place which means your posts are meaningless and have no merit on this thread.

I am not saying you comments are meaningless or merit less; I am just saying you can not judge whether they are or not.

Your opinion is not the law. This cop was convicted of murder when he did that & sentenced to 20 years:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Walter_Scott

AND, after shooting the suspect, the cop & another cop planted their weapons next to the body to try to justify the shooting. AND, you can clearly hear the cop yelling "Put your hands behind your back" when he knew the suspect was DEAD.
Of course, these two "Heroes" didn't know someone was taping them.

Three cheers for the 20 year sentence!

Should have been 100.

Just to be clear...... your first reaction is to defend the police?

I know you are going to think I’m picking on you but you seem to completely lack empathy for the child here. Is this not horrible to you?

I didn't see 911's reply as defending police. I felt he was just trying to get clarity as well as to mention that where he's from this was unlikely to have gone down like that.
@911 "
You have to teach them, but If they were born with “Down Syndrome” they are not considered a risk." I don't know about that. Too many cops these days are not wired right...they react rather than think. Anyone may be at risk for being mishandled and assaulted these days. That's becoming more and more evident each day.

My original response / reply was to a comment made by another poster. As such, I did not take the thread off topic ... they did.

Then when you replied to my response "incorrectly" , noting something I never mentioned, your reply / response was indeed without merit & or point.

The child that was shot is the subject of this thread. Thus, your comments in this thread can be construed to pertain to said incident.

Wrong, my comment was to a particular sentence / comment made by another poster!

Read it how you choose, that's how it is/was.

I never & still not have commented on the shooting of the child.
