Aaaaahahahaha!!!!!! A clip from the primaries!?! Bwaaaahahahaha!

She's still getting >9 black votes for every one Trump gets.

Seems they didn't forget how Trump says he sees them...as murderers, rapists, muggers, and terroristic thugs that all deserve the death penalty.

Don't you ever get tired of embarrassing yourself? Such a child.

That crime bill Trump said was too lenient? Didn't target blacks enough, and didn't put them in prison long enough?
You forget what Trump's position on race was/is....round up the blacks and imprison them all, they're all muggers and rapists. He put out ads saying so.

You can't bring up a thing about Biden where Trump wasn't exponentially worse. Biden isn't perfect, Trump is inhumanly and inhumanely horrible. That's why knowledge is important, it helps you not make ridiculous accusations against your opponent that only apply to your guy. Try it.

How many times has Biden pleaded guilty to defrauding the poor, or veterans, or business associates? Can Biden still be involved with a charity, or is he banned for outright stealing donations?

This insanity of trying to label Biden a racist (with 90% of African American support) and trump a friend of the African American community (with 8% of their vote) is just too funny. You don't even realize you're insulting them with that claim, clearly implying they're too dumb to know who supports them and who won't say the words "black lives matter" without following it with "are all terrorist thugs coming for you next".

🤦‍♂️

No...the gift of being violated is not precious. The gift of mistrust might have kept me out of trouble to some extent, but I could and would have learned that lesson without a gun to my head and knee in my neck, and without the threats to my freedom if I told on him.

I don't KNOW....I said I would bet. Please read more carefully before making assumptions and accusations. It's far more likely he's not remorseful, I said why I think that.

They wouldn't take a report or complaint, and I don't remember his name. That makes checking in on the thug a bit difficult. Your suggestion is like asking someone to look up their uncaught mugger to see if they feel bad decades later. I would love to face him as an adult, but he's not my white whale like you want him to be....he's just one more dangerous whale in a sea full of them, he just happens to be the one that bit me, they all bite. Nothing special about him.

I have zero need to give him forgiveness nor to take away the mistrust. I don't care a whit about him. Hate implies he's important to me, he's just not except as an example, an instance where I learned some harsh reality, that police are not there to serve and protect citizens as I had been taught.

Please don't presume to tell me what I need or how I feel. I find it insulting. You obviously don't know me a bit or you would never take that path. Assuming I'll react, think, or feel like an average, normal person is about as big an insult as I can think of.

I'm no cop. I'm not assaulting those I'm charged with protecting and serving. I'm not abusing anything by having an opinion.
Just stop, please, you're becoming dismissively insulting with your naive assumptions. Love isn't all you need...obviously....or you would be in line for your lobotomy right now and happily spend your life loving whatever you see without thinking. Remember, the group that told you that lie was broken up by love.

I know many Americans have a tendency to put cops on a pedestal, politicians and media outlets talk about how "dangerous" policing is and how they have to do a tough job under constant threat of violence while completely ignoring that part of the threat of violence comes because of police misbehaviour. It's also not a very dangerous job. Statistically, being a gardener is more dangerous than being a cop. You don't see gardeners stabbing random black shrubs with shovels and quoting the dangers of their profession to justify it do you?

Most of the problem of out-of-control policing is because they're held up as holy warriors, haloed in glittering samite, when they're just people, and many of them are BAD people.

The whole hero cop myth just needs to die, but it won't because Americans, by and large, are cowards. Afraid of the shadows, afraid of black men, afraid of foreigners, muslims, anything or anybody "different". You think you NEED cops to be tough, rugged heroes to save you from the things that go bump in the night. You NEED cops to be brutal and without remorse, killing at the slightest provocation because they're "just doing their jobs". Otherwise every street corner would have a mugger ready to rob you blind.

Truth is, the vast majority of Americans have been the victim of a crime. They probably didn't even know it, and you can be sure the cops never investigated. Wage theft in America amounts to far more than all other criminal activity combined. It's intentional and ongoing. Until the Walton family is in chains the cops will never truly be in your corner. They are a tool of people like the Waltons. Their job is not to protect you, it's to protect the status quo. If protecting you helps maintain that status quo, then that's what they'll do. If not.... well, ask Willie McCoy about that.

So, is he going to be a good guy? Maybe my Venom: Lethal Protector #1 comic book (which is the only comic book I own, don't know where I got it), will become worth something if they use that storyline. It's been 20 years since I read it, but I think the plot was pretty much "Hm, I think I'll try being a good guy for no obvious reason" and then he did Spider Man stuff like punching muggers and that was about it. I'm probably remembering it wrong.

Mugger: "Give me all your valuables."
Umbrella Man: "Hiiiya! Cha! Woohaa!"
Mugger: "Dude... there's a psych ward just up the road, here, let me take you."

Better question, how many cops would admit to being mugged?
It's funny how people treat guns almost as if they are some kind of talisman against evil. Simply having a gun does not guarantee that you are perfectly safe. If the hypothetical mugger also has a gun and gets the drop on you then most likely that mugger will soon have two guns.

Where the hell did this happen that the muggers don't understand television camera technology?

Your video, Mugger gains a handbag, loses a scooter, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

You're way off, and you clearly haven't read or understood any of the authors named in my comment. Had you developed an informed opinion before spouting off on the basis of the Kool-Aid you've drank, you'd understand that, without government, there'd be no "big guys" to exploit the subsidies and cronyism that are implicit in the original monopoly that is "government."
If you think that some how government (i.e., kleptocrats) are "overseeing things," then you've got some learning to do. The corruption and co-optation of the market is not a "problem" to be "fixed" by the government. It is a direct effect of government. To think otherwise is a fatal conceit, one whose costs get higher by the day.

But, you can believe whatever you want to believe.


"The politicians are real, the soldiers and police who enforce the politicians’ will are real, the buildings they inhabit are real, the weapons they wield are very real, but their supposed “authority” is not. And without that “authority,” without the right to do what they do, they are nothing but a gang of thugs. The term “government” implies legitimacy– it means the exercise of “authority” over a certain people or place. The way people speak of those in power, calling their commands “laws,” referring to disobedience to them as a “crime,” and so on, implies the right of” government” to rule, and a corresponding obligation on the part of its subjects to obey. Without the right to rule (”authority”), there is no reason to call the entity “government,” and all of the politicians and their mercenaries become utterly indistinguishable from a giant organized crime syndicate, their “laws” no more valid than the threats of muggers and carjackers. And that, in reality, is what every “government” is: an illegitimate gang of thugs, thieves and murderers, masquerading as a rightful ruling body." -Larken Rose

I'd like to see a video where the gun is filled with blanks, and safety is off. (both should have proper hearing protection too). Then they demonstrate the same disarm technique and see if "the perp" can pull the trigger, or even if he can't, the gun might go off anyway during the disarm procedure. Then the instructor repeats this with several different students.

Not directly related - I wonder why you don't see more stories of muggers using tasers?

Great point. So, they have your support to hose down the Police?
Who else? Politicians? Muggers? The military? Me, because I disagree?

If they disagree with the government, just hose down the police, eh?

The Police apprehend criminals, facing threats to their lives at any corner. Should they also be allowed to shoot politicians? Or just handcuff them? Hit them with batons?

As entertaining fodder it may be for VideoSift, I disagree.
Though I voiced my disgust with it, I still upvoted this video btw. Though it's entertaining, it doesn't support my political views.

Disgusting. You're not hired by the state to turn against it. You don't like the retirement plan? Learn another trade where you can sit on your ass all day waiting for an incident.

What!?
I have a job where I sit on my arse all day waiting for an incident, I monitor servers.
The only difference is that when I detect an incident I call somebody in one of the datacentres, these guys run into burning buildings full of smoke and save people's lives!
Let them retire earlier, they've earnt it.

Actually, it's "Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot. If I had a gun pointed at me, no, I probably wouldn't try and draw unless I had a shoulder harness under my coat and there was one already in the chamber, but all of this makes no difference to a situation where you could help someone else that's in trouble. >> ^ChaosEngine:

>> ^MarineGunrock:
LOL he's got a gun trained on you! Of course your life is in danger! And no, 10,000 hours is ludicrous to have mastery in firearms, certainly your own if not make makes and models. And yes, I'd shoot someone should they try to steal from me. I wouldn't necessarily attempt a kill shot, but I wouldn't be remorseful if they died from it. Unlike you, I don't want to be walked on and then reward despicable behavior. >> ^ChaosEngine:
>> ^MarineGunrock:
A lot of states require that you go through a short course to legally carry concealed. Not all, and yes, that's only to carry concealed. Still, this does mean you have at least SOME people who are trained.
What does a "short course" entail? An afternoon? A weekend? A week? In every domain I've been involved in, from software development to photography to martial arts, the rough consensus is that it takes 10000 hours to master a skill. I don't consider someone who has taken a "short course" trained, or even competent.
>> ^MarineGunrock:
As for the mugging scenario, if you had a concealed weapon and depending on where you holster it, you could say "okay, I'm reaching for my wallet and then just blast him.
Ok, let's assume I'm mugged by a guy with a gun. What makes you think you'll be able to draw your gun from it's concealed holster and "blast him" before he shoots you? Assuming he's already pointing a gun at you.
Besides, is human life really that cheap that you'd kill someone over your wallet? If I thought he was going to harm me in some way, that's a different story, but the death penalty for robbery seems kinda draconian to me. If someone is desperate enough to mug someone, they're probably in a pretty messed up way. I'd prefer to respond like this.


Ah, I made the mistake of assuming you had a) some knowledge of the subject and b) some humanity.
a) I don't know much about firearms but I know people who do, and every single one of them has said you don't point a gun at anything you don't intend to kill. I'm absolutely sure that some muppet with a weekend training course is going to be able to draw, aim and hit before being shot. yeah, right.
b) I'd rather be "walked on" and walk away than take a human life over whatever few dollars I happen to have in my wallet.
Clearly, you've seen one too many hollywood movies. Enjoy living in your fantasy land.
