But did they "reach theirs" organically? Or were they pushed into it to advance a political agenda? It really stinks of outside manipulation that takes advantage of and escalates smoldering resentments into full fledged riots. The problem with the mobs this time around is that they have been given tacit approval by people who decided not to deal with the problem. Look at the university resignations that students are cheering. They actually think they gained something by running someone off. And this "safe spaces" nonsense is amazing, I'm in awe that people have been able to actually whine and bitch to get their way, and it actually works. That alone should be a huge red flag for everybody. I mean really, at some point don't some of them say "hey, this is happening way too easy"? It should. That's exactly what a trap feels like. I have the same opinion of "legalizing" gay marriage. It may "feel" like a win, but all it has done is expose more marriages to the government, who shouldn't be in the marriage regulation business at all. The entire basis for governmental regulation of marriage was to prevent interracial relationships. Then the IRS saw it as a cash cow and we have the fooked up situations we have now. /tangent
This reminded me of something P.J. O'Rourke said. He's my favorite political satirist. http://www.buffalo.edu/ubreporter/archive/vol28/vol28n25/n2.html
Yes it is and its a good thing too. That person is still a danger to people around him especially if he's armed. You don't know who is his next target.
It would depend on the details as always. Just because he has a gun doesn't even mean he has a first target. It is when it looks like he's reaching for that gun, in this case when he was on the run, that the officer should start shooting (and ideally of course not even to kill, but ok, shit happens when people pull out guns at cops when trying to escape them).
Well at least the Minnesota Police Officer was Charged in the Shooting Death of Philando Castile Hotwater
