Of course it was. The claim made by the headline is that the sheriff threatened protesters by saying "we will kill you graveyard dead."
If you become so violent that you are a threat of death or serious bodily injury, you are not a protester.
I don't know how else to characterize your statement. You have no problem with reasonable uses of force, up to and including deadly force, but you have a problem with the sheriff detailing actions that wil lead to deadly force responses.
There was nothing to de-escalate. And his language did nothing but reaffirm his commitment to the use of force continuum.
I'm sure you assume they don't.
Despite CNN's pathetic attempt good. If you're in the protest and you become violent too bad.
If threatening people's lives yeah that's their duty.
No it's their job.
If you're just protesting you're not causing any problems and somewhere around you starts causing problems and get the hell away from them cuz they might get shot not even by the police either.
Good. Maybe they'll behave themselves.
I think it's understood.
That's implied.
Doesn't quite hit his hard. I would have prefer to You better think twice if it ain't worth your life.
I didn't hear anybody you say that.
Absolutely disagree. Keeping the pieces their job even if they have to resort to Stark language to do it.
Language no when the guns are pointed at them yes. People tend to behave when their life is in danger.
The idea is to blur the lines between insurrectionists and protesters.
It's a common theme, blurring the line between legal and illegal.
I didn't know you blueanon types did. January 6th was a mostly peaceful protest. There's 120,000 people there. But all you people ever want to focus on is the breaking into the capital and the violence or what about the people holding signs that didn't do anything that's like 98% of the protest
Well yeah the point I think was made the story was the idiots charging into the capital and acting like morons. It kind of overshadows the people out in the streets peacefully protesting.
I remember seeing a video of this one fella kind of a ringleader talking about how people need to go into the capital and I charge in there and I guess do stuff. And the crowd that was around him wasn't buying it and actually started calling him a Fed.
Throwing objects at people that are large enough to cause death or serious bodily injury is makes deadly force a reasonable response. This is not new.
He didn’t b intimate large anything. He gave a range to suggest regardless of your actions, you get shot. He’s not a servant of his community, he’s an enemy and should be treated as such.
That really, really doesn't matter.
You're seriously contending that noting he isn't threatening to shoot protesters but instead persons engaged in deadly violence is an irrelevant difference?
Police aren't supposed to be salivating over the idea of shooting people, even when they're criminals.
I don't see "salivating." I see "warning."
If it was a warning he would have talked like a normal person instead of a psychopath
What is "psychopathic" about warning that deadly threats will be met with deadly force?
Correct, because the guy was being a shitty cop either way.
Police should not be threatening anyone with murder.
Noting that deadly threats will be met with deadly force does not make one a "shitty cop."
