An Idiot Speaks

Sorry, but we just have to have some fun with this one, and since it's our blog, we can! An asshat comments in the "Mope-rah Speaks" thread:

• Fear for your life?! I don't recall ever hearing someone getting beat to death with an iron. Not to say that it couldn't happen, but you'd really have to be a sissy. I don't think there is a jury in the world (even an ALL white jury) that's going to say that this shooting was justified.
  

Here's a quick homework assignment - google "beaten to death with an iron." You get over 1.6 million hits, many of them stories about people beaten to death with tire irons, iron skillets, iron bars, and yes, the every popular "smooth." So just because you've never heard of it, doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

• The woman called for help. Clearly the man was mentally ill if he was attacking his mother to begin with - it's common sense. I'm sure the guy deserved a beating or a nice tazing, but the officer didn't have to use deadly force! Really now, think about it. He had a night stick, big ass flash light, pepper spray, FISTS, maybe a tazer. Worst case scenario, the PO might have taken a bruise on the arm trying to block the attack. He should be fired if he was in fear of his life. You don't need bitches out on patrol.

She called, help arrived. We don't know what anyone may or may not have deserved, but we know that we aren't required to be punching bags or take the first hit. We defy you to find that rule or law. We also know that your "worst case scenario" is bullshit. Worst case is a dead cop and if you don't think a single blow to the head can kill you, you're a freaking moron. No bitches here except you and your Monday morning quarterbacking.

• "Police OFFICERS claim that the FIFTEEN-year old repeatedly charged at them with the iron before a police officer fatally shot him."
• That means that there was more than one cowardly cop. Someone tell me how two of Philly's so-called bravest couldn't restrain a fucking FIFTEEN YEAR OLD BOY with an IRON. That's bullshit, and anyone with half of a brain could see that. He was a child with an iron. What if he was 14,13,12,11, or maybe 10 years old? Is that when they would consider using less than deadly force? Would you shoot your 15 year old if the little asshole was coming at you with a fucking iron? Get real.

You seen some of the 15 year old boys out there lately? Damn right we'd shoot them if the situation called for it. The only thing that protects an officer in these situations is distance. And unfortunately, officers here aren't issued TASERs yet in effective numbers. What if your baton broke? Now you've only got a gun. And what if the not-so-little asshole (your word) gets close enough to wrestle over the gun. Think that hasn't happened?

• This sends out a clear messages to mothers across the nation. Don't call the police when your SICK CHILD is attacking you. Let the little retard beat you up with an iron because the cops will kill your son.

If you're that scared of your sick child, don't call. We are tasked by the Constitution and the laws of our city, county, state and nation to maintain order. Sometimes, to maintain that order and make sure we go home at night, we have to put hands on people, restrain people, sometimes even kill people. We aren't required to be victims.

• Some of you motherfuckers are just itching to get a kill in, huh? You're no better than the criminals that you arrest, but you've got a badge. Some of you assholes are really twisted. You actually celebrate when a cop kills someone?! Where are your morals? You're talking about human life here.

A human life that would have ended ours given half a chance. We celebrate that a copper went home in one piece. We also have a really dark and twisted sense of humor because we see things that you wouldn't even imagine in your darkest nightmares. You couldn't even comprehend what we see. Don't talk to us about morality. You have no fucking clue.

• SCC, you're a closet racist! How much different would this post be if you left out the fact that the CHILD was black? WTF does Bill Crosby, Dr. Martin Luther King or Jesse Jackson have to do with this? You're just a dick head. Your writing is NO better than the shit I read elsewhere. Get off your high horse, pal.

A closet racist? How so? Where have we used anything except what was published by Mope-rah (Mary Mitchell)? Oh, we get it. Since we take Mitchell to account for her inflammatory language and Mitchell only writes about the wrongs blacks suffer at the hands of white police officers, we must be racist white people for pointing that out. And the fact that we point out Cosby (not Crosby) and Dr. King preached self reliance as a way to equalize the races is ...wait for it... racist! And then you lump in the master race baiter himself Jesse? Have you ever written a cognizant argument in your life? And if our writing is so damn ordinary, why are you here? We don't own a high horse, just a small pony.

• Why don't you just stop writing M/1 and black guys and just call them what you really want to, you racist.

M/1 is Department report writing shorthand for male black. M/2 is male white. M/4 is hispanic. Black is the appropriate color word utilized worldwide. Just because we and others don't ascribe to the political "flavor of the day" term African American doesn't make us racists. Accusations of racism are petty, narrow minded, tiny-brain-symptomatic, and quite frankly, wrong. You're taking our readers comments and making them ours. Try to find real world examples instead of the tired old saw that you're playing.

• I bet you're smiling right now...

Grinning fit to beat the band

• BTW, I vote Republican (really, I do)

Now we're laughing. Why don't you stop by the farm and pick up a quart of bullshit for yourself, because you are running damn low.
