ORIGINAL: jlf1961 Got to love how the liberal anti cop fanatics are insisting on this being the officer's fault. "liberal" = "anti-cop." Is this your notion of 'astute observation'? As for myself, I've managed to piss off a lot of 'standard liberals,' here, and I doubt they want me involved, from what I can tell. Just can't avoid tripping over your own feet, can you? He could be making a distinction between liberal anticop fanatics, and non-liberal anticop fanatics, and/or liberals who are not anticop fanatics. I won't speak for him and specify exactly what he was saying, but there are other interpretations available. quote:

Does not matter that despite repeated warnings not to lower his hands, he kept doing so. Yes, this, exactly this. You've got that bass-ackwards, bro. The trained-to-be-frightened cops with bad eyesight bearing assault rifles noticed whatever the guy was doing already, (which wasn't a threat to anybody to that point) and used that as PC/pretense for street (hotel lobby, etc.) execution. That bitch in Oklahoma literally got away with murder, setting precedent for this asshole, for "not obeying a police order." Somebody can be waving to a friend or to the air, but if a half-blind SWAT team shows up and says "Stop waving!" it's now a mortal threat to the militarily armed SWAT, because they fucking say so. Okay, I see where this is going. I've looked it up, and I can't find where "not obeying a police order" is even a felony, much less a capital crime. No law in the land mandating or even suggesting execution. No jury (of 'peers' or otherwise) has ever voted for conviction on that charge, nor has any judge or jury voted for the death sentence for such transgression, correct me if I'm wrong. If you want skittish near sighted (not near enough, as it turns out) people armed with assault rifles administering justice on the spot rather than the legal system, that's your world. Don't expect anyone who respects the constitution or the law as laid out thereby to join you or anyone else in that venture. He comes to the door and raises his hands after being ordered to do so. Then, he repeatedly reaches towards his waistband, and is repeatedly warned to not lower his hands and get them back up. He complies by raising his hands, only to start lowering them again. If you're a cop going to potential murder/hostage/firearm situation, I bet you don't wait to see if he's just scratching an itch near his waist.
