Mass casualties in Waukesha

This.

 

Sorry, but this character is very one-dimensional. Needs workshopping.

 

It's always been difficult for me to figure out why the "other team" did not stand with the officer who shot Ashli Babbitt and instead made the criminal the hero. It seemed like the perfect chance for that "team" to show it can be consistent by backing the blue even when the blue is black.

As for this situation, I hope this guy rots in prison.

 

As far as the cop......he might have made the quick choice that he needed to use his training and his (hopeful) accuracy to shoot at the car because there was a better chance of the driver killing dozens more people. It's not going to be great if you end up shooting a bystander, but in that situation, you are probably trying to save as many as possible. It's not a great situation to be in to have to make that choice. There is not a good one. I might be wrong, though. Just my thoughts.

 

It was never about backing “the blue.”

And I concur, I hope this guy endures the worst possible death. Extended torture starting with having his nails yanked off, followed by piece-by-piece dismemberment.

 

This thread is why the 8th Amendment exists.

 

Will Darrell Brooks get offers to be a congressional intern? Will former presidents have him over for photo shoots?

 

Looking forward to the thread that justifies the third amendment.

 

If an officer makes a once-in-a-career snap decision wrong, it should not mean that this is a bad officer.

What is the root of all of our policing problems is people who won’t stop sucking off the cocks of cops to consider, even for a second, that an officer could fuck up even just once. They have carte blanche to do what ever they want, and some of them do.

 

Waukesha isn't a town where the SWAT team gets called out a lot. Life-and-death snap decisions rarely have to be made, by police or anybody else.

One other thing about the city -- the downtown is a maze of 5-point intersections and two-way streets turning into one-ways. It's easy to get twisted around, and Brooks may have been disoriented when he entered the parade. route. I've lived in or near the city for nearly all of my adult life and I still get pointed in the wrong direction.

Not that that excuses what he did -- he's used a car as a weapon before. But, watch a run-of-the-mill action movie, and this kind of shit happens all the time. Nobody in the films ever get into trouble over it.

 

It would be an entire other thread, but I think there are some modern applications of a seemingly archaic amendment.

 

It wasn’t until I looked it up as a possible lesson for a civics class but I thought we’d never use it. But sure enough, there is random case law. I think there’s a case dealing with police in Nevada. Nothing big enough to warrant incorporation, but there’s randomness.
