Is Charles Co. Racist?

[Pandora]

The police are suspose to shoot to wound, not shoot to kill.

That is not true.

 

[nomoney]

who brought up the klan?

ummm....you just did

 

[Midnightrider]

but since when does a police man not search a suspect upon exit of their vehicle, that should have been the first thing that was done (or was it done and no weapon was found on him)

The police are suspose to shoot to wound, not shoot to kill.

wrong on both counts....
the police will pull you out of the car to investigate a situation, but can not search you unless you agree to it, or they have cause to arrest you.

State police anyway are taught to only shoot to kill, never to wound. the theroy is they will have a lot less shootings if that is the standard.

Obvious the people given their opinion have never lived in charles county and do not know all of the details.

Of course - this is the SOMD forums, after all. Nobody would know a thing about Charles County.

You have plenty of black people who come up in society and look down on others. It is a sad fact to admit, but racism is still very well alive in charles county today, and it does not just consist of your color, but your family history, and what area you grew up in.

Sounds more like "class warfare" than racism.

Every body trying to make these police out to be heroes like they were doing their job, but since when does a police man not search a suspect upon exit of their vehicle, that should have been the first thing that was done

Through the mists of time...

Here we are Winter 1987. I've had my driver's license for a little more than a year. I'm driving home from BFE in St. Mary's County to my home in BFE Calvert. It's windy - the bridge wobbles - me, inexperienced driver tight-knuckled on the steering wheel, veers over the lines occasionally.

Just north of Tookie-Shays Liquor 'n' Smokes Happyfun-Shop, I get pulled over (I seem to remember that it was a black cop - but who really cares?) and the officer asks me to exit the vehicle.

No search.

So to answer your question:
since when does a police man not search a suspect upon exit of their vehicle

I am forced to answer: 1987.


Yer Welcome.

Johny was a very well loved and respected man and it is a great loss to many now that he is gone. I personally will always have a void in my heart, because well never see him alive again, and never hear his laugh. The police are suspose to shoot to wound, not shoot to kill.

Sorry for your loss.


I need to ask you though: if you and I have a gun pointed at each other, are you going to try and "wound" me, or kill me?


Nothing personal - but I'm going for the head-shot.

And?? If you're in a situation where you have the po-po on your back, obviously you're not a model citizen. But hey, if you don't like that thought, just think of it as population control.

Obvious the people given their opinion have never lived in charles county and do not know all of the details. I've lived here all my life and I've experience so much racism since elementary school, it's all around us and it is not only white people who are racist. You have plenty of black people who come up in society and look down on others. It is a sad fact to admit, but racism is still very well alive in charles county today, and it does not just consist of your color, but your family history, and what area you grew up in. Every body trying to make these police out to be heroes like they were doing their job, but since when does a police man not search a suspect upon exit of their vehicle, that should have been the first thing that was done (or was it done and no weapon was found on him), and when is a mother not allowed to identify her son's actual body, she was shown a picture of his face. After all a police man is still a human being when they take their oath to serve and protect it does not turn off their human emotions and opinions. Johny was a very well loved and respected man and it is a great loss to many now that he is gone. I personally will always have a void in my heart, because well never see him alive again, and never hear his laugh. The police are suspose to shoot to wound, not shoot to kill.

You dear person are a racist. I suggest before you post you get your facts in order. He had a gun, he fired at the police, he deserved to die, the chief of police says he was not unknown to the force. Yea, supposed to shoot to wound, pull a gun on me and see if I care where my bullet hits you. I will miss his laugh also, but I'll also feel a lot safer knowing a piece of sh!t is no longer around to cause anyone else harm.

...and when is a mother not allowed to identify her son's actual body, she was shown a picture of his face.

That is done in many jurisdictions.

... The police are suspose to shoot to wound, not shoot to kill.

No they are not. When they have to shoot, they shoot for center mass, the middle of the chest, heart. Bang - dead.

not surprised you are confused, over taxing your last brain cell and all...

I think the family should announce the results of the blood test not only for the level of intoxication but to let the public know what drugs were or were not in his system at the time of death. :shrug:

you my friend, need to learn how to debate a little better. I have never called someone a moron or a dumbass within a debate. Only ignorant people resort to that crap.

 

[morganj614]

A wounded suspect with a loaded gun can still shoot and kill. I would shoot to kill.

 

[Tonio]

that is not racism, that is what you call prejudice.

Stupid question--what is the difference between racism and race-based prejudice? I often hear the two terms thrown around like they're the same thing.

Ask for it by name.

you choose not to comprehend what you are reading and make false accusations

Why would you think that poor guy was on drugs? He was rational in his thinking and doing. Geesh!

 

[eclark]

Yeah, let's just throw out the constitution and search people without probable cause.

The police are not "supposed to shoot to wound." Shooting someone is use of deadly force.

Go ahead and respect someone who drove drunk, crashed, passed out, carries a semi-automatic weapon, tried to shoot a cop (good thing he was too drunk to shoot straight.)

I will always respect him, he was not the monster that they are making him out to be. I know plenty of people that go out and Party (get drunk) on a friday night, he lived in oxon hill and did not try to drive drunk home, instead he parked out front us his aunts house and the weapon was never found on him and the police let him sit for 2hrs before calling an abulance they didn't care about his life. The media will only show so much but what about the eye witness that were there and told them he didn't have a gun.

I think they're getting read to start a penis enlargement forum, you should look into that.

Not totally sure - but race-based prejudice is not always negative, whereas racism is always negative.


viz:

RB-Prejudice: All white people are honest upstanding people. All asian people are good at math. All black men have humongous s

Racism: All asian men have tiny s. All white people are cocaine-snorting degenerates. All black people steal.



Racism is a mere subset of race based prejudice.

The reports say an ambulance was on the scene withint 4 min? Besides he was dead, why did he need one anyways? :shrug:

Yeah, but this person's friend's uncle's mom was there, and she said....
