55. ...and will get nothing

I did not post it in the other thread, but in this one it applies.	graham4anything	Sep 2012	#40
I tend to agree with Graham4anything on one point: There are no good cops	Th1onein	Sep 2012	#46
The dishonest part -the remake of Reality in your own image- is that there are no good cops.	randome	Sep 2012	#50

I thank you sir	glacierbay	Sep 2012	#61
This broad brush "Fire bad, Cops bad" crap	COLGATE4	Sep 2012	#92
BS	glacierbay	Sep 2012	#62
I think that your characterization of his posts HERE, in this thread, are not true to fact.	Th1onein	Sep 2012	#82

I didn't know that! Thank you!	Th1onein	Sep 2012	#91
no good cops? what idiocy.	grantcart	Sep 2012	#69
Odd that line of reasoning	LanternWaste	Oct 2012	#102
Thanks for your service and I would simply advise to ignore anyone who paints LEOs as racist.	grantcart	Sep 2012	#68
I plan to just ignore him from now on	glacierbay	Sep 2012	#73
Whoa...what....?	ProudToBeBlueInRhody	Sep 2012	#94
Here's one.	glacierbay	Sep 2012	#95
Did the cop wait for facts?	sabrina 1	Oct 2012	#125
Um, waiting for facts is always preferable.	randome	Oct 2012	#126
And according to eye witnesses she was not to blame. Nor was the agent ever on the	sabrina 1	Oct 2012	#130
You might want to revise your statement	glacierbay	Oct 2012	#136
See my reply below. It turns out that the woman was on probation and was fleeing the scene	grantcart	Oct 2012	#113
I saw that	glacierbay	Oct 2012	#115

If she had chosen to stop the car she would be alive.	pennylane100	Sep 2012	#70

What does "Alvarado" tell you?	SecularMotion	Sep 2012	#23
Really?	Shitty Mitty	Oct 2012	#97
No, you should explain yourself. Your comment is racist and bigoted on it's own	SecularMotion	Oct 2012	#98
I see.	Beacool	Oct 2012	#109
FYI, more than half of the BP agents in the San Diego area have Hispanic surnames	slackmaster	Oct 2012	#110
That's a vile racist comment	glacierbay	Oct 2012	#116
I mean seriously, some people can't fucking read	Shitty Mitty	Oct 2012	#118

How very bizarre!	Sekhmets Daughter	Sep 2012	#8
Maybe he was afraid he was about to die.	randome	Sep 2012	#11
Seems to me	Sekhmets Daughter	Sep 2012	#59
My previous post was not meant to disparage you.	randome	Sep 2012	#63
And I shall apologize for pouncing...;-)	Sekhmets Daughter	Sep 2012	#65

Is that what happened?	Sekhmets Daughter	Sep 2012	#60
More about this from the local newspaper	4lbs	Sep 2012	#14
Wow, I think the the BP has some real explaining to do.	Live and Learn	Sep 2012	#58
5 - 7 shots according to the article	lunasun	Sep 2012	#74
The BP agent used deadly force against a violent attack with a deadly weapon	slackmaster	Sep 2012	#22
Really?	kirby	Sep 2012	#26
"...rode on the hood of her car after she ran into him, authorities and family members said."	slackmaster	Sep 2012	#27
Eyewitnesses say the BP agent wasn't on the car.	Comrade Grumpy	Sep 2012	#31
And other eyewitness' say he was on the hood of the car	glacierbay	Sep 2012	#32
Schrödinger's BP Agent?	slackmaster	Sep 2012	#33
Not enough information yet.	Comrade Grumpy	Sep 2012	#34
I agree	glacierbay	Sep 2012	#36
you and me both	TorchTheWitch	Sep 2012	#47
You ought to try working at a 7-11.	Comrade Grumpy	Sep 2012	#53
Have you ever worn a gun?	JoeyT	Sep 2012	#44
"There doesn't seem to be any dispute about how he ended up on the hood of the car. "	kirby	Sep 2012	#52
How did he get onto the hood of the car?	jberryhill	Sep 2012	#81
Either she drove the car into him, or perhaps there is another explanation...	slackmaster	Sep 2012	#90
I'm thinking if he was trying to stop her...	jberryhill	Sep 2012	#93
Hmmm	deathrind	Sep 2012	#28
If he had the gun drawn, I can understand the woman trying to mow him down	slackmaster	Sep 2012	#30
This story smells funny.	Comrade Grumpy	Sep 2012	#35
I've got a better idea.	glacierbay	Sep 2012	#37
Of course. But that doesn't mean we shut up in the mean time.	Comrade Grumpy	Sep 2012	#42
yup. but the cop spokesmen above needs to spin all cops as being perfect	graham4anything	Sep 2012	#48
You need to stop.	glacierbay	Sep 2012	#64
"the cop spokesmen above needs to spin all cops as being perfect"	PavePusher	Sep 2012	#71
The latter does make more sense.	valerief	Sep 2012	#43
Further, factor in the similarity to cartel roadblocks in this case	Strelnikov_	Sep 2012	#67
Someone got paid to write that headline?	Matariki	Sep 2012	#41
Bwahahaha! So right.	valerief	Sep 2012	#45
Been that way ever since the anti-gay uber-right-winger Tea-partier Doug Manchester bought it.	MindPilot	Sep 2012	#57
I have to agree. It was already pretty bad under the previous owner.	slackmaster	Oct 2012	#101

I'm sure her family will sue for millions	Gman	Sep 2012	#51
...and will get nothing	regnaD kciN	Sep 2012	#55
Well, the article was about the Border Patrol and not the police	Gman	Sep 2012	#84
Which makes about 3/4 of the posts in this thread irrelevant.	randome	Sep 2012	#85
They're all cops.	Comrade Grumpy	Oct 2012	#96
He committed murder.	warrior1	Sep 2012	#54
And you know this how?	glacierbay	Sep 2012	#66
What is so hard about holding back the opinions	pennylane100	Sep 2012	#72
False premise.	Occulus	Sep 2012	#75

The way the AP reported this story (or how the Wash. Post edited the AP copy) leaves a lot of holes.	alp227	Sep 2012	#86
UPDATE Wednesday, 10/3 - Chula Vista Police say woman tried to flee	slackmaster	Oct 2012	#100
That puts a whole new twist on the story,	glacierbay	Oct 2012	#104
yup, she was clearly defending herself from a gang of crazed drug warriors.	uncle ray	Oct 2012	#108
Interesting. I wonder if those undercovers identified themselves as cops.	Comrade Grumpy	Oct 2012	#105
CVPD Chief David Bejarano just spoke. He said badges were displayed. DETAILS ADDED.	slackmaster	Oct 2012	#106
And the article goes on to say that she was in the apartment and was fleeing.	grantcart	Oct 2012	#112
there's a whole lot i'm not getting.	Sivafae	Oct 2012	#119
I also did not know that BP agents serve warrants.	grantcart	Oct 2012	#127
Sounds reasonable.	JVS	Oct 2012	#103
Sad story, but there are so many unanswered questions.	Beacool	Oct 2012	#111
We're all sorry for that.	randome	Oct 2012	#114
A lot of questions are unanswered and some of the answered ones are suspect.	Gormy Cuss	Oct 2012	#128
The biggest question in my mind is this - What was a mother of five who was on probation...	slackmaster	Oct 2012	#129
Reasonable explanation: gave a ride to a friend or relative (one of the others in the apartment)	Gormy Cuss	Oct 2012	#132
That's possible, but if her reasons for being there were innocent then why did she panic?	slackmaster	Oct 2012	#133
Even if she hit him intentionally (and some witness accounts suggest otherwise)	Gormy Cuss	Oct 2012	#134
It could even have been some combination of what you've suggested.	randome	Oct 2012	#135
Perhaps it was as simple as	Sivafae	Oct 2012	#137

Did you read post #106?	PavePusher	Oct 2012	#131
I'm not disagreeing with you.	crim son	Oct 2012	#138
