The Glade 4.0

Sure lets also blame anyone who puts a cup on a shelf.

All anyone here has is the facts reported in the news.

You're editing out certain statements that you deem untrustworthy and then saying "OMG THOSE FASCIST THUGS"

I'm drawing bad conclusions based on the stated conditions. If the stated conditions are untrue then obviously my conclusions would be re-evaluated. Then again, if the facts are in question, the debate is pointless since we have no common frame of reference.

You're inventing facts to fit a scenario that demonizes the police without based on your distrust of the established report. If you want to have a debate about just how factual local news reporting is, that's another discussion.

I'm taking the facts/statement's we're given, and using that as an established set of facts (maybe we'll get dash-cam) and making an assessment of the situation of that, without cherry picking my data.

incorrect or unprovable conclusions based on data at hand (and for the record I didn't draw a conclusion, I posited a motive (note the use of the word "MAY") is still better than editing the root data to achieve the result you want.

I am not assuming anything. I am going on the information presented in the story.

I even said that if the victim didn't point his weapon and the police shot him anyway, my point doesn't stand so much.

Your bias has blinded you to all else, even what was said in this thread.

So let me say it again...Based in the information presented in the story which I don't immediately disbelieve because of the fact that said information came from a cop, I think the victim's action made the situation worse than it already was. The cops were at the wrong house, and they didn't announce themselves so as to gain a tactical advantage thus triggering the victim to act as he did. (paranoid, stupid, unsafe use of a weapon). Had he acted a little more carefully, he wouldn't have ended up shot.

Or, maybe I shouldn't believe my last second to last statement. After all, the cops made it and there is no one to contradict it. Maybe they WERE at the right house, and they really did announce themselves...

You hear the word cop or police, and immediately you distrust every word said. Try being a little more fair minded and not having your judgement so clouded by your bias.
