When are armed police officers not allowed to use deadly force when necessary?
It should be said that “news” sites like this are a common right-wing grift: sell a story in the headline that that angry reactionaries will click on to get that hit of indignant rage.
If you think about the stories for five seconds, they fall apart; but clickfarms like the one in the link know that conservatives will spread incendiary headlines like this without even a shred of skepticism.
Their business model depends on it, and they’re eating very well.

Pretty much all the time. It might be a slap on the wrist or something when they kill someone, but giving the ahead to kill people isnt common.
The key word is when necessary.
Police are always, always, just like any citizen, authorized to use deadly force… When necessary.
When it becomes necessary, it falls into the realm of self-defense.
“Please don’t be too nice,” he said to the audience in Long Island, New York.
“When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’” he said.
“When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head you know, the way you put their hand over [their head],” Trump continued, mimicking the motion. "Like, ‘Don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head.’ I said, ‘You can take the hand away, OK?’
“I have to tell you, you know, the laws are so horrendously stacked against us, because for years and years, they’ve been made to protect the criminal. Totally made to protect the criminal. Not the officers. You do something wrong, you’re in more jeopardy than they are,” he added.
But hey, those records Joe *never had the authority for× were sitting in his Vette, and that’s OK, nothing to see here folks.
Ffs the hypocrisy and lies.
Rules for thee, not for me.
So much effort to frame Trump, he scares the establishment so much. Pretty damn clear.
Steele Dossier fabricated by Hilary and friends, with clear evidence of such, since 2017. This nonsense over presidential records, which every president has done (and Joe did pre-emptively!).
The establishment (neo-cons, democrats, etc) have turned the US into a banana Republic… It’s just a matter of time now before French Revolution II occurs in the States.
“Frame Trunp” lol
It’s hard not to feel like most of his fanboys knew nothing about him before he ran for president. He’s a lifelong conman and proud of it. Did no one read his book? I did in the 90s and could tell this dude is the Steven Seagal of business.
Why defend this guy? There are plenty of conservative politicians who aren’t total pieces of shit with awful track records. It’s surreal that you elected a reality TV star to the highest office in the country and now you want to do it again.
Well except Seagal does know Aikido.
Trump technically knows how to “make” money
He turned a 1 million dollar loan into a 100 mllion. Thats making money.
Yep. In part by:
- Inheriting a corporation from daddy
- Lying to the IRS about owned property values to pay less taxes
- Lying about purchased property values to pay less taxes
- Lying to banks about repayment
- Selling secrets to foreign governments
- Exploitation of workers
Trump knows how to make money, nobody ever said the processes to do so should be acceptable or commendable.
Did he ever get convicted? He cheated and won doing it. Thats how its played. Hell, Biden cheated and won the election. Dont hate the player, hate the game.
Did he get convicted?
The case is ongoing. He didn’t “win”.
Biden cheated and won the election.
Well one has an ongoing court case, and the other doesn’t. The one that doesn’t has also had his “stolen” victory proven in multiple court cases for years now by everyone who has filed a suit about it.
Sounds like you just plain hate, or you’re a troll, or you are being lied to, or you just genuinely don’t know what’s been going on for the past few years.
Which one is it?
@glimse @BearOfaTime Let’s not pretend that the #MSM would villainize any conservative republican who won the #GOP nomination. If #MarcoRubio, #RandPaul, #BenCarson, heck anyone other than #JohnKasich or #JebBush would have won, you’d be saying the exact same thing today about that person.
Not to say that #Trump is 100% innocent BTW, if #JoeBiden should be prosecuted for illegally having classified documents, so should #Trump. It goes both ways.
First off, what’s up with all the hashtags? Your comment looks ridiculous and it’s harder to read with links every other word.
Second, MSM would not be villainizing other candidates to this degree because Trump IS a villain. He’s the poster child for scummy businessmen…a caricature, really. I would not be saying the same things because I’ve been well aware of what a selfish asshole Trump is for 20 years…and he’s only gotten worse. Did you even read Art of the Deal? He’s an embarrassment to the country beyond his status as a disgraced politician.
You’re also forgetting that Biden handed those documents over willingly and without delay whereas Trump claimed he didn’t have them and then, when pressured, admitted he did have them but claimed he was allowed to. This isn’t even getting into the likelyhood that he was selling said documents to foreign actors. Now there’s mounting evidence that he tried to cover it all up. That’s your man? That’s who you think should run the country?
Dude hashtags things because it gets copied to their mastodon and elevates their comments while failing to provide context for anyone following them on that platform.
Basically it’s an attempt to spread their mastodon posts, but only their side of the conversation so they look smart.
> MSM would not be villainizing other candidates to this degree because Trump IS a villain.
You’re just parroting #MSM talking points here, not proving that I’m wrong.
> He’s the poster child for scummy businessmen…a caricature, really. I would not be saying the same things because I’ve been well aware of what a selfish asshole Trump is for 20 years…and he’s only gotten worse.
Then why was he so well liked while he was a businessman? Nobody hated him until the #MSM criticized him.
I’m not parroting shit. Like I said, I’ve been following Trump’s shady dealings for 20 years. Clearly you haven’t.
He’s well-liked among two groups: the ultrarich because he makes them money with his schemes and the wannabe rich because they are willing to do anything to get ahead. He was never well-liked by other groups.

Do you have a source for this?
A source for what exactly? Public opinion?
You don’t have to @ me every time.
As far as I can tell, Trump is popular among a range of social classes but also captured the college-educated conservative vote.
My dad grew up in one of trumps dad’s buildings and both of them were scummy businessmen and terrible landlords, Trump sr was convicted of trying to keep black renters out of my dad’s building.
I know a lawyer and a metal fabricator who did work for him and he stiffed them both. The metal fabricator added what he called a “trump fee” for every job after that because trump would never pay the last bill, so he just increased the price of the previous ones.
The “mainstream media” may be bad at a lot of things, but they’re not pulling things out of the air here. Trump is a bad person, and there’s a mountain of evidence to support that if you want to look
> You’re also forgetting that Biden handed those documents over willingly and without delay whereas Trump claimed he didn’t have them and then, when pressured, admitted he did have them but claimed he was allowed to.
So? The law doesn’t care; the criminal activity is having the documents, not refusing to return them or lying about having them.
If you think that Trump is on trial just because he had the documents at all, you clearly are following the case about as much as Trump’s business history…as in… not paying attention at all.
> If you think that Trump is on trial just because he had the documents at all
…I don’t? He’s on trial for many things.
Im fine with letting them both burn. Maybe wed get a functional president next.
Joe never hid documents in his bedroom from feds lol
Yeah, just in his garage. Totally different!
Yeah if you want to get into the detail the circumstances were completely different, but I’m not interested in defending Joe’s actions. I’m simply stating they weren’t as shitty as Trump’s.
At the very least Biden owned up to what he had, complied with the investigations and didn’t whine about it publicly when they were discovered. Also in the case of most of them, they notified the government they were discovered. With Trump, the FBI had to raid his ass to get them back. That’s why Trump’s actions are being treated as a crime. 🤣
🎵One of these things is not like the other…🎵
This exonerates trump how?
Rules for thee, not for me.
It’s actually amazing how you people will hear something and immediately steal it so you play the victim card all while screeching about how unfairly you’re being treated while simultaneously being given extra special treatment as to avoid any drama coming from you neanderthals.
