US police kill 107-year-old suspect in home shootout

[laklak]

If I make it to 107 I'm going to be so fucking pissed off with the entire moronic planet that going out in a blaze of gunfire would be appealing. I intend on taking a few muthafuckas with me, though. That supercilious bank manager? Bang bang, dickwad. The punk kid blasting 20,000 watts of bass at the stoplight? Eat fucking lead, asslips. So many morons, so little time. I better start stockpiling ammo, I've only got 48 years to go.

More scumbag, soldier cops who should have never been allowed to be cops in the first place.

I hope everyone is happy. This is what you have to look forward to regularly in your wonderful, authoritarian, "civilized" society.

Yep. Radley Balko has been all over this issue for a long time. I thank George H.W. Bush for starting it.

In this case, the cops reflect the society, as is usually the case.

In a land overflowing with guns, the cops are naturally going to have a high proportion of gun-wankers in their numbers.
So what if he was 107? He still counts as a kill. Hardly worth mounting though.

You have the Military-Industrial Complex to thank for it.

Way before Bush.

It's best to not misattribute things.

Another misattribution.

It's not a completely unique American issue.

Anyone who is not worried about the increasing militarization of the police forces, the erosion of Constitutional rights, NSA spying, the TSA, and a host of other intrusive, authoritarian, totalitarian actions of the U.S., state and local governments is living under a rock. Anyone who thinks this is strictly the fault of GWB or BHO or Republicans or Democrats is living under a rock. Anyone who believes the "war on terror" or the "war on drugs" or the coming "war on obesity" or "war on intolerance" is anything other than an excuse to further solidity their absolute control over every thing you do, think or say is living under a rock. Anyone who thinks there isn't a little dossier somewhere in Langley for everyone who has ever posted here is living under a rock. Anyone who thinks gun control is about "saving the children" is living under a rock. There are one FUCK of a lot of people in this country and around the world who are quite comfortable under their rocks, evidently.

Are they all living under the same rock?

That doesn't follow mistermack.

It doesn't necessarily follow, but it could easily be the case...

Mind you, there have been a certain number of unnecessary police shootings in Oz over the years, no country is immune...

Back in they day, it happened a fair bit in Northern Ireland.


Doesn't happen really, in the South.

Well if you take a couple of hostages then start shooting at the police they will generally shoot back at you.



Now if the hostages had guns all this could have been avoided
