No, "I will submit an acknowledgement that cases do occur wherein an officer exceeds his authority, abuses his power, and/or commits some other travesty"
so you think that cop should kill their victim quickly if they resist the travesty
correct?
or did I misinterpret what you said?
No, looks about right to me. Keep in mind this is the guy who also says:
Speaking to my own opinion on the matter, I do not have a problem with law enforcement agents stomping people's guts out if they resist arrest or using deadly force if they assault an officer. Disorder should not be tolerated.
All of which is in stark contrast to this post from the last time JohnRM was active. Unsurprisingly much of this activity was in Trayvon Martin threads. And now hes come back and posting mostly in a particular two threads.
Of course, in so many ways. Regardless if the facts of the case, I am a Christian man who is forgiving. No matter who is at fault, this is not the kind of life and circumstances that anyone would want for themselves or their loved ones.1: Do you think what happened between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin was a tragedy?
The evidence provided does not contradict Zimmerman's story, or stories, as the case may be. If I were Zimmerman, I would have identified myself in a friendly way as soon as possible to discourage the individual from believing that I were a threat.2: Do you think GZ did anything wrong?
We have no idea how or why the confrontation began. Zimmerman lost sight of Martin at one point. He didn't track the kid down. Martin was perfectly capable of outrunning him. Somehow, at some point, Martin found himself confronting Zimmerman and I don't know why that is. I think that it is more likely that Martin stuck around and initiated the confrontation. I have no idea who actually provoked the struggle. If I were Martin, I would have run and not stopped running until I got home.3: Do you think Trayvon did anything wrong?
It cannot be proven that either of these individuals committed a crime. It may be that neither of them did. Our laws are not perfect. Bad things can happen where no one is at fault.
I am not sure I understand. I do not believe that the defense had any racist motivations whatsoever.4: Do you think there has been a lot (not minor outliers) of racially tinged language used in defense of GZ?
Because they don't understand the details and the particulars of the case. They don't identify with what George Zimmerman was doing. They don't see a need for a person to defend his own neighborhood from crime. They are under the delusion that the police can do the job adequately. The reality is that they cannot and citizens have accordingly been given the right in many states to defend themselves, and others, from crime, if necessary. George Zimmerman claims it was necessary to defend himself. There is no evidence to prove otherwise. But, again, people don't believe that he ought to have that right and instead of trying to change the law, they erroneously believe that Zimmerman should have been thrown in jail, regardless. They see the court system as a justice system based on morality and not laws.5: Why do you think people are disappointed by the verdict?
Are you feeling alright JohnRM? Are these really the posts of a Christian who has further than the old testament?
Bonus racism:
It would just be nice if certain blacks would show the same outrage over the murder of a black by another black as they do when a white is the killer. If a white guy kills a black, they blame it on racism. If a black guy kills a black, they blame it on guns, which of course is the white's fault as well, cause we put guns in the black community so they can kill each other...cause we're racist. I'm sick of it. Sometimes people just kill each other because they're stupid.
Thats right, its the "stupid" blacks to blame.
