    The police in the UK aren't allowed to do anything that might hurt a criminal.

    The police officers were yesterday found guilty on 25 counts after being convicted of the deaths of two unarmed African American civilians in the days after Katrina devastated the southern town.
    The trial focused on events on the morning of September 4, 2005, on the city’s Danziger Bridge when officers, responding to a call of shooting in the area, let off what prosecutors have described as a “hail of gunfire.”
    Ronald Madison, a 40-year-old mentally disabled man, was shot several times in the back and died at the scene. One of the officers, Kenneth Bowen, also stamped on him while he lay wounded.
    James Brissette, 17, a high school student who friends said was nerdy and studious, also died on the bridge. Four others people from the same family were also wounded.
    Bowen, Robert Gisevius, Anthony Villavaso, and Robert Faulcon, the officers involved in the shooting, could receive now life sentences.

    Their supervisor Sergeant Arthur Kaufman, who was not on the bridge, but was convicted of leading the conspiracy, could receive a maximum of 120 years.
    Kaufman joined the other four defendants in trying to cover-up what had happened. He got a gun from his home and claimed to have found it on the bridge.
    He also made up false witnesses and coached the other officers on getting their stories straight before they made their formal statements.
    In her closing arguments, Bobbi Bernstein, deputy chief of the US Justice Department’s civil rights division, rejected the idea that the officers were heroes, as argued by the defence.
    She claimed an official cover-up had “perverted” the system, adding officers “delivered their own kind of post-apocalyptic justice.”
    “The law is what it is because this is not a police state,” she said

    I think it's SOP for Western Cops to withdraw from riots. American cops are just as guilty of this passive-anything-goes attitude towards riots. As far as the UK's nonviolent approach towards apprehension, i say bs. When Bobbies see a rapist assaulting a woman in an alley, do they stand around and emphatically urge him to stop? Or do they jump on his ass?

  7. If there's anybody on my property trying to destroy or take things from me he will be shot preferably in his head.

    I don't care if there are 100 people over there, I have plenty of bullets.

    If the goverment isn't defending me, I have the right in this situation to defend myself. Even if this means killing 400 people. (I think I don't have more than 400 bullets, that's why)
