Thank you for absolutely proving my point. You link to an article by someone with a clear agenda, and quote the Commissioner who was trying to inform people as to how real gun fights go down and explain why there were so many misses, but you use it like the liberals who have no clue to twist his words to mean he was calling his cops "bikers" in a bad way. You are proving to be quite the anti-gun spinster.
This is EXACTLY why we as gun owners need to stop this crap you are pulling here. These cases get tried in the court of public opinion based on limited facts put out there by an anti-gun and anti-cop media. The result is people like you who rush to judgment and form strong opinions without any real knowledge of the situation or of true gun fight scenarios, and you dig in your heels on the issue. This public misconception of the situation then puts pressure on the agency, the prosecutors, and the investigators to try to satisfy the mob of idiots. This corrupts the system and ultimately we have good cops involved in good shootings villainized.
I love how you come here with an article on Zero Hedge. I checked them out and they are well known as conspiracy theorists with an "apocalyptic world view". They are a liberal activist website and you come here to a gun website and bash police using their article to try to make a misinformed point spinning the quote from the commissioner to suit your needs. LOL. What a joke.
How about some facts instead of all your bombastic bull$h!t for once? I'm not "pulling" anything. You don't like the message, so you attack the messenger.
The Deputy Police Commissioner MADE THE STATEMENT. The article simply quoted him. You've managed to go through this entire thread crying stupid all the way. All of your, "we and you don't know enough" silly nonsense. You accuse me of making statements based
on the FACT this was a running gun battle, telling me I don't have that knowledge.
You have no idea if they shot while running from location to location or not.
The fact is
YOU didn't have that knowledge. The information is out there. You're either too lazy, or else too ignorant to look it up. A quote is a quote. Here it is again, just for YOU:
"Asked to explain how it's possible that after turning Bushwick into the Wild West, several trained officers managed to miss the mark a staggering 83 out of 84 times they pulled the trigger, NYPD Deputy Commissioner Stephen Davis explained that, much like true biker shootouts, real "running gun battles" are wildly unpredictable affairs".
Nowhere has he denied saying it, and he's been quoted in other articles saying the same exact thing. Stop trying to run interference, in order to cover up your mass ignorance on this entire matter. Are you really foolish enough to think ANYONE is going to give these idiots positive feedback after pulling a stupid, dangerous stunt like that? Stop being so dumb. These cops DESERVE all the bad press they get. The same as any citizen would if they did something that stupid. Do you really think if 3 or 4 CCW holders did this same exact thing they wouldn't be in a jail cell, facing reckless endangerment charges, and illegal use of a weapon? Stop acting so ignorantly.
They did this, then their idiot boss compares what they did to outlaw bikers doing the exact same thing. Is he F'ing serious? And you sit there in total amazement wondering why the media is all over this with negative press like stink on dog crap. How about you showing me one single positive article about this mess? Stop playing stupid and do your own legwork. I'll even tell you how since you're so damn lazy. Google: "Cops Shoot 84 Times". Trust me, you'll get the phone book. Stop making accusations and playing dumb,
and do your homework for a change.
All you have done since you started posting in this thread 4 odd pages ago is sit on the curb and bitch. You refuse to accept what everyone else does.
What these guys did was STUPID, pure and simple. You need to stop embracing your badge fluffing for 5 minutes, and take in some serious reality. When cops screw up, and they're taken to task for it, it's not "BASHING". Regardless of how much you, or anyone else tries to make it that. And you really claim to be an attorney? Seriously. I'd hate like hell to be your client the way you research things.
I know from research, experience, and the fact that as a prosecuting attorney I investigate police shootings,............
You sure as hell could have fooled me. You can't manage to find information when it's sitting right under your nose. And why?
Because you don't like what it says.
