Don't be so quick to judge Trish... Being ignorant of any evidence, does not substantiate a claim that there is none. I just gave u 220,000 of them

Google_what a wonderful way to waste your whole day. You do realize that none of what you posted (reliable or not) establishes that police usually kill the innocent, nor does it establish we live under a growing despotism.

Well I looked at the Google stuff & it does establish a couple of things:

The John Birch society hasn't totally crumbled out of existence yet. But then again, the flat earth society is still around too.

This whine is google documented back to the 1920s & '30s. It actually goes back to the policies of the federalists under the administrations of George Washington & John Adams, & our original neocon Alexander Hamilton, who "virtually" controlled the government through control of the purse strings.

Ah yes, those fabulous founders. Maybe we should return to the good old days & have Biden Shoot Paulson.

You claimed, thx, that the police usually kill innocent people:

Police continue to kill people (usually innocent).

In contexts where two types of outcomes are possible (e.g. the victim was innocent or the victim was guilty) most people would interpret the word “usually” to mean more than 50% of the time.

But now you’re backing down. Now you claim the police kill many innocent people.

Police kill many innocent:

The word “many” usually refers to absolute numbers rather than a percentage. Even 2% could be “many”. Of course when it comes to innocent people being killed, even one is too many.
And then you back down further in the same sentence and “many” turns into “quite a few,”

…check out the wrongful death awards - quite a few.

No assessment is attempted on your part to ascertain whether these few are accidental, deliberate or intentional. Nevertheless, you take the non-statistic to be evidence of

…an ever increasing despotism.

Yeah…right. You’re not paranoid…you’re just a fear monger and an intellectual sloth.

You have NO right to call me paranoid - you have no state issued license that certifies you are qualified and competent to diagnose abnormal mental conditions from chatboard postings.

You have NO right to tell me I have no right to call you paranoid – you have no state issued license that certifies you are qualified and competent to offer legal advice and practice law, nor do have the legal authority to practice jurisprudence and rule on an individual’s civil rights in chatroom postings.

Looks like thxforthetinfoil has been hoist by his own paranoid petard once again.

Same as it ever was....
