Alevine's arguments so far

* of course they did
* you agree with me
* doing "nothing at all" to prevent the situation escalating counts as a "good effort"
* the streets were empty (except for all those people caught on film in the background)
* the people caught on film in the background couldn't possibly have noticed what was going on, but if they did, they would have known it was staged
* OK, the streets weren't empty, but they chose a time that was convenient for them. Does that count?
* criminals never wear disguises
* crimes are never caught on film
* if you were a gambling man, you'd bet on them surviving
* a cop faced with an automatic weapon will stop and have a look around and realise that crimes are never filmed and criminals never wear disguises
* a kidnapping, bombing or shooting is really no different to a picnic in the park or a game of cricket.
* cops never shoot people accidentally
* it is OK to get shot if it is the cop's fault and their gun gets taken away
* suicide by cop is a fundamental human right, so long as it results from stupidity and crazy ideas about freedom, rather than intent
* what are the Darwin awards?

I see you enjoy collecting things

It's cute.

I'm arguing the whole picture, unlike you who is misleading by looking at every element as a separate thing. It's quite a dreadfully boring tactic that doesn't get you anywhere

On another note, why do we even have 'public nuisance' laws. How medieval is that? Surely we can live amongst each other as responsible human beings without such a thing as 'public nuisance' being a CRIMINAL act. My bet would be this was introduced to stop protests, as another sign of government wanting to suppress human rights.

guess why we have LAWS.. sir??... any ideas???

wouldnt be because of the behavior of humans would it?....

just because you dont understand about certain laws...

doesnt make it against HUMAN RIGHTS.

if someone chose to practice their trombone outside your bedroom window everynight about 2am...I am almost sure you would like to be able to complain about them.... Roll Eyes

then again.. you wouldn t want to suppress someones artist streak would you?..

Yeah and that would be governed by criminal laws such as assault, so I'd still prefer 'citizens' govern as opposed to the government, in this particular case.

Not at all. I'm saying when you look at the big picture of how this was done, it's almost ridiculous to suggest police will storm in and just start shooting point blank, without first stopping to assess the situation.

But continue your misrepresentations. It's fun.

When you look at the big picture, are the streets empty?

When you look at the big picture, do cops ignore crimes in progress if the perps are wearing a disguise?

So people get charged with assault because they are provoked by twits, who get off scot-free? Nah.

When you combine all the factors, the cops don't go 'SHOOT NOW SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT ASK QUESTIONS LATER SHOOT NOW'. No, they get intel on the situation, assess what is happening.
