DARKLORDKEINOR'S PROFILE

Does it even matter whether Zoe Quinn cheated on Eron Gjoni?

It matters as far as her behavior casts a negative light on her personal character.

Way too many people get harassed on the internet. Even if this network is not pro bono, it's still a step in the right direction.

I agree with you.

Sites that ask for donations are the devil's work

What does that mean for churches? :)

Before someone grills me, I know kentona is being factitious.

On the movie subject, Boonie and Clyde (1967) would be an example of a film that glorifies crime.

Anyway, the Justice Department is allegedly bringing an end to racial profiling. They've already posted the new guidelines.

Getting involved publicly in specific cases that the media has hyped up, for example - telling us that "Trayvon would look like his son" - ridiculously irresponsible and overstepping of his bounds in his current role. It just stirs people up unnecessarily.

You seem to be correct on that observation, harmonic. Provided his interjection on these matters are intentional, what is the president's motive?

I wonder why they're scrutinised in the public, though. Might be because they've been misusing their authority. Too bad. I've no sympathy for those who hurt others for no other reason than because they can.

I merely repeated Dyhalto's point. Personally, I think the police have earned their scrutiny.

I personally think he should have been *charged* with second degree homicide, reckless endangerment, excessive force, involuntary manslaughter, probably a host of other lesser infractions.

All I mean by charge is the infraction the court is claiming the accused committed. I know indicted means an actual sentencing. You charge someone first before an indictment or acquittal is considered. Having clarified my terminology, I will now say that I think he should be convicted, at least, with excessive force.

Now Mike Brown I think that a case could actually be made for self defense based on the bruises Darren Wilson had. But there should at least have been an indictment and a trial in an actual court with an actual judge. But I mean...I stand by that grabbing for a cop's gun is a really good way to get killed.

If you believe it was self-defense, what crime should he have been charged with exactly? Excessive force, perhaps? Anyway, I am with the consensus that the cop who choked Eric Garner should have been indicted as well. That is all I will say on that subject, due to the earlier thread being locked.

Your basically arguing human nature. News flash, people have been abusing power and murdering people for 1000's of years.

Not much to argue with on that point.

Things have yet to change. They are simply getting worse, now that money makes the world go round. Plus you aren't cops. So you don't know what it's like to be cops.

You don't have to be a member of a group to critique it. I have heard soldiers and war hawks espouse that line in regards to the military.

But you want a police force to uphold the law. They are human beings, not perfect machines that always get it right. There is no system in the world that is perfect; government, politics, charities, schools, churches. It's because they are run by human beings. Obviously cops shouldn't be killing innocent people but you can't say that you know what it's like to put yourself on the frontlines like that.

Humans are fallible, but there are measures we can take to mitigate some of these abuses. Obviously, we'll never remove all instances of corruption, but it is better to try than to do nothing. At least when people talk about these problems, I feel I'm not alone in watching this unfold.

You are correct: I do not know what it is like to be on the frontlines like some cops are, but I still have a moral compass. Max McGee linked a video of a homeless man being shot for camping. What experience would I need to decide that peppering the man with bullets is an appropriate response to the man's passive resistance? Maybe the phantom knife that never appeared on camera would justify such a thing? Personally, I don't buy it.

The rest of your points addressed Max McGee, so I'll cease remarking on your other comments from here. To the general audience, these things must be discussed. Obviously, we're not going to change the system, especially from a gaming website. Things are simply going to be as they are, but information can go a long way. People can start waking up to the fact that we, at least in the United States, are heading towards a police-state, and we should speak out against the blatant abuses of power.

Pantaleo was put on desk duty and stripped of his badge and gun (probably should be off the force entirely but idk) and the police commissioner ordered an extensive review of NYPD's training procedures (specifically, how much force is appropriate to detain a subject.) Not sure what else can be done.

Pantaleo can be removed from the police force like you said. The Justice Department is doing its own investigations, though I doubt anything will come out of it, but we'll see.

Liberty, please don't lock this topic.

I have to see how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Okay, how many radical feminists does it take to change a lightbulb?



Trolling aside, the t-shirt is in poor taste for a broadcast that the entire world is going to see. Regardless, I find it highly disturbing that he broke down and cried while apologizing over a shirt. From seeing the video of his apology, I don't believe it was an act.

Even worse, this issue has death threats involved. Well, not really, unless being told to kill yourself or jump off a cliff constitutes as a death threat. All we need is another #feelinthedamnblank-gate for people to bitch and dick about for the next several weeks. Fuck!
