The police force is the perfect job for bully's, psychopaths and murderers these days. These ***** are ignorant to freedom and the law, and they are given weapons to use against us and with a "shoot first ask questions later" policy.
Any person that tasers, shoots, beats up, and trains a dog to take chunks of flesh out of some one, simply because "it's just a job", needs to be hung at birth.
They are not public protectors any more, they are a paramilitary for the political elite, used to keep people from rising up against totalitarianism.

Was this guy really posing a threat? was he even looking at them? was he acting in a threatening manor? probalby not, but they just go ahead and shoot him anyway.
20 years ago, they would have just asked the guy what he's holding and dealt with it accordingly.

Even though Tosno is brilliant in this thread he is correct that a walking stick and a cane are completely different.
A walking stick is what I use to keep me upright where if I used a cane I would fall over.
A white cane is used for tapping things in front of you, I know because my Grandad and Mother in Law were blind.

So where does a "walking cane" fit in? :p

Thought personal attacks weren't allowed on this forum?

You described quite a few forum members as bullies, psychopaths and murderers who should be hung at birth, blah blah blah...and you're complaining that it's a personal attack when someone dismissed your post.

Does that really seem like a reasonable position to you?

Incorrect.

Describing the police in general is not referring to forum members specifically.
I'd be surprised if any serving officer would take childish offence at such a statement.

Doesn't seem a reasonable extrapolation for you to make. Claiming to speak on behalf of others.

His view might be extreme, but some of you lot aren't fairing much better in your responses to stopper. Looks like outright denigration of him specifically from where I am sitting. Instead of refuting his view you prefer to make fun of him; which serves nothing as far as I can tell.

Where's the requests for people to be hung? Lol. Calling his point of view idiotic hardly compares to his utterly.preposterous and highly offensive assertions.
 
It's quite good that he was only tasered, he'll recover from that and get an apology. In America he'd most likely be dead. Police are only human and they make mistakes, they didn't do it to deliberately hurt a blind person, they did it because they thought lives were at risk.

If I'd called him a bullying, psychopathic murderer who should have been hanged at birth (i.e. used the same language as he did), you'd have a point.

But I didn't, so you don't.

If I had claimed to speak on behalf of others, you'd have a point.

But I didn't, so you don't.

I have a follow-up question:

If someone targetted a different group of people and "described a group of people in general" (as you put it) in such an extremely negative way, would you be "surprised" if anyone in that group took "childish offence" at such a statement? How about, for example, "OcUK posters are woman-hating rapists and murderers who should be killed"? Would you be OK with that? Would you go down the "present company excepted" route and be surprised that anyone might be offended? Would you describe them being offended as "childish" (i.e. denigrating and making fun of them) and also say that anyone who says the original statement is unreasonable is denigrating and making fun of the person who made it?
