Flash Fried: 21 April 2021 (Patrons)

How about someone offers be an alternative solution to this epidemic of police killings, whether ‘justified or not’ that is the highest per capita instead of just making excuses to accept the status quo of anyone with a knife or anything slightly resembling a weapon gets riddled with bullets when other countries police are trained to disarm people like this and bring them into custody.

Bro this ain't Rainbow Six, cops only have guns or a taster to work with. That cop had no choice but to put that girl down. Whether in the torso, head, or limbs....

Fucking hilarious, I am mowing my yard while I come in and rest and watch this.

Copblock and Police The Police are the biggest perpetrators of crying wolf when there are real wolves afoot.

Imagine being Paul and getting upset that somebody else was running wild with an irresponsible narrative. Tell me more about how Joe Biden and Donald Trump are one and the same Paul.

And about the LA thing lets put it this way. I am from detroit, I lived with andy dick for a few months while going out with his roommate. Even with a frame of reference being from Detroit and being acquainted with homelessness, living out there even in the richest area in west hollywood I have never in my life seen such a MAJOR fucking homelessness problem like I saw every day I walked outside. Between how bad it was before and Covid (they havent been allowed to tear down structures in the streets since.) It is like every block there was at least two encampments (not ever singular) of homeless people. Its ridiculous, if there was trash for take out it would get claimed by a homeless person who'd sleep on anything even mildly soft. I finally realized between all of this and a few other things that California is actually a state for the rich not the liberals. They only at times virtue signal but its all surface level. Also yes Andy is as much of a nightmare to live with as you think he would be lol.

If someones about to be stabbed, the cop isnt thinking about making themselves known, there thinking about stopping the stabbing

You did not play the full context of the clip. The cop who shot the person did not adequately announce their presence when they arrived at the scene and failed to identify himself as a police officer, and he gave no warning going into the situation. The person being shot didn't seem to even notice the arrival of the cops. Announcing their presence with a couple flash bangs and heavy mace would have made everyone aware of the cop's presence and incapacitate them enough to bring the into custody. I don't think a firearm discharge was a very responsible decision in this situation and it is a sign of poor police training, not necessarily the character of the officer who perpetrated the shooting.

The True Nihilist

Seeing the orientation of that cop, the person about to be stabbed, and the stabber, those bullets could have easily ripped through the stabber and hurt or kill the person getting stabbeed or ricochet off the car behind them and hit some bystander. Once again, RUBBER BULLETS and bear spray would have resulted in less death. Or just shoot one of those M80 flash bangs out of a grenade launcher.

I feel like you guys were a bit dismissive of Richard Dawkins proposing a scientific discussion just cause his take might not fit the accepted narrative. He didnt outright say anything offensive in his tweet, but I get it. I do appreciate the nuance of the discussion in the police video segment at the end! I agree with you guys on that 100%. Also Jaime has another shit take? Surprising... what an idiot.

Yeah but tj is an edge lord and Paul feels guilty for being racist in the past

It's the far left and political grifters trying to see what they can get away with, testing the waters.

The reaction to the cop shooting the girl with the knife is pretty ridiculous. I’m not pro police, but I completely agree with Paul here. A lot of anti cop rhetoric is just reactionary. I’ve even see people gleefully post about cops getting killed, which is just inhumane.

Ikr, if theirs one problem I have with DFF it’s that their isn’t enough elitism in the patreon, like I’m a member of the chefs table, and yet I’m grouped with the other “patrons” and now these barely civilized philistines who only joined a paltry few hours ago get a knob polishing!? Outrageous you scammers simply outrageous.

When deploying non-lethal weapon police always try to have lethal cover (another officer pointing a gun in case it doesn't work). It also takes much more time to deploy non-lethal weapons vs lethal. Tazers often catch on clothing fabric, and if one of the two prongs doesn't embed into the flesh nothing happens. Using a taser when someone is 2 feet from another pulling back a knife to thrust into the other person would be very disrespectful of the life of the person being stabbed considering the high chance of failure.
