In order for a democracy to succeed and you could define succeed however you wish, we have to empower the “government” (3 branches, legislative, executive, judicial) to create, enforce and monitor rules. If you live in America then you are subjected to its laws. That said, if a Police Officer, whether RIGHT or WRONG tells you to STOP. You STOP!!! Period, end of statement. If it’s a lawful order, then FINE, if it’s an unlawful order, then FINE. How can that be? Well if its lawful then they are carrying out their sworn duties, if its unlawful then you use the other branches of government to seek redress ie You get paid.

If a person has a badge and a gun COMPLY. If they violate your rights, SUE AFTERWARDS. I know there are rogue cops, and I know they are excellently trained to document what they want to come across, but I also know that they are EMPOWERED to issue commands. This was an unfortunate incident without a doubt, but I can’t tell you how many people RUN, SPEED AWAY, IGNORE the police when they identify themselves and issue a COMMAND to STOP. If you reach for ANYTHING it is presumed to be a gun. You don’t have the RIGHT to refuse the Officer’s lawful command, and unless you’re an attorney you don’t necessarily know if the command was lawful or not, so just comply, don’t reach into your pants, stop when they tell you to stop, avoid bad areas, and accept some responsibility for your mouth, actions, and attitude. You have less of a chance of being shot.

Tamera – I guess this is a reason why I dislike police, the government, etc.

Bill – You are right, the media reported whatever facts and that’s probably just another reason why they got away with murder. And no one will officially know unless they were there…

Me either. I am sure the “news” has reported whatever facts they felt would garner the most viewers or sell the most magazines.

I am not saying any of you are wrong, but one thing my years have taught me is that there are ALWAYS three sides to the story. His, Hers and the truth.

To be honest, it sadly happens over here as well. We had a case a couple of years ago where a man (Eugene Obiora) was choked to death AFTER being arrested, handcuffed and put flat on his stomach by four policemen. There were no shortage of witnesses to the murder, still the the case was ultimately dismissed by the court due to ‘lack of evidence,’ and the four assholes walked. Incidentally, the murdered man was of non-Norwegian ethnicity, and the police officer who put a choke hold on him had been previously convicted of racism – something which there seems to be no shortage of amongst the Norwegian police force. You know, it’s really just absurd. Hearing about these court verdicts sometimes make pinch yourself to make sure you’re not dreaming. So yup. We still have a LONG way to go.
