Popular Post david wild Posted July 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2017 So a young white woman getting married next month is gunned down by black cop, body cam was off, cruiser cam was off, and no one knows what happened, the now dead woman is the one that called 911 to report a possible crime and ends up dead, if this was to happen to a BLM supporter then riots and mayhem would erupt but instead it happened to a white woman, no outrage, no marches or riots, instead people will wait for the justice system to do it's job, that is what civilized people do, now that does not mean that BLM supporters are animals and uncivilized but ???? any way we now wait for the MN. State Police to do their investigation of the Black Minneapolis police officers actions. and no word from Al Sharpton or any of the bunch that scream when the police screw up, I guess that what happens when it's a dead white person. 16 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50511-a-call-for-riots/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamsterGrrrl Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Your trying to race bait this tragedy, it ain't about race- Minneapolis has a dysfunctional police force. Used to listen to the scanner when I lived there, heard one officer shoot another officer who was working plainclothes. Heard another officer shot in the station, not sure if he shot himself or another officer shot him. They also had a crash with an officer behind the wheel plowing into a crowd that was watching a parade and killing two, later found that the officer hadn't driven the vehicle before and mistook the gas for the brake.

Mack Technician Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Looks like a simple observation to me. "According to Fatal Encounters, the database created by former Reno News & Review editor and journalism instructor Burghart (which tracks all deaths resulting from interactions with police), a total of 1,388 people were killed by police in 2015, 318 (23%) of them black, and 560 (40%) of them white." 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50511-a-call-for-riots/#findComment-375261 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel2 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Office of Communications A Division of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety NEWS RELEASE Bruce Gordon, Director of Communications CONTACT: Jill Oliveira 651-793-2726jill.oliveira@state.mn.us FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 18, 2017 Update on BCA Investigation of Minneapolis Officer Involved Shooting ST. PAUL — The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) today confirmed identity of the two Minneapolis Police Department officers involved in an officer involved shooting incident on Saturday, July 15. The BCA is conducting the investigation at the request of the Minneapolis Police Department. Officer Matthew Harrity has been an officer with the Minneapolis Police Department for one year. [Somali immigrant] Officer Mohamed Noor has been an officer with the Minneapolis Police Department for 21 months. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office on Monday evening confirmed the identity of the deceased as Justine Maia Ruszczyk, 40, of 5024 Washburn Avenue South in Minneapolis. Ruszczyk died of a single gunshot wound to the abdomen. BCA agents interviewed Officer Harrity earlier today. Officer [Mohamed] Noor has declined to be interviewed by BCA agents at this time. Officer Noor’s attorney did not provide clarification on when, if ever, an interview would be possible. According to the BCA’s preliminary investigation, officers Harrity and Noor responded to a 911 call from a woman now identified as Ruszczyk of a possible assault near her residence just after 11:30 p.m. Saturday. Officer Harrity was driving. Officer Noor was in the passenger seat. The officers drove south through the alley between Washburn and Xerxes avenues toward West 51st Street in search of a suspect. All squad lights were off. As they reached West 51st Street, Officer Harrity indicated that he was startled by a loud sound near the squad. Immediately afterward Ruszczyk approached the driver’s side window of the squad. Harrity indicated that Officer Noor discharged his weapon, striking Ruszczyk through the open driver’s side window. The officers immediately exited the squad and provided medical attention until medical personnel arrived. Ruszczyk was pronounced dead at the scene. Both officers have been placed on standard administrative leave. Officer Harrity told investigators that the officers saw an 18-25 year old white male who was bicycling eastbound on West 51st Street immediately before the shooting. This individual stopped at the scene and watched as the officers provided medical assistance to Ruszczyk. BCA agents would like to speak with this person, and anyone else who may have witnessed the incident. These individuals are asked to contact the BCA at 651-793-7000. Crime scene personnel recovered a cell phone near the victim. No weapons were recovered. Body cameras were not turned on until after the shooting incident. The squad camera was not turned on. Investigators are aware of no video or audio of the shooting. The BCA’s investigation does not determine whether a law enforcement agency policy was violated. That would be reviewed through the agency’s internal affairs process. The BCA’s investigation into the shooting is active and ongoing. The BCA has briefed the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office about all evidence and information obtained in this investigation to date. As it does in all investigations, the BCA will present its findings without recommendations to the county attorney for review once the investigation is complete. https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/ooc/news-releases/Pages/Update-on-BCA-Investigation-of-Minneapolis-Officer-Involved-Shooting.aspx Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50511-a-call-for-riots/#findComment-375272 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The Guardian / July 18, 2017 The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) said it had interviewed Matthew Harrity, but Mohamed Noor had declined to be interviewed by BCA agents. Betsy Hodges, mayor of Minneapolis, told a press conference in Minneapolis on Tuesday night: “We cannot by law compel Officer Noor to make a statement. I wish that he would. “I wish that he would because he has a story to tell that only he can tell.” Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull called the fatal shooting of Damond on the weekend “shocking” and “inexplicable”. “How can a woman out in the street in her pyjamas seeking assistance be shot like that?” the prime minister asked. “It is a shocking killing and, yes, we are demanding answers on behalf of her family.” https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/jul/19/malcolm-turnbull-demands-answers-from-us-authorities-over-justine-damonds-death Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50511-a-call-for-riots/#findComment-375275 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in a town of 1,000. The local Tech institute would send new graduates to train for one year under our police chief, he was outstanding as a mentor. What an annual nightmare. They tried to minimize trainee damage by sending them to us and it was chaos. On Monday morning there was a line outside our police chiefs home...people complaining. He would rip up whatever ticket you were willing to approach his door with. It was common for immature rookies to go out drinking, socializing, dating and getting stupid with the local "20 something's" then go out to satisfy social vendettas while on the clock. Same thing was going on in Crandon, WI, only that ended with the officer killing 6 over a dating issue.

TeamsterGrrrl Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Having lived in Minneapolis for three decades, I've met several of the characters involved and had several interactions with the city's police, so this is no surprise. The historians generally agree that Minneapolis' police were thoroughly corrupt until mayor Hubert Humphrey cleaned house in the 1940s. But Humphrey was only mayor for a few years before moving on to the senate, so I suspect the corrupt cops just went back to business as usual after he left. Former police chief Boza, a retired cop who wrote a book on the department, and a number of other authorities agree that the department is dysfunctional. Throw in the drug fueled crime wave of the 80s and 90s and we've got a department whose SOP is to operate "locked and loaded" with the safety off... No surprise that mere fireworks in the area may have caused a cop to panic and shoot an unarmed civilian. This paranoid approach to law enforcement is common in Minnesota, note the similarity to the panicked police shooting that occurred in a suburb of Minneapolis last year. Police are taught to fear everyone- When I applied for a DOT truck inspector job back in the 90s, I probably didn't make the final cutoff because I gave the wrong answer to the question "You are inspecting a truck and the driver is becoming angry". The correct answer is "Retreat and call for backup". That's increasingly the mentality of cops in Minnesota and much of America. Combine that paranoid police behavior with a segment of the population that's amassing arsenals and runs around "locked and loaded" too, and you've got a recipe for disaster...

Mack Technician Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 If Minnesota dumbed down it is likely rooted in it's conservative roots(no pun intended) being chopped at...They have(had) a rich history of "getting it". Plus they have better fishing than on that side of the border, unfortunately. Pig Walleye in Leech Lake that will flip your ice shack onto it's side. Minnesota Crime Commission, 1926 - "Every baby starts life as a little savage. He is completely selfish and self-centered. He wants what he wants when he wants it: his bottle, his mother’s attention, his playmate’s toys, his uncle’s watch, or whatever. Deny him these and he seethes with rage and aggressiveness which would be murderous were he not so helpless. He’s dirty, he has no morals, no knowledge, no developed skills. This means that all children, not just certain children but all children, are born delinquent. If permitted to continue in their self-centered world of infancy, given free rein to their impulsive actions to satisfy each want, every child would grow up a criminal, a thief, a killer, a rapist." 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50511-a-call-for-riots/#findComment-375288 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post david wild Posted July 20, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2017 My point is not really about the Black Somali cop, it's about the lack of concern from the left media, or the ones that call for riots when it's a black person that is killed, I'm not race baiting, I am disappointed about the reaction from the public, but since it was brought up, explain to me how the President of the country can excuse one group of people for riots and damage to peoples proprety and that is not a racist act yet a person defending themselves in legal fashion is a racist and bigot ???????? all I want is equal under the law, liberals talk a great BS line now let's hear what you have to say, If your going to defend poor behavior and blame it on something from 150 years ago you need to get a life. what a black person does today has nothing to with anything other than they refuse to live in a civilized world and obey the laws we all live under. who made them excempt from laws the rest of live by ??? why is everything about they were slaves, there were white slaves too, how about them?? how about telling the real truth and then defend people like the BLM ??? can't be done, there is no excuse. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50511-a-call-for-riots/#findComment-375339 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post david wild Posted July 20, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2017 OJ Simpson was found innocent because the black jurors wanted to send a message, right or wrong they will take care of their own even when they break the law, then yes they all can grouped together, according to liberals and the world of black we whites are all to blame for there problems, when a black person makes a comment to me that I owe them then I can group them together, I owe them nothing, I want them to get a education, a job and get a life and stop blaming the white world for there problems, there problems are created by them and I'm tired of hearing every time they screw up it is somehow because a white person did them wrong. I treat the blacks in our business just like the whites, probably better because I will climb on the ass of a white person acting stupid without mercy, they can't poo hoo because I'm on their ass because they are black, I'm on their ass because they are stupid, yes if hating stupidity is racist then I guess I'm racist, but I'm not I just really cannot stand stupid people white or black. But once again you have to accuse people of racism instead of coming up with constructive ways to stop the stupid actions of certain groups of people, but then you couldn't call people racist and bigot and that would give you nothing to do. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50511-a-call-for-riots/#findComment-375344 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamsterGrrrl Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Not exactly, but ownership of absurdly large amounts of firearms and ammo does tend to correlate with "clinging to the past" philosophy. It's pretty much a proven fact that unionized workers are better paid, as evidenced by some of the jealousy towards union members on this forum. Higher pay attracts the best workers, no surprise. And your poor grammar is rather telling... Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50511-a-call-for-riots/#findComment-375379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
