1974. Glad to see it's not like that anymore...

This one made me shed tears.

The guy who was with the kid who fired the shots that got the police called to begin with, will go down for this.

Indeed. Terrible, and sad.

I'm not sure why you air something like that on GMA if you don't know what led up to it or what the previous incidents are. That seems to be a bit irresponsible to me.

 

[rajncajn]

not sure what you mean by 'primary'
how about 'significant'
and it's actually great that you don't jump to conclusions
but the next part is crucial - after not presuming, do you then go on to check if your presumptions are correct or not

Ok, significant. My answer would be yes, but I feel like you wouldn't believe me anyway. Not sure why you felt the need to provide me with material to help me form an opinion.

you stated an assumption - i showed how your assumption was not backed up by data
hopefully your opinion is able to adjust to 'new'/correct information

the flip side of your question is 'why would anyone want an opinion that is not tested'? what would the point be?

No, you're just playing a semantics game. You scored, I conceded.

You providing me with a tool to help me form my opinions implies that I don't already "weigh my assumptions," which is why I doubt you would believe me anyway if I told you I did. I don't mind my opinions being tested, I just mind when they're tested in a condescending manner.

'primary' held a rhetorical trap that i wanted to avoid ("how do you know it's the 1st thing that police think")
i don't think that you would use that particular dodge (i actually respect the way you discussing this topic even if i have issue with your conclusions), but someone could have - it's a convenient way to distract the topic
so i just asked for clarification if 'significant' held your meaning to avoid the potential derailing

your assumption was something that's been disproven on this board time and again for years
(semantically, i would argue that once 'assumptions' are weighed they're not assumptions anymore - just verified or incorrect opinions)
so there's really no reason to have an assumption about something with lots and lots of compelling evidence
- most of which i have to believe you've seen or been shown on this board

 

[APSaintsFan]

Yeah, I've been pulled over for a lie and been offered avoiding the ticket for a cash payment. The cop let me go with a warning when I showed him I wasn't carrying any cash. I was about 17 at the time.

Had the same back when i was 16 myself. Local town in Louisiana. 1982

BRPD seems to have some issues.

This is supposed to be surprising, right? I just don't understand why a cop has to worry about someone recording him doing his job, unless he's not doing it right, I guess.
