3 NYPD detectives cleared in 50-shot killing of groom

Yes because when somebody in plains clothes pulls a gun out on you, you are going to panic regardless of your sobriety. The police should have called in uniformed backup. Proper police procedure....

 

the cop called for backup and asked them to exit the vehicle.

the drunk driver accelerated and hit a van. cops are not robots.

 

they did call it in.

so stone cold sober you think they are alive or dead?

 

Did I put words in your mouth?

You said and I quote:

Them being drunk led to the actions that took their lives so they suffer the consequences. No?

 

I can't say either and neither can you.

 

only if they would have survived if sober.

 

you can say what you think right?


I think alive.

 

I'm unsure. What if they were sober and tried to get away from somebody in plain clothes pulling a gun on them? Would these events still have taken place?

 

alcohol does affect decision making

 

Who are you to say they wouldn't have responded the same? Do you know them? If not, then you can't say you can only assume. I am unsure and will not say one way or the other because I don't know.

 

exactly, I am basing it on general knowledge of doing stuipid stuff while drunk.

and the general knowledge to not get behind the wheel while drunk

 

Dude, you are incredibly dense. This is completely irrelevant because:

a) You, or anybody else, has absolutely no way of knowing if the incident would have occurred if the victim was otherwise sober.

b) Cops aren't justified in shooting up somebody for drinking.

 

"Excuse me sir, can you call a cab for me and my friends?"

 

LOL! So you're saying drunks aren't responsible in one situation but they are in another? LOL!

 

which 2 situations are you talking about?

the one I see is where they drove a car drunk.

 

What was this line about then:

 

excuse me mr. cabbie, instead of being shot up 50 times, we would like to use your services. clearly those are our two choices

 

Pun and Pgab,

first off I like how we can talk bball in GARM and keep all this here in D&D. Pun you just gave me props on my Adelman callout thread.


I know you are probably high emotions or whatever right now but can we call a time out? I seriously have some crap to do.


I don't care what Lscola does but if you guys just posted a "cool", or "thats fine" or "till later" it would really help me get my mind off of this?

 

i didn't read those and will address them later, ok?

 

You made a point I agree with so yeah I did.

We're not keeping you from that, go do it. We can still post and you can respond later.
