Man Killed By London Police Had Nothing To Do With Bombings

FORD, do you have any optimism left in you or do you
always seek the "gloom and despair" in everything?
every time you post something, the glass is half empty,
never half full.

I've watched my country die at the hands of criminals for the last 5 years, and people like yourself blissfully ignorant of what's going on. Doesn't exactly inspire the Mary Sunshine outlook.

Turns out his visa had expired and he thought he was about to be deported.

Last week the government announced there were approximately 280,000 illegal immigrants in UK. Better make that 279,999 now.

It's a fuck up and a personal tradgedy but an understandable one.

Yeah, it's a fuck up alright.

Just admit it.

I guess everyone in the UK that doesn't halt when the police tells them to can not be expected to be assassinated "Mafia style" with a few to the back of the skull, huh?

I guess everyone that doesn't understand English better leave the country, right? Of course, you were against the Muslim "invasion" if I remember correctly anyway.

A University of Chicago Study revealed that in 1993 approximately 700,000 police killed 330 innocent individuals, while approximately 250,000,000 private citizens only killed 30 innocent people. Do the math. That's a per capita rate for the police, of almost 4000 times higher than the population in general. OK, that is a little misleading. Let's just include the 80,000,000 gun owning citizens. Now the police are down to only a 1200 times higher accidental shooting rate than the gunowning population in general.

That still sounds high. So let's look at it in a different light. According to a study by Newsweek magazine, only 2% of civilian shootings involve an innocent person being shot (not killed). The error rate for police is 11%. What this means is that you are more than 5 times more likely to be accidentally shot by a policeman than by an armed citizen. But, when you consider that citizens shoot and kill at least twice as many criminals as do police every year, it means that, per capita, you are more than 11 times more likely to be accidentally shot by a policeman than by an armed citizen. That is as low as I can get that number.

This is not meant to be an indictment of the police. In fact, because police often live on the edge, they naturally tend to shoot first and ask questions later. Although they are trained to repress this instinct, it does not always work, as evidenced by the number of innocent people killed by police. Also, since they are generally better marksmen, they tend to kill, rather than wound or totally miss their target. The Kleck study shows that police shoot and kill around 600 criminals each year. Yet the University of Chicago study shows that police killed 330 innocent individuals in 1993. That means that for every two criminals killed by police, one innocent citizen is killed by police.

I think you're onto something there.

two things

1) 12 years old. No newer stats?

2) then tell the ghetto peeps to stop running away from the cops. If they are clean, they can't be booked for anything. Why jet in broad daylight whenever a cop gets out of his car? That just makes you look suspicious. And it doesn't help when you try to fight/harm the cop. That tends to anger them.

You would get a far better education at the bar stool next to me than that adult learning centre you go to.

Why? All races, creeds, and backgrounds live in the ghetto. My neighborhood is borderline ghetto and I was talking about random acts I see near me done by white kids. Perhaps you are the racist as you automatically assumed I was talking about any specific minority.

[scorpioboy33]

perhaps..but nah....you're the racist

[Ally_Kat]

Funny thing to be saying about someone you don't know, but okay. Whatever you want to assume about me.

Ally and Scorp.

Stop throwing the race card at each other and step back for a moment to reflect on why I even posted the [old] study
