How Come There Wasn't More "Outrage" Over This Execution Of An American Civilian By The Police?

Nope, just can't make that comparison. Yes, cops are getting very quick triggered. It may be a result of every idiot in this country being able to possess any weapon he wants. We have had cops shot when they stopped someone to write a traffic ticket. I would wager you have never dealt with a drunk, armed idiot have you? I didn't call the shooting rightful; in fact, I said the widow would probably win her suit, but the cop is still ALIVE, and that was the issue he settled. Walk a mile in his shoes before you judge. Can you imagine your son being on the 4th floor of the same hotel with his wife, having a couple of drinks? Maybe? Can you imagine the caller making a mistake and saying there was a gun on the 4th floor? Your son gets shot and you say "well, at least the cops went home safe". By your reasoning, every traffic stop the driver should be greeted with a swat team. One wrong move or you sneeze you get shot. If you are going to speculate on why cops have a quick trigger, then I can speculate that Brailsford wanted to shoot someone. Why else would he have the words "YOUR F-CKED" etched on his gun? We should all support the police, and that means hold the bad ones accountable. Support the police, not the Police State. |

Scary scenario for any cop, and that translates into a quick trigger finger when the suspect repeatedly makes moves he had been told (repeatedly) not to make. Daniel Shaver loses, Brailsford probably has a career ruined, the wife makes out OK. Not much of a bleeding heart story if you ask me, especially for the wife. Would you feel differently if that was your son? Probably not, right? Here is an innocent man, who committed no crimes, who was not a threat to anyone, who was co-operating with the officers and to the best of his abilities, trying to comply with the confusing orders shouted at him, ends up dead because the police were scared he might pull a gun out of his gym shorts. If the police can justify this shooting, then they can justify any shooting. |

The only silver lining is that some of the people who die will be the ones who think like you do. |

What are the odds of someone tying you up and raping your wife? When you stop locking your doors then we can stop vetting refugees. |

I'm interested in hearing your views on who qualifies for marriage according to God? Can a child, say 9 or 10 years old be married according to God? If so, would you be ok with that happening? You have free will in everything you do. Maybe you will come around and see the light, or maybe you won't. God knows but the choice is still yours.

You cannot have good without evil. If God prevented sorrow, how will you know what joy is? Its the yin and yan sort of thing.

Serious question, I am by no means a biblical expert. Wouldn't that be considered genocide? I am not a biblical expert either Ktrain. You have a point about genocide. I think the story of Noah explains why God did what he did. He regretted making man because of all the evil he saw.

That's great. What is your opinion based on? Why is your opinion superior to someone who wants to eat babies for breakfast? If there is a God, I would like to think he would do something to prevent rapes, murders, etc. Since he's all powerful and all knowing right? And take away your free will? He will do something to prevent murder, rape, etc. Revelation 21 King James Bible A New Heaven and a New Earth 1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Get your name written in the Lamb's book of life!

Weak Weak Weak. The subject is morality, not the survivability of a society. how you say you get your morality from a god that condones murder, rape, slavery, and genocide is beyond me, unless of course you think those things are moral... Your understanding of God and God's word is abysmal. God does not condone these things. In your godless worldview, someone who thinks murder, rape, slavery, and genocide is moral would be just as right as you are. There is no right and wrong, only opinions of right and wrong. |

It would be no more wrong to kill somebody as it would be for a lion to eat his own cub, if there was no God. And by your logic abortion is wrong.

Quote Originally Posted by SYSTEM: it has to do with being part of a society and doing what helps that society to thrive and survive. I do not condone murder, rape, slavery, and genocide...that alone makes me more moral than your god...read the bible... Very weak argument. So, society determines morality? Are all societies equally moral? If a society condones murder, rape, slavery, and genocide, then it is now moral? Again, what is your basis for determining morality? Without God, you have no basis.

Quote Originally Posted by SYSTEM: I'm more moral than your god... Where do you get your morals from? Why are your morals superior to the next guys morals? Without borrowing from the Christian worldview, tell us why stealing, rape, and murder is wrong. Convince me why I shouldn't do these things if that's what I want to do. If there is no God, and we are only here for a short time, then why shouldn't I try to do whatever I want to if I can get away with it?

To continue
You will say murder is wrong because....you say so? If someone disagrees with you, why are you right and they are wrong. It is one opinion verses another.
