Culprit - really  Perhaps you might want to re-frame it. A mental health worker of some sort gets shot while with a person with autism because some idiot rings the police about a gun. The man I would have thought was trying not only to not get shot but not get killed. Your translation of that is that the bloke is much more concerned about the money & rubbing their hands together. |
I agree and that wasn't how I meant it to come out. All I am hearing is his lawyer talking about compensation. Seriously, it's about the money not the man he saved in the lawyers mind. The guy deserves all the credit for saving the other guy but the lawyer is an ambulance chaser that will kill any goodwill. |
Cheers, makes more sense now. Mind you I'd be getting serious lawyers in if it were me too. |
No, the serious ones are usually putting it on for show - what you want is the ones with the slight smirks. |

Regarding the guy shot while lying on the ground with his hands up and the autistic bloke next to him, the police explanation doesn't exactly cover them in glory.
| Quote: | Rivera said the police officer opened fire because he thought the white individual, whom they later learned is a man with autism, was going to harm Kinsey.
He said the officer was trying to shoot the patient in an attempt to save Kinsey’s life.
“This wasn’t a mistake in the sense that the officer shot the wrong guy or he thought that Kinsey was the bad guy,” he said in a press conference.
“The movement of the white individual made it look like he was going to discharge a fire arm into Mr Kinsey and the officer discharged trying to strike and stop the white man and unfortunately, he missed the white male and shot Mr Kinsey by accident.”
Rivera said that the video footage of the incident was “being portrayed poorly.” |

Ummm. OK.
So the explanation for shooting an unarmed innocent man, is that you were trying to shoot an unarmed innocent autistic bloke because you thought the toy train was a gun?
You had time to go and get rifles out of the car, you could put your fkn glasses on first so you could see what was going on and you wouldn't need to try to shoot anyone?

I hear that there is an eminently qualified person for that job. They will have to wait until he comes off-contract and is unemployed - that will be about in November - but he'd be perfect for them. They should give him a call. His name is Donald Trump.

An interesting take on it....
http://sultanknish.blogspot.com.au/2016/07/exploiting-dead-cops-to-promote-their.html
In Dallas, Obama mentioned the name of dead sex offender Alton Sterling more times than those of the murdered police officers whom he was pretending to memorialize. After quickly dispensing with the formalities of eulogizing the slain officers, Obama demanded that “even those who dislike the phrase ‘black lives matter’” should “be able to hear the pain of Alton Sterling’s family”.
Alton Sterling was a convicted sex offender, burglar and violent criminal who was shot while reaching for a gun. His family may mourn him, just as every criminal’s family mourns their own, but it was obscene to class him together with five police officers who were murdered by a violent racist while doing their duty.

I reckon the dead and injured will be mostly black. Someone yelled out "Get Down" and they got up and danced. |
