oyaskii:Then it's wrong for the police to shoot at them. Basic protocol dictates that the police only shoot when lethal force is anticipated. Basically, you have to actually attempt to kill a police officer or a civilian before lethal force (shooting) can be used against you. That scene was depicting racist brutality against the black man. 1 Like |

Kaycee7:I still stated that the lethal force was not necessary yesterday, but they have clearly made up thier mind to cross the border or least go down as some kind of hero seeing they already had a cult following among the blacks. In all honesty what would you have suggested the police should have done? |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by toluxe0075: 7:50am On Apr 20, 2020 |
oyaskii:As usual, it's a sympathy movie about how much cops hate blacks. I don't see myself watching such movies in the nearest future, I'm getting tired of them. |

MacCantStopMe: In that period and background, police would never arrest a black man. They knew they were dead from the beginning. They only delayed their end. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by DrDax: 8:22am On Apr 20, 2020 |
oyaskii: They were always going to kill them. |

mekaprime: They are black and then cop-killers too. No redemption for them in that era. They were dead men walking..... |

The Lincoln Lawyer (2011) An oncreen adaptation of one of Michael Connelly's 31 novels. Introducing Mickey Haller, a criminal defense attorney. Mickey is as streetwise as any of the criminals he had defended. He's also half-brother to Detective first class, Harry Bosch, Micheal Connelly's mainstay cum principal Hero. Folks that follow Amazon Prime's Cop drama, Bosch, will know what I'm talking about. Mickey Haller can hustle with the best of them. Hence when a rich client came calling, claiming to be innocent of the crime he's been accused of, thus ensued a tale of deceit, betrayal, and the search for truth, and payback. It's a very regaling, suspense-filled and twisty legal thriller. Mathew McConaughey put in a slam dunk performance worthy of the Oscars. He certainly brought Mickey Haller from the novels to life. The intense stares, the cocky half smiles, the charm, the deadpan expressions. Lastly, A big shout out to Mickey's Lincoln Navigator. As an admirer of mint vintage cars, the vehicle is fine asf. |

Kaycee7: If I may chip in something here. Sometimes when no amount of persuasion or warnings work on a belligerent person cops have no other option than to use force. Ok, here's the scenario here. They were cop killers, & they were considered armed & dangerous. The cops orders them more than once to lay down on the ground, they refused. what would you have the cops do under this scenario? walk up to them, knowing fully well they might be armed & dangerous? Nobody wanted to take such risks on a supposed cop killer. Also, how long were you expecting the cops to wait for them to comply?. Since they were never going to comply, what were you expecting the cops to do, hold hands & sing Kumbaya? The lady cop who shot Queen might have misfired, but what about Slim? why was he so stubborn, why didn't he just lay still. The fact is that, they both wanted to go out that way, that was why they did what they did. I'd only choose to see it as racial brutality if they complied and was shot still. |

Blood Diamonds So, I finally saw this movie after almost a decade plus. Di Caprio was 10/10 in his performance, unarguably one of the Hall of Fame member of Hollywood. What can I say about Africa? From Congo to Nigeria, to Sudan, to Somalia, to Liberia, to Rwanda, to Sierra Leone, even to South Africa, Kenya, Ivory Coast and d list goes on. I hope we have finally learnt our lessons that war leaves destruction and poverty when we allow it into our homes. To the developed countries, they must stop funding these wars tru illegal arms purchase and d struggle for mineral welath. Man unkind to Mankind. |

mekaprime: The protocol is to negotiate first. If that fails, then, surround the suspects and neuter them either by taser or takedown |

mekaprime: A name like this should tell you that the movie was hastily put together in order to ride the corona virus wave and as such, the movie will most likely suck |

MacCantStopMe: Some few bad eggs amongst the blacks brought this upon the entire black populace. With cases like the one below, don't expect the hatred to end anytime soon. I also see the hatred spreading to blacks who are black & blue. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8229087/Slain-police-officer-Breann-Leaths-funeral-takes-place-Indianapolis-Motor-Speedway.html |

MacCantStopMe:Explain how you will "take down" or neuter someone with a taser wielding a semi automatic weapon and holding a hostage |

mekaprime: Now I understand that I'm debating with people who have no idea about life abroad. Yes, I might sound arrogant elitist and rude but it is only natural. You are ignorant of american history and black experience there. So it is african Americans that brought police brutality on themselves? Do you know how silly that sounds? 1. First are there not anti police whites? Are there not white criminals? 2. Or have you forgotten American history where police routinely arrested blacks for no reason or useless reasons like talking to white girls, being in white business premises and walking in the night? 1 Like |

MacCantStopMe:Lolz.. how do you negotiate with Fugitives & cop killers, in the course of the negotiation, what do you think they'd have asked for, seeing that a plane was already few meters at their back. Here's an excerpt from a cop on how they work. https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/08/19/im-a-cop-if-you-dont-want-to-get-hurt-dont-challenge-me/ |

oyaskii: ![]() Were either Slim or Queen holding armed with guns? The point is that they were unarmed and the protocol would have been to de-escalate |

mekaprime: Here is a quote from the police officer in the link you posted. Think about it "One time, for instance, my partner and I faced a belligerent man who had doused his car with gallons of gas and was about to create a firebomb at a busy mall filled with holiday shoppers. The potential for serious harm to the bystanders would have justified deadly force. Instead, I distracted him with a hook about his family and loved ones, and he disengaged without hurting anyone. Every day cops show similar restraint and resolve incidents that could easily end up in serious injuries or worse." 2 Likes |

mekaprime: If a perp refuses to comply but is unarmed, the law stipulates a law enforcement officer must utilize de-escalation techniques, which entails, using verbal persuasion for the primary purpose of convincing a perp to surrender voluntarily. When verbal persuasion doesn't work, then cops are allowed to use minimal force to force the perp to comply. This is when tasing or pepper splaying the perp is necessary. Cops are only allow to use fatal force if/when a perp is carrying, and is not complying to directives. 1 Like |
