A sensitive matter ramble #Ferguson
A peace officer may acquire and possess, without a license, an automatic weapon provided that the employer of the peace officer does not adopt a rule or policy prohibiting the acquisition or possession of such automatic weapons.
Opinion No. 6015 of Act 372 Michigan Law on FIREARMS.
Aside from my mental shredding from Mr. Williams...
People talk about "being for all races".
Members of the police force need a lot of consideration in people. If they are for justice, they are to protect and be the charisma of the society. Least that is what is supposed to happen. Commercial enforcement. But then, policemen come from all corners of the world. They can sign up and just not have a felony. They can have short tempers, they can have discriminatory impulses, they can have secret thoughts, they can hate their job.
Just like every person on your workforce.
Riots are very wrong; looting and causing a noise is wrong; discrimination is wrong; being too emotionally charged is wrong.
An unarmed kid, who apparently robbed the store (or was with an associate that did) and pushed a cop, was shot to death. But tons of people object that the boy was a criminal and deserved it. Just recently, a guy with a knife got shot to death after he didn't put down the knife and tried to approach an officer with it, ranting "SHOOT ME, KILL ME!"
I thought you used a firearm against an armed and hostage situation, and used as a psychological weapon.
In Michigan Legislature, there are a few things that cover assault and battery such as following: inflicting injury, intentionally discharging an firearm by any means (and if with harmful results), stalking, etc. These guys are prone to jail time, misdemeanor at least. This should be kept in mind with both officer and victims.
Protesting and "using your voice"; is understandable, but the current situation with the rioting is not. Strange, since I love revenge stories in fiction. However, I can't agree with approving crime at all. Even if there's anger against the police, even if an officer blundered, gave out the wrong ticket, discriminated, or went WAY too far in judgement of using a firearm, I don't approve in using the same behavior.
Especially don't like putting a voting booth near where the boy was killed. For some reason, someone thought that this opinion implied that I didn't agree with voting.
That's what I've decided. This is getting out of hand. Police are using tear gas and assault rifles even.
