A woman is dead following a “tragic chain of events” that began with a bomb threat against Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene at her Rome home, police said.

I didn’t answer that part because it was irrelevant to anything I was saying. And no, I don’t agree that saying an officer responding to something getting into an accident “implies” it is justified. Much less do I agree that someone stating that fact means they’re implying they personally thought it was justified.
Stating a fact? What fact? Because if you’re going to say it’s a fact they were responding to a bomb threat then it seems like you do need to address the other point. The one you’ve been dancing around the entire time. The one that invalidates everything else you’ve been saying.
What the fuck am I dancing around? I was just saying that the officer was driving to the HQ and in the process of responding to a threat.
Listen, this story is fucked. There’s like a million fuck ups involved. We don’t need to make up new ones to criticize them. An officer getting into a wreck and killing someone is bad regardless of whether they’re in the process of responding to a call or not or even on duty at all. The fact that they were responding to a threat (however fucking late lmao, I would’ve expected the mailbox blown up by the) doesn’t change it. It’s stupid and awful.
I’m not dancing around anything. You’re equating people correcting that the officer was responding to a dispatch (as opposed to just driving to work as part of their commute or something) while they got into a wreck that killed someone as them saying that makes it okay, but nobody has said that. Nobody has tried to say anything anywhere close to something like this was some sort of acceptable collateral damage of the policing process lol.
What threat?
I absolutely cannot deal with you. You’re being intentionally obtuse. They got a bomb threat. Yes, it ended up being fake. They didn’t know that at the time.
As dystopian as American police are, they do not have full on Minority Report style precogs using magical psychic powers to discern if a bomb threat is real or not the moment it is received.
And, again, because I feel like you’re missing my point, I’m not defending them. None of this was acceptable. I’m, literally, only saying they didn’t yet know the threat was fake. That’s it.
They got a bomb threat on Friday. This happened on Monday. How do you have the gall to claim anyone else of being intentionally obtuse? There was no threat.
This supposed accident had nothing to do with the bomb threat. It’s being used to cover up the death of a woman. And yes when you keep saying they were responding to a threat you are justifying it. Because you’re implying it was reasonable, you just said so again.
Like I said, there’s a million things here to criticize.
Okay, now this is an entirely different thing than the other stuff you’ve been saying. If you want to discuss that as a possibility then that’s fine.
No lol. An officer responding to a threat doesn’t magically give them the right to run down bystanders.
This thread is fucking wild thanks for staying with it
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills, for real. I don’t know what their deal is.
