Having A Right To Carry Does Not Make You A LEO

"From the article:

"She said that she was told by the police that an officer asked Waller to put down the weapon, but he would not comply."

Sounds like a legit shoot to me. As unfortunate as it is for all concerned. If the police tell you to drop your weapon and you refuse to comply, you get what you got coming. "

That's what they always say. Like the "furtive move" after the shootee turns out to be unarmed.

Cops have a lot of ways to get out of a bad shoot. That's one of several.
 
Bottom line is this: if a cop tells you to drop the gun do it. That isnt the time to get all philosophical or start arguing. Just drop the weapon... if you dont you will probably digest some lead.

Treo, honestly, I think you need professional help. Holding onto grudges that are more than a year old over such a meaningless discourtesy is bordering on obsessive. I guess the age of that slight will have to be reason enough to forgive being misquoted, but back on Feb. 28, 2012, I said you were a "pusillanimous poltroon." It was a redundant use of language, but it rolled off the tongue with such poetic rhythm that I went ahead and used it because the depth of its redundancy was only exceeded by its truthfulness.

I certainly have never claimed to be Christ-like, but even if I had, the utterance was in response to you saying, "After reading some of your posts I really, really, believe that some of you strap up every day praying to God for a chance to be a hero."

As in this thread, your wild imagination got away from you about what people were saying, and I answered that tripe by saying, "...I challenge you to cite one post where anyone said anything close to the equivalent of praying to God for "the chance" to get into a gunfight. One post you pusillanimous poltroon. Good luck with that."

Of course, that reply didn't come in a vacuum. It was preceded by many posts of yours that could have inspired the same kind of utterance from me or anyone else, including the very person who was involved in the shooting we were discussing. Not surprisingly, you never supplied any example that would lead you to such a specious, insulting, unjustifiably judgmental, and dare I say, un-Christ-like, conclusion about people with whom you had disagreements in an internet forum discussion.

But here, you're not satisfied with exaggerating as an "attack" the honest questions about a Bible Chapter that I've sought your opinion on after you invoked it to buttress an argument you were having with someone else, now you go into outright dishonesty to make me look bad in reader's eyes, when you say:



I called you a pusillanimous poltroon because of what you said that I quoted above. We weren't discussing a "world view" subject at all, we were discussing a very isolated and specific incident that you adopted an extremely jaded, but more importantly, incorrect and inaccurate view of right from the start. And in what may be the irony of all ironies that I have ever encountered on this forum, the thing you said that put us squarely at odds in that thread was that even if the law said that you were obligated to give a witness statement, you would still sneak out the back door before the cops got there to avoid compliance! In case you have forgotten, this all started in this thread because you invoked Romans 13 against Axeanda45's assertion that, "We are also NOT commanded by Him to follow evil men or govt," and your answer to that said that Romans 13 says, "....that we are [to] obey the laws of that government unless they directly contradict the word of God." And now you bring up a year+ old thread where the reason for my strong disagreement with you was partly due to your position that you would be "Gone like yesterday's news" even if the law obligated you to wait for cops and give a witness statement! So what word of God would have been *directly contradicted* by your legal obligation to stick around long enough to give a witness statement, hmmm? Un-freakin'-real, Treo.



First, if I "get off" on this "game" you speak of, you have to give me that a year+ between such orgasmic delight means I control my urges quite well.

Second, my language skills in this instance are only eclipsed by your depth of hypocrisy, your dishonesty, and your cognitive dissonance. It wasn't any skill on my part that made you write all the inconsistent and irreconcilable memes you have exposed your propensity for, Treo. You brought up Romans 13. You claimed it demands obedience to our government lest we bring judgment (or damnation, depending on which version we're discussing) upon ourselves. You brought up a year+ old thread where you said in your own words that you would defy a law in complete disobedience of the interpretation of Romans 13 that you put forward in this thread. If you think you look like a fool, that's on you, and has nothing whatsoever to do with any language skills I may or may not possess.



That'll be the day.

both of you should just accept that other people are allowed to have opinions.

I'd be very interested in the details of you drawing on the cops and not being arrested over it

Watch out for Rambo over here!

Very interested in hearing this story...
 
Sorry. I no longer reside in the state in which the "altercation" occurred.

ETA: its a long story but its a true story. Three cops all jammed up in a tiny stair way with no place to go. I opened my door and shoved my hand gun at the lead officer. He near crapped his pants. They all stood motionless, in shock not knowing what to do.
After a few moments of me screaming in their collective faces, the lead officer spoke up and asked me if I could put my gun away.
Rookies and troublemakers the lot of them. I can still see the shocked look on their faces.
My other LE friends from the town over from mine never let those three cops forget that I got the drop on them and if I were a killer... None of them would have made it out of that stairwell alive.
Ah the good old days (20 years ago!)
