I don't claim to know what happened there.

But I do recall a recent incident when a teenager from Kentucky was vilified for assaulting and disrespecting a Native American elder/veteran. Turned out to be a big lie, but that didn't stop the SJW lynch mob on the internet.

One of the unfortunate aspects of the modern world is that the internet can raise a lynch mob faster than Emmit Till's accuser did.

The collective IQ of that group of people called "a mob" is about the square root of the number of people in the mob

That's very noble of you but this is an internet forum and all we have to discuss are the materials posted.

Seems like you're making a case for addressing every topic involving a news report with: "well we don't really know for sure what happened here, so we had better just keep our comments to ourselves".

I'm not buying it.

True enough.
And we're talking about the mob of SJWs on the internet.
How many do you suppose that is?

I think the overall impact that these SJWs on the internet have on the world is grossly overstated; it's why they are mostly confined to the internet while normal people with genuine responsibilities actually impact the world around them.

I disagree.
People believing anything that they see on the internet, if it matches their preconceived ideas, causes a lot of damage.

I don't see where we disagree on this.

I just don't see how you can hold up people's responses to an altercation between a cop and a disabled child as an example of an "internet lynch mob".

Open question:

What are the benefits to a grown man police officer attacking a child with no arms or no legs?

I suppose it could be an interesting thing to witness.

Here's where we disagree.
I don't know what really happened. So I don't have an opinion worth talking about.
Lots of other people don't know what happened either, but like to talk about it as if they did.
Because they saw something on the internet that matched their preconceived ideas.

So you will never transcend your ethic of never discussing something you've only seen on the internet and have no first hand of views and events examines on this message board.

That is very ambitious of you.

Maybe you should keep your mouth shut the next time you have something to say about Trump.

I know a lot more about Trump than this episode in Arizona.
He's been news for decades and then ran for President.

But according to your logic, Trump could be a robot constructed specifically to meet political agendas.

Therefore you might not have any valid ground to comment.

Where do you draw the line where people are entitled to comment?

Seems like you've stepped up onto a soapbox in this thread.

It's the society we live in today. No LEO would have ever done that back in the day.

Some police departments don't require a college education.

They now tackle disabled and incapacitated individuals without discernment.

They put handcuffs on little kids.

I'm sure the police profile, when selecting officer candidates, would gravitate heavily toward people with sociopathic and psychopathic inclinations as these people lack empathy and would not hesitate to follow the rule of the letter prescribed by their superiors.


It's clear a number of officers have adequately demonstrated that they cannot think for themselves, but rather refer to the manual to do the thinking for them rather than using officer discretion based on whatever situations they are facing.
