America's Children - real lippy?

<< < (16/16)

Ozymandias:
Negroes is a violant race.

Nodaisho:
The question about whether fighting is a normal part of a relationship or not seems like it could be a trick question. Do you define fighting as arguing whose turn it is to clean up after the dog, or someone ending up bleeding on the floor? In the context of the article, it suggests physical violence, but the context of the survey could have suggested something different. The ruining Chris Brown's career bit seems like it could have been completely unrelated to whether they thought the violence was all right. Sort of like does someone think that Yoko is to blame for the beatles breaking up being different than asking if they think that Lennon should have taken to beating her until she stopped tearing them apart. Not that the statistics aren't probably showing something close to the truth, I just take things like this with a grain of salt, especially when news is reporting on it.

Reed:
Originally I was going to make a joke about how men in Boston are all drunk Irishmen who beat their wives, but decided that it was taking it too far.

....Then I read Ozy's post, and realized that it is so much better than anything I could've said

Is it cold in here?:

Get both sides before you make a decision.  I'm not advocating unnecessary violence and the 2 shots to the back of the head after she's on the ground are definitely fishy.

--- Quote from: DonInKansas ---...the apparent shots to the head after the girl was down. Those appear fairly bush league.

Is it common among the law enforcement professionals you know to refer to an incident like this as "fishy" or "bush league"?

Is it common among the law enforcement professionals you know to believe that something like this might be justified by refusal to follow instructions, or by a hypothetical earlier assault?

Among the law enforcement professionals you know, how would another officer walking into that situation typically react?

Do you believe that deputy to be unusual based on your experience?

Does it make sense for the voters of King County to suspect a systemic problem in the department?
