Fake Nice Guy John Kasich is a Jerk to a Cop for No Reason (VIDEO)

Berniebot posted and deleted here before I could reply with my wall-of-text. So here it is:

THE ORIGINAL POST

The main reason these "force incidents" are so galling is that in a ton of these cases, bad actors avoid punishment. The blue wall of silence puts them above the public, and I can't respect that.

Look at that pussy that shot Tamir Rice. He was a fuck up with emotional problems that got fired from his previous department with a recommendation for him to seek another line of work. He obviously disagrees, so he gets hired in Cleveland because they failed to run a background check.

He and his partner took what admittedly appeared to be a potentially dangerous situation and escalated it into a lethal confrontation with no fair warning. Then they stand around trying to get their story straight while this kid bleeds out in front of them.

I don't have a problem with Donald supporting cops, but I'd like to see him make an acknowledgement that there are a significant number of reckless, stupid, or intentionally vicious cops out there. You don't have to pick either the president of the patrolmen's association or a Black Lives Matter protester; there's a balance that can be struck here.

You're regurgitating what the mainstream media has been shoving down our throats since Ferguson. If /r/the_donald has taught you anything, it should be that you can't trust the news. Let me play Devil's Advocate and break down your opinion:

The main reason these "force incidents" are so galling is that in a ton of these cases, bad actors avoid punishment.

Cite a few, unless you're going off of emotions (like Tamir Rice, which I'll address in a second, or those incidents that clearly display resisting arrest). Go ahead, I'll wait.

Cops who do nothing wrong get punished, like Darren Wilson in Ferguson He was forced to leave his job amidst death threats to him, his family and his co-workers. The "ton" of incidents you arbitrarily refer to are justified use of force incidents.

Here's the fact of the matter: When a minority is killed by a white cop it makes headlines. Every time. This is where the illusion comes from. If you're inundated with it 24/7 you start to feel like it's happening all the time. It's profitable fiction for the media.

A few weeks ago a cop shot a black kid swinging a metal pole at him. Erroneous reports initially claimed it was a broomstick, causing public outcry. When the facts came out that it was a metal pole, the story just disappeared. Another recent story was a foot chase (white cop, black suspect) into a back yard. The guy had felony drug warrants. Cop shoots and kills the bad guy. The headline was "Allegedly unarmed black man shot in the back by white officer..." I read that article. The "news" agency got that story from the bad guy's friend who wasn't even there when it happened. Oh, and they recovered a gun next to the bad guy so that story got buried a few days later.

The blue wall of silence puts them above the public, and I can't respect that.

What blue wall of silence? Not talking to agencies like CNN or Fox News until an investigation is complete? What's wrong with that? A day after Darren Wilson was named his personal address and photographs of his family were all over the internet. He had to move. His life was in actual danger because he did his job.

Look at that pussy that shot Tamir Rice. He was a fuck up with emotional problems that got fired from his previous department with a recommendation for him to seek another line of work.

So if someone has a mental health disorder like PTSD they're a pussy? Considering the amount of horrific shit a big city cop likely sees on the day-to-day, I'd imagine it might leave a little bit of a scar. I'd be interested to see who made that recommendation and if they were even qualified to say anything like that. Furthermore, I wonder what his resume looked like to have him hired again. Local governments don't like liability.

He and his partner took what admittedly appeared to be a potentially dangerous situation and escalated it into a lethal confrontation with no fair warning. Then they stand around trying to get their story straight while this kid bleeds out in front of them.

This is nothing more than an emotionally charged argument like anything the liberals present. When someone calls 911 and says they see someone waving a gun around, it's not a "potentially dangerous situation." That is a dangerous situation.

Did the driver of the patrol car put them in a bad spot? Of course he did, that's obvious. What you have to remember is that cops don't watch these videos from a big comfy desk chair. You already know the outcome. You can slow it down, replay it scrutinize it.

Cops can't do that. Now I agree that it was a poor tactical decision to drive right up on the kid like we see in the video. Are poor tactics murder?

Now, consider the cop who you're calling a pussy. He gets out of the passenger side, and 6 feet away from him he sees a kid holding this gun (one of those guns is a real gun, one is the gun Tamir Rice held. Would you be able to tell the difference in a fraction of a second?

Cops are people. They're normal people just trying to support their families and earn a paycheck. They're not cyborgs or superheros. They get scared, get hurt, and make the same mistakes the rest of us do. It's important to stay objective and ignore the narrative when you look at these use of force videos.

If you really are a centipede, you need to start challenging the narrative. Ask questions. Mainstream media has been lying for too long and we've been going along with their bullshit and giving them ratings. The war on cops is doing nothing but making their ratings soar along with the crime rate. It's time to end it.

I'd like to see him make an acknowledgement that there are a significant number of reckless, stupid, or intentionally vicious cops out there.

And there it is, some stupid and arbitrary generalization based on nothing more than skimming MSNBC and CNN headlines.
