Musky, you really need to get out more and enjoy the rest of the site if you haven't read any of Just a Girl's posts before; s/he (for the sake of convenience and given user name I will assume she) has posted all over, but mostly on the Porch. This is the usual format - come into an established thread, post a long, possibly controversial post, state that there's no need to reply as she won't reply but then replies to further posts, sometimes throws out gratuitous insults toward other posters, then disappears again for a bit. That's fine; everyone can posts as much or as little as they want, but if you are looking for your soul mate musky then step out on the porch.muskydan said:
Holy crap man!!!!where have you been all my life??? Get ready to get hammered By the majority on here that see and hear only what their silly liberal brains want. Being a realist is taken as racist on here, you'll see.JUST A GIRL said:I've never seen so many sheep in my life.
Here's some facts for this thread.
No one is responsible for the death except the person who took the life, which was not the officer, or anyone besides the person who killed them selves.
Thousands of people a day are arrested. Not all of them kill themselves. It's not on anyone but the person who makes that decision.
It doesn't matter if the cop said "you're an angel" or if he said "you're a fucking turd" either way he did not kill anyone.
All of this talk, over this, because the mainstream media brainwashes you guys into thinking this shit is important. Like others have mentioned, why is the multiple black on black crimes ignored, but these crimes aren't?
Sometimes stereotypes are there for a reason, and in this case it's justified. Less than 13% of America is made up of blacks, but over 50% of murders are committed by blacks. I love how this is ignored 99% of the time.
Maybe so many blacks wouldn't be killed by police if they weren't crossing lines and breaking laws.
And to answer a few things mentioned here
The reason she was asked how long she was in Texas is because the law states you have 10-14 days to update your license after moving. If it's not it's a ticketable offense.
And the officer had every right to ask her to put out the smoke. It's her ignorance and self entitledment that led her to believe she didn't have to. You can be arrested for obstruction of justice for just about anything, including not complying with an officers order (the defenition of obstruction)
Again, at the end of the day, no one killed this woman but herself. Regardless of how she ended up where she did, she's at fault.
If I killed myself and blamed you guys would it make it right? It wouldnt. Same here with this situation.
It's time to wake up and realize this, and many other specific cases are thrust into the media purposefully, with the intention to fuel these debates on race and police, when it's truly all by design to keep your minds off of the real, bigger issues wrong with this country/government.
No need to reply directly to me, as I won't reply anymore. It's clear people don't care about my opinion here. But it's sad and pathetic to read all this crying over this case. How pc have we become?
Bottom line is this. We decide what actions we take. Our own actions (usually) decide what happens to us. I don't get murderer by the police because I follow the law and am not out in the street waving guns around or robbing stores. Again, maybe there's a reason all of these cases involve black people.
Lastly. Over the weekend a white man was arrested after a concert. He was thought to have been high on lsd. The police hog tied him
And placed him facedown on a stretcher, and then secured his head to he stretcher, face down. He also died in police custody. Not by suicide but through true police negligence. How
Many of you have heard that story? Not too many i assume. Again, it's all by design and specific cases are beat to death in the media on purpose.
Try and wake up and see the bigger picture here. The closed mindedness and flock mentality is staggering. I've lost a lot of respect for people here through this thread.

Yes, the trump card is a real comfort.Gern Blansten said:
Donald Trump, the Univ of South Carolina law professor and ME agree with you. Please take comfort in this.oftenreading said:
The whole point is that he should never have ordered her to get out of the car in the first place. There was no justification for it, so he backed himself into a corner by doing it. When she didn't comply, he didn't have the right to escalate it to physical force, but he didn't see any other option because his better judgment was clouded by anger. This is a "two wrongs don't make a right" situation - if he hadn't ordered her out of the car without any real justification to do so, and had instead just issued the ticket and allowed her to leave, then he wouldn't have felt compelled to reach in, yank her out, and threaten to taser her. The fact that he (and you) didn't see any other option at that point doesn't make it the right option.Thirty Bills Unpaid said:

JUST A GIRL, you seem to have a lot to say and some strong opinions but what is the point of saying, "And now.. Let's pretend I didn't say a word and, please carry on"? Either stand up for you you truly believe or don't bother because we all know you don't really mean for us to pretend you didn't say a word. And, no, I'm certainly not trying to chase you off. It's always good to hear new voices here, especially when those voices are being sincere.

Well said.jeffbr said:
So compliance with cops is now an optional thing? That's an interesting tactic for cops to take. "I'm going to tell you to do something. You get to decide whether you'd like to or not. If you choose not to, we'll just shrug our shoulders and call it good." Which orders or situations should fall into this category? "License and registration please?", or "Please put out your cigarette?", or "Drop your weapon?", or "Take your hands out of your pockets and keep them where I can see them?". Are you saying the cops should ignore non-compliance? Are you suggesting that we get to choose which lawful orders we get to disregard without consequence? I'm not really following the logic here.rgambs said:
Would that be so terrible? When you take that attitude that a cop can't ever back down, you are guaranteed to violate rights.Thirty Bills Unpaid said:

Me saying I won't post any more, and saying carry on without mentioning what i said, is because of previous posts.
Say what you want about how I post, but honestly, as soon as I shared honest feelings in the Bruce Jenner thread, I was ostracized.
To go back to that, I mentioned how I do not care what he personally does, but, I was offended how society is pushing 100% for acceptance of people's opinions and feelings. But as soon as I voice my displeasure in something I get jumped on, in total contrast to the point of accepting people for what they believe.
As for the posts on the porch, I admit those came out of frustration. I have been a fan for a long time, and know a ton about the history of the band. And when I see obvious statements that are clearly wrong, or, statements that are totally based upon rumos (pj comic con? Get real) and also, seeing BBH and GLS, two users posting and bumping threads that are "count downs to a tour announcement" when, these posts are based upon nothing more than speculation, is painful. It's border line trolling.
When this happens, and I am right, I don't come gloating. I tried to share my opinion but was instantly told to fuck off. I read the forum every day and enjoy it, but was very disheartened by sharing how I feel in a thread about Bruce Jenner (a thread, which was also title Bruce Jenner WTF?????) that I thought was questioning the obsenity of the decision to change from a man into a woman - meaning I thought it wasn't a pro Jenner thread in the first place.
I'll be happy to share my opinions, but refuse to get baited into arguments over shit that's ridiculous. Which is why my posts seem to be me "exploding" and leaving, because I disagree so much with quite a bit that's said. All this debate here on who's fault it was. It simply is the fault of the person who decided to kill them selves. So I apologize for becoming frustrated over all this discussion on things I find totally irrelevant.
And I stand by my statement that this is manufactured in the press to keep our minds occupied and debate each other - instead of the people coming together and getting frustrated with the people in power and spending the same energy figuring out how to fix those problems, we argue over who was right or wrong in a traffic stop.
I know many won't be able to see things through my eyes, but trust me.. The worlds a lot worse than many here would have you believe. I will keep it real until the end, and apologize if I offend people by doing so.

Pertinent to this thread, JAG: I can't say I know whether or not this particular story was manufactured to keep us debating in endless circles (although AMT could possibly be used to prove that's true for many stories, hahaha!) but, yes, a lot of main stream press is definitely aimed at keep us numb or ineffectual. I don't even consider mainstream news to be news. It's closer to what I call "a-muse-ment".JUST A GIRL said:Me saying I won't post any more, and saying carry on without mentioning what i said, is because of previous posts.
Say what you want about how I post, but honestly, as soon as I shared honest feelings in the Bruce Jenner thread, I was ostracized.
To go back to that, I mentioned how I do not care what he personally does, but, I was offended how society is pushing 100% for acceptance of people's opinions and feelings. But as soon as I voice my displeasure in something I get jumped on, in total contrast to the point of accepting people for what they believe.
As for the posts on the porch, I admit those came out of frustration. I have been a fan for a long time, and know a ton about the history of the band. And when I see obvious statements that are clearly wrong, or, statements that are totally based upon rumos (pj comic con? Get real) and also, seeing BBH and GLS, two users posting and bumping threads that are "count downs to a tour announcement" when, these posts are based upon nothing more than speculation, is painful. It's border line trolling.
When this happens, and I am right, I don't come gloating. I tried to share my opinion but was instantly told to fuck off. I read the forum every day and enjoy it, but was very disheartened by sharing how I feel in a thread about Bruce Jenner (a thread, which was also title Bruce Jenner WTF?????) that I thought was questioning the obsenity of the decision to change from a man into a woman - meaning I thought it wasn't a pro Jenner thread in the first place.

Pertinent to what else you said, JAG: From my perspective, I would say there's no need to apologize and I don't surely don't believe you meant to be offensive. As for the world being worse than many here would have us believe, I've often been criticized for insinuating the opposite. My opinion is that the world is like an extremely critical patient on it's last breath- as least in terms of being able to support large animal life (including humans) and if we're not careful, it could stay that way for a long, long time. But I also believe if we can harness the will to do so, we have it within our power to stop destroying our life support system. I'm not convinced we will, but my definition of hope says "do what makes sense no matter what the outcome".JUST A GIRL said:I know many won't be able to see things through my eyes, but trust me..

Yes, the press keeps this shit journalism alive. Even through the idea that everything is being recorded, everywhere. The media thrives on social media. I first saw it on sports center. Hey look what kobe bryant just tweeted. Then, local news, then the 6pm evening news started reading tweet and Facebook posts.
YouTube. The book that can be written on YouTube changing American journalism will win you a prize. It's a mockery of what journalism is supposed to be.

Ironically,On the way home last night from a concert with 3 others in my Vehicle.I blew by a cop doing 61 in a 50.(right as I peaked a hill he was there,I couldn't see him).He jumped right out and followed.I knew I was getting pulled over so I put on my blinker to let him know I was turning into a side street off the main road,turned on my interior lights,windows down and all my propers in my hand up on the wheel,music down(Pat Benetars Hell is for Children might I add).When he arrived I was polite,I asked him how much over speed limit I was and didn't deny it.I was doing wrong and I was willing to except my responsibility here.
He gave me a warning and told me to have a wonderful evening.We both respected each other and everyone just went on with there evening.Nice guy.
Point is if I was a dick I guarantee I get a ticket.0
