Portland officer suspended after shooting girl, 12, with beanbag gun

[TietLung]

The only bones they mught break are your fingers. Maybe, just maybe, if youre weak as hell and have ostio, crack a rib. Other than that its like getting punched by a midget.

[MrYERMAMMY]

@ 11tez11 No they dont you idiot they break bones and are used to stop high value prisoners from escaping! So i dont know why they shot a kid with one , stupid americans

[fear614]

@MrYERMAMMY In actual fact bean bags are a non-lethal alternative to crowd control and are often used as a means of ending situations without using lethal approaches. They fall in the same category as mace and tazers. They rarely break bones and given the size of the suspect I doubt much harm was endured...if any at all. Don't fight with the police and it won't be a problem. As for you, get a credible source before you make things up concerning procedure and equipment.

i know the officer what they failed to mention is she wieghed almost 200 lbs and was in a known gang goes to show what the media does

[11tez11]

[11tez11]

its only like getting hit with a ruler hard bur it has more pushing force they will get over it.

She resisted and tried to leave. Don't totally agree with the cops actions but if she had just complied she wouldn't have got shot.

[PrinceNwerem]

Where can one buy a gun? Blacks need guns to protect themselves from racist cops. You dig?

[DrunkyMcLushLives]

@PrinceNwerem There's nothing racist about a cop bean bagging someone who takes a swing at them. This girl was on the MAX exclusion list and they were taking her into custody for trespassing. She swung and got shot. So your racist card can't be played on this one. Sorry.

[Opaltom]

@PrinceNwerem maybe mexico ?

[Crich775]

@PrinceNwerem No, I don't "Dig", Your just another idiot who thinks anything and everything has to be racist.

[boogysplit]

this happened right down the street from where i live, guess what scares me in this neighborhood and city....the cops.

[craigery83]

@boogysplit : shouldn't unless you are a criminal

[boogysplit]

@craigery83 Tell that to Arron Campbell.....oh wait, you can't, the cops shot him in the back and killed him. He was unarmed, and walking backwards with his hands on his head. His crime? nothing, he was distraught about his brothers death that day and needed medical attention.

[boogysplit]

@craigery83 then there was James Chasse...beat to death by the same cop who shot this girl. Chasses' crime? He urinated on the sidewalk.

[craigery83]

@boogysplit : Portland police are the most professional agency in the northwest. The only reason you have to fear them is if you are involved in criminal behavior.  You don't understand that the police have to protect themselves first, but they also have a duty to act. Which means they just can't go away if something is happening. Chasse resisted and so did the girl, end

[boogysplit]

@craigery83 dude, I live here in Portland! You don't have to be involved in a crime to get trouble from the police here...they can and sometimes do harass innocent people...if you knew anything about the lack of professionalism of the law enforcement here, you wouldn't be avoiding the fact that Chasse died, and for what? Pissing on the sidewalk?? There were witnesses to vouch for that. Rosie Sizer was also fired because of constant problems from the police....

[boogysplit]

@craigery83 The only reason I could see anyone defending the murderous gestapo actions of the police here is either you are one, or related to one. How about the wife and her friends that were murdered by her cop husband at M&Ms? How about Aaron Campbell? He wasnt resisting, and he got a bullet to the back! Real professional.

[boogysplit]

@craigery83 And then you have a vid of the bangup job the Portland police did driving in a little bit of snow with no chains posted on your page! Professionals!!!!

[craigery83]

@boogysplit : wow you have some issues, it's obvious you've had run in(s) with the police? There's usually a reason why, even though you might think pissing in the street is ok. I've lived in Portland my whole life, when did you move here from San Francisco or Seattle?

[boogysplit]

@craigery83 been here nearly 25 years now from OKC, and I have had no issues with breaking the law in either state. I am a father of 3 and a career printer..never been arrested. But if you are denying the racism and continue to avoid the facts of brutality against the people of this state by its police, then you are the one who has issues...I don't think pissing in the street is something anyone should do, but it is certainly not an action punishable by death!

[boogysplit]

@craigery83 I also happen to know that it doesn't take a shotgun to deal with a 12 year old girl! My teenage son has pulled a few stunts, but I have not and will not at any time for any reason need a shotgun to deal with my children or any child. The cop, officer Nice is it? What was he, in his 40s, ranging around 250lbs? Cant handle a 12 year old girl without a shotgun? Give me a break.

[boogysplit]

@craigery83 and again you avoid the fact about Campell!!!

[craigery83]

Not avoiding it, I just prefer not to comment out of my ass. You were not there, and I doubt you've even read the reports. You hate the police, I get it. Call First Response when you get your house broken into, see what happens

[boogysplit]

@craigery83 you avoid it because its the truth and you know it..I dont hate the police at all, but I think the ones doing things like this should be held accountable. And up until recently, they haven't been, therefore making it a scary thought that someone can just go out with his own form of justice and blame it on his job when he screws up.

[boogysplit]

@craigery83 BTW, this girl, was 12 years old!!

[DarknessUnresolved]

Start shooting cops! DEFEND yourselves!
