Police slaughter 91-year-old woman
« on: November 22, 2006, 09:45:46 am »

In a bloody shoot out, the police shot and killed poor old 91-year old grandmother.  The police burst into her house in a case of mistaken identity, and gunned down the lady.  This is one of the most horrific cases of police brutality ever seen, considering her age. 


Of course, the lady shot first, injuring both cops.... don't you love slant?

As the plainclothes Atlanta police officers approached the house about 7 p.m., a woman inside started shooting, striking each of them, said Officer Joe Cobb, a police spokesman.
She shot before they were even there...?
Interesting twist.

Old people can commit crimes too.  So, if she shot first...uhm, both of their bads.
The cops, I spose, went in thinking it was who they were looking for (seeing as how they'd be shot already & all) so they shot her because she knew she was a deadly threat to them.

Honestly, maybe her bad more so than the cops'.

Yeah, you don't shoot old people because they're not dangerous, but when that condition falls through, so does the rule.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Old crazy ass woman shot 3 cops with a shotgun...hmm, wow.  Slaughter is the wrong word, "served justice" or "self defense" sounds a little better.

Yes, I agree with craz3d, "slaughter" is completely incorrect. If you shoot at the police you're going to get shot back; the woman was a moron.

What's also interesting is a quote from the CNN article:
Quote
Of the police brutality cases we've had, this is the most egregious because of the woman's age. (Rev. Markel Hutchins)

Isn't it the younger the person the more tragic...?

Whether or not this is true, the reverend is also a moron. It's not police brutality; it's justice, order, cause and effect -- whatever you want to call it -- but the consequence was deserved and necessary.

Just to save myself, in case anybody didn't notice, I was putting a stupid slant on the article. :P

That's why CNN fucking sucks more than every other news outlet.  They all use words like that to make people think some horrible injustice has occurred and that the people should rise up and rebel, or something.  But then, I guess that's what journalism really is.  Nobody would pay attention to news if it was "A 91 year old woman, after shooting cops, was gunned down in her home."  I mean, that's almost like.. telling the truth!  Journalism isn't about the truth!

Ya see, Deadly.. If you cause a riot, you have something to cover the next day on the news.And what fun is plain ol' black and white journalism, Mix it up, add some yellow journalism.

How you doing grandma?


Oh fine, except I got arthritis in my trigger finger. That beat down the police gave me didn't slow me down a bit!

Was posting the wrong age part of the slant too? iago shouldn't be allowed to post news anymore. ;)

Anyway, people are making a mountain out a mole hill. They announced themselves, she shot them anyway. It's her fault. If somebody was shooting me, I don't care who they are - I'm going to shoot to kill. Plus look at her, regardless of her age she's living in the ghetto where drugs are rabid anyway. It was probably her son or daughters boyfriend who they were after and she was just 'protecting' against da white man 5-0.

Yeah, I was off by a year.  Go away.  :P

I agree.

I disagree -- living in the ghetto doesn't mean it's ok for the police to shoot you.

I like how you come out and make comments like this when you obviously haven't even read the article.

Oh, yes, because you know me SOO WELL and you're SOOO smart that you can even figure out what I was talking about.  Also, for your information, I did read the article - just not the one on CNN.  So go bite it.
