Schrodinger's Kittie

I don’t care how you slice it.

There is no way in hell that a naked man could over power three – count them THREE – grown men. Not only that, but these men had pepper spray as well. I guarantee you – that spray on the privates or in the eyes – or both, for fuck’s sake – would have completely incapacitated the man.

This man had no deadly weapons on him of any sort other than his own body. Not even a place to conceal one, unless he planned to shit out a gun/knife. What call did these officers have to shoot?

This is not a case of excessive force…this is a case of homicide…pure and simple. These officers were not in fear of their life. At most, they were worried about black eyes, broken noses and ripped uniforms.

I should sure as hell hope they are on administrative leave and I hope to all that’s holy that they stand trial for murder. It sure as hell wasn’t manslaughter. The NAKED man was shot several times…that’s not unintentional act of homicide…that’s a freaking “let me kill this dude” act of homicide. And there is no way in hell they could even begin to justify emotional duress…this is part of their JOB…to be cool in emotionally hot situations.

And if we can’t trust our officers with their guns…Shooting in self defense or when absolutely necessary I can fully support. Slaughtering a NAKED MAN? They better get more than a stupid slap on the wrist

Posted this to the Editor in Chief of the National Post of Canada, regarding this post.

I am astounded and dismayed to read such a false post on your paper. Was it slow for subscriptions? Did you need to post something sensational to boost sales? What reason could you possibly have to allow such an unfounded story to be posted? Why on this green earth would you want to have tensions between America and Canada escalated? What possibly possessed your writer to post something that is so completely NOT based in fact?

My family is from the South. Not just “the” South but the DEEP SOUTH. My family is in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. You can’t get much more Southern than my family is…and I can guarantee you, Dear Sir, this is NOT a valid article. The comments in it are nothing but pure sensationalistic journalism and it is a DISGRACE to you and your publication that you allowed such a slanderous and unfounded article to be posted.

Admittedly, this could be a yellow rag for all I know – but that post put my back up like you would not believe.
