Gibo, rehctub,
At least we know there are some normal people still left.

Sorry Foxy but I am not with you on this one despite holding respect for many of your comments.

If your aware of libel then go for it. I just hate to see people loose everything.
Saying police murder is pretty full on even for someone who used used to flapping their gums without thinking.
Deary me and you wonder why we are concerned with these highly thin skinned unions drama queens.

Very well pop off now to another thread.
be sure to close the door on the way out.

Thanks for all of your comments.

They are greatly appreciated.

We will have to wait and see what the
coroner decides in the investigation
of what happened in this case.

Personally, I still feel that the training
of police officers needs to be re-examined.
Whatever the circumstances may have been,
I simply can't get my mind around the fact
that so many armed police officers couldn't
bring down or subdue a young troubled kid,
without having to kill him.

To me that says that something is very wrong
with the way these officers are being
trained.

If you think Gibo's in any way "normal", what does that say about you?

I think it is too early to comment about this matter, hence I did not however, to catch the last point Foxy made

their may be something wrong with the way police officers aqre being trained but

it is equally true to say there must be something wrong with the way this adolescent has been brought up.

before anyone criticises the cops, I would suggest we all remember, they are there to curtail the excesses of individuals who feel, unjustly, entitled to more than the quiet enjoyment of our public places.

and I find knife wielding, screaming adolescents something which is incompatible with my sense of personal safety.

Christians ARE a bit different CJMorgan.

They have usually had a sudden, sometimes dramatic, spiritual experience (becoming Born Again. Everyone has to become Born Again to enter Heaven ...John 3:3) that revealed to them that God truly DOES exist; and that Jesus is the Saviour.

Many, like myself, have gone on to experience an insight into the spirit war thats been raging in the airways above and around us(Ephesians chapter 6:12-18 re: the conflict).

Many see visions, many speak prophecies in the Holy Spirit, some raise the dead, others are used by God to heal, many many speak in tongues.
Yes...we are a different people.
Far happier than those trapped in the world.
Why not join us CJ?
Confess the sin and invite Jesus in. Get saved.

Dear Col,

I agree with you that screaming, knife-wielding
adolescents are disquieting, to say the least.

However, my point was that fully trained and
armed police officers should have been able to
deal with the situation in a more appropriate
manner. That's their job.
Instead of firing 10 bullets into the kid
and killing him.

If three armed (and fully trained) police officers
could not subdue one kid - there's something
dreadfully wrong with the system that provides
their training.
