Utah police killed more civilians.......

[JuliefromOhio]

.....than the criminals have.

1. Utah police officers have killed more civilians than gang members, drug dealers, or child abusers have over the past five years, according to a new report from the Salt Lake Tribune.

2. Use of deadly force by police is the second-most common circumstance in which Utahans killed each other over that time period. Only intimate partner violence killed more people.

3. But in 2014, more Utahans have died due to police use of deadly force than violence between spouses and dating partners.

They shouldn't be allowed to have guns...

They shouldn't be allowed to have guns...

they should be properly trained to protect and serve and find other ways to control perps instead of murdering them. the police are not supposed to be judge, jury and executioner. not in America anyway.

All I had to learn was that Ezra Klein is affiliated with Vox to dismiss it out of hand. If Vox is going to lie down with dogs they'll get up with fleas.

How much crime does Utah have is the first question you should ask yourself.

Personally I'd rather live in a state where I'm likelier to be killed by a cop than a gang banger. Anybody with a brain can understand why.

A more informative report would list how many civilians were killed by the police for no reason and how many were killed while being involved in some sort of a crime or suspicious activity which resulted in a killing.

Gotta just love that perverted little loo ny li bby "logic", sweetie.

"the police are not supposed to be judge, jury and executioner. not in America anyway."

Right.............

Because, hey, as we can all see from your words right here; "they should be properly trained to protect and serve and find other ways to control perps instead of murdering them.", the role of judge and jury obviously belongs to only self-professed, uber-enlightened dems/libs such as yourself, huh dear?

Where do YOU get off stating the police "MURDER" perps instead of trying to control them by whispering sweet nothings in their ears or perhaps threatening them with a time out if they are really out of control?

You DO realize that YOU, just like the police, have no right to label others as murders even IF you really, really, I mean REALLY want it to just be so, correct?

Don't you just hate it when others act like YOU do?

Julie, authoritarians are favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom. That is true of collectivists such as yourself who would not and have not ever invented anything like our Bill of Individual Rights.

I support those individual rights and that is why I'm against the collective's right to riot and loot the individual businesses (yes, they are reasonably categorized as persons). I'm for protecting the individual's rights over the collective's in this case. That makes me anti-authoritarian, baby.

P.S. I assume you call me authoritarian for being in favor of curfews for Ferguson.

I call you an authoritarian because that's what cons are. you bow to the govt police without exception and give them a pass for excessive use of force. police are not supposed to be judge, jury and executioner, but authoritarians like you don't mind that at all.

Uhhhhhhhhhh...............FAR be it from little 'ol ME to be the one to rain on your loo ny little li bby parade here sweetie, but I know of no one, (and suspect you can't name one either), who " bow to the govt police without exception and give them a pass for excessive use of force.", as you stated here.

Face it, when YOU refuse to accept ANY outcome of any and every investigation into a police involved shooting contrary to the outcome YOU "feel" should be reached, when YOU try to label anyone who actually accepts the outcome for what it is as being one who will " bow to the govt police without exception and give them a pass for excessive use of force.", when YOU refuse to accept any outcome other than the one YOU demand,..... when all of THAT happens, as it has right HERE, right NOW...........well..........sadly.........tis YOU assuming the role of judge, jury and executioner, dear.

Seems you just HATE it when you suspect other folks of trying to do something you yourself are busy doing, huh?

Fine, so I'm an authoritarian and you're an ass talker.

I wouldn't worry, they were probably not good Mormons and also needed killing.
