[QUOTE]Originally posted by fr5.0: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by 90gtvert: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by kingroy: [qb] This thread has made some progress and CAFORDS has made some progress. It's a 7 page thread and it hasn't been moved to street racing. The opposes are running out of arguments and its just down to "race". I think, both sides are right. I believe the cop didn't mean to shot this guy and I believe if he was white he still would be alive. Question to ask yourself If it was a white guy would the cop have pulled his gun out? I've seen people have guns drawn on them by cops from street racing. quick story: I'm racing another guy in Oakland on Hegenber back in 2001 and a cop catches us at the light. pulls between both of us, 1 cop pulls a gun on the 5.0 I was racing and the other cop let me go. Then later caught me at the next light. Now the cop that pulled his gun out on the 5.0 could've accidentally shot the driver. Case and point, the officer may not have intended on shooting Oscar Brown but he did intend on pulling his gun out. It's just tragic that it had to go off. I'm not a racist and I don't believe in the race card, deuces are always wild in my deck and race will never be an excuses for any of my past, present or future misfortunes [/qb][/QUOTE]I will agree with most of what is said here, but once again I go back to personal experiences with cops. I am white. I have had police pull a gun on me 3 times. 1. Cops thought I was running from them on my motorcycle (long story, I wasnt, but they didnt know that. Got off with a speeding ticket thanks to one of the officers who actually saw what happened). 2. Drunken fight when I was younger. 3. Felony stop, my car at the time matched the description of a bank robbery suspect at the Bank of America in Livermore So from personal experience. Yes, if the kid was white I fully believe that the same thing would have happened. Mike [/qb][/QUOTE]black or white he would still be dead. the fact is the cop was a rookie! i realy had some respect for n8's comment a few pages back about triger control, that seems very plausible especially to me a gun owner and lover. look, every one in that place was surprised including the shooter when that gun went off. i would have loved to see this thread be an intelligent one, but man [b]we are way past that now![/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
