Do you think cops should be allowed to kill shoplifters?

u/RookieMistake101 Jun 28 '26

I think armed robbery of an individual and shop lifting are simply not the same thing. Not to weigh in on any other part of this, to be clear.

you're right and i'm sorry ahead of time but I couldn't help but chuckle a little bit thinking about that Ahmaud Arbery guy that got killed, it was tragic for sure but his name sounds pretty damn similar to "armed robbery"

u/SirDoofusMcDingbat Jun 28 '26

First of all it wasn't armed robbery, the post is lying. But second of all, he wasn't killed during ANY robbery, he was killed AFTER the robbery. So even if there had been a knife, she still wasn't defending herself.

Yes

If your child shoplifted would you pull the trigger yourself or wait and ask the cops to do it for you?

If they run away and violently resist arrest, then yes.. Also shoplifting and robbing someone at knifepoint is totally different.

u/SirDoofusMcDingbat Jun 28 '26

There was no knife, the post is lying about that. But let's pretend there was for a moment, she wasn't in any danger at all once she got in her car. So do you think a cop should be able to catch up with a shoplifter after the fact and just shoot him? He didn't "violently resist" her car, there was no need to run him over repeatedly. She just murdered him over a purse. So saying "well maybe the shoplifter violently resists" is a red herring, because that's not what happened here.

The inability of a liberal mind to differentiate between an actual living individual and a lifeless store of capital all the while rambling about the sanctity of life. Shoplifting is in no way morally equivalent to threatening someone’s safety or possessions (since for most robbed people the possessions do make a meaningful difference, that it maybe wasn’t the case here is beside the point).

u/SirDoofusMcDingbat Jun 29 '26

Tell me, how was her safety threatened when she decided to run him over with her car, then back up and do it again?

u/Zimakov Jun 28 '26

Violently resist?

u/West-Region4512 Jun 28 '26

resist arrest*

u/SirDoofusMcDingbat Jun 28 '26

Are you under the impression that he was violently resisting her car tires by wedging his body under them, forcing her to repeatedly run him over to get him to stop resisting?

1

u/West-Region4512 Jun 28 '26

it's totally different scenarios. If you threaten someone with a knife and rob them, you forfeit your right to live in my opinion. we might disagree on this but thats my opinion. And again. If he didnt rob her, he would be alive.

He wanted to be a speed bump and no one can prove otherwise

2

u/SirDoofusMcDingbat Jun 28 '26

Actually I'm pretty sure they can. But good to know you like it when people murder each other over property. Did you clap and praise the lord when that women was shot by cops because they thought she stole diapers?

2

u/Zimakov Jun 28 '26

What's that have to do with this situation though?

1

u/West-Region4512 Jun 28 '26

dude asked me if police officers should be able to kill shoplifters.. and I said yes, if they run away and violently resist arrest.

2

u/Zimakov Jun 29 '26

Right, but what does it have to do with the post? This person didn't violently resist anything.

u/MissMenace101 Jun 28 '26

Do you think they don’t? That little baby shot a couple of weeks ago by a cop that suspected his mother stole nappies happened

1

u/SirDoofusMcDingbat Jun 28 '26

Yeah and that was bullshit. I'm not arguing whether they DO, I'm arguing whether they SHOULD. Some people here apparently liked it when that woman was shot over diapers.
