I like how the TC just pisses and moans about "political correctness" and ignores things like context. Like how the article he references talks about how the particular school in question has a bit of a problem with racial tensions. One can easily infer that the kids wearing American flag t-shirts were looking to start shit.
But I guess things like "details" don't actually matter.
You could send the ACLU a letter, though. I'm sure they'd be happy to take up this case. As it is, the court simply decided it wasn't worth their time.
Why are police so bad in these kinds of engagements? I know for a fact that the police have other means of arsenal besides guns. Even if he was attacking the police (which I highly doubt...6 shots in the back), using a gun should be a last resort in that kind of situation.
even if they had to use their gun, a shot to the leg would have put the guy down.
Police aren't allowed to do that. If they point a gun at you, they are going to shoot to kill. If they aren't intending to use lethal force, they aren't going to use lethal weapons.
The issue of police using excessive force is a very real issue, as recent events have highlighted. But this is just as much of a fallacy.
Why the **** is there ANOTHER thread on this topic? So pathetic.
Seriously. Can we all go back to playing games and waiting for the 800M series? OP is a sexist retard and this whole "video games and the gaming community is misogynistic" argument is really stupid. Rarely do I ever see anyone in a game harass a girl simply for being a girl. In fact, it's usually the opposite. On most servers, guys have treated the girl there better than anyone else while giving subtle hints that they like her and even giving her free in-game "currency". Is that biased? Somewhat. Does it matter? No. It's a first world problem at most. I do agree that some games are misogynist, depicting women as "sex objects" in bikinis, catering to men in games like Metro: Last Light. But in a lot of games, the woman will simply look attractive and still be an independent woman who is not stereotypical. And there is a male equivalent of that attractive woman, an attractive muscular dude with abs. But if the majority of men or women in a game aren't just there as background or "eye candy" then why does it matter?
Oh hey, look, a reasonable comment that isn't full of hyperbole, demonization, or a one-sided look at a complex subject.
So a game portrays the criminal underground, where sexism is rampant
is said game supposed to sugar coat sexism or censor it according to you?
edit: I just that in the OP I forgot to type an entire sentence, right after I talk about sexism and how I think it's ok if needed I talk about sexualizing characters and why i think that's perfectly acceptable as well.
Sure is a nice example that has nothing to do with anything you said in the OP. Nice job putting words in my mouth, though.
I find that with the anti-"sjw" side, it's less a matter of contributing an alternate view to a dialogue so much as screaming that you don't want a dialogue to take place at all.
