No, I don't live to watch reruns of the Roseanne show and it certainly isn't the "end all, be all" of my life. I'm glad that you find the show so entertaining and that you can glean some sort of anecdotal reference from it. You might also try reruns of "I Love Lucy" and "My Favorite Martian" to increase your knowledge base. With all those fun little tidbits, you might become the life of the party.
Again, You have no idea what you're talking about. You really make me tired of saying that exact sentence but as they say, whataya gonna do? I have toured our local 911 call center with the cub scouts countless times and guess who is answering the phones in that call center? That's right, uniformed officers. So whereas some call centers may only have non-uniformed officers manning their call centers, it is not out of the question that some do have uniformed officers working those phones. In the case of Zimmerman, you have no idea what you're talking about. You sure make ignorance an art. If you have proof that the 911 operator wasn't a uniformed officer, prove it and stop making nonsense blanket statements.
You whole post boils down to the fact that you have no proof. The country I live in says you must have proof. If that proof exists, I hope your desires come to fruition. Until then, the rules I live under is that you are innocent until PROVEN guilty - and it even takes some kind of proof to be arrested. Now, if you feel those rules are too restrictive, there are procedures to change them. However, I hope you never succeed in doing so.
So because you cannot show me anything that says an operator can give an order, I am supposed to prove a negative? Taint goin' to happen. Try showing me anywhere where is says an operator can tell anyone not to walk on the grass.
The City of Evanston will be tweeting almost all the emergency calls received by the city's 911 call center today between 3 and 11 PM (calls involving domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse will be omitted). The "virtual ride-along" is intended to be an education event to give citizens a look at what goes on in a typical Friday evening for the Evanston police; you can follow it on their Twitter feed. Based on what I've seen online about 911 calls, I'm not sure what to expect.
What I was saying and you tried to misdirect is that police do in fact man police 911 call centers in some cases but since you were proven wrong again you found the need to try and misdirect what I was saying. I didn't even mention an operator giving orders but you know that. This is why we mostly ignore you. You are not worth the keystrokes to bother with. View attachment 403
How interesting. You quote my post and underline the following line; Yet somehow you were not talking about 911 operators giving orders. If you say so. I guess you just forgot the topic you were trying to talk about.
THAT'S better! See? You don't have to be an insulting dullard (in a childish manner) ALL the time! Way to expand your horizons! Since you seem so concerned with the potential attention I may be getting with my comments about Roseanne...... , maybe this sudden leap in expressive abilities of yours will lead to a happy ending for you. At least you could entertain yourself if you ever succeed at becoming a master debater. Yes, I went there.
How is my opinion on a forum law? If you don't want to come to any conclusions before the case is settled then don't! Just don't say anything then, because you have no opinion other than you have no opinion!
HUH? Where did I say anything about you opinion having anything to do with a law. Quite the opposite, in fact. Since it violates the constitution, it really has nothing to do with a law. BTW, do you realize how far you have changed from you initial post? There is was all "he did", "he had", etc. Now it is "my conclusion", "my opinion", etc. Your opinions may will turn out to be correct. However, until they have some kind of proof, Zimmerman cannot be punished for anything based on your, moen's, Sharpton's, or anyone else's opinion.
Well, well, well... it appears that you HAVE expanded your television viewing! Where did you come up with these little chestnut comments? Cheers? Miami Vice? Maude, perhaps? Go back to watching Roseanne. It suits you better.
The question here is not one of "can anyone be punished" but should the man with the gun have been taken into police custody until the facts of the case were fully reviewed. All the chatter about who did/said/etc is simply conjecture on all sides. We are not a court of law you can express a opinion the proof or lack of such remains in the juristriction of the Law enforcement agencies
No I also underlined the part where you said that 911 operators are not the police and then specifically addressed your comment about it. Apparently it didn't fit your personal agenda of defending a guy who shot and killed a child so you ignored the obviousness of the intent of my post. You RW'er simply hate facts being thrown into the conversation which is why those of us on the Left usually just ignore you. It is just like Santorum saying both that old people are euthanized in the Netherlands against their will and that the UC higher education system doesn't teach American history because he read it somewhere. Yeah he certainly did read it somewhere but that doesn't make it true. Reading RW literature is just like being spoon-fed lies and going out into public and repeating those lies makes you look stupid and of course that is an accurate portrayal because it is true. Keep defending the guy that murdered an unarmed child. It makes you look just like Santorum.
I cannot find the requirements to be a 911 operator in Florida, but according to the BLS (and in Oklahoma), these are the requirements. Note the work experience required. If your area requires police to be the operator, more power to them. Most of us do not. And, regardless of the requirements in your area, I still see no evidence that a 911 operator, policeman or not, can give "official orders".
As a liberal who supposedly believes in civil liberties, one would think that you'd be the first to jump on the "He is innocent until proven guilty" bandwagon. We have courts of law in this country, you know, that will determine his guilt or innocence. Please don't be a lemming and side yourself with the Court of Public Opinion. It's as if you want to lynch this man. Have you ever read "The Ox-Bow Incident"?
I change my words because you don't understand them. Don't understand that? I know. I'll re-word that for you: You fail are unable to understand why. Do you realize that? No? Of course not. Understand yet? Nope? Oh well. Time will tell whether or not charges against the murdering weasel will be brought in this case, but it's interesting to note he now has two lawyers working for him. I know when I'm innocent of any possible wrongdoing I hire two lawyers to represent me. I wouldn't talk about the incident either if I thought I may be held responsible for killing a kid... like THAT is ever a crime or anything!
And all this childishness from you relates to the thread in what way? Are you going to write anything relevant to the subject or are you just going to continue to write childish bs and direct it at me?
MISS!!! I actually have an opinion on whether or not the shooter is guilty. He doesn't. Like a true Republican, he's waiting for someone to tell him the outcome before he jumps on board and states his own. The answer is still Romney by the way. Ready to jump yet? Or are you still waiting for people to tell you to.
