Having a Facebook argument about Officer Darren Wilson....I know, I know.

[Airpig]

So here I am defending Officer Wilson yet again on Facebook (which is a losing battle I know with anyone refuting his innocence) this kid Carlos Djodjy Silva says in passing that Wilson shot Brown in the back and didn't need to fire but a couple of shots "If you've been in combat before then you know what happens when people get shot. They just die and fall, its not like in the movies where they keep coming and you have to empty the whole clip at them"

Really? Is this becoming an epidemic of retardation?
I'm almost crying inside for these people really have no clue what cops endure.

Don't get into a ****ing contest with someone who doesn't care about the facts -- and a lot of people, even seemingly normal and educated people - don't care about the facts. Hell, the Pres and the AG don't care about the facts, so what makes you think any other detractors do? Stay off FB; your blood pressure will thank you.

just joe is absolutely right. Godspeed to Officer Wilson!

If you've been in combat you'd call them magazines and not clips.

I was going to reply to him but Explaining to him what he difference between a clip and mag was just not worth it. Let him call it a clip for it differentiates him from actual shooters.

This is the best advice you can take.

You could tell him that in 2010, there were 31,076 gunshot fatalities. There were also 71,505 non-fatal gunshot injuries. So nonfatal gunshots outnumber fatal gunshots by 2.365/1 - so the hypothesis of getting shot people "just falling and dying" is statistically false. Besides the whole fact that he is just a moron.

I've known people who were shot (accidentally) and drove themselves to the ER. (shrug)

You can't argue successfully with an irrational person. Any information you provide doesn't compute with these types of people. Many of these types "feel" instead of "reason" so it is up to you to believe if you are wasting your time or not.

I had a guy walk up to me very casually and tell me he was shot. I almost wrote him off as EDP, but I said "where?" He lifted up his shirt and had 2 bullet holes in his gut. He actually took me inside his apartment and gave me a play-by-play rundown/reenactment of what happened while we waited for EMS. Go figure.

One of the many reasons why I will never have a FB.
