    I started the thread and said what I intended to say. If you don't want me in the conversation, don't address me. :laugh:

    Not a thing. There are points to be made in the video but as usual Zaac is going to torpedo this whole discussion by trying to make the situation a referendum.

    So the majority of the crowd crashed a party they were not invited too then got out of hand and instead of accepting personal responsibility they want to deflect from their own behavior and work to find something wrong with the cops.

    When to full grown young men rush a cop like they did in the video they better expect the cop to pull his weapon even if they do not have one. Good for the cop.

    Also, the cop being placed on admin leave is procedure and not an admission that there is anything to the accusations.

    Yup. Too bad.

    Looks like you and Don, as usual, are the voices of reason. We will all continue to pray for Zaac.

    Well, he for sure can't tell you why it is a terrorist act. Other an attempt to degrade and speak bad about the police in our country, we will have to wait and see what he classifies as a terrorist. As a former law enforcement person, I have had enough of his attempts to debase, dishonor, disgrace and portray the men and women of law enforcement in a negative light. They are not, by any means, terrorists. Maybe Zaac should spend a day in ISIS controlled areas of the world, and he may see that his views are totally repugnant. I would like to point out that many of our law enforcement officials are born-again believers trying to protect us from bad people! And they are doing a pretty good job!!

    I find it hard to believe that this board permits this kind of name calling and trash talk to go on about people who place their life on the line with every call they answer!

    How did a thread about a cop's extreme use of violence turn into a defense of law enforcement?

    And on a side note: What other word besides "terroristic" could be used to describe an act that instills extreme fear in an individual?

    The word extreme is highly overused.

    Zaac, I didn't see any pressure cooker bombs, nor any planes hitting buildings, nor suicide bomber vests, nor any audio of the cop shouting "aloha snackbar".

    So, no...not a terrorist. You fail a sensationalism. Try again.

    Terrorism is an act of violence intended to further an agenda, usually political. Hamas is a terrorist organization because they commit acts intended to draw attention to themselves for political gain.

    If you can show us the agenda of the police that their "acts of terror" support, we could discuss that. And remember, you have to show that a group of, or all police are involved with that agenda, not just individuals.

    Until then, I believe the word(s) you're looking for are:
    Atrocity
    Brutality
    Cruelty
    Ferocity
    Malicious
    Sadistic
    Savage
    Vicious

    But terroristic? Nah; that's just hyperbole and sensationalism.

    See Zaac. This is why your threads fail. You've got people debating the definition of the term terrorist now while the actual topic is left in the dust. This is a perfect example of your self defeating behavior.

    Well if the definition of "terror" is a high level of fear (which I'm sure that's what the cop instilled in the teenagers...especially the one he brutally manhandled), it's not too far fetched to call an act terroristic. However, I do like your list of terms because what that officer did what very atrocious, brutal, cruel, ferocious, malicious, and sadistic. He was most definitely being a vicious savage.

    It is obvious that liberalism makes people incoherent and or insane.

    Except that if you look up the definition of "terroristic," it's associated with those who participate in terrorism. The "ism" (or "istic") part of the word denotes a person who practices or is concerned with something; or holds certain principles, doctrines, etc.

    Thus, in order to accurately use the term "terroristic," one must show that a certain practice and/or beliefs are involved.

    Fort Hood Texas was terroristic; all we know for sure here is that a cop appears excessive in performance of his duties.
    Not sure I'd go that far; I'd expect to see blood if it were truly vicious and/or savage.

    The use of the word terrorist in matters like this are exaggerated and over the top rhetoric, used by extremists, for a political purpose in order to demonize those they disagree with and to gain sympathy for their purely political cause. It has no foundation in reality, it makes those who use it foolish and not credible. It only has an ultimate purpose of dividing people and beating down political opponents. It is the ultimate example of dishonesty.
