Body camera shows as deputies were attempting to escort 82-year-old Anthony Goulding’s wife out of the home, Goulding began pouring gasoline on the carpet outside of a back bedroom.
Goulding’s right arm catches fire and then he throws a gas canister at the deputy. The flames grow larger.
Goulding passed away in the house fire, along with a dog.
“I think often times the judicial division gets kind of the label of it’s safe because we’re serving papers. There’s nothing safe about judicial. You are dealing with people’s emotions each and every day,” explained Sheriff Johnson III. “You’re taking someone’s home away. That’s their last stand like that. I can tell you the first time I bought my first piece of property, how proud I was to be a homeowner. That is the American dream. And [we]’re taking that away from somebody.”
God Bless the U.S.
Where we evict an 82 year old man and his parkinsons riddled wife he’s caring for.
While the Sherriff brags about how dangerous it is for his deputies to evict them.
Exactly how was that bragging?
He was saying he didn’t enjoy it. And that it was dangerous. Letting people know this isn’t something that he likes. Nor that it’s safe.
He’s just following orders!
Talk about a moronic view point.
There is no difference between a bad person and a good person doing a bad thing
I’m glad Plato is dead.
Not even a planet anymore.
I mean there is though right? A bad person will objectively continue to do bad things. A good person will do what they have to but try to change things for the better.
Take a serial killer a bad person right? and a cop that does what they can to serve the community but occasionaly has to do something like this. Are they the same person?
Or ohhh how about that guy that got arrested for the monkey torture ring and my grandma that throws a cigarette but put the window. No difference?
Those show varying levels of bad. A better example would be the difference between someone who tortures monkeys for fun and someone who tortures monkeys because it’s his job and he gets paid to do it.
Sure the difference is there but it isn’t big. I would say both are bad people. Being paid to do something doesn’t exempt you from fault imo.
I guess it depends on your varying levels of bad right? In your example you are saying cops are bad because they are doing the same thing as the bad people but getting paid for it so they are the same. In my mind 1% of what they do is shit sure. Having to evict elderly people. Arresting homless people for being homeless. Using unnecessary force on mentally unwell people. For just a very short list. What about the good they do? Crime deterence, taking drunk people of the road, responding to domestic disturbances, helping people figure out what is actually legal or not, serving and enforcing restraining orders.
Regardless of what i say i think we are just on opposing sides of this with differing opinions and that’s fine, i wish you the best
I see you’re under the delusion of a mythical “good cop” existing.
Ahahaha, so the answer is no cops since they are all bad? Live in a utopia where laws and rules are not enforced? And I’m delusional?
Sarcasm, what is it? 🤔
Dead.
I’m sorry, so many people say the same thing and mean it.
Fucking scum let his sick wife alone. Men shouldn’t exist!
/S made by the feminazi gang.
“I think often times the judicial division gets kind of the label of it’s safe because we’re serving papers. There’s nothing safe about judicial. You are dealing with people’s emotions each and every day,” explained Sheriff Johnson III.
The sheriff seems to care more about the safety of his deputies than the morality of dragging elderly people out of their home.
He does acknowledge that they are ousting someone from their home. But it is only brought up to reinforce the statement about safety.
“You’re taking someone’s home away. That’s their last stand like that. I can tell you the first time I bought my first piece of property, how proud I was to be a homeowner. That is the American dream. And you’re taking that away from somebody. You talk about a world of emotion. [I’m] extremely proud of our deputies because we really go above and beyond to try to help our citizens along the way.”

If they cared about morality they wouldnt be cops.
you know maybe the gun humpers are right. If enough people shoot the eviction officers they will eventually run out of eviction officers
Maybe the eviction officers will be armed too and shoot first next time.
Fuck landlords
Down votes on the above are brought to you by landlords.
Such a shame, apparently he was still young enough to be president too
Evictions are violence. All landlords and cops are bastards.
Guess my local news in Oklahoma decided to report on this. This shit crap fuck cops ACAB all the way.

That’s a blanket statement…
Yup, by the Socratic transitive law of equality, if mastengwee says that everyone who makes generalizations is a bastard, and mastengwee’s statement was a generalization in itself, then mastengwee just called himself a bastard.
Damn. He nullified his own parents’ marriage.
It’s not a blanket statement dumbass. It’s very pointed and specific.

No one said all people. Op said cops and landlords. Two positions that commit violence on innocent people as part of their job description. To be a cop or a landlord is to be a bastard. It’s inherent to the professions.

Yes?

If only we empowered our citizens instead of disparaging and monitizing them in an effort to build more yachts.
The video in the article is sad. Potentially NSFW.
Hardcore serious martyr
Very sad and an unnecessary death - he should’ve only set fire to the house instead. In fact, anyone getting evicted should do that.

That’s the most fucked up part.
I’m at a point in my radicalization where I only care about the suffering of small children and animals.
Half the time I don’t even care about the small children.
Humanity is a plague that desperately needs dealt with.
So what is your solution? Annihilation? I think it’s blind to see humanity as doomed
My solution is unfeasible. Because humans are fallible primitive creatures who refuse to acknowledge their shortcomings.
My solution is that we all be fuckin better. We understand that it’s us vs nature. That no amount of person on person conflict will ever elevate us further than our already pitiful existence.
Start with yourself, champ.
HAHAHAHAHA THIS IS SO FUNNY AND ORIGINAL!
Sorry I can recognize that all of the worlds problems stem from humanities failures.

Outside of natural disasters like earthquakes/hurricanes/tornadoes name one ecological disaster that’s not directly affected by human interference.
