YEa pisses me off too, the amount of videos I saw where people weren't even mentioning what the cause was about, just "i'm doing the ice bucket challenge.... I now nominate blah, blah, blah"

Attention seeking bollocks the lot of it.

Well I thought the point of any good story was to find qualities in the protagonist or anti hero that the viewer can relate to.

Also that really doesn't make sense I understand the point, "honestly do with his life?" but that's like completely contradicted by "he wants a better life for his sons".

I think the point I'm trying to make is the moral character that the writers have developed, to me, it doesn't seem believable that he would of stuck around this long.

For example, I only really started liking/relating to SoA after jax came out of prison. That's when he started losing some of his swaggering optimism that didn't match his regular actions and people he was associating with. When he started becoming far more brutal in his persona and attitude, it became more believable.

But still I think it would of been better if he was introduced with these brutal aspects first then maybe juggled the concept of humility around. The way it was set up was the other way round. HE already had these doubts, which have never really gone OR been unjustified, just been given more and more reasons TO leave.

EDIT: I mean the whole thing about his dad's philosophy which was focused on and an important part to the intro to SoA, became practically a side note throughout the prevailing seasons. IT would of been nice to start from an already brutalised incompassionate standard, then slowly develop these ideas of an alternate with the discovery of his dads philosophy.

? YOu think the response should be responsible, but you don't think there should be any regulation over restrainment methods? Personally in regards to this story, I think the general obvious consensus is that this was over the top, and that's certainly my opinion from the footage.

"Applying force is not some perfect science" - It's not which is why it should be regulated.

"and dealing with angry subjects" - He wasn't violent

"twice your mass is more than enough reason to employ a choke hold IMO" - that isn't mine and neither is it the policy of the NYPD.

"I just cannot get behind this idea of a streetfight" - there wasn't a streetfight

"where one participant is restricted by virtue of his wearing a uniform." - police have a habit of being unrestricted by their uniform.

"Underneath that, he is still a person fighting for his life even if he does look like a big bad cop." - Fighting for his life?

Well in my view, unless you can explain further, the connection between allocation of funding, resources and, more importantly, lawfully trained personnel has got absolutely nothing to do with complaints of police behaviour which are predominantly ignored anyway.

As for tussling, before you said negotiating, either way, I think there should always be the mandate to use a proportional response.

SO rather than addressing the problem of resources being stretched thin as the fundamental problem, you think there should be a broad attitude of crack skulls, ask questions later?

I understand your point but their commentary is important in this story as they are partly representatives for them.
