Which is our point: the system brutalizes - further brutalizes - innocent victims without even giving a softer approach a chance. That's the procedure. But of course, to you they're not innocent. They're guilty of being unbalanced by torture.
She was unarmed and none too steady. Sure, I could see stunning her if she tried to run as vaguely acceptable. But not before talking to her without threatening her had been even tried. |

Also the victim has a PP of over 160. Ginoza mentions that 120 = compulsive and highly aggressive If that's what the readings translate to then what's wrong with them taking precautionary measures?

Debauchery: the ownership of a gun--to Western Europe; the recovery of honor in a duel--to modern Americans. One might almost say debauchery is the liberty we choose to give up in return for the government's guarantee of safety, but I'll take a more nuanced approach: America adopted its Bill of Rights in 1789, so Jefferson, in making his inaugural speech, would certainly be aware of which liberties were given up for effective enforcement of law by reading the 4th Amendment--which returns us to Benjamin Franklin's essential liberty. Which reminds me, you've yet to provide the source for your alleged Jefferson quote.

I have to say after really being hyped up on this show I found the first episode pretty underwhelming….First off they started with a very forgettable Op Theme that was set to basically the final scene from Cowboy Bebop where Spike stormed Viscious’ hideout (The first sequence with the main guy fighting near the staircase was eerily similar to me)…I also found the CG to be hit-or-miss with the Gun transformation being hit, but visuals like the paddy wagon and other vehicles and surroundings having that cheap “Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century” feel to it….
The basic story is OK, kinda like the rouge generals in One Piece where the government hires the best pirates to exact the law, in this case it’s “Psychos”…But I am very weary of the female main lead who seems rather dull and predictable after one episode…It still has enough there for something great, but as it stands I’m getting a strong Witch Hunter Robin (Looks good but dull as a doorboard) vibe from this show… I seriously hope I’m wrong because this was the one show I’d been waiting for…

@Anh_Minh You're assuming that the system is crazy because you're saying that it has no leeway for other measures when in fact it does if they are not to follow everything the gun says. So Masaoka obviously chose to paralyze her in this case but it doesn't rule out other options.

In your interpretation of liberty and debauchery you are now confusing liberty with a given right. and no, they are not the same before you try again to muddle them, for example the freedom of speech is a liberty, whether or not governments (present or past) all over the world give it to their citizens. |

I'm saying the system is crazy because it encourages blind adherence to the gun's instructions, which are unnecessarily brutal and escalates situations instead of calming things down.
It doesn't matter to me if it's a hard rule or just a guideline. It's crazy either way. |

Just as a reminder I'm not saying violence should never be used,I'm saying it shouldn't be the default option in all cases.Akane showed later that a non violent method could work.If Akane managed to make it work in what was a much more critical situation later on I don't see why she shouldn't have gotten to try in what was a less critical situation earlier on.

@totoum It's as simple as you don't really know what they are thinking and you don't know what possibly might happen so take the safe approach. Might sound ridiculous but remember... the victim has 160+ PP

So you justify the system on the basis that the gun is not an absolute rule and the cops can use their initiative, but you justify the cops not using their initiative and just listening to the gun on the basis of the gun's pronouncement.
I'll stand by what I said. As long as she didn't move, you have to be an idiot and an asshole to threaten her. Just shooting her before she can register the threat is vaguely better, but not by much. |
