MY FRIEND RACIALLY PROFILED AND SHOT BY COPS

[SPAM]

What is truly disturbing is the way this guy's associates are trying to minimize what he's done. Moral bankruptcy par excellence! This guy rode drunk, took police on a high-speed chase that endangered the public and then fought with police. I don't want to hear about how he's such a nice guy and a good friend. Don't make me puke. This guy displayed the worst kind of criminal behaviour and showed total disregard for the safety of others. He deserves condemnation, not praise.

We foreigners should stick together and have empathy for each other. After all he's my good friend. He's a nice guy just made a small mistake it all.

Your mate Tony, probably thought with his size he could bring MMA style to a gun fight.

I guess he lost.

[KTVDRIVER]

I have it on good authority that the KTV Driver did it...

Oh, no you don't! Don't you try to pin this one on me too, you prick!

[MAOMAN]

Tony why is it that you have so many expat friends into drugs, killers on the lam who flee jail time, not once but twice, scam artists who sell their passports to convicted criminals so they can avoid jail, alcoholics and shysters who rip off people in TV streaming scams. Can't you choose to associate with better people? After all you are a self proclaimed community leader right?

I've been here a long time so I guess I must know a lot of the expats who are here. I choose my friends carefully as you can see.

[MAOMAN]

LOL. I'm wondering when there will be an outcry from the usual suspects about how we are not being compassionate enough to the criminal? Maybe he can make like a Dean and flee!

U MAD BRO?

Just got back from the hospital. The accused, identified in the media as 馬哲漢 (Mǎ Zhéhàn), is in reasonable condition, all things considered. To say he is remorseful is an understatement. He knows he made a massive error in judgment and has written a very heartfelt letter of apology. How the rest pans out remains to be seen.

I make no excuses for my friend's behaviour on Saturday night. But he is my friend, a good one, so I'm going to be in his corner for the duration. His friends will have a meeting tomorrow night at 7:30 to talk about his situation. If you're one of them, please feel free to PM me for details.

Hey that's great his friends, like Zane Deans friends, will get together and hatch a plan for his situation. Will that mean asking someone to sell him a passport in case he needs a quick getaway? I can do some pretty wicked make up. I've had plenty of time in the cells practicing.

It really sucks for a genuinely good guy like this to get himself into this kind of trouble. I'll wait for more details before judging him. A really good friend to those who know him. He has flaws but none of us are perfect.

Genuinely good guys don't do this shit. It takes one who thinks he is above the law to do this kind of thing. Stats on drunk drivers show that they have been driving drunk approximately 80 times before they get caught. I guess he will plead it was his first time if he was doing so. A really genuine person stops and takes the penalty that comes with drunk driving if that's the case. You don't risk a chase at speed through the streets risking not only your own but other peoples lives, have an accident, and then assault the police who are trying to prevent you from fleeing, which seems to be the case.

I hope his leg is OK. I really feel a lot of empathy for that poor policeman doing his job, who must feel really distraught he had to draw and fire his weapon. He will be probably need counselling for months to come to get over his grief of having shot someone.

I had a feeling this would be among one of the first comments. Completely inaccurate and unhelpful and illustrates perfectly how this will be looked upon in Taiwan. (In most US jursidictions he would have been tasered. Use of a sidearm is always considered potentially deadly force and is only authorised to protect life. Of course what the police write up in their reports in another thing. But incidence rate of US cops shooting obviously unarmed civilians who could have been easily arrested is not particularly high. Beating the shite out of people, yes. Shooting failures to stop for the heck of it. Rare.)

This is a problem that all non-Americans need to be aware of. The first thing the cops here will say in response to "WTF did you shoot me for?" is that "oh, well American cops would have shot you too so it's OK".

Obviously, given the radio traffic about "helping Taiwanese out" and the readiness to open fire on an unarmed suspect, PC Micro Penis was determined to shoot a foreigner that evening. Sadly, because the victim is a foreigner, one of the justifications will be that police in the US are out of control too, so it's OK for the Taiwanese police to shoot foreigners, especially ones from the US.

Needless to say if it had been a Taiwanese being chased (as happens every single night without gunfire) there would have been no shooting, as of course the police would be looking at a lawsuit the size of a very big thing.

Taiwan really is descending into the Philippines/Thailand level of public order. Shooting people they can't arrest lawfully. Ho hum.

NOo, the sad thing is that this huge guy possibly had a cop by the throat and was going to strangle him to death. Seeing the cop was weaker he simply used a tool at hand to prevent himself getting killed by some angry foreigner.
