Well, you never know until you ask, After extensive searching through various databases and websites, it turns out, surprisingly, that there are no spoon related deaths, unless one counts the spoon's involvement in martini deaths and obesity.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Perhaps spoons are lumped in with other kitchen utensils? Like spatulas. Skillets. Egg-beaters.
Who knows how much damage could be inflicted?

It seems to me that the biggest problem we have is that too many cops are just pussies.
Hear fucking hear. For a group of people that signed up to a job with the very real possibility that violence might be inflicted upon them...they're awfully damned risk adverse.....
Some* cops seem to get antsy when your sub sandwich is wrapped in too much aluminum, when you you give them the evil eye, or when you fail to recognize their absolute and unerring authority in every situation they insert themselves into. Mice with pistols, imo. I'm not sure it should really surprise us when they pop a few rounds off into the boogeymen they see everytime they turn a corner.

I'd like to see someone who came home from Iraq or something laugh his ass off at a cop that said he feared for his life because someone had a spoon/screwdriver/whatever. I know police work can be stressful, but you volunteered for this. this was what you wanted to do. if you can't handle it, get a different job.
They love the power, and ignore the responsibility.

Infantry that shoot because they're scared don't get a choice as to whether or not they keep their jobs. There are plenty of desks that need manning in this world, latrines that need cleaning, garbage that needs to be taken out, lawns to mow.

Quote:Father of 21-year-old man killed by police says son surrendered before being shot to death
Quote:BRICK TOWNSHIP -- The father of a Brick Township man killed by police outside his home said he has proof that his son surrendered before cops shot him to death.
Quote:He disputed authorities' claims that his son did not raise his arms when instructed by police to do so.
"His arms were up," Derek Hoffman said on Tuesday. "We have proof."

Quote:#BLM activists seek justice for Samuel Harrell — killed by ‘Beat Up Squad’ guards at New York prison
Quote:A corrections officer told emergency medical crews that Harrell, who had announced he was leaving prison despite having several more years left on a drug sentence, had overdosed on a form of synthetic marijuana known as K2 and did not say he had been beaten.
However, an autopsy revealed Harrell had taken no drugs except an antidepressant and tobacco, and his cause of death was ruled a homicide.
“What is left to investigate? It has been four months,” said Margaret Kwateng, of the Hudson Valley Black Lives Matter Coalition. “The autopsy ruled his death a homicide and there are 19 affidavits and letters documenting the fatal beating. If Bill Grady doesn’t press homicide charges, he will not only be condoning the continued terrorizing of current inmates at the hands of a known gang of violent corrections officers, but condoning racist violence in prisons in general.”
It's a fair question, Mr. DA. What is left to investigate?

Perhaps the D.A.'s office.
