Yeah I mean if cops murdered another kid I hope it isn't negatively reflected in the media. The kid died btw. This stuff has to stop.
Nope, but some are jumping to conclusions
I can't believe anyone would do that job. It's kind of like complaining that the kid in the drive thru sucks at making a burger. That's the quality of applicants you get for that payscale
I respect the good ones and hate the bad ones. It's a tough job and a lot of cops have no business having access to a firearm.
Agree, also could be said for the common citizen. Doesn't change my stance on the right to own guns though, only makes me feel like I need more of them
If he was armed and was asked numerous times to put it away that's different. Didn't seem to have any info available in that article and the video didn't show anything so I assumed the worst.
Rule #1 for starters don't brandish a weapon in front of police
If he didn't have a gun we get shot! If he did have a gun and they asked him to drop it, then he'll get shot for reaching for the gun. It's a no win when dealing with the modern day klan. Gun or no gun, he'll say he was scared for his life and get off. Even if he shoots us in the back while we're running away. NWA was right about cops.
Whites in potential hostile policing situations are shot at virtually the same percentage as blacks in the same scenario. Do you know that? Cops arent perfect but it seems they are equally flawed when put in that position.
take ur shit somewhere else bro. I've been jailed for being black. Fortunately not shot but jailed. The phony charges were dropped at first appearance. Go figure
link? I don't see white 16yr old kids getting shot on the news. Or a white guy getting shot in the back. Only when this white lady gets shot in minny will things change. That police chief wasn't forced to resign until a white person got killed. And the cop was black so now I expect changes. and the cop will probably be found guilty unlike in other situations when the ethnicity were reversed.
You rarely see the real data anywhere on the news. That's why you only see black men beingg killed by cops on the new when twice as many whites are killed by cops every year. And this is not a debatable statistic.
Here the Washington Post so you don't down play the sources to deny the figures
all those stastics doesn't mean that a cop should shoot a 12 yr old kid with a air gun. Or I go to jail for something the damn judge called unconstitutional (loitering.) Like I said, this doesn't happen to white kids. Bottom line is we're seen as a threat to the white male. Whether posters admit it or not. If I knew then what I know now I would have sued them for violating my civil rights.
Threads like this only end up on the bottom when a black guy gives the black male perspective. If it was only white posters, it would have stayed on top.
No one condones the bad cops. And they do exist. You alluded to the reality of the statistics. As well as the brokenness of black families/homes on a much higher level than the rest of the nation. So why is the media at war with policing agencies when the real solution is 2 parent homes and honestly a culture shift away from gang mentality, victimhood, and condoning illegal behavior as a means to financial stability. Those are all excuses to commit crime and furthers what you said about the system being set up to take away fathers. Well, condoning the cultural building blocks that lead to criminal behavior is just as guilty IMO.
