So that's what's going on in places such as Chicago and other areas? Nobody does anything about it because they enjoy the thrill of watching black/brown men and women get shot? You might be on to something.

Totally not a warped view of police.

Thats not the view of the police thats the view of people that dont care to acknowledge bad shoots.

Oh goodness

Update from the autopsy: Bradford Jr was shot in the back three times. Witnesses say he was directing innocent civilians who were exiting when the officer arrived and immediately shot him three times in the back.

EJ Bradford, a US Army soldier, was "a good guy with a gun." He was literally saving lives when the cops shot him dead.

This **** is really out of hand.

Hopefully, the officer responsible will be tried.

But - it's Alabama.

I don't think any cops want to shoot anybody that's innocent. With the possible exception of a very small number of psychopaths who might wear a badge. The problem is their training and they've been taught that their own safety comes before the safety of the public they're supposed to serve. I understand that thinking but it's why I chose not to be a cop. Soldiers, cops, firemen they have to sign up to put other peoples safety before their own and, at least with respect to the young black man, they are not doing that anymore.

Three times in the back. Will any of the cop lovers here defend this?

But as someone else here said, it's Alabama. The cop will walk.

I still can't get over the cop who wasn't convicted who shot the exterminator dude in the hotel corridor while he was crawling face down.

If that was a member of my family...wow.

  1. "The cop shot the innocent man because he had a gun in his hand."
  2. "The cop shot the innocent man because he was black."
  3. "The cop shot the innocent man because he was black and had a gun in his hand."

These are probably the three leading theories. We may never know. Will justice be served?
